Lexicon: added a link to the music that's playing between talks

1. Where are the Villages?
You can find villages by searching for them in the search box.
Here are some links to help you get started.
[[Lockpicking Village]]
[[RF_Village_Village]]
[[RADIO_STATLER_Village]]
[[Anarchist_Hackers_Village]]
[[Dim_Sum_Labs_Village]]

1a. Aren't most of the villages supposed to be open all day? How do I access them?
Access to the villages depends on the person in charge of the village. After a BBB session for the village has been started the person in charge will put a link on their village wiki page. (links above) You can also sign up for any of the workshops if they offer them.

2. Where is the transcription?
The transcription links are updated on [[REAL_TIME_TEXT]] page (one transcription per talk or keynote). Please note that the wiki for the real time text may not update immediately, so ask for the otter ai link in the Q&A channel if it's not there.

3. I wasn't invited to all the channels or I don't see all the channels in Matrix. How do I fix it?
The HOPE Matrix Bot aka [[Conference_bot]] is your friend. Message the bot with your ticket and it will invite you.
Some users have had to log out and log back in or switch browsers to get channels to show back up.

4. Do I have to provide an email address?
Adding your email for registration is optional. If you add an email you are required to verify it before you can log in.

5. I didn't get a confirmation email for a workshop I signed up for.
There is no confirmation sent after you sign up for a workshop. You should receive an email with the room information about an hour before the workshop.

6. I can't get into a workshop why is the limit so low?
Workshops are meant to be more interactive so while the space is virtual the teacher's capacity to help is limited. The person in charge of the workshop set the limit.

7. Will workshops be recorded so I can watch them later?
Most workshops aren't going to be recorded to watch later. That is up to the person giving the workshop. A list of workshops that were recorded will be available later.

8. I missed a talk! Where can I watch the replay?
Don't worry the talks are being archived. You can find them on Archive dot org and on livestream dot com
For livestream you click the Event Posts Link on the right hand side below the go live button.
[https://livestream.com/internetsociety3/hope2020 livestream dot com]
And here's a link to the [https://archive.org/details/hopeconf2020 archive dot org] page.

9. I bought a ticket and I haven't got my ticket token yet?
It takes a while to process new tokens but you should get your ticket token within 12 hours of your purchase. If you haven't received it by them please email the [helpdesk2020@helpdesk.hope.net helpdesk] and include your order information.

10. Where is the secondary stream or alternative streams?
The [[LIVESTREAM]] page has all the details, but you can try and access [https://livestream.com/internetsociety2/hope2020 Room 2 here].

11. Why can't I log in to the matrix server through my phone or another app?
Matrix home server URL for desktop/mobile clients: https://matrix.hope.net

12. My workshop link keeps taking me to the wrong event! How do I make it stop?
If this happens the fastest fix is to close your browser and relaunch. There's some caching happening somewhere and this has proven to be the quickest fix so far.

13. Where can I get the music that's playing between the talks?
The music is by Cameron Glass, and it's available on Bandcamp for free here: http://cameronglass.bandcamp.com/album/hope-2020-soundtrack

We want to help give back by holding a fundraiser for the EFF during the
nine days of HOPE. We believe we can bring in $10,000 over that period.
Throughout the conference, many EFF people will be giving talks on
topics like the evils of Ring, mobile privacy, the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act, facial recognition, and more. And the traditional
"Ask the EFF" panel is always a favorite with our attendees.

So please join with us and be among the first to support EFF so they'll
be there for all of us in the future. We have a feeling we're going to
be needing them.

= Hackers Helping to Fight COVID-19 =

The unprecedented health threats and global response to the COVID-19 pandemic
have impacted everyone. Many hackers, makers, educators, and others have put
their skills to use by contributing to solutions to a wide range of challenges.

These contributions are the essence of the hacker spirit: People using their
skills, intelligence and energy to help other people. Hackers are helping by
designing, making and distributing much-needed medical supplies. They are
helping by creating communication forums, informative websites, software, and
safe entertainment. They are helping by fighting disinformation, and doing
research and experimentation to investigate solutions and mitigations.

'''On [[Helping#Hackers_Helping_to_Fight_COVID-19|this page]], we have collected links to some of the projects,
products, groups, and activities that highlight how hackers are helping.'''
