+This is a talk about Orgmode, my favorite Emacs application. The goal
+is to show you the power of Emacs when you want to manage and organize
+your life. Orgmode is your swiss army knife for that job, and so far
+the only tool that you can customize for your needs and you need to
+customize yourself to fit the restrictions of a "ToDo list tool".
+
+Background info: I'm using Orgmode for many years now, and I'm not
+exaggerating if I tell you that it saved me from a nervous breakdown
+when my wife got diagonosed with severe illness and I was suddenly in
+charge of everything. Orgmode was there and reminded me of the
+important things so nothing was forgotten and I could focus on what
+really matters.
+
+This talk should introduce people to Orgmode, showing them what they
+can do and how it makes your life easier, freeing time for the things
+that matter to you.
+
+I was holding a similar talk at the local Linux Day in our town in
+
+1. In 2016 I recorded a set of tutorial videos which are available
+
+on my YouTube channel which gained more than 3500 subcribers because
+of those tutorials. In Summer 2020 I recorded the tutorials again for
+a course at Udemy which went online in October 2020 and is
+supplemented by a 100+ pages course book.
