One thing that + +0:03:20.400,0:03:24.720 +helps us a lot + +0:03:21.440,0:03:26.239 +is if people that we're working with + +0:03:24.720,0:03:28.080 +can tell us, kinda, keystroke for + +0:03:26.239,0:03:30.480 +keystroke at times, what to do and + +0:03:28.080,0:03:32.400 +explain what everything is doing. + +0:03:30.480,0:03:35.840 +Using the same packages can really + +0:03:32.400,0:03:39.840 +help us working together on a project. + +0:03:35.840,0:03:40.720 +Speaking from my personal + +0:03:39.840,0:03:42.959 +experience, + +0:03:40.720,0:03:45.040 +it took me decades to get to the point + +0:03:42.959,0:03:46.720 +where I was excited to program in Emacs + +0:03:45.040,0:03:47.840 +Lisp. I've programmed in a lot of programming + +0:03:46.720,0:03:51.200 +languages, + +0:03:47.840,0:03:53.680 +but Lisp wasn't on my list.

And I credit + +0:04:28.880,0:04:33.520 +Jeff Goff, my good friend who died + +0:04:31.680,0:04:37.759 +earlier in 2020, + +0:04:33.520,0:04:39.280 +for my lifelong love of Emacs. + +0:04:37.759,0:04:40.800 +Perhaps EriK and I will talk about that + +0:04:39.280,0:04:41.360 +a little bit more in another talk we + +0:04:40.800,0:04:43.280 +have + +0:04:41.360,0:04:44.400 +scheduled, but Jeff was a huge + +0:04:43.280,0:04:47.280 +influenceo on us + +0:04:44.400,0:04:48.720 +in a number of ways and a huge + +0:04:47.280,0:04:50.720 +contributor to the Raku programming + +0:04:48.720,0:04:54.000 +language + +0:04:50.720,0:04:54.000 +which is very cool. + +0:04:54.840,0:05:01.039 +So, understanding how + +0:04:58.880,0:05:03.120 +to make a good decision about splitting + +0:05:01.039,0:05:03.680 +up configuration in a way to share it + +0:05:03.120,0:05:05.600 +across + +0:05:03.680,0:05:07.600 +people with really different uses of + +0:05:05.600,0:05:09.360 +Emacs... That's actually a + +0:05:07.600,0:05:11.039 +complicated topic and I want to + +0:05:09.360,0:05:12.639 +sort of back off and stare at it for a + +0:05:11.039,0:05:15.840 +second. + +0:05:12.639,0:05:18.720 +I think Emacs is about people, so that + +0:05:15.840,0:05:22.000 +means it's about community. + +0:05:18.720,0:05:24.960 +And community means we're going to + +0:05:22.000,0:05:29.120 +invite disagreement. + +0:05:24.960,0:05:32.160 +In fact, that disagreement + +0:05:29.120,0:05:33.280 +isn't necessarily a road-block to our + +0:05:32.160,0:05:35.680 +project. In fact, + +0:05:33.280,0:05:37.759 +some of the work that a community + +0:05:35.680,0:05:39.680 +project can invite us to do + +0:05:37.759,0:05:40.960 +is to get closer to each other by + +0:05:39.680,0:05:42.080 +inviting those disagreements, by + +0:05:40.960,0:05:43.280 +learning from them--learning from + +0:05:42.080,0:05:46.880 +different people's + +0:05:43.280,0:05:49.120 +styles and from how they argue, + +0:05:46.880,0:05:50.400 +and thinking about why they have that + +0:05:49.120,0:05:53.680 +perspective and + +0:05:50.400,0:05:55.360 +what technical benefits that + +0:05:53.680,0:05:56.720 +perhaps radical point of view might + +0:05:55.360,0:05:59.039 +carry away. Some people are really + +0:05:56.720,0:06:01.919 +aggressive arguers, and others + +0:05:59.039,0:06:03.120 +are very passive and really + +0:06:01.919,0:06:06.240 +couch their ideas + +0:06:03.120,0:06:08.080 +in distancing terms, to say, "well + +0:06:06.240,0:06:12.479 +probably, this is a good idea" or + +0:06:08.080,0:06:15.520 +"please double check me." + +0:06:12.479,0:06:17.120 +Those don't always necessarily indicate + +0:06:15.520,0:06:18.479 +how certain a person is, because we're + +0:06:17.120,0:06:19.520 +different. We have different ways of + +0:06:18.479,0:06:23.380 +communicating + +0:06:19.520,0:06:24.560 +ideas like certainty or excitement. + +0:06:23.380,0:06:26.560 +[Music] + +0:06:24.560,0:06:30.000 +When we think about a bunch of really + +0:06:26.560,0:06:33.280 +diverse programmers approaching Emacs, + +0:06:30.000,0:06:36.479 +probably one of our our first really big + +0:06:33.280,0:06:39.759 +challenges is just + +0:06:36.479,0:06:41.120 +to pick what we're going to go + +0:06:39.759,0:06:44.000 +after.

