# An Emacs Developer Story: From User to Maintainer
Saturday, Nov 28 2020, 9:46 AM - 10:06 AM
Leo Vivier
In light of the new development philosophy for Org-mode, I would like
to present my developer story from discovering Org-mode in 2014 to
becoming a maintainer for a big project in 2020. The goal is to show
the logical progression between interest, gaining skills, becoming an
expert, authoring, contributing and maintaining, in hope that it would
bolster people to do the same.
As someone who majored in a non CS-related degree, I feel that my
story has a potential to grasp the attention of many attendees, since
I basically started from the bottom of the ladder. Most people should
be able to relate to one step on that ladder, which should hopefully
encourage them to reach for the next step.
My init files, which show the organic growth of my configuration:
<https://github.com/zaeph/.emacs.d>
Org-roam, the software which I am maintaining
<https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam>
Back to the [[schedule]]
All times are approximate, and we might shuffle talks around as needed.
Please check <https://emacsconf.org/2020> a few days before the start of the
conference for instructions on how to watch and participate. See you then!
