The link will be emailed to all registrants of the conference. <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\r\n<h4>All you need is an active email account to which a confirmation email is sent. Joining the link in the confirmation email then lets you sign up with your name and a password of your choice. Please use your full name (first name and last name) so that everyone knows who you are.<\/h4>\r\n<h4><strong>Using Slack<\/strong><br \/>Once you&#8217;re signed up and ready to go, you can start using Slack in your browser. Alternatively, you can download a desktop client (free of charge) for Microsoft Windows, OSX, and Linux, see\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/protect-au.mimecast.com\/s\/YbwGCJyBPjFxM4vyUzeOvF?domain=slack.com\">https:\/\/slack.com\/downloads<\/a>.<\/h4>\r\n<h4>A Slack workspace consists of several &#8220;channels&#8221;, whose names are always preceded by a # (such as the #conference channel &#8211; see below for a list of channels and what they&#8217;re supposed to do). The discussions happen in these channels, but you can also directly message another participant and even create group chats with multiple people. To do this, just click on the &#8220;New message&#8221; icon to the right of the slack workspace name &#8220;AQIS_2020&#8221; in the top-left corner, and enter the recipients of your message in the To: field. While we&#8217;ve created several public channels (in the sense that everyone joining the Slack workspace is automatically joining the public channels), you can also create private channels and invite selected participants for more in-depth discussions. For a general tutorial on how to use Slack, see\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/protect-au.mimecast.com\/s\/mOzVCK1D6kHLpAN9SAJ8SJ?domain=slack.com\">https:\/\/slack.com\/intl\/en-at\/resources\/using-slack\/how-to-use-slack<\/a>.<\/h4>\r\n<h4><strong>Public channels<\/strong><br \/>The following is a list of public channels corresponding to the main topics:<\/h4>\r\n<h4>#1-crypto<br \/>#2-resources<br \/>#3-information-theory<br \/>#4-communication<br \/>#5-computation<br \/>#6-fundamentals<br \/>#random &#8211; Every slack workspace traditionally has a #random channel, in which you can post things that fit in neither of the above channels.<\/h4>\r\n<h4>\u00a0<\/h4>\r\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0f4beb;\"><strong>2. GATHER.TOWN<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<h4><strong>What is gather.town<\/strong><br \/>Gather.town is a location-based video-calling tool. You&#8217;ll be assigned an avatar which you can navigate through the online conference venue.<\/h4>\r\n<h4>Your avatar will walk around the map, bumping into people or watching recorded talks. If you are close to another avatar, a video conferencing window opens and you can start speaking to each other (you can choose to turn off your video or microphone). If you move away, video conferencing disappears. You can also interact with objects, such as posters. Visually, Gather looks like an old-school 8-bit pixel art video game.<br \/><br \/><strong>Joining in<\/strong><br \/>You will need to use Chrome or Firefox. <br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Click to join using\u00a0the AQIS link\u00a0and the password.<\/strong> <strong>The link will be emailed to all registrants of the conference. <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\r\n<h4>Then type your name (preferred &#8211; so people can find you) and university (optional), and click &#8220;Join the Gathering&#8221;. If your browser asks for you permission to use microphone and camera, please allow them.<\/h4>\r\n<h4><strong>Inside Gather<\/strong><br \/>You will then see your name above your avatar, which you can now move around the space using the arrows on your keyboard.\u00a0 Your microphone and video will automatically start sharing if you move close to another attendee&#8217;s avatar.\u00a0 You can also search for other attendees in the search bar. If you want to interact with an object, for example to have a closer look at a poster, move your avatar close to it and click &#8220;X&#8221;.\u00a0<\/h4>\r\n<h4><strong>The venue<br \/><\/strong>Our virtual conference venue would consist of a room for each topic (e.g. crypto), where you can watch the recorded talks, find more information about them and chat with other participants, as well as shared areas where you can chat with other participants one-on-one or in a group.\u00a0<\/h4>\r\n<h4>More information about using gather.town can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/protect-au.mimecast.com\/s\/OnppCyojmOIY5pNOfQjCsl?domain=gather.town\">https:\/\/gather.town\/docs<\/a><\/h4>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h4><a name=\"video submission\"><\/a><\/h4>\r\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em><strong>SUBMISSION (submissions closed)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<h4><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><strong>VIDEO SUBMISSION GUIDELINES<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\r\n<h4><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><strong>Video submission deadline: <\/strong>3 December 2020 (by 5:00pm anywhere on Earth).\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<div>\r\n<h4><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><b>1.
