EmacsConf 2023 report

[Sacha Chua]

Hi everyone!

We've put together a quick report summarizing EmacsConf 2023. Yay! You can find 
it at https://emacsconf.org/2023/report/ . Here's the overview section from 
that report:

----------------------------------------------------------------
EmacsConf 2023 was held on December 2 and 3 as an online conference. We had 41 
talks across two tracks (general and development), with a total of 16 hours of 
presentations, 12 hours of Q&A via web conference, and lots of lively 
discussion across IRC and Etherpad. Throughout the conference, there were 
100-250 people watching via the livestream, and more than 80 people joined the 
live Q&A web conferences. There were also satellite events in Switzerland and 
Slovenia where people watched together.

Thanks to volunteers who edited captions for pre-recorded videos, we were able 
to broadcast all 25 early submissions with open captions. This not only made 
talks more accessible while watching the livestreams, but it also made it 
easier to enjoy the talks in noisy environments or to catch up on talks. People 
said:

    "that is some hero subtitling on 'cccc' to 'C-c C-c'. thank you!"

If you'd like to help edit captions or add chapter markers, we'd love to hear 
from you. Please see https://emacsconf.org/captioning for details.

We posted pre-recorded videos and transcripts on talk pages shortly after they 
started streaming, and live talks and Q&A sessions within two weeks. Automatic 
captions are now available for the rest of the talks and Q&A sessions. We've 
also archived questions and comments from IRC and Etherpad onto the talk pages. 
You can find the talk pages at https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks . The videos 
are also available on Toobnix (https://toobnix.org/c/emacsconf/videos) and 
YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@EmacsConf).

If anyone feels like editing automatic captions or thinking about some of the 
ideas for next year, help is always welcome! =)
