Leo Vivier: Okay, well, thank you. I'm -in. So you've just had a little roundup of the news, and we're going -to get started now with some presentations. We're starting with user -developer stories. I was extremely interested in this section because -I wanted to get a chance, basically, to tell you a little more about -who I am and how I got from basically being a user of Emacs to being -nowadays a package maintainer, and maybe more in the future. I don't -know. - -So, just for the organizers, I'm planning to speak for 15 minutes, and -I'll have five more minutes of questions at the end. As I told you -before, if you want to have questions, you know you can use the pad, -and I'll be reading the questions from there. Okay. - -So hi there, as Amin introduced me before, my name is Leo Vivier. I'm -a freelance software engineer in France, and I have been using Emacs -now for i believe close to eight years. I can't believe it's been so -long. But yes, it's been a journey because, in a way, nothing made me -go for Emacs. You know I'm an-- sorry, I was about to say Emacs major, -but no, I'm an English major. I went to university to study English -literature and linguistics, and I just got started in Emacs because I -was looking for ways to take better notes. I was looking for ways to -[Applause] structure the way I was learning, structure the way I was -taking notes. I stumbled one day upon this weird piece of software -which was called Emacs, and I've been trapped forever since, -basically, because eight years ago, when I discovered Emacs I just -couldn't let go. There was just something very interesting about the -way you configured your setup, and I just wanted to dive deeper and -deeper. - -So the title is of this talk exactly is how I went from user to -package maintainer, and the package now that I'm maintaining is called -org-roam. I'm not the only one doing this. I'm helped with many lovely -people working on org-roam. I got started as a maintainer only this -year, so that means that for the eight years I've been an Emacs user, -seven of those years were spent merely being a user trying to be a -sponge for knowledge, trying to learn as much as I could. I believe it -would be interesting for me to share my story because I believe that -I'm far from being the only user who can make the jump to being a -maintainer. - -A lot of you have a lot of knowledge when it comes to Emacs. Some of -you are at different steps in your journey. Some of you, for instance, -are just starting to copy stuff out of StackExchange into your Emacs -configuration. let's say you want to do something very particular and -you haven't found a way to do so. You go on StackExchange. You find -something that's interesting. You add it to your Emacs configuration. -You barely understand anything that's going on. You know that it's -supposed to be Emacs Lisp. "I hardly know Emacs and I know even less -what is Lisp supposed to be." But you paste it in and it does what you -want it to do, and you say "Great, I'll move on to my work now." So -that's how I got started. I had a very spartan setup for Emacs, which -a lot of you must know... The first time you launch Emacs, you have -this feeling that you're jumping 20 years back in time, as far as the -user interface is concerned. But as you get to spend more time with -Emacs... Some would call it Stockholm syndrome insofar as you can't -see how spartan the entire thing is, but it actually is a lovely -prison so to speak. - -That's how I got started eight years ago. I just wanted to find a way -to do my research properly. I wanted to have a tool that I could use -to write my notes in plain text, because I was already fairly averse -to Microsoft solutions when it came to taking notes. So yeah, I got -started in Emacs. I read a little bit about what plain text was about. -Just to be clear, at the time, yes, I was very good with computers, -but I was not a computer science student. I had barely any experience -with programming and coding, and I was even less of a hacker back -then. It just goes to show you that at the beginning, I had close to -no knowledge, whether it be about the free software world, whether it -be about... - -Sacha, do you want to say something? (Sacha: just confirming, you're -not sharing anything on the screen at the moment, right?) No, I'm not -sharing anything, I'm just presenting. - -So when I started, I had no experience whatsoever. I was just a -literature major trying to get better at taking notes. I stumbled upon -LaTeX. As many people who stumble upon LaTeX know, you don't just -stumble upon LaTeX, you embroil yourself in the turmoil of suffering, -of late nights tweaking, so that your document is exactly in the -perfect shape you want it to be. - -Soon after, when I got started with Emacs and LaTeX, I discovered -something that truly changed my life, and it was Org Mode. As you'll -get a lot of presentations this afternoon about Org Mode, I won't be -spending too much time on it. But Org Mode, for me, was a revelation. -It's... There was something that, upon reading articles on how to use -Org Mode, especially one of the key article that I'd read which really -made a huge impact on me was the "Organize Your Life in Plain Text" -one which i'm sure many of you must have stumbled upon in your Emacs -journey... For me, when I stumbled upon this document, I was starting -to get interested in Getting Things Done and all the nitty-gritty -stuff about organization and self-organization. It just felt like -everything was under my fingertips to make the perfect workflow. There -was something incredibly satisfying about having a system that gave -you so many options to configure your experience exactly how you -wanted. You had this feeling that the people behind Org Mode had -thought of everything, whichever small adjustment that you needed in -workflow whether it be more states for your TODOs, whether it be, oh, -I want my weeks to start on Monday and not on Saturday, oh, it's half -past one and I need to... in the morning, I mean, and I need to make -sure that the item that i'm marking as done is done for the day before -and not for the current day. You see what I'm talking about. So many -details that were already present in Org Mode. At first you're really -impressed, because you think, wow, they thought of everything, but -then you realize that it's just a matter of experience, just a matter -of people contributing code, because the development of Org Mode, -Emacs, and everything is just open to the public. - -You know, it's like everything is being done with the garage -door opened. You can just go on Org Mode on Savannah and see -everything that is being developed. For me, the shift that occurred in -my mind was when I was reading all the options, I was looking at all -the variables that i could modify for Org Mode, and there came a time, -maybe two to three years ago, where I thought, oh wow, maybe for the -first time in a while, there is no option for me to do what I want to -be doing with Org Mode. I believe at the time the the key issue that -triggered this reflex for me was I wanted to do something with the -agenda. I wanted to have a super category so, you know, in the... for -those of you who know, in your agenda, you have the ability to have -many files, and you have the ability to have categories. I wanted -somehow to group my TODOs in smaller groups, or bigger groups, I -should say, so that, for instance, I could have one group for my -professional life, I could have a group for one work, the second -work... I could have something for university and all this. I thought, -yeah, I think I'd like this. After having spent so long working with -Emacs and working with Org Mode, I had some ideas about what was -within the realm of possibility and what wasn't. Here I thought to -myself, this is definitely something that I can do. And so thus -started my journey into the Org Mode libraries. - -I won't go too much into details right now, because right now, the -main objective that I have is just to show you how simple it is to -become a maintainer, how to become more involved with the development. -The libraries in Org Mode, they're written in Elisp, which is a -very... It might seem like an obscure language, and it certainly is, -but as soon as you get the logic of the language--and what i'm telling -you is coming from someone who's never studied programming-- it made -sense. Everything is so verbose when you get into the code. When you -learn the rudiments of Elisp, you start getting to the code, and you -start thinking, wow, okay that makes sense, and you start developing a -logic for all this. So, equipped as I was with this new knowledge, I -went on my project, i went into the Org agenda code, and I thought, -okay, is there anything that I can use to do my bidding? Fast forward -maybe two to three weeks of intense turmoil and many nights which were -spent single-mindedly working on this project, two weeks after, I had -something that was working, and I was pretty happy about it. That was -a key landmark for me, because when that happened, it just felt like, -okay, I can contribute something to Org Mode, and I can do something -that would benefit as many people as possible. And to me, that was the -click. That's when it occurred. That's when I went on my first project -and I did something that felt useful to the community. - -And nowadays, as I told you, I maintain packages, but really, nothing -has changed. The only thing, maybe, that has changed that I've turned -my mind onto other problems. Maybe I've got three more minutes and I'd -like to finish by maybe something a little different. - -I've told you my Emacs story and I hope I've stressed how little -effort it took me to move from steps to steps on the ladder. The -ladder implies a sense of hierarchy, but it really isn't. Whatever -your step on the journey of Emacs is... Some of you might be at the -step where you're really worried about learning Elisp because it feels -like such a monumental task to be undertaking and you have no -experience whatsoever, but the thing is, maybe you could try climbing -this first step on the ladder. Maybe you could try, if you have any -project, if you've been using Org Mode, maybe one day you