Maybe the + +0:06:56.560,0:07:02.240 +more valuable + +0:07:02.240,0:07:06.080 +conversation to have is making the + +0:07:04.720,0:07:08.000 +hard decisions about, well, + +0:07:06.080,0:07:10.080 +"should we have vertical completion," + +0:07:08.000,0:07:11.759 +should that be the out of the box, + +0:07:10.080,0:07:15.680 +and the people that want + +0:07:11.759,0:07:17.440 +the traditional splayed out over a + +0:07:15.680,0:07:19.840 +single line completion + +0:07:17.440,0:07:20.800 +for example in the mode line, those + +0:07:19.840,0:07:22.800 +people are going to + +0:07:20.800,0:07:24.160 +add a line of config + +0:07:24.160,0:07:27.199 +to their own setup? + +0:07:29.039,0:07:34.080 +The way to get there?

That's pretty much my talk. + +0:11:29.120,0:11:32.959 +If there's any time, I would take a + +0:11:30.480,0:11:35.040 +couple questions. + +0:11:32.959,0:11:36.480 +Thank you for your awesome talk, + +0:11:35.040,0:11:38.160 +Corwin. + +0:11:36.480,0:11:43.839 +I think we have one or two + +0:11:38.160,0:11:43.839 +minutes for a few questions. + +0:11:49.519,0:11:53.839 +Do you have the pad open or would you + +0:11:52.000,0:11:56.959 +like me to read the questions for you? + +0:11:53.839,0:11:58.000 +Oh, I managed to close the + +0:11:56.959,0:12:00.560 +pad + +0:11:58.000,0:12:03.440 +and I am trying to open it again. All + +0:12:00.560,0:12:03.440 +right, there it opened. + +0:12:03.519,0:12:06.880 +Bringing it onto a screen where I can + +0:12:05.040,0:12:08.399 +see it.

Yes, absolutely. + +0:12:23.519,0:12:29.920 +I think Emacs is an ambassador to + +0:12:26.720,0:12:33.279 +the GNU tool chain. + +0:12:29.920,0:12:34.560 +I think that in the fullness of time, we + +0:12:33.279,0:12:38.240 +will see an Emacs + +0:12:34.560,0:12:42.000 +that makes + +0:12:38.240,0:12:42.800 +and that makes iOS and Android and other + +0:12:42.000,0:12:45.680 +closed-source + +0:12:42.800,0:12:46.320 +tools dream. That's why they mock us + +0:12:45.680,0:12:49.200 +and call + +0:12:46.320,0:12:51.440 +Emacs an operating system. It's because + +0:12:49.200,0:12:53.920 +it could be, if we cared for it to be. + +0:12:51.440,0:12:55.680 +It's quite a threatening product + +0:12:55.680,0:12:59.440 +from the perspective of how many problem + +0:12:57.440,0:13:01.519 +spaces it can address, how many types of + +0:12:59.440,0:13:04.399 +users it can satisfy, + +0:13:01.519,0:13:05.600 +the things that we can do to make + +0:13:04.399,0:13:07.839 +it robust in those + +0:13:05.600,0:13:09.760 +environments. I mean, we're always + +0:13:07.839,0:13:11.839 +thinking about the weak points, but + +0:13:09.760,0:13:14.079 +is Emacs a community building tool?
