Along the Way: An Anecdote of Emacs's Malleability\nCase Duckworth\n\nEmac
s is well-known for being extremely flexible\, programmable\, and\nextensi
ble\; in fact\, that's probably the biggest reason it's still\nbeing used
after 40+ years of existence\, and even has enough clout to\ngenerate an e
ntire conference in its name. In this medium-length\npresentation\, I wil
l add another point to the data set proving Emacs's\nabilities\, by narrat
ing the latest package I made\, \\`frowny.el\\`\, from\nits conception to
its current\, nearly-completed state.\n\nI wrote frowny.el to scratch some
one else's itch as a joke on IRC\, but\nit has been called "pretty useful\
, for a joke package." I feel like\nthat encapsulates the spirit of Emacs
and that's why I want to present\non this topic.\n\nAlong the way\, I'll
discuss just a little of my own history of Emacs\,\nand why I feel it's a
great tool for non-technical users to sink their\nteeth into.

conf.org/2021/talks/adventure\n# Choose Your Own (Technology-Enhanced Lear
ning) Adventure\nGreta Goetz\n\nThis presentation will first illustrate po
ssible paths for beginners and then mapping out the significance of the en
hanced learning potential of Emacs (Caillet in Andler & Guerry\, Markauska
ite & Goodyear). The technology-enhanced learning (TEL) that Emacs affords
departs from the 'many\, many features' (Stallman) which surpass the conf
ines of a pre-fabricated environment (Stiegler). This affords diverse poss
ibilities for individuals to interact creatively and autonomously to satis
fy their own needs alongside others who share use of the tool (Illich). It
s adaptability will be shown to be an asset in support of the learning tre
nds identified by the latest pedagogical research (Guo).\n\n1. Setting ou
t as beginners who may be overwhelmed by formal Emacs documentation. Some
inroads. No trace is too small.\n2. Emacs as common ground between people
and technology.\n3. Emacs modularity and TEL design.\n4. Emacs as perso
nal\, creative\, autonomous.\n5. Emacs and cognitive democracy.\n\n\n# Re

X Philosophy Isn't Always The Only Answer\nDaniel Rose\n\nThe talk targets
users who are curious about computational philosophies\,\nor those who mi
ght not know how to best utilise Emacs conceptually. The\ntalk will cover
what the UNIX philosophy is\, the GNU Free Software\nprinciples\, a typica
l (Neo)Vi(m) user's approach\, and then how one might\naccomplish this in
Emacs combining the aformentioned ideals. The\nlisteners will learn how th
ey can approach Emacs ideologically\, and how\nblocking themselves into on
e philosophy or the other will limit their\nefficiency. Although you may b
e a veteran GNU/Linux and Emacs user\,\nunderstanding how to use both phil
osophies together will still allow you\nto be more performant than without
.\n\n\n\n# Outline\n\n- How can one limit their usage of CLI tools while
still maintaining\n the ideals of both.\n- How using CLI tools c
an still perfectly flow into Emacs.\n- How having all programs in Emacs
and unified keybindings is akin\n to a terminal user.\n- Why thin