thought, -"oh, yes, I wish I could do this but I can't," or maybe do try to do -this, maybe do try to change something in a major mode that you're -using and which you feel might be better. I think Emacs, Org Mode, and -all free software in general has this tendency to give you this idea -that I can be a hacker in the sense of the term that you're modifying -things to do your bidding. For me, I believe this to be a very healthy -attitude towards software. As Amin said in the very beginning, we are -doing this entire presentation-- sorry, this entire conference with -free software. Just see all the things we've been able to do in free -software. For me, Emacs was my gateway, so to speak, into how to -contribute to free software, about the philosophy that surrounds it. - -What I would like to do... I'll finish on this note and then I'll be -taking your questions. Just try. You've read on Reddit that you need -to go through the Elisp manual in Emacs. You might be scared, but just -do it. Just give it a shot. Just give it maybe one afternoon. Try to -read it. Try to see if this appeals to your mind. If you've been -interested enough in my presentation right now, and if you're -interested enough in any of the talks you're going to have during the -entire conference, do give it a shot. I'm pretty sure you will like -the journey on which you will be embarking upon. So - -I believe I'm finishing one minute early, but I see quite a bit of -questions already. I'm not sure. Sacha, should I just be reading the -questions, or do you want to be feeding me the questions? (Amin: It's -really up to you. it's completely up to you. If you've got the -questions open and can take them or read them, by all means please.) -Okay, well, I'm going to read them because I've got them on the side. -I'm going to start with the one at the bottom. - -"Do you feel that being a white male contributed to your experience?" -Yeah. I mean, I do believe... There's an idea of privilege. I mean, -I'm French. I live in... I'm lucky enough to be here at university, -okay, and I'm fairly aware of the discrepancies that happen, even in -France, according to this... So, yes, I believe my journey was heavily -influenced by this. If you would like to specify the question, please -do, but I don't have really all that much to ask on this. - -"What is your advice to start learning Elisp language? Any -particularly good resource or any other tips?" I finished um my -presentation by telling you about the Elisp introduction which is -built into Emacs. What I might do... I'm going to share my screen just -to show you how this works. I will be sharing this window. I believe -it's frozen on my end, so I can't see anything. i'm not sure if you -can see me or if my camera is moving. Okay, so my Firefox is frozen. -So i'll answer the question, but I won't be able to show you what I -wanted to show you. There's a built-in guide inside Emacs to learn -Elisp. Maybe the best chance that you have is just to go open these -info pages. I'm sure someone will be kind enough to mention this to -you in the #emacsconf channel on IRC but it's probably the best way to -get started with Elisp. You know, we tend to get obsessed, with -software and with programming, about what's the best way to get -started. You see so many people who are heavily interested in getting -started with programming but they never managed to get started because -there's so much choice. My advice would be to just get started. Don't -get so worried about the first step. Well, if I may still recommend -the first step, even after saying this, do try to start with the -built-in guides. I believe they're pretty pretty good. - -There was another question. It's the last question that I can read and -after that, you will have to read the questions for me because -everything is frozen on my end. I hope I'm not frozen in a very bad -position so please excuse me if my mouth is open or anything. (Amin: -no, we just completely lost the video feed, so no worries.) Oh, -splendid, so I won't have to make a fool out of myself. - -So the last question I wanted to answer was "Have you read Dirk -Gently's Holistic Detective Agency?" No, I haven't. I hope it's not a -jab at the way i'm dressing for the conference, but yeah, I haven't -read it. Was there any other question? - -(Amin: I see one other question. "Any recommendation for good -packaging guides or places to start? i get a bit overwhelmed by some -things. For example, the choice of different test frameworks.") Right. -Okay. So that's a very good question. I believe alphapapa is in the -chat right now. As myself a new lisp developer for org-roam, i'd -really recommend you to look into his package developers' guide -because you have a list of all the softwares that are extremely useful -to be using when you're getting started. If you're looking into a -first step for how to develop elast package, i'd really advise you to -look into edebug. It's one word, edebug, and you have a section in the -manual for this, because for me, it was the key step to getting to -develop good packages. It was understanding basically what the code -did and having us something like a REPL (read-evaluate-print-loop) -that allows you to step through the code and see exactly which states -the variables are at which at this point in the program. That's really -my biggest advice to you. Any other question? Thanks. Yeah, I -see one or two more. So there's one. - -They ask, "How did the freedom of Emacs help you on your way?" So the -freedom of Emacs... I mentioned that Emacs, for me, was my gateway -into free software and the freedom of Emacs was that you could -maybe... First and foremost, compared to other software, was that you -had behind Emacs, Elisp, which allows you to read the code, read -whatever is going on in the background. Surely, if you go deep enough, -you'll end up on C functions that you might not be able to read if you -do not have the experience. But for Org Mode, which was my gateway -into Emacs, most of it is written in Elisp, and all the commands have -a very verbose name, like something simple as org go to next subtree -or org go to a parent subtree. You know, things like this. It's so -elegant. It's verbose. That's a sense of freedom insofar as you can go -into the code and see, oh, okay, that's how it's implemented. I -believe in a way that's the freedom and the liberty that is given to -you to look into the code is something that invites you to do the same -with your life. As someone who does a little bit of philosophy on the -side, I believe it's a very healthy message to be gathering from a -piece of software. - -(Amin: Awesome, thank you. Let's see... So we have... I think I saw -another question pop up.) I'm not sure how we're doing as far as time -is concerned... I believe we have like one or two minutes more. (Amin: -Yeah, actually, we're quite a bit ahead of the schedule, so if we take -a little bit longer, we're fine. If you do have more questions, please -do.) I'm just sorry that my video is not working anymore. (Amin: No -problem. Someone was actually saying... What's the most recent... -Actually, yeah well before that. - -"Please show off your three-piece suit before you end your talk, which -requires fixing your frozen camera. if this is not possible, please -post suit selfies in an easily accessible location." Okay, I'll make -sure to do this. But yes, I wanted to hype things up for the -conference, so yes, I did get the three-piece suit out. I'm very glad -you like it. By the way when you get a chance to see me live again, do -appreciate that my tie has both the colors of Emacs purple and also -Org Mode green. It took me a while to find this one, so I hope you -will appreciate this. - -(Amin: Awesome. Let's see. We have one other question. "What's the -most recent Emacs package or tool that you've discovered that you've -added to your repertoire?") Very interesting question. The thing is, -when you've spent as long as I have on Emacs--and I know that I've -only spent eight years and some of you might have spent maybe 10, 20, -maybe even more years on Emacs-- but for me, I believe the the coolest -neat trick that I found in Emacs was a mode which is called -beacon-mode. It's something that allows you to show when you're -jumping between buffers or when you're dropping between windows, it -shows exactly where your point is in that buffer by making a slight -ray of light which looks like a beacon, hence the name. It really -helps you navigate buffers because it always shows in a very visual -way where your point is. I'll get a chance to show this to you later -today when i'll be presenting my other talks. - -(Amin: AWesome. We have one question from Jonas, the maintainer from -Magit. He asks, "When you touched your webcam, that blew a fuse at my -place. How did you do that?") Well, I'm very sorry, Jonas, that it -happened to you, but i'll make sure not to touch my webcam again. -(Amin: Do we have any other questions?) I have to trust you on this -one. I'm really sorry. Everything is frozen on my end. (Amin: No -problem.) - -Yeah I'm more talking to the audience, I guess. I hope my lack of -slides didn't bother you. I really wanted to have this verbose time -with people, to be able to... it's a message that i've been trying to -share with as many people as possible. In france we do have an Emacs -workshop that we have on a monthly basis. I've been learning a lot -with those people and I felt like doing the same with Emacs conference -would be good. That's why i'm really happy, and I'm really lucky to -have had the chance to do this today. I hope some of you I've -convinced you of climbing up a step on a ladder or making a step in a -journey. (Amin: Absolutely. Thank you so much, Leo. I happen to -completely agree with your not necessarily using a slide when it's not -really needed and to help give some face-to-face time with the -audience. Unfortunately your webcam cut out, but I mean before that.) -Yes, I'll make sure to fix the problems later on, so don't worry about -it. (Amin: Awesome. Alrighty. I guess we're wrapping up for your talk -and getting ready for the next talk.) Sure. Well, thank you so much. -I'll see you all later, I suppose! (Amin: Sounds good. Thank you -again, Leo.

