# Org-roam: Technical Presentation
Saturday, Nov 28 2020, 3:40 PM - 4:00 PM
Leo Vivier
Org-roam is a Roam replica built on top of the all-powerful Org-mode.
Org-roam is a solution for effortless non-hierarchical note-taking
with Org-mode. With Org-roam, notes flow naturally, making
note-taking fun and easy. Org-roam should also work as a
plug-and-play solution for anyone already using Org-mode for their
personal wiki.
Org-roam aims to implement the core features of Roam, leveraging the
mature ecosystem around Org-mode where possible. Eventually, we hope
to further introduce features enabled by the Emacs ecosystem.
The purpose of the talk is to present some technical aspects of
Org-roam. From the very beginning, we wanted Org-roam to scale with
your notes, and this meant that we had to keep a close eye on our
performances. As we iterated, optimisation remained a top-priority,
leading us to constantly peek under Org-mode's hood. Not only has
this made us better developers, but it has also uncovered paths of
optimisation for Org-mode itself.
The talk is targeted at software engineers willing to peek under
Org-mode's hood. A rudimentary understanding of Elisp will be
required.
Points to be covered
- SQL database via emacsql
- Elisp libraries
- Parsing of Org-mode files
- org-elements.e
- Parsing with a background-process
- Ensuring consistency via hooks

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!