DESCRIPTION: Times are approximate and will probably change.\nhttps://emacs
conf.org/2021/talks/omegat\n# Emacs manuals translation and OmegaT\nJean-C
hristophe Helary\n\nEven if it is generally agreed that software localizat
ion is a good thing\, Emacs is lacking in that respect for a number of tec
hnical reasons. Nonetheless\, the free software using public could greatly
benefit from Emacs manuals translations\, even if the interface were to r
emain in English.\n\nOmegaT is a multiplatform GPL3+ "computer aided trans
lation" (CAT) tool running on OpenJDK 8. CATs are roughly equivalent for t
ranslators to what IDEs are for code writers. Casual translators can benef
it from their features but professionals or commited amateurs are the most
likely to make the most use of such tools.\n\nWhen OmegaT\, free software
based forges and Emacs meet\, we have a free multi-user translation envir
onment that can easily sustain the (close to) 2 million words load that co
mprise the manuals distributed with Emacs\, along with powerful features l
ike arbitrary string protection for easy typing and QA (quality assurance)
\, automatic legacy translation handling\, glossary management\, history b
ased or predictive autocompletion\, etc.\n\nThe current trial project for
French is hosted on 2 different forges:\n\n1. sr.ht hosts the source file
s\n <https://sr.ht/~brandelune/documentation_emacs/>\n2. chapril hosts
the OmegaT team project architecture\n <https://sr.ht/~brandelune/docu
mentation_emacs/>\n\nThe sources are regularly updated with a po4a based s
hell script.\n\n# Outline\n\n- Duration: 10 minutes\n- Software used durin
g the presentation\n - [po4a](https://po4a.org) a tool to convert documen
tation formats to and from the commonly used `gettext` **PO** format.\n
po4a supports the `texinfo` format along with many others.\n - [OmegaT](
https://omegat.org) a "computer aided translation" tool used by translator
s to efficiently combine translation ressources (legacy translations\, glo
ssaries\, etc.) so as to produce more consistent translations.\n\nDuring t
he presentation\, I will show:\n\n- How to use po4a to convert the texi fi
les to the PO format (the org.org file is also converted)\n- What are the
specificities of the Emacs manuals and what difficulties they present to t
he tanslator\n- How to address those specificities in OmegaT\, with regula
r expressions\n- How to use OmegaT features such as arbitrary string prote
ction\, legacy translation handling\, glossaries\, autocompletion\, QA\, e
tc.\n- How to use OmegaT with a team of 2 (or more) translators working at
the same time\n- How to solve translation conflicts\n\nI will *not* show:
\n\n- How to create an OmegaT project\n- How to setup an OmegaT team proje
ct\n- How to use OmegaT from the command line to work in localization pipe
lines\n- How to use machine translation and MT "post-edit"\n- How to conve
rt back the translated files to texi format\n- How to install translated t
exi files for use in Emacs

conf.org/2021/talks/montessori\n# Emacs and Montessori Philosophy\n\n\nAs
a former Montessori guide and now parent\, I often think about the\nrelati
onship of this particular educational philosophy and how it manifests\nin
my work with software\, Emacs in particular. This talk introduces the\ncon
cept of Emacs as an educational environment and how it expresses elements
of\nMontessori psychology regarding "Human Tendencies". Human tendencies a
re innate\ndrives present in everybody that allow us to explore and make s
ense of our world.\n\n\n\n# Outline\n\n- 5-10 minutes: (brief descriptio
n/outline)\n Quick overview of a Montessori classroom environment:\n\n
- the adults or guides primarily observe and present material\n -
the children are free to explore materials as they choose (within limits
)\n - the environment itself is prepared specifically to foster engag
ement\n\n Enumerate the "Human Tendencies":\n\n - Abstraction\n
- Activity\n - Communication\n - Exactness\n - Explorati
on\n - Manipulation (of the environment)\n - Order\n - Orie
ntation\n - Repetition\n - Self-Perfection\n - Work (also d
escribed as "purposeful activity")\n\n How does Emacs express these thi
ngs?\n\n - in the short version\, pose the question\, and perhaps giv
e one example.\n - Emacs is an environment that provides facilities f
or individuals to\n find their way to proficiency through their Hum
an Tendencies.\n - We are all both learners and guides\, Emacs is our
classroom

s Professional Development\nPhilip Beadling\n\nI recently had the pleasure
of being audited for my CPD record with one\nof the large engineering pro

PD items and my progress against them\ncompletely within Emacs. I also wa

for auditing submission.\n\nThe project was a success (I passed the audit)
and the resulting system\nintegrates really well into my wider daily Emac

be seen here:\n<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/falloutphil/Misc/master

pre-configured to be exported to PDF in a condensed\nbut readable format f

The elisp required is all under the "Config" bullet and Emacs will ask\nto

custom org capture functions and a few functions to ensure nice\nformattin

Org mode is known for its flexibility\, power\, and staggeringly diverse\n
number of workflows\, users\, and use cases.\n\nThis talk explores just ho
w far we can push the boundaries of the sane\nand sensible with regard to
Org workflows.\n\nIn particular it will discuss shebang blocks\, and elvs:
two parts of a\ncomplete system for creating executable Org files.\n\nOrg
syntax does not support shebang lines. However\, it turns out that\nOrg s
yntax enables something even better —\; shebang blocks.\n\nOrg is al
so (supposedly) not an executable file format. However\, by\ncombining a
shebang block with a Org babel source block\, and eval\nlocal variables (e
lvs) Org becomes a multi-language executable format.\n\nIn this talk we in
troduce shebang blocks and elvs as a two part system\nthat transforms Org
files into executable documents that can run on any\nrecent version of Ema
cs.\n\nThese ideas are implemented in\n<https://github.com/tgbugs/orgstrap
/blob/master/README.org> and\n<https://github.com/tgbugs/orgstrap/blob/mas
ter/shebang.org>\, and\norgstrap.el is available as a package on MELPA and
can be installed\nvia M-x install-package orgstrap.\n\nThe talk will open
with a demo of how to create an executable Org file\nusing the orgstrap m
achinery.\n\nWe then discuss security considerations\, and show example us
e cases.\n\nFinally the talk will cover the details and development of the
\nportable shebang block for Org mode that works on a wide variety of\nsys
tems and shells\, and on the development of a formal specification\nand a
reference implementation for using Org source blocks to\ntransform Org fil
es from plain text documents with a bit of markup\ninto self describing co
mputational documents\, or interactive\napplications.\n\n\n\n# Outline\n\n

rg-mode is already an extremely powerful and\ncustomisable tool for task a
nd time management\, note-taking\, calendar\nand agenda management\, and m
uch more. Babel takes org a step further\nby letting you write\, evaluate\
, and export code in different languages\nfrom within a single file. In th
is talk\, I will highlight some\nfeatures of babel that I find exciting an
d extremely useful\,\nparticularly for an academic workflow.\n\nGetting st
arted with babel can be intimidating\, but it's hard to stop\nusing it onc
e you start. As an academic\, I typically don't manage\nlarge coding proje
cts. My primary purpose is writing lecture notes\,\nassignments\, and pape
rs\, and managing related admin. Typically\, I want\nto try and automate t
he boring portions of my workflow without extra\noverhead. I also tend to
find various tasks easier in some programming\nlanguages and harder in oth
ers\, and prefer to mix and match languages\nas the task dictates. Babel m
akes this process seamless.\n\nA basic use case is writing a document in o
rg-mode and exporting it to\nLaTeX or HTML. Org-mode even lets you write m
ultiple documents in a\nsingle org file\, which can be convenient. Babel l
ets you add all sorts\nof enhancements to the same file. For example\, sup
pose we have a\nsingle org document with all the problem sets for a course
. Within\nthis single file\, we could now:\n\n- draw pictures in ditaa\,
graphviz\, or python instead of LaTeX\,\n- use python to do complex cal
culations and then output the result as LaTeX\,\n- define skeletons to q
uickly draw up assignment templates\,\n- toggle exporting of assignments
with or without solutions based on tags\,\n- locally change export sett
ings or run a post-export hook\,\n- automatically export to LaTeX after
saving\,\n- tangle code blocks from some or all of the languages to exte
rnal files.\n\nI will try to showcase features of babel that academics cou
ld find\nhelpful\, by presenting some ways in which I have tried to use ba
bel. I\nwould also like to be inspired by other people's babel workflows!\
n\n\n\n# Outline\n\n- 5-10 minutes: (brief description/outline)\n\nFor a
5-10 minute presentation I will give a brief intro and present one or two
example files that heavily use babel. I will use these\nexamples to highl

plemental materials.\nSome structural bioinformaticists have started to in
clude\ntheir computer code in the supplemental materials to allow readers\
nto reproduce their analyses. However\, authors of papers reporting new\nm
olecular structures often overlook the inclusion of the code that makes\nt
he images of the molecules reported in their articles. Nonetheless\,\nthis
aspect of reproducible research needs to become the standard practice\nto
improve the rigor of the science.\n\nIn a literate programming document\,
the author interleaves blocks\nof explanatory prose between code blocks t
hat make the images of molecules.\nThe document allows the reader to repro
duce the images in the manuscript by running the code.\nThe reader can als
o explore the effect of altering the parameters in the\ncode. Org files ar
e one alternative for making such literate programming\ndocuments.\n\nWe d
eveloped a **yasnippet** snippet library called **orgpymolpysnips** for\ns
tructural biologists (<https://github.com/MooersLab/orgpymolpysnips>).\nTh
is library facilitates the assembly of literate programming documents\nwit
h molecular images made by PyMOL. PyMOL is the most popular\nmolecular gra
phics program for creating images for publication\; it has\nover 100\,000
users\, which is a lot of users in molecular biology. PyMOL\nhas been used
to make many of the images of biological molecules found\non the covers o
f many Cell\, Nature\, and Science issues.\n\nWe used the **jupyter** lang
uage in **org-babel** to send commands from\ncode blocks in Org files to P
yMOL's Python API. PyMOL returns the\nmolecular image to the output block
below the code block. An Emacs\nuser can convert the Org file into a PDF\,
`tangle' the code blocks\ninto a script file\, and submit these for non-E

e a computer. Even if Emacs\nusers love text as a format\, they may need t
o shop and video call from\ntime to time (even more so in a pandemic!). So
me of us modified their\nbrowsers to at least have the same keybindings as
our editor of\nchoice. What if I told you there is an Emacsy browser in t
he making?\nWhat if you could "ace-jump" within a web page? What if you co
uld run\na REPL to extend your browser while browsing? What if you could r
ecord\nmacros?! The browser exists: its name is Nyxt!\n\nIn this talk I wi
ll share why it has great potential\, how you can\nintegrate it with Emacs
\, and how you can migrate your Emacs mastery to\nthe web!\n\nIf you were
wishing for a Lispy and Emacsy browser\, you should not\nmiss this talk!\n

.\n\n**Structural editing does not have to be relegated to lisps or niche
DSLs.**\n\nI liken the state of code editing today to writing assembly. Th
e reason why\npeople like Python more than assembly is that for most purpo
ses\, the building\nblocks of the language are mismatched with our thought
process. We don't think\nin terms of registers and addresses\, we think i
n terms of variables\, functions\,\netc. So when we write and edit code\,
why do we edit in terms of deleting\,\ninserting\, replacing characters &#
x2013\; not wrapping\, inserting\, raising\,\ndeleting expressions and sta
tements?\n\nI'll also discuss the implementation of tree-edit\, which uses
a novel\ncombination of the fantastic\n[tree-sitter](https://github.com/e

cations\nLaszlo Krajnikovszkij\n\nEmacs is a great operating environment i
n a sense that it provides consistency\nacross different tools and applica
tions within the Emacs ecosystem\, as well as\nexternal apps that can be i
ntegrated into it. It is also the most truly\nmalleable environment\, each
element of which can be adjusted or extended\,\ntherefore providing the u
ser with more power and freedom in personal computing.\nEmacs definitely c
an be considered one of greatest software products in\nexistence.\n\nAs a
non-programmer\, having had the chance to stumble upon Emacs a couple of\n
years ago\, the only regret to have is that it didn't happen earlier. The
definite\nkiller feature of Emacs - Org-mode\, is what draws many of the l
ess technical\nfolks to join the party and gradually start to use Emacs fo
r writing documents\,\nwhether personal or work related\, manage tasks\, e
mails and potentially everything\nelse. The learning curve and difference
in approach\, however\, leaves some\npotential users too scared of the arc
ane interface even with all it's quirks and\nfeatures because it requires
at least some technical skills to understand and\nuse properly\, and does
not have an easy way to connect with external tools that\nmost people are
forced to use for work.\n\nThis talk proposes some ideas about how the mod
el of Emacs\, it's focus on\nconsistency\, extensibility\, as well as it's
powerful interaction model can be\ncarried over to make modern interfaces
\, whether desktop or web applications\,\nthat would be designed with a go
al of reflecting the spirit of Emacs in terms of\nthe aforementioned featu
res it possesses\, and therefore enhance the capabilities\nof the Emacs\,
while at the same time utilizing it as a backend for\ntext-processing and
editing to a large extent. It would be really great to have\na personal we
b-interface for using modern task management tools\, chats\, emails\nand s
uch\, but from a UI defined by the user. The goal is to use it on a deskto
p\nor mobile\, locally or self-hosted on a server\, with support for touch
and\ngesture-based workflows\, while preserving the Emacs philosophy and
allowing to\nseamlessly switch between Emacs and its web extension\n\nThe
proposed solution is to integrate more of the modern tools with Emacs\,\nu
tilize Org-mode as a way to define application-specific parameters for the
se\ntools through Org properties\, and then utilize these parameters for m
aking a\nmodern local frontend that would enhance Emacs UI while allowing
to use external\ntools in a more personal and freedom respecting way (maki
ng the originals\nobsolete over time). The talk serves the purpose of invi
ting community members to\na discussion about how Emacs can become more mo
dern\, more approachable by people\nwho don't possess the neccessarry tech
nical skills to adjust it themselves\, but\nare keen to learn it\, and pot
entially how to attract more users to greater\nproductivity\, computer lit
eracy and the ideas of free software.\n\n\n\n# Outline\n\n- 5-10 minutes

On occasion\, people out there add stuff to their Init file to fix this\no
r that annoyance\, or even bug. The more ambitious might go on to\npackag

that.\n\nYou should submit a patch to Emacs! Maybe more people have that

conf.org/2021/talks/test\n# Test blocks\nEduardo Ochs\n\nIn this presentat
ion I will show an idea that feels completely obvious\nonce we see it\, bu
t that only occured to me after after using Emacs\nand eev as my main inte
rface to the computer for more than 20 years.\nTake any interpreted langua
ge that supports multi-line comments\, and\nwhose interpreter can be run i
n an Emacs buffer - for example Lua\,\nHaskell\, Python\, or Julia\; let's
say just "Lua" from here on for\nsimplicity. So: suppose that we have a L
ua script that we wrote\, that\nis called "foo.lua" and that defines lots
of functions and defines the\nclasses Bar and Bletch. We can put after the
definition of the class\nBar a multi-line comment that contains an eepitc
h block that when\nexecuted starts a Lua interpreter\, loads the script fo
o.lua (by\nrunning 'dofile "foo.lua"')\, and then has several tests for th
at class\nand its methods\; and we can put another block with tests like t
hat\nafter the class Bletch\, and other blocks after some functions. Eepit
ch\nallows sending these tests line by line to the Lua interpreter by\ntyp
ing <f8\\> on each line that we want to send\, and this lets us create\nte
sts that are very easy to understand even without writing comments\;\nthis
gives us a very quick way to document code by executable tests\,\nthat is
super-great for experimental code that is still going to\nchange a lot be
fore running the risk of being read by other people.\n\nThese multi-line c
omments with eepitch blocks that run an interpreter\nand make it load the
current file are called "test blocks". The\ncommand \\`M-x eeit' inserts a
test block at point\, using the major mode\nto decide the right syntax to
use for the multi-line comments and for\nthe "dofile". We can configure t
he syntax of the test blocks for the\ncurrent major mode by running \\`M-x
find-eeit-links'\; this can also be\nused to add support for test blocks
to more languages (or\, more\nprecisely: to more major modes).\n\nEduardo

conf.org/2021/talks/bidi\n# Perso-Arabic Input Methods And BIDI Aware Apps
\nMohsen BANAN -- محسن بنان\n\nEmacs is a multilingual user environment.
A true multilingual editor must\nsupport bidirectionality and shaping of c
haracters. Perso-Arabic scripts require\nboth of these features.\n\nStarti
ng with Emacs 24\, full native bidi\n(bidirectional) support became availa
ble. For\nmany years prior to that Unicode support was\navailable and by
around year 2000\, reasonable\nopen-source shaping libraries were also ava
ilable.\n\nWith these in place at around 2012\, I developed\ntwo Persian i
nput methods for emacs. These input\nmethods or variations of them can als
o be used for\nArabic and other Perso-Arabic scripts.\n\nWith all of these
in place\, Emacs has now become\nthe ne plus ultra Libre-Halaal and Convi
vial usage\nenvironment for Perso-Arabic users.\n\nSince emacs comes loade
d with everything (Gnus\nfor email\, Bbdb for address books\, XeLaTeX mode
s\nfor typesetting\, org-mode for organization\, spell\ncheckers\, complet
ion systems\, calendar\, etc.)\, all basic\ncomputing and communication ne
eds of Perso-Arabic\nusers can be addressed in one place and\ncohesively.\
n\nIn this talk I will demonstrate what a wonderful\nenvironment that can
be.\n\nMy talk will be in two parts.\n\nIn Part 1\, I cover Persian input
methods. With an emphasis on "Banan\nMulti-Character (Reverse) Translitera
tion Persian Input Method". The\nsoftware is part of base emacs distributi
on. Full documentation is available\nat:\n\n Persian Input Metho

nIn Part 2\, I'll demonstrate that Emacs is far more than an editor. Emacs
can be\na complete Perso-Arabic usage environment. I will also cover the
ramifications\nof bidi on existing emacs applications\, including:\n\n-
Spell Checking\, Dictionaries And Completion Frameworks:\n - Existing e
macs facilities can be extended to cover Perso-Arabic.\n\n- Gnus:\n -

t is a paradigm shift that attempts to solve this\nproblem. In a gist\, th
e tool you use should let you create special tools\nto learn smartly from
what you have already.\n\nSince we use Emacs\, let's make our great editor
moldable!\n\nThis talk shows my progress in making Emacs closer to such a
tool. We\nare going to see how we can mold structured (and maybe even nat

how\nself documenting this tool is!\n\nI aim to inspire you to find a quic

Imaginary Programming (IP) is both methodology and paradigm. It is an\next
ension of literate programming and a way of creating software without\nthe
use of imperative\, functional or even declarative code. Yet IP employs\n
all disciplines to achieve the miraculous. The only contingency is on one\
nor more language models\, known as foundation models. The real value of I
P\nis not found by abandoning sound logic altogether\, but in weaving the
real\nwith the imaginary. The future of imaginary programming is one in wh
ich\nalmost all of computing is inferred. I have built a suite of tools ba
sed on\nemacs for interfacing real programming languages with imaginary on
es\; all\nof this in order to demonstrate what I mean\; a ‘complex’ termin
al that lets\nyou imagine what happens no matter how nested you are within
interpreters\,\nan example-oriented language\, a file format that encodes
the provenance of\ntext and a library for imaginary functional programmin
g primitives called\niLambda. It is important to recognise IP because\, fo
r lack of a better\nterm\, it has far-reaching implications for intellectu
al property and the\nGPL. Please keep an open mind.\n\n\n\n# Outline\n\n-