I am Jonathan. In this -talk, I'm going to demonstrate ways of producing sheet music in Emacs -using Lilypond, and maybe also convince you to use Emacs for writing -your scores. I'll start with an overview of the syntax for those who -are new to using text-based notation as a shallow dive into the deep -pond of lilies and Lilypond, and move on to showcase some of its -functionalities using Org Mode and lilypond-mode. One disclaimer, -however: I am not a Lilypond developer. - -(00:40) So what is Lilypond? Lilypond is a file format and music engraving -system for producing high-quality sheet music. It translates textual -representations of music to graphical objects. It's similar to LaTeX -in that its input format describes the visual layouts of the score, -using commands to define musical expressions. Commands begin with a -backslash. For example, the formatter command, as shown on the left, -yields its graphical equivalents on the right, the fermata symbol over -the low B and so on and so forth. It's also fully extensible, like -Emacs, allowing users to extend and override Lilypond's -functionalities using the Scheme scripting language. It can be used -for early and contemporary music tablature, vocal music lead sheets, -and so on. Above all, it works with Emacs. In fact, Lilypond ships -with Emacs Lisp libraries, including a major mode for editing Lilypond -files. - -(01:47) So the input files are similar to source files. They contain -expressions formed with curly braces, comments that start with the -percent sign, and the code is indented. Notes are entered using -lowercase letters, and rests with the letter r. In this case, the -lowercase r or r4 is the equivalence of a crotchet or quarter note -rest. Durations are entered using numbers and dots after the note -name. If you do not specify one, the previous duration is used. You -can also tie notes together using the tilde symbol (~). In fact, you -can input chords, lyrics, embellishments, and a lot more. I encourage -you to read the manual for more information. Now let's switch to a -terminal window. With Lilypond installed, let's create a test file -with the extension .ly and open it in Emacs. - -(02:50) At the top of the file is the version statement, which tells Lilypond -which version to use when compiling the file. Here I'm using version -2.20.0. I've added the clef and time signature. Let's add some notes. -I'm going to close this now and compile the file by running lilypond -followed by the file name. So now let's view the output. Okay. - -(03:27) So here's a more complex example for randomizing note sequences. The -idea is to create new reading materials each time the code blocks are -evaluated. As usual, we begin with a header. I've added the title and -composer. Then we add the note sequences to use in the composition. In -this case, sn is a note name just like a b c d and so on, and stands -for snare drum, the percussion instruments. Now here's a function -that's going to shuffle the notes in the table. Finally, we expand the -notes inside the Lilypond source block. So whatever the function -returns is expanded inside the drums block. Now let's press C-c C-c to -view the results. Okay. And if I run this again, it should create a -new composition. Great. You can also audition a piece using the midi -command, which creates a midi file of the score. - -(04:34) Note also that the ob library-- sorry, the ob-lilypond library comes -with two modes. The one I'm using now is called arrange mode and is -useful for assembling complete scores. The basic mode on the other -hand allows you to mix text and music by embedding Lilypond snippets -and export them using typical Org Mode commands. - -(05:00) Now to demonstrate the basic mode in action. I'm going to export this -document to a PDF file. In this case, the :file header argument is -required, so you have to provide one and include the file name. Again, -you can run the code and view the results. Here it is. So now let's -export this to a PDF file. And here it is, what it generates. - -(05:39) Now I'm going to show you the workflow I used to produce music books -in Emacs, combining Lilypond and LaTeX for a perfect marriage. I begin -by sketching the first draft of the manuscript using pencil and paper. -Then I move to Emacs to input the notes in a git repository. This is a -typical source file. It begins with a stylesheet where I set variables -and layout settings, although in general, there's no need for tweaking -the layout unless you have specific requirements to do so. The easiest -way to compile the file from Emacs is by pressing C-c C-l, so let's do -this now, and the compilation buffer will tell you if there were any -errors in the file. Now to automate the process of compiling several -files and building the PDF, I use GNU Make, so all I have to do is -open the shell and run the make command. Don't worry, I'll provide a -link to the source code on the last slide. - -(06:41) As I moved forward with the project, I found at least two things -missing. One, I had no access to a metronome, at least not from the -editor, so I built one for casual use and made it available in the -MELPA repository. I also missed bar numbers in the source file. This -is useful when going back and forth between input and output files -without getting lost. So I wrote a command for toggling bar numbers, -which I hope you can see on the left. Also, some expressions are -difficult or slow to write on the keyboard-- accents and tuplets, for -example--so I use template expansion extensively for this purpose, -mainly yasnippet. - -(07:23) So what do I think? Well, I think Lilypond can be a -sharp paradigm shift for people used to GUI alternatives, but the -results are impressive. You don't have to dive too deeply to start -using Lilypond. Likewise, the ability to extend the software, I think, -is especially appealing for music professionals, enthusiasts, -composers, and the academic community: for example, allowing users to -create alternative notation systems required in non-Western music -traditions and other non-conventional requirements. Also, Lilypond and -Emacs both have extensive and well-written manuals and active -communities of users. But if you're still not sure where to start and -when to wedge your feet in the deep but warm pond of lilies, Lilypond, -and Lilypond users, I invite you to contribute to my Lilypond -projects, which you can do so from the links on the screen. So, thank -you all. I look forward to your comments, and I hope you enjoy the -rest of the conference. - -<!-- /transcript --> +[[!template new="1" text="Hello, everyone, and welcome to the EmacsConf." start="00:00:02.000" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="I am Jonathan.

