That's wonderful! Thanks for reaching out. =) Here's a quick list of
things people can work on so we can see if any of them sound interesting
to you:

- Captioning: People get to pick whichever talk(s) they want to edit the
captions for, so it's a nice way to enjoy EmacsConf over a longer period
of time.

- Audio normalization: It would be nice to have a consistent audio level
so that people can watch more comfortably.

- Quality assurance: Sometimes the ffmpeg re-encoding script gets
accidentally interrupted or the compression is a bit too much. Someone
could watch the reencoded videos and doublecheck everything plays well,
captions are reasonable, etc.

- Volunteer roles during the conference itself: details at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacsconf-discuss/2023-10/msg00000.html

Would any of those things happen to be in line with the things you'd
like to do?

I'll send you the backstage username and password in a separate e-mail.
Thanks for reaching out!
