Yes, the talk description will be shown on the talk page before, during,
and after EmacsConf. You can update it whenever you like either by
commiting changes to the Git repo or e-mailing us.

We'll probably include the introduction as well, once we have a look at
all the talk introductions and see how they go together with the talk
descriptions. We'll most likely read something like the introductions
out loud before the actual talks, too.

- Live web conference = yes, BigBlueButton
- pad = Etherpad, a collaborative web-based document that anyone can edit
- IRC = Internet Relay Chat, which is text-based and chronological
wiki = we'll add the questions to the wiki and let you know when they're
up, and you can either edit them directly or you can reply by e-mail
- email = people can e-mail you questions and you can reply directly

Yes, the main conference will most likely be 9AM - 5PM EST on Dec 2 - 3. If 
other
organizers would like to hold events for other timezones, we're happy to
coordinate.

Hope that helps!