This is my talk titled Bard -Bivou(m)acs: Publishing Music with Emacs. I'm a software developer -with Unabridged Software in Lincoln, Nebraska. Long time Emacs user, -relatively new Emacs hacker. Hopefully, I'll be able to show you my -workflow, with how I publish music with Emacs. All right. - -(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">00:30</a>) -So as a musician, I would like to publish my music online. I could -publish with popular online music services, but I'm more of a -DIY-type, so I chose to go ahead and publish with Emacs. What's the -motivation behind this? A lot of it comes down to some fundamental -freedoms that Emacs and GNU software represent to me, as well as my -ideas on culture and my background. I don't believe that music is a -consumer good. It's a form of knowledge, like an algorithm. And it's -just such a part of culture, like in tribal cultures, music was seen -as a gift from the cosmos or the gods. It was a gift maybe through an -individual vessel, but was shared with the people and shared with -everyone, kept alive by the culture itself. So to me, music is -something that should be shared and should be freely enjoyed by -everyone. Of course, artists should be compensated as well, but that's -a whole different topic. - -(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link" data-timestamp="99">01:39</a>) -So when I want to share my music, I want to do it without -impacting anyone's freedom. Using GNU software like Emacs is a good -way that I can ensure that I won't be requiring people to sign away -their freedoms for anything. There's a lot more I could say about this -but I don't have time. Feel free to reach out to me by email or IRC. -Part of the motivation for me, personally, is that Emacs is super -magical. It's an all-in-one solution. Like I said, the GNU software -aligns with Creative Commons' ideas. I can do file management. I can -author HTML, all the web stuff I need even, literate-style. I can -handle media and metadata. I've got version control, remote server -access... All the tools I need are right under my fingertips with this -tool that I use every day for a long time. I don't need to look -elsewhere. - -(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">02:31</a>) -It was a challenge. I wanted to see if I could do this all -within Emacs itself. So, how do you use Emacs to publish music? Well, -for me, I needed a couple of things. I needed to be able to audition -and label unlabeled audio tracks. I have a lot of files that I don't -know where they came from. I don't know what they are. I need to be -able to listen to them, and I need to be able to add metadata to -whatever audio format it is and rename the files based on that -metadata, potentially. And in the end, I wanted to take those files -and programmatically produce a web page for people to consume. - -(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">03:08</a>) -I found out that Emacs scores a hundred percent on all of -these requirements that I had for this, and a lot of that came from -EMMS, the Emacs multimedia system. EMMS is great. If you haven't -checked it out, please do. It's a little bit unintuitive, but once you -get into it, you know it works. Basically, what EMMS gave me was the -ability to listen to the tracks, organize playlists. On top of that, -it gave me super-powered metadata authoring. - -(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">03:42</a>) -I'm going to demonstrate that to you. So in order to do this, -you have to require markable playlists, so (require 'emms-mark). I'm -going to go through, and I'm going to open the red... I've got this. -These files here. So you can see these files are mp3s. They're -recorded on a digital recorder. If I had the choice, I would have a -recorder that used a different format, but so be it. I can mark all -these files and I can do EMMS add to .., and now they've been loaded -into a playlist. So you can see the playlist here. There's some -leftover files. - -(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">04:30</a>) -So I've got these three files in my playlist, and as -you can see, it's just the file name, the path. I don't have any -metadata associated with them. In this playlist, I can hit E, and -it'll bring up a buffer showing the tag information that I have. I -could edit these here. I could edit them one at a time, but that's not -really great. I want superpower metadata authoring. So, by marking -them, I can then hit E, and I have all three of the tracks loaded up -in this tags buffer. On top of that, I can do EMMS tag editor, set -all, C-c C-r, and I want to set the artist. so these are some -recordings of my family. So, Shangreaux, set all three of them. I want -to set the album: Spring Walk with Lap Harp. I want to set the year. -And then I'm going to go ahead and put these in manually, but with the -power of Emacs keyboard macros and registers and so on. I could do -this programmatically as well, which would make it a lot easier if I -had much more than three files to do this with. Submit the changes -with C-c C-c, and now we've got the playlist. You can see the artist -and track number have been updated here. - -(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">6:15</a>) -And then the final piece of this is that if you look at this, -you can see that the file name is still the same. So if I were looking -at the directory, I would still have this file name. When packaging -these up for a release, for people to download, it's nice to be able -to have that filename reflect the track number and the artist and so -on. So there's another command, EMMS rename tag editor, rename, so it -could be just capital R. I think I need to mark all of these, hit -capital R, and then it's going to ask me to confirm and say yes to all -of them. And now, if you look in the-- whoops I have to update -it--you'll see it's been updated with the artist, track number and -track name. This format is a format string, so it's customizable of -course. I just decided to go with the default. - -(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">7:21</a>) -So that's pretty great, this workflow just with EMMS. I didn't -have to do anything. This is all there. It's all built in. It gave me -exactly what I was looking for in terms of being able to process a lot -of raw audio files add metadata to them and get them ready for -publishing. And this is for publishing for playback in any media -player. It'll be useful. Not just for the web page that I'm building. - -(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">7:48</a>) -So the final part, of course, is to build the web page. Emacs -makes authoring HTML trivial. As I was going through this, I wanted to -challenge myself and just be, like, can I do this just all with Emacs? -Can I just make this? I don't need a... I don't need Ruby. I don't -need Rails. I don't need Node. I don't need any of this other stuff. I -have my tool right here. It's a fully... It's a whole operating -system, basically, plus programming languages. So the first thing I -started with was buffer scripting for manipulating text. That's kind -of the easiest way to do it. Basically, anything you can do in a -buffer, you can do programmatically with Elisp. So this might be a -good example for beginners. If you haven't done any Elisp yet, a -simple example is to create this this div output here. You can use -this with-temp-buffer, so basically creating an imaginary buffer. -insert is just like typing, so you put strings in, you put new lines -in, you can build some strings together. Here you can see I'm doing a -random number, so every time I execute this, my content change. I -can generate dynamic content in HTML blocks with Elisp. - -(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">9:04</a>) -For my web page builder, It's a little more complex. I'm -pulling data out using EMMS data structures, so it's pulling that out -from the track data. And then I'm using some program to generate list -elements, so each track is going to have the title and track number, -and then a button for playing it, plus the source of the audio file, -which will get added here. Right now, this is hard coded for Opus, so -it won't work for my MP3s. I'm going to skip over snippets. Turns out -format strings were good enough for me. Snippets could be useful, but -format is super powerful, and I didn't really even need all that much -power, basically, just doing string interpolation. So if you haven't -seen format before, you basically put these control strings or control -characters inside of a string, and you can generate an output string -that you want. So in my generator code, basically, it's down here, I'm -calling format with this Bard Bivou(m)acs template, and that's -basically a big a big string of HTML. It's just my whole page of HTML -with those control characters in just four places. One of them -populates the track list. That's really the meat of the program. -Again, this is a combination of using buffer scripting, using HTML -mode, inserting text format strings, and then I can indent-region so -the HTML actually looks pretty when it comes out of it as well. I will -show that, just really quick actually. So you can see, this is the -HTML that got generated. I've got my template. I inserted the title -here, the style, the font was all inserted, and then this whole list -of of tracks here. It's kind of messy to look at, but this track list, -this whole div here, is all generated by my generator code, and it -works. It's great. Okay, moving on. - -(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">11:27</a>) -So the other thing was that as I was developing this, I -decided to use Org Babel and some of his its features for -multi-language things because I needed to style it with CSS and and -put actions in Javascript, and also I used SVG for authoring stuff. It -was a little bit complicated. It probably would have been simpler had -I not used Org Babel, but it's also really fun. I think it's a cool, -cool idea to use literate programming. My idea was to create HTML -components. I could name it like this, put a format string inside it, -and build a function in Elisp to format it and spit out the HTML that -I want. By doing this, then, I can just change things in my Org file -which, not getting a whole lot of time to work on it, I can come back -to it and I have a lot of notes. I can kind of generate things as I'm -going and keep notes for myself, and keep the... I don't know. It's -cool. Literate programming is fun. So I don't need to go into that too -much, but you can see if I execute this here, I get the the div that I -want. It's a little bit funny. You'll see I have the string like this, -the way that noweb expands, I can't do this on a single line. It looks -funny when you do that, so that might be something to work out later. -CSS blocks can either be tangled out and referenced in the HTML source -or inlined. Here's an example I have of inlining it. So I've got my -little CSS block named style, Javascript named script, and then I've -got this HTML source block with noweb expansion. These double angle -brackets here are where I'm going to expand the block named style. I'm -actually calling a function, so I want the result of the function -here, and then the script will just get expanded here. So -org-babel-expand-src-block, you can see what it looks like. I've got -my style here. I've got my title. I've got that main content class I -showed before, and the script as well. So that's kind of cool. I could -just run org-babel-tangle and get my thing out and just edit one file -instead of multiple files. Not for everyone, but I thought it was kind -of fun. All right. - -(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">13:45</a>) -Oh, and the final thing is that in Emacs, you can author and -view SVG. So this is just an Org. This SVG, I used to make the play -and pause buttons. I didn't know this, but if you edit an SVG file, -you can toggle back and forth between the code and the image. It's -pretty sweet. So I can iteratively work through this because of how -Emacs is. - -(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">14:20</a>) -Final considerations here, like when doing this, I want it to -be all free, so I want to use fonts that use a free license. I found -GNU Unifont. It's kind of cool. The content license... I chose -Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike, which is kind of like the -GPL. Ideally, I could serve it with Emacs. I'd like to remove -idiosyncrasy so other people can use it. It's pretty much just my tool -right now. Not requiring the web browser... I can ship playlists so -that you can just click or link to a playlist on your favorite player, -even EMMS if you want, and then packing up those albums in like a ZIP -or .tar file. - -(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">15:04</a>) -So you can go to churls.world . It just has a link to this -album. I'll display it here in just a second. You can contact me. I'm -shoshin on #emacs in IRC and on sourcehut. You can email me -grant@churls.world, personal, or grant@unabridgedsoftware.com. All -right, now. Let's see about this... This is up online, so if you want -to listen to my college band's album from 20 years ago, here it is: -Casiopeia Basement Days. Whoops. I made this art in Krita. You can -press play. You can skip around. I do have the playlist up here too. -So yeah, thanks for listening. I hope you enjoyed it, and enjoy the -rest of EmacsConf.

