+# Experience Report: Steps to "Emacs Hyper Notebooks"
+Saturday, Nov 28 2020, 2:05 PM - 2:15 PM
+Joseph Corneli, Raymond Puzio, and Cameron Ray Smith
+
+We present a short experience report from the perspective of two
+long-time Emacs users and one relative newcomer. Our motivations
+relate, broadly, to reproducibility of research in science. We
+reflect on our experiences with off-the-self solutions available
+through the Emacs package manager, and describe some of our custom
+extensions.
+
+When working on a scientific research project, one typically has
+multiple different computer programs running at the same time. For
+example, we may use a computer algebra system such as Maxima for
+calculations, an interactive language such as Julia for numerical
+computations, TeX for writing up results, a reference manger such as
+Zotero for the bibliography, Roam for note-taking, and Jekyll for
+blogging. Switching and moving content among these programs can be
+distracting, time-consuming, and prone to error. These issues are
+compounded when there are several collaborators involved.
+
+We explore a solution that looks toward building better "computational
+notebooks" using Emacs. We take Org mode as our foundation. As many
+in this audience will know, Org mode integrates features such as
+writing, task management, program evaluation, typesetting,
+presentation, and navigation. Tightly integrated add-on packages
+round out the picture either by directly replacing the functionality
+of the other programs mentioned above or automatically dispatching
+commands to them. We outline both the pleasure and pain involved in
+this experience.
+
+
+

+
+All times are approximate, and we might shuffle talks around as needed. Please check https://emacsconf.org/2020 a few days before the start of the conference for instructions on how to watch and participate.
