____________________ EmacsConf 2019 Virtual Conference ____________________ November 2, 2019 Hello, fellow denizens of the Emacs-verse! We are holding EmacsConf 2019 on November 2 as a virtual (online) conference this year. Our Call for Proposals is open until August 31. EmacsConf is back again this year, after a much too long hiatus, and we are calling for your participation! EmacsConf is the conference about the joy of Emacs, Emacs Lisp, and memorizing key sequences. We welcome speakers of *all backgrounds* and *all levels of experience*, including newcomers submitting a proposal to give their first talk. Please see the full CFP over at https://emacsconf.org/2019/cfp on our wiki or attached below, for all the details including important dates, talk formats and ideas, how to submit your proposal, and how to get involved! Most discussion and chatter around the conference happens on our IRC channel #emacsconf on irc.freenode.net; feel free to come by and say hi! Also, don’t forget to subscribe to our emacsconf-discuss mailing list for more discussion and announcements about the conference: https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacsconf-discuss P.S. I had announced the CFP two weeks ago over on emacsconf-discuss and a few other places, but I didn’t get around to posting it here on emacs-devel sooner. If you would like to submit a proposal but think the August 31st deadline is approaching quickly and that you would need more time, please email me off-list so we can discuss further and try to arrange something :) Looking forward to your ideas and submissions!