Good question. In -one version of my talk, I spent too long explaining it, and decided to -cut it out. It's basically a bad pun on band camp. A bivouac--I don't -even know if I'm pronouncing that correctly--it's like a tent or a -camp that you put up hastily, and a bard is a musician, of course. -Yeah, I don't know. I like puns. I'm a dad. That's the best I could -come up with. I'll probably find a different name for it but I liked -that "bivoaucs," if you stick an m in there, it becomes Bivou(m)acs. -It's kind of like editor macros for generating some HTML. Yes, it is -confusing, chatting on IRC at the same time. Great question. (Amin: -Grant, so right now, you're sharing your screen. Are you planning on -showing something with it, or for example, should I maximize you?) I -don't know. I can turn it off for now. Okay. (Amin: You can turn on -the webcam.) Yeah, okay. (Amin: I'll maximize your webcam.) Okay, -thanks. I'll get to the answer for my color theme here in a bit in -IRC. - -(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">1:31</a>) -Next question on the Etherpad, does this metadata workflow also -support unsynchronized lyrics within ID3 tags, multi-line metadata? I -don't know, actually. It's funny because I was trying out different -things with metadata, and really the biggest thing was to figure out -how to do mass tag editing. And that was like... It wasn't very -intuitive, like I said, with EMMS. I think EMMS is really great, but -its interface is huge. like if you do M-x and type emms, you get I -don't know, 270-some candidates. There's a lot of functions going on. -I basically found the features that I needed to get this workflow -working. I would guess that you probably can do it, and if you don't, -if you can't do it out of the box, I think you could script EMMS to do -that. I'd like to know more, and I'm certainly going to be -investigating it. I will try and post my findings somewhere online. - -(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">2:39</a>) -Is it possible to import batch metadata? I'm not sure. I would -guess yes is the answer. EMMS can connect to metadata services. I -haven't done that because I was just using audio files that I created -myself. I know that on the back end, it calls out to shell programs -for tagging things. there's a lot of different options that can shell -out too. I was using the the vorbis tools to tag the particular files -I was working with. You can also use tiny tag, and there's some -other... That might be the python library. I can't remember. There's -two other libraries that I can shell out to for doing metadata. - -(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">3:24</a>) -My current workflow for tagging music is to first apply replay -gain in fubar 2000, fix egregious mistakes, use beats to apply -metadata from music brains, or discogs, go over remaining albums with -fubar 2000 again. Is there a chance textual tagging could allow doing -it all in one program? Have I experimented with mass tag update -queries? I have not. Again, I was just doing this workflow, taking raw -files with no tags and doing that. I believe because it calls out to -the programs in the back end, I'm sure you could work that out. I -think EMMS would benefit from having something like that because we -work with text, and being able to use Emacs as a front end for those -updates would be really fantastic. So really, it's just a matter of -writing the interface to the external tool. - -(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">4:22</a>) -Is there a link to some info expanding philosophy of how to -compensate musicians? No, I don't really have a lot of philosophy -around that. I guess the first thing I could say would be something -like a universal income. I feel like that would solve a lot of -problems, if musicians could just be musicians and not have to worry -about their pay. I will think about it more. This is one of my first -forays into getting public with some of these ideas, so I will try to -do more and let the community know. - -(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">4:54</a>) -What Emacs theme am I using? Can't remember. It's one of the -Kaolin themes. I think it was Aurora or or Bubble Gum, maybe, but the -Kaolin themes are nice. I recommend them. Not using Doom Emacs, Doom -mode line though. It's very pretty. - -(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">5:17</a>) -SVG support built into Emacs? I'm using Emacs 27.1, and yes, -SVG support is built in. I may have had to compile it with some Cairo -support. I don't remember for sure. But yes, you can even take -screenshots of your Emacs from within Emacs in SVG. It's pretty great. -I don't know how much more time we have left for questions. That's -most of the things on the etherpad. (Amin: I think we have like 10 -more minutes to catch up with the schedule. If there are more -questions, feel free to answer them.) I'll start looking through IRC. -(Amin: And keep an eye on the pad too.) Thank you all for listening -and for enjoying the talk. I'm glad it turned out well. Awesome. Yeah, -it's been fun so far. How did I manage? I can post a snippet of that, -or actually I can share my screen, can't I... Okay. I actually have it -up right here. - -(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">6:49</a>) -So I think I got this from alphapapa, to be honest. I define -screenshot-svg. It's an interactive command. Oh yeah, there's -alphae.papa Okay, there we go. I would like to change this so that I -can get it into the copy-paste buffer so I don't have to copy the file -in, but I haven't really hacked on it yet. - -(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">7:20</a>) -Okay, org heading colors. That might be a good question. I know, the -presentation... Sorry, it's hard to think and type at the same time. -Think and talk and type. - -(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">7:41</a>) -So the presentation is just a normal org file, right, so I have my -headers, and the author--you can even stick your email and other -headers in there. But there's a package called org-tree-slide. Whoops, -why is it not... I must have not required it. Good question. (Amin: -Grant, can you try sharing your screen maybe?) Oh, is it not shared? -I'm sorry. (Amin: Thank you.) There we go, should be coming up. (Amin: -It's coming up. Yep, we see it.) Awesome. All right. Okay. I don't -know why this isn't working. It was working. Okay, you want to see the -screenshot. Whoops. Okay, I just took a screenshot. So, org-tree-slide. -I don't know why it's not launching. I thought that I had required it, -but I must not have. Maybe I'll try. Okay. So there we go. So -org-tree-slide is a way that basically uses narrowing and some kind of -font tricks to... it changes your titles or your metadata into this -banner for the title here, and it automatically sets the faces for -you. You can customize that, of course. And then, as you go through -the Org file, you get these kind of nice animations and-- what's it -called--breadcrumbs up at the top. So org-tree-slide. I highly -recommend it. It's really nice because you can give your presentation -and practice it, and while you're practicing it, you can edit things -as well, because it's still just an Org document using narrowing, you -know. It doesn't actually change anything. Definitely recommend -org-tree-slide mode. Okay, let's see, what else... - -(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">10:29</a>) -Share my screen to demo. Oh, that's the SVG. Let's see. Okay, so I -don't know if you can see this now, but I'm actually viewing the SVG -screenshot that I took with Emacs. See here's the source of it. So -Emacs made that. And here's the image. It's cool because you can even -do it again and again, and open more screenshots of screenshots. Yeah, -definitely Emacsception. Fun stuff. Anything else in chat? Heading -colors? Oh, yeah. I talked about the themes. This is another Kaolin -theme. I think the one in the talk was maybe this one, Aurora. Oh, -here, there's something funny when you start org-tree-slide with a -different theme. This top header bar gets the faces from that previous -theme. I have not figured out how to fix that yet. Did I have to -compile to get the screenshot? I think maybe I did. Yes, if I'm -remembering correctly. I got Emacs 27. I'm not on a Mac. I saw -alphapapa's comment on reddit, and then I recompiled it with Cairo -support. Yes. - -(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">12:18</a>) -Okay, lots of good conversation on here. Yep, I have like one or two -more minutes. Okay I guess while I'm here, I might as well say thank -you to the organizers. I really appreciate everybody's work on this. -It's fun to be a part of this community. I'm enjoying the other talks -I've seen so far today, and I'm looking forward to to the rest. It's -really interesting, just from being on Emacs in IRC for a few months, -I've already connected with a lot of interesting people and have a lot -of cool connections already. (Amin: Thank you for being a part of the -community, Grant.) That's good to be here. I have another talk -tomorrow as well. Oh, thanks for everyone in the Etherpad for putting -more comments on these questions here and taking the notes. (Amin: I -think that's about all the time that we have for the Q&A. Okay. Thank -you again so much, Grant, for your awesome talk and for popping in for -questions.) Yeah, thanks again for hosting. See you later.

