+# Reading and writing emails in GNU Emacs with Gnus
+Amin Bandali (he/him) - IRC: bandali, <https://kelar.org/~bandali>, <mailto:bandali@gnu.org>
+
+[[!inline pages="internal(2025/info/gnus-before)" raw="yes"]]
+
+Gnus has had the reputation of being difficult to grasp and
+configure.  The myriad of configuration options of its many major
+and minor modes which afford Gnus its high degree of customizability
+can also seem overwhelming and daunting for folks looking to learn
+about and use it to build a workflow for doing email in GNU Emacs.
+
+This talk aims to provide a high-level outline of some of the key
+concepts in Gnus, and a roadmap for approaching and configuring Gnus
+and Message to your liking so that you, too, can read, compose, and
+send emails with GNU Emacs.
+
+About the speaker:
+
+Amin Bandali is a computing scientist and activist for user freedom,
+and a participant in various free software projects and communities.
+Bandali wears a few hats around the GNU Project and is a volunteer
+member of the Free Software Foundation SysOps team, a core organizer
+of EmacsConf, a Debian Developer and a contributor to the Trisquel
+GNU/Linux distribution.
+
+In this talk, Bandali will go over configuring Gnus and Message for
+reading and composing emails, showcasing one of many approaches for
+using GNU Emacs for email communications.
