Links to BigBlueButton recordings are now available from https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/ . I'll eventually work on figuring out combining them into webms so people can watch them more easily instead of using the web player, and then I can figure out minor edits.

Drafting a brief report on 2023. The other organizers suggested including a section on conference highlights. It's hard for me to pick, although we should definitely mention @howard's talk on solo RPGs in as a crowd favourite, and it was nice to have John Wiegley, @yantar92, and Stefan Kangas speak about core development. Want to make my life easier and reply with your favourite talks and why? :)

was tons of fun! :) The prerecorded videos are up at https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks and I'll work on extracting the live talks and Q&A this month.

I seem to have fallen into the enhanced CAPTCHA bucket that asks me to click on sooo many images of bicycles and motorcycles and traffic lights, probably because I misclicked a couple of things before (trackpoint! buttons!). I'm getting grumpier and grumpier about it. It was somewhat tolerable in the early days of asking humans for help with image classification or text recognition, but with all the corporate froth around self-driving cars or generative AI images... Meh.

I received a Google Open Source Peer Bonus award, which was a pleasant surprise. :) Thinking of ways to reinvest it into Emacs and the community to see what a little money earmarked for that could do. People have already donated enough to to cover hosting costs, so that's all sorted out. Might see how USD ~250 could be used to help me make more blog posts and videos. Could start with experiments with speech recognition or NLP/AI for outlining/summarizing/cleaning up my audio braindumps. Paying for cloud usage will let me do tiny experiments without upgrading my X230T for now. We'll see!

Yay, all the talks uploaded so far either have captions or volunteers are working on captions for them. That's 4 in progress (127 minutes total) and 20 finished (365 minutes). One week to go. I can use the next few days to test the infrastructure and improve the process documentation (especially those just-in-case scenarios!) before I might need to do any last-minute captioning. Mildly stressed, but I know we'll all manage to figure things out!

Mwahahaha, I've figured out how to use url-http-oauth to talk to the Youtube Data API from Emacs Lisp so I can update video titles and descriptions. I can even use plz by passing the bearer token in as a header. Tomorrow I'll figure out how to copy all the video IDs into my Org properties, upload any missing videos, and set all the captions we have so far. At some point, I'll add the code to our repo and write a blog post. Whee!