Please -don't hesitate to [mailto:corwin@bru.st](ask for clarification) or to -add any clarifications you feel helpful back into the EmacsConf wiki. - There is a visual gimmick underlaying the initial remarks. We are looking at the first (first-slide ("Welcome") showing how the org markdown looks on other editors, including cygwin emacs, Notepad++, Sublime, VS Code, and cygwin vim. As each is closed we see the next, until we reveal GUI Emacs running org-mode in a full-both frame. -My name is Corwin Brust and I will be talking about getting started -with Emacs Today. I have been an Emacs user for a long time- - -First of all thanks and a huge welcome to the conference..(_15s_) - -On behalf of and back to the other organizers. It has been cool to -have a peek backstage. - -So. I've used a lot of different editors in my time. That's about 25 -years as a professional software engineer. And most of that -time I've been using Emacs. (~54s_) - -I'll talk a little bit in a minute (if I can ever find my slides) -about how I got into Emacs, but if you've used Emacs and a lot of -other editors for a long time, something that you notice right away is -that you get good with it in a way that stays meaningful. You learn -new things, those things stick with you. You learn how to- how to -make it do new tricks and then keep doing those tricks. (~1m26s_) - -I want to mention this conference isn't about (whoops: "this talk") -how to adjust your configuration specifically. I don't have a bunch -of good code samples in here. There are a bunch of other great talks, -especially Andrew's that I think may be aimed more at that "hey, I'm -just getting started with Emacs what are some things to try to make it -more comfortable for me starting?" [subject/audience? cezb]. (~2m07s_) - -This is about how to think about the problem space more. (_2m10s_) - -Hopefully a good way to warm up as we start thinking about some of the -lightning talks later on. (I'm going to bring up my IRC buffer -[offscreen] in case I run into time- I didn't get my stopwatch started -for this one.) (_2m25s_) - -So, alright: let's dive in. (_2m30s_) - -We assume that we want to install packages, and maybe configure some -features. This is particularly from the perspective of where we're -working with a bunch of others on a team and we want to get something -done. (_2m42s_) - -Some of us probably have mature Emacs workflows, others may be -installing it for the first time. (_2m50s_) - -So the first questions is, you know- in that context: what's the value -proposition? Why should I mess with my machine, my mature Emacs -configuration, impose my way of thinking and ideas over the way -somebody else is learning Emacs? (_3m09m_) - -It can be [laugh] I'm off my slides here a little bit.. (_3m13s_) - -It can be a little tricky to learn Emacs. One thing that helps us a -lot is if people that we are working with can tell us, kinda, -keystroke-for-keystroke at times what to do and explain what -everything is doing. (_3m30s_) - -And using the same packages as others can really help us working -together on a project. (_3m36s_) - -Speaking from my personal experience, it took me decades to get to the -point where I was excited to program in Emacs Lisp. (_3m26s_) - -I've programed in a lot of programming languages, but Lisp wasn't on -my list. I looked at my config, that I was copy-pasting around from -generation after generation of .emacs file or re-crafting it by hand -and from Internet searches, to get things that I needed when I would -quickly go install Emacs to start some new job or contract, and -quickly get though that work-flow that caused me to go install the -program. (_4m15s_) - -You know, just simple little one-liners that got committed to memory -over decades eventually just lead [me] to a sort of "hey, what's going -on here". (_4m27s_) - -And I credit my good friend Jeff Goff who died earlier in 2020 for my -lifelong love of Emacs. Perhaps Erik and I will talk a little more -about that at another talk we have scheduled but Jeff was a huge -influence on us in a number of ways and a huge contributer to the Raku -programming language which is very cool. (_4m52s_) - -So, understanding how to make a good decision about splitting up -configuration in a way to share it with people with really different -uses of Emacs. That's actually a complicated topic, and I want to off -and stare at it for a second: (_5m11s_) - -I think Emacs is about people, so that means it is about community. -And community means we're going to invite disagreement. In fact that -disagreement isn't necessarily a road-block to our project, in fact -that some of the work our project can invite us to do is to get closer -to each other by inviting those disagreements, by learning from people -of different styles, and from how they argue, and thinking about why -they have that perspective and what technical benefits that perhaps -radical point of view might carry away. Some people are really -aggressive arguers others are very passive and really couch their -ideas in distancing terms, "well probably this is a good idea" or -"please double check me". Those don't always indicate how certain a -person is. Because we're different. We have different ways of -communicating ideas such as certainty or excitement. (_6m23s_) - -When we thinking about a bunch of really diverse programmers -approaching Emacs probably one of our first really big challenges is -just to pick what we're going to go after. There are a number of -existing kit installs and things like this. My argument is that you -can get pretty far just trading files around. And maybe the more -value conversation to have is making the hard decisions, e.g. "should -we have vertical completion", should that be out of the box and those -that want the traditional splayed-out over a sing line such as the -mode line will have to add a line to their configuration. (_7m26s) - -The way to get there? - -How do we find out what works? - -We don't want to slow down the people who are super productive with -Emacs, and ask them to completely break their workflows to make it -easier for new folks, at the same time we do want to make sure those -new people. (_7m42s_) - -At the same time, we do want to make sure those new people arre -excited by Emacs and not turned off by having to learn the entire -jungle of Emacs history in the form of it's unique technical stylings -in terms of frames, buffers, and other unique Emacs viewpoints on -interface concepts, especially. (_8m15s_) - -The encouragement here is to keep using the project team as a -crucible. Rather than following the defaults of, um, finding the -simplest customizations that generally work, what if we tried to look -for fairly specific configuration that we'll expect basically all of -our developers to be using, at least when the submit bug -reports. (_8m48s_) - -In particular with this, I think that degree of experimentation can -drive back into the Emacs development process. In the development -mailing list.. [] In the context of Emacs development as a greater -entity, we see this struggle. We have the sense that some things can -"never" be change. I think one thing that can help us get there is -evidence that says "hey, my 30-40 person team is using this set of -bindings and here is what we learned about new Emacs users coming in -and trying that". (10m) - -So let's just recap real quick: in theory Emacs works out of the -box. That means we are free to throw it all away and start over. -[trouble with slides, again] - -Our goal is to enable users- to unlock our computers, to do as much -with them as possible. My work of encouragement is experiment with it. -And think really specifically about how the development users may be -different from each other, as you are configuring the development -environment of emacs for developing on a project. - -That's my talk, etc, answer any questions.(_12m09s_) - -Do you use Emacs as a Community Building Tool? (_13m15s_) - -Do /i/ use Emacs a community building tool? Or *how* do I use Emacs as a -community building tool. [amin: "it doesn't say"] - -Yes, absolutely. I think Emacs is an ambassador to the gnu -tool-chain. in the fullness of time we will see an Emacs that will -make others, Android and iOS, dream. That's why that mock us and say -that Emacs is an operating system. It's because it could be, if cared -for it to be. It's quite a threatening product in terms of the number -of problem spaces it can address, how many types of users it can -satisfy. (_13m01s_) - -And the things that we can do to make it robust in those environments. -We're always thinking about the weak points but is Emacs a community -building tool? Heck yeah. (_13m13s_) - -[we agree that I'll write my answers to the remaining questions, I say -thanks more, and we're done. ps, I'll get to your question or -comments I can find a response to within the next week, I expect] +[[!template new="1" text="My name is Corwin Brust" start="00:00:00.399" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="and I will be talking about getting started with Emacs today." start="00:00:02.683" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="I have been an Emacs user for a long time." start="00:00:08.960" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template new="1" text="First of all, thanks and a huge welcome to the conference" start="00:00:11.448" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="from me and and on behalf" start="00:00:15.360" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="and back to the other people" start="00:00:22.400" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="that have been helping to organize." start="00:00:24.368" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="It's been amazing just to be involved" start="00:00:26.080" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="with that and just, kind of, see backstage." start="00:00:30.480" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template new="1" text="I've used a lot of different editors in my time." start="00:00:36.399" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="That's about 25 years as a professional software engineer." start="00:00:42.281" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="And most of that time I've been using Emacs." start="00:00:52.399" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template new="1" text="I'll talk a little bit in a minute" start="00:00:54.247" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="(if I can ever find my slides)" start="00:00:56.160" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="about how I got into Emacs," start="00:01:00.960" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="but I think if you've used Emacs and a" start="00:01:04.479" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="lot of other editors for a long time," start="00:01:07.200" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="something that you notice right away" start="00:01:10.240" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="is that you get good with it in a way that stays meaningful." start="00:01:14.410" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="You learn new things.

I'm Zachary Kanfer, and this is waving at repetitive +repetitive repetitive music. Over quarantine, I've been bored, and I +found this Android app that has a bunch of mini-games, one of which +lets you compose music. And it works, but I want a little bit more +functionality than it offers, it's not very flexible. So, I thought +what if I made this, and what programs could I make this in that are +really flexible, are really customizable. Emacs. So, I looked into +it, and Emacs can play sounds, right? If you hit control g a couple of +times, you'll hear like an error tone, and it turns out that, that is +actually playing a WAVE file, but what's a WAVE file? + +(00:58) Well, it turns out that WAVE is a musical file format, or +really an annoying file format. So, data in it can be an unsigned +integer or a signed integer, it's not consistent, and it's +little-endian by default which is not the way I like to think about +it. Now, you can set a WAVE file to be big-endian, but if you do +that, Emacs can't play it. So, little-endian it is. There's also +duplicate data fields. Here are some fields that are fine, but then +there's a fourth field that's calculated based on multiplying two of +the other ones together, and then there's another data field that's… +you multiply those three ones together. So, it's just repetitive and +unnecessary, but you have to do it, or it's not a valid WAVE file. +Also, the last part of the file is described as data or as one website +I found said, the actual sound data. + +(02:04) Now, I don't know about you but when I see that, I think, what +is data? It turns out that sound is just a wave, and the data is just +a bunch of measurements of the height of that wave forming each +sample. So, this wave starts at 8 goes 9, 11, 13, 14, 15, and then +back down. If you just take those measurements, those numbers, put +them in a file, that's all your data is. + +(02:35) All right. Let's go to a demo of my program. So, this is what +zmusic looks like. The blue highlighted row is a single beat, there's +16 of them in this zmusic file, and each dash in the row is a single +note increasing…, starting really low all the way on the left and +going up as we go to the right. So, if we started playing, we won't +hear anything, but we'll see the highlighted beat is the currently +playing one, and we see that it loops. So, we can stop it, and now we +can click to add some notes. [Music] Even more than one note at the +same time works. [Music] And we can even add notes while it's +playing. [Music] + +(04:08) Okay, here are some other features that I didn't have time to +demo. So, you can save the music to a file, and this is interesting +because normally if there's no note in a beat, we just don't play that +beat, but if you're writing to a file you have to put something in, so +when it's playing it knows to not make a sound there. We can also use +different scales. We're using the minor pentatonic in the demo, but +you can use the major scale the minor scale or anything else. And +there's also keyboard support, but it sounds really bad, and I'll +explain why later. + +(04:48) Here are some things I learned while writing zmusic. Emacs +has buttons which are great as long as you don't put two of them right +next to each other. So, if you do that, mousing over one of them +highlights both of them. Now, that's because a button is really just +a series of characters with a text property to highlight them. So, +the fix is, you put another character between the two buttons, then +mousing over one of them only highlights the one you want, but even +this doesn't work really great for zmusic, because zmusic has a lot of +very small buttons in a row. So, it's really easy to accidentally put +your cursor over the space and click on that instead of the button. +So, I looked into unicode, and I found this character called a +zero-width space. So, we should be able to put that between buttons +and not be able to accidentally click on it. Unfortunately, a +zero-width space isn't actually zero width. If we put a hundred of +them between two other characters, you can see there's space there, +and I think what's happening is, the space is zero width but then +Emacs `put` uses one pixel between each pair of characters for the +cursor, so it's almost zero width. Some ways to play sound that don't +quite work! `play-sound` plays music, but it blocks, you can't do +things like, set other notes or even pause the music. And if you +throw it into async.el, it's silent, and I don't know why. So, the +solution I went with is taking that WAVE file, ran into the file +system, and then shelling out to a native executable to play the +sound. And that works fine as long as you only do it once, because if +you do it a couple of times at the same time like if you have a chord, +and you want to play three notes simultaneously, you get this weird +interference, and that's actually why the keyboard from before didn't +work. Also, side effects have this unexpected impact, when you saw +the demo it was running pretty smoothly, but if I just add one message +statement every beat for debugging purposes, I was getting lag and +jitter. + +(07:03) Here's the one thing I learned about music theory, music +theory is not easy to program. I was looking around to see what +concepts we can use to code the scales, to code the notes, the first +thing that I saw is scale degrees, and this when I looked into it, you +don't want to program in scale degrees. So, you see we have the +first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh but then it wraps +around. That octave up is also a first, and that's because both of +those notes are C, so that didn't work, and also you couldn't really +easily specify a flat or sharp. You could say a sharp third or you +know, a flat seventh or whatever, but then you kind of have these two +pieces of data that indicate the note, and I didn't love that. + +(07:55) So, I looked again, and I found intervals, and then I thought +about it, and you don't really want to program in intervals either. +It fixes some of the problems with scale degrees, you see, all the way +on the right you have an octave, so you wrap to 8, and you go 9, 10 +and that works. But you solve the same problem, you see you have a +major third but below we also have a minor third, so you saw that +problem of having two pieces of information. + +(08:20) So, I thought about it. Music is really frequencies. Like an A +is 440 hertz. So, at a low level that's what we're going to do, we're +just going to use frequencies. And then at the one level above that, +that's a little bit easier for humans to think about, we're going to +use semitones up from the root, which is kind of like scale degrees, +but instead of just counting each note as one more, we're going to say +how many semitones up it is. So, if there's a sharp between two +notes, that's going to be two steps up instead of just one. And then +we translate those two frequencies, so your A is 440 hertz, another +note might be 613.5, or whatever, and that's we use the low level to +play. + +(09:02) Some future work I have, I want to add some drums. I want to +make that keyboard actually work, and computers and synthesizers are +the only place you hear a pure sine wave like the one we have here, so +I want to add overtones or other octaves above it just to make it +sound a little bit more realistic. I've put notes references and the +source code up at <https://zck.org/emacsconf2020> [updated]. I'm one +of the organizers of EmacsNYC check that out. And if you take a look +or have any thoughts, I'd love to hear them, and thanks so much for +coming to my talk. + +<!-- /transcript --> + + +<!-- transcript: 2020/subtitles/emacsconf-2020--35-waveing-at-repetitive-repetitive-repetitive-music-zmusic--questions--zachary-kanfer.vtt --> + +<a name="transcript-questions"></a> +# Transcript: Q&A + +(00:09) Okay, yeah, so I'm Zachary Kanfer, let's go to the +questions. The first question, "Why do we go top to bottom for time +progression, and left to right for low to high?" Interesting, I +think…, so the initial thing I was copying, that initial app work this +way, and yeah, I mean, certainly traditional music, you know, on a +staff does go left to right like this. I mean, going top to bottom +does make it easier to add more beats without having to wrap, but +certainly that could be managed. Yeah, I had not really thought about +it, but it is definitely something worth looking into. + +(01:21) Two, "Will you play us another song?" Not now, I can make some +recordings of it, or certainly you can try it. I couldn't quite get +the microphone and the webcam and everything to work with the sound +playing now. So, I can record some. Also, I have put a link in the +Etherpad, <https://zck.org/emacsconf2020> [updated], where you can go +and get the source, and you can try it yourself. There's no +dependencies needed, so it's just all in Emacs. So, please, you know, +try it yourself. + +(01:57) "Any chance for an Emacs tracker or mod player?" I don't +really know what a mod player or tracker are, but I mean, I'm sure +that would be cool, maybe there's one on now, but I don't know. + +(02:11) My musical background. So, I've played various instruments +since about the third grade. Started recorder, play cello, I play +guitar now. But yeah, so just kind of random instruments, and I guess +kind of some of those things influence how I think about music. + +(02:33) "Are there any open source musical management sample libraries +that could be used?" Good question, I'm sure there are, I don't know +any of that integrate really well with Emacs. One of the cool things +that I liked about this is that there are no dependencies, you know, +you don't need any external program to generate the music. I mean, it +does shell out to to play, but that should be able to be done on any +operating system, as always, you have something that can play WAVE +files, but yeah, it is interesting to kind of try the different sounds +and different tones that you could get with different instruments. + +(03:14) Have I written any actual songs? Nothing super well put +together, I kind of just been playing around with this. It's kind of… +making this was one of those things where once I made it, I was like, +okay, now I can play with it, and I did a little bit, and was like, I +don't know if I feel like it right now. You know, which I've found +that to be the case with some things that I've implemented in Emacs +where it's… I make it, and then it's the kind of some of the desire to +use it all the time goes away, but I'm sure I'll circle back around at +some point especially kind of maybe once I add in different tones or +something. + +(03:54) I guess a similar question for pre-recorded sounds. Yeah, I +mean, if it's… part of what I did, what I wrote was a WAVE generation +library, so, if you kind of have the data, you could use those and +chop them up and take certain lengths of them and make a WAVE file, so +it's not plug and play right now, but you could certainly add those +notes to do it. + +(04:19) "Any MIDI mapping possibilities?" I haven't looked into it, +but I'm sure you definitely could output to MIDI which is another +benefit of having that multiple layers with the top layer is just, you +know, if the root note is this, we're just two semitones up or seven +semitones up or whatever it is. It should be relatively simple to +kind of switch out that layer underneath from WAVE to MIDI or other +things. + +(04:44) "What were some of the challenges with writing a special mode +for Emacs?" Interested in getting into this, not sure where to start. +This isn't the first mode I've written, so that's right…, certainly +that helps. I actually… I have a video that we recorded it as part of +EmacsNYC on making a major mode. That's basically starts from +nothing, and kind of builds up to an implementation of tic-tac-toe, +but so it kind of goes into printing things out and buttons and making +the mode. I mean, one of the best parts about Emacs is, because it's +so configurable and so introspectible, you can start pretty simply, +and just kind of ask Emacs about things, and then make one little +change. It's really… it's not that bad, so, I'll try to throw a link +up on that page I put up, or please email me for whoever asked this +question to get a link to that video, or just look at the source code +of this or any other major mode. Emacs makes it pretty easy to extend +major modes. + +(05:54) And I think that's the last question in the Etherpad, so, +thanks so much everybody for coming.

In 1976, I -developed the first Emacs editor with some help from Guy Steele. -Then, shortly after starting to develop the GNU operating system in -1984, I wanted an Emacs editor for it. So I started writing GNU Emacs -in September 1984. - -(00:29) Several years ago we decided to move many of the Emacs Lisp -packages outside the core Emacs distribution into a separate package -archive that we call the Emacs Lisp package archive ELPA. There were -two main reasons for this. One is to make the Emacs distribution -smaller so every user wouldn't have to get all the packages and -install all the packages. And the other reason was to make it possible -to release individual packages separately from Emacs releases. - -(01:08) Now, at that point somehow we decided to support loading -packages from a variety of different Emacs Lisp package archives and -ours would be called the GNU ELPA, but ELPA could be any other. Now, I -think that naming was a mistake. We should have meant, we should have -decided that ELPA referred to our package archive and any other -package archive should be called some other name. Oh, well! Uh this is -a mistake I believe, because it leads to a lot of confusion it would -have been clearer if we had uh used the other naming. - -(01:55) Because the difference between having a package in core Emacs -and having it in GNU ELPA, is purely a practical convenience matter. -Convenience of distribution and convenience of maintenance. We wanted -to be able to move packages between the two whenever that was -convenient. So, to make that possible we insisted on getting copyright -assignments for packages in GNU ELPA just the same way we do for -packages in core Emacs. - -(02:31) Having the facility for installing packages from package -archives, led to a tremendous boost in the development and release of -Emacs packages. Unfortunately there was a problem with the way that -was done. For the most part, the developers of these packages wouldn't -even tell us about them. They posted them in another package archive -where we didn't know about them and (where they) no attempt was made -to try to fit them into Emacs so that they could make sense as parts -of the Emacs distribution. This led to both moral problems, packages -that depended on non-free software in order to be usable and technical -problems because the developers of those packages didn't coordinate -with us about how to make it useful and convenient and clean to have -them in Emacs. - -(03:36) So, the idea of NonGNU ELPA is an effort to smooth these -things out. The fundamental plan of NonGNU ELPA is that, we won't ask -for copyright assignments for those packages. So, we won't be able to -put them into core Emacs; at least not easily, but we will have some -control over how we distribute them. We can put any package into -NonGNU ELPA as long as it's free software. If we like it we can set up -that way for users to get it. We could put the package in exactly as -it is if there's no problem at all with it. We can make an arrangement -with the package's developers to work on it with us and maintain it -directly for distribution by NonGNU ELPA but if they are not -interested we can put it in ourselves and if we need to make any -changes we can do so. - -(04:52) So, NonGNU ELPA is not meant to be just a way that others can -distribute their packages. It's meant at least in a minimal technical -sense to work with GNU Emacs, and we'll make changes if necessary so -that it works smoothly with Emacs. And this means that we're going to -maintain it differently from GNU ELPA. Well, GNU ELPA is hosted in a -way that is actually rather inconvenient. It is one single Git -repository. And so anybody that has access to write it can write any -part of it. There are many different packages in there maintained by -different people, and we have no way to give each one of them access -to per own package and not to the others. Well, with NonGNU ELPA we -plan to fix that. The idea is to have a single Git repository where -you can download various packages from. But, they won't be maintained -there. Each of those packages will be copied automatically from some -other place. Probably some other repository where the right people -have access to work on it. And this way we can avoid giving a gigantic -number of people access to every part of it. So far NonGNU ELPA is -just a plan, we need people to implement the plan. So, if you would -like to help please write to me. I think this is a very important step -for progress and it's got to be implemented. Thanks and happy hacking! - +[[!template new="1" text="Hello, I'm Richard Stallman," start="00:00:00.320" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="founder of the GNU project." start="00:00:03.280" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="In 1976, I developed the first" start="00:00:07.816" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="Emacs editor with some help" start="00:00:09.200" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="from Guy Steele." start="00:00:12.320" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="Then, shortly after starting to develop" start="00:00:13.440" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="the GNU operating system in 1984," start="00:00:15.839" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="I wanted an Emacs editor for it." start="00:00:19.119" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="So I started writing GNU Emacs in September 1984." start="00:00:22.240" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template new="1" text="Several years ago we decided to move" start="00:00:29.519" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="many of the Emacs Lisp packages outside" start="00:00:32.640" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="the core Emacs distribution into" start="00:00:35.920" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="a separate package archive that we call the Emacs Lisp package archive ELPA." start="00:00:39.866" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="There were two main reasons for this." start="00:00:46.480" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="One is to make the Emacs distribution smaller" start="00:00:49.555" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="so every user wouldn't have to" start="00:00:51.520" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="get all the packages" start="00:00:54.870" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="and install all the packages." start="00:00:55.680" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="And the other reason was to make it possible to" start="00:00:58.820" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="release individual packages" start="00:01:00.480" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="separately from Emacs releases." start="00:01:03.485" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template new="1" text="Now, at that point somehow we decided to" start="00:01:08.880" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="support loading packages from" start="00:01:13.119" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="a variety of different Emacs Lisp package archives" start="00:01:17.040" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="and ours would be called the GNU ELPA," start="00:01:21.119" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="but ELPA could be any other." start="00:01:25.520" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="Now, I think that naming was a mistake." start="00:01:29.280" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="We should have meant, we should have decided that ELPA" start="00:01:32.945" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="referred to our package archive" start="00:01:35.119" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="and any other package archive" start="00:01:37.759" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="should be called some other name." start="00:01:39.297" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]] +[[!template text="Oh, well!
