- What
An alternate stream of EmacsConf 2021 for APAC hours.
EmacsConf is the annual conference about the joy of Emacs, Emacs Lisp, and memorising key bindings. It is a conference for people of all levels and backgrounds.
The 2021 Edition will take place 27th-28th November online. To help make the conference more accessible, LibreAustralia will be streaming a subset of the talks with hours favourable to APAC timezones on Sunday 28th Nov.
The stream will be available at https://stream.libreau.org/live.webm and can be viewed with a media player like mpv or vlc, or in a browser like IceCat, Abrowser or Firefox. For example, to view the stream in mpv, simply invoke
mpv https://stream.libreau.org/live.webm
on the command line.
Just like the main stream, we will be utilising IRC (#libreau at libera.chat) for discussions. If you are not familiar with IRC and/or prefer to using something "webby", head to chat.libreau.org for a webchat.
We will also use Etherpad for async Q&As.
See below for the schedule. Talks marked with * means the speaker will be able to take live Q&A on IRC.
