+- Hello everyone, my name is Alain and I'm going to give you a ten
+  minute introduction to Organice.  This is what we're going to do,
+  I'll give a quick introduction to me, I'll tell you all about
+  Organice, you'll get a real-time demonstration and I'll finish with
+  some closing words. So without further ado, who am I? I am the
+  co-founder and CEO of a company based in Zurick, Switzerland called
+  200OK, we are a product incubator but we also do customer
+  projects. We are very polyglot in that we like to use many
+  programming languages and technologies and we spend as much time as
+  we can on free and open source software. For the last nine years
+  I've also been a lecturer at the Zurick University of Applied
+  Sciences and I am an ordained Zen-monk and I run the ?? temple in
+  the mountains of ??. If you want to reach me please send me an email
+  at any time to <alain@200ok.ch>.
+
+- Why would you even care who I am?  So I gave that little prefix to
+  say that I dabble in quite a few different things and to be able to
+  manage it all I kind of have to be a ?tooling? nut.  And I am.
+
+- For example I even got the job interview to be a lecturer by
+  accident because I gave a talk on getting things done some nine
+  years ago and then got invited.  Which in turn means that over the
+  last fifteen years I went over great many different tools and
+  processes and since six years I have settled, I am very happy now,
+  and I spend most of my work reading, communication and writing all
+  within Emacs.  And within there Org-mode is my daily driver.  I use
+  it for everything.  For project management, time tracking, doing
+  quotes, book-keeping, controlling, giving presentations, and so much
+  more.  I am very happily commited to using Org-mode and Emacs.
+
+- Then what even is Organice?  I mean if Org-mode is so great, why
+  would we need a new tool?  Well there's two pragmatic reasons, one
+  is it's not really convenient to have a laptop and PC handy all the
+  time.  And secondly, not everyone is an Emacs user unfortunately.
+  So I would have this proposition, if you're a fan of Org-mode you
+  probably want to have access to your Org files at any point in time,
+  even if you're away from your computer.  And you still want to use
+  good collaboration tools with other people, so you still want to
+  continue using Org-mode even if they're not Emacs users.  And now
+  there is a solution for that, it's called Organice.  Organice is an
+  implementation of Org-mode without the dependency of Emacs.  It's
+  built for mobile and desktop browsers and syncs with DropBox and
+  Google Drive.
+
+- This is what it looks like. But before I show you how it works, let
+  me tell you a little bit about how we develop it.  Of course it is
+  free and open source software, it has the AGPL license, there's a
+  public code of conduct, the contributing guidelines are up there,
+  you can find the code repository documentation on GitHub.  And we
+  built it using popular front-end frameworks, mainly React and Redux,
+  we want to use the popular frameworks here because we want to enable
+  the widest range possible of contributors, and not have a lock-in to
+  a smaller niche.  So let me give you a demo.  I'll give you a demo
+  on my machine because as I said it's optimized for mobile and
+  desktop use so I can use it on my computer from the browser.  You
+  could follow along by going to <https://organice.200ok.ch>, of
+  course you can host it yourself, but you can also use our free
+  instance, and no worries, there is no back-end, it's a front-end
+  only application.  So there's no storage of any kind of data,
+  personal or not, on our servers.  We also don't use analytics, so
+  it's I would say safe to use.
+
+- ?Inception? time, let's check out some Org-mode features and
+  Organice, but before we do that, let me show you that we've actually
+  been within Emacs and in the rendering of an Org-mode file all the
+  time, so the slide is the same on the left and on the right, and
+  wouldn't it be great if we could open this right within Organice.
+  And of course we can.  Right here I am logged into
+  <https://organice.200ok.ch> so I have access to my files, it's the
+  same file, and you can see this is the demo slide that we've just
+  been on.  But let me show you some more basic and core features of
+  Emacs Org-mode.  So you're probably familiar with todos and of
+  course we support them.  You can toggle todos.  Can delete them.
+  You can see that the metadata up here is changing.  Of course you
+  can edit headers, make it a new header, edit descriptions.  There is
+  support for tags so for example, ?Louise? has some tags in here and
+  I can add all the tags that the system already knows.  I can remove
+  them.  I can create new tags.  ?Oh?, it's adapted.  We can focus and
+  drill down as the narrowing feature can, and it can go further down.
+
+- And up again.  We can of course add and remove headers, so let me
+  make a new header, or remove an old one.  We can move headers around
+  so for example here is a couple of cool things, so for example if I
+  wanted to move Emacs out and get rid of the text editors that works,
+  ?but/that? I can also for example move this further out and you can
+  see how they are attached if I bring it down or out or I can move it
+  back into again.  You might have seen that this thing is turning all
+  the time whenever I make any change because we have implicity
+  syncing, so everything is synced to my DropBox right now.
+
+- We do have undo and redo on the top of the application there is a
+  redo, sorry an undo and redo button. ?? there is support for tables,
+  we can change values within tables, ?say ch-ed?, we can add new
+  columns and rows, we can also remove them.  There is support for
+  lists and checkboxes, plain lists, ordered lists.  Checkboxes work
+  as you would think they do.  There is support for timestamps.  It
+  understands if you gave it more information like a start and end
+  time you can set repeaters and delays.  The regular things that work
+  in Org-mode timestamps.  There is support for property lists, you
+  can remove and add new properties.
+
+- There is support for planning, so you have an agenda, all the items
+  that have deadlines and schedules are visible within the agenda.
+  There's a daily agenda, weekly agenda, monthly agenda and you can
+  jump right into the todo itself.
+
+- And lastly there is ?ketchla? template support, so I have a ?ketcha?
+  template setup for this file and it will add stuff to the inbox
+  here, so when I create new stuff in here, it is put directly into
+  the inbox and synced. So let's go back into the presentation and the
+  closing words.  But before I give you the closing words, let's
+  quickly check out how the Org-file changed on my machine, because of
+  course it did, because all the synchronization happened.  For
+  example you can see that there is new stuff in the inbox, I created
+  new deadlines, I deleted some properties, and added some new ones, I
+  checked some check boxes. You can see all the things that I did are
+  there.  Quite nice.
+
+- Okay closing words, there is related work going on next to Organice,
+  right now we're using a custom parser written in JavaScript for the
+  Org-files, and it works quite fine and it has unit-tests to prove
+  it, however, we want to redo and write a parser, a proper parser in
+  BNF, and we're doing this in Closure and Closure-Script.  If you're
+  interested in this project you can check it out on our GitLab
+  instance, also free and open source software of course.  We write
+  quite frequently about Emacs and Org-mode, if you want to catch up
+  please go to our website, and lastly please check Organice out, you
+  can go to the repository if you liked the talk, please give it a
+  star.  And, go ahead and check it out on
+  <https://organice.200ok.ch>, you don't even have to log in, you can
+  just try it out.  Okay, thank you for listening, thank you for your
+  time, and have fun and enjoy using Organice and Emacs of course.
