+On one hand, Emacs is the crown jewel of the GNU Project for its
+customisability and the ability to effortlessly convert users to
+hackers. On the other hand, today many of the sticky issues with
+proprietary software proliferation stems from the web, including the
+Javascript trap[1] on the client side and the SaaSS trap[2] on the
+server side. So enters the topic of this talk. I will briefly talk
+about these issues and existing solutions, followed by ideas and
+demonstrations on how Emacs can fix user freedom on the web, including
+(from realistic to dreamy): emacs clients for specific websites and
+services i.e. replacing read-only javascript forced on your browser
+with hackable free elisp packages, emacs-based browsers aka universal
+frontends and elisp version of users-cripts / greasemonkey / haketilo,
+write-once-run-everywhere elisp programs (e.g. the emacs web server
+and (nonexistent?) emacs mobile app UI framework), and remote emacs
+servers that can be shared by a group of hackers running server
+programs written in elisp, thus eliminating the SaaSS trap.

+- A Brief History of the windows port
+
+ When (and why?) was the windows port added? Was that contentious? How
+ about now? (5m)
+
+- Acquire Binaries
+
+ There are lots of ways for Windows users to get pre-compiled Emacs
+ binaries. I'll mention some and get into the particulars of Emacs as
+ found on GNU FTP. (2m)
+
+- Build Sources
+
+ I'll talk about how building for Windows differs from building for
+ other platforms, where to find documentation, important configuration
+ options to consider, requirements for the build machine. After that
+ I'll show build commands and good and not-so-good outputs, ultimately
+ covering the complete process, both using the latest release tarball
+ (from GNU FTP) as well as for building the main development branch
+ from emacs.git (hosted on GNU Savannah). (20m)
+
+- Make an Installer
+
+ I'll show how to use the NSIS script contained within
+ admin/nt/dist-build in the Emacs source tree to create an executable
+ self-installer of Emacs for Windows. (2m)
+
+- Share
+
+ I'll describe the requirements of the GNU Public License as related to
+ sharing binary versions of Emacs, and talk about what I do to comply,
+ command by command. (1m)
+
+- Automate
+
+ I'll introduce scripting I use to automate publishing binaries
+ tracking a given Emacs branch, and a couple other related tools, thus
+ recapping most topics. (10m)
