# Emacs as Design Pattern Learning
Greta Goetz
[[!inline pages="internal(2021/info/pattern-schedule)" raw="yes"]]
How do we manage today? This presentation is for people interested in thinking about Emacs as a tool sophisticated enough to cater to the complex assemblage of tasks, people, activities/outcomes, tools (Markauskaite & Goodyear). Some software oversimplifies. Emacs both helps users implement design pattern learning that can cope with complexity while also modeling design pattern learning. By championing the opportunity for users to also be co-creators (cf. Beaty et al.), the free software design at the core and center of Emacs teaches us a way of "being" (Alexander, Gabriel) that can be extended to both the Emacs community and beyond, in a knowledge of how to live (Stiegler, Illich).
1. Definition of design patterns and relation to Emacs
2. Why this approach matters
3. Managing complexity: Emacs as mind map
4. Emacs as design pattern framework
5. Personal customization
6. Implementing Emacs as a model for learning
7. Emacs as accommodating complex social, community assemblages

# Availability and preferred Q&A approach
Due to the pandemic situation, my teaching schedule fluctuates so I
will not know my availability until much closer to the
date. Therefore, I can only guarantee delayed answer response
(whatever you request), but if available, will join live.
May I please note that I will be pre-recording my video if this submission is accepted.
