“EmacsConf 2024 was a success! With 31 talks, totaling 10.7 hours, and 21 hours of Q&A web conferences, the event was informative and engaging. Server configurations were updated to handle the peak CPU loads effectively. The schedule was well-managed, adapting to late submissions and cancellations. Recordings were encouraged, ensuring stress-free captioning. WhisperX speech-to-text software improved accuracy, with only minor issues. A new BigBlueButton server was set up for web conferences, with some initial setup challenges. Overall, the event ran smoothly, with hosts handling technical issues adeptly. Plans for future events include refining video processing and experimenting with different facilitation styles.”
