# Transcript
-(Amin: Alrighty, Leo Vivier, take it away.) Leo Vivier: Okay, well, thank you. I'm
-in. So you've just had a little roundup of the news, and we're going
-to get started now with some presentations. We're starting with user
-developer stories. I was extremely interested in this section because
-I wanted to get a chance, basically, to tell you a little more about
-who I am and how I got from basically being a user of Emacs to being
-nowadays a package maintainer, and maybe more in the future. I don't
-know.
-
-So, just for the organizers, I'm planning to speak for 15 minutes, and
-I'll have five more minutes of questions at the end. As I told you
-before, if you want to have questions, you know you can use the pad,
-and I'll be reading the questions from there. Okay.
-
-So hi there, as Amin introduced me before, my name is Leo Vivier. I'm
-a freelance software engineer in France, and I have been using Emacs
-now for i believe close to eight years. I can't believe it's been so
-long. But yes, it's been a journey because, in a way, nothing made me
-go for Emacs. You know I'm an-- sorry, I was about to say Emacs major,
-but no, I'm an English major. I went to university to study English
-literature and linguistics, and I just got started in Emacs because I
-was looking for ways to take better notes. I was looking for ways to
-[Applause] structure the way I was learning, structure the way I was
-taking notes. I stumbled one day upon this weird piece of software
-which was called Emacs, and I've been trapped forever since,
-basically, because eight years ago, when I discovered Emacs I just
-couldn't let go. There was just something very interesting about the
-way you configured your setup, and I just wanted to dive deeper and
-deeper.
-
-So the title is of this talk exactly is how I went from user to
-package maintainer, and the package now that I'm maintaining is called
-org-roam. I'm not the only one doing this. I'm helped with many lovely
-people working on org-roam. I got started as a maintainer only this
-year, so that means that for the eight years I've been an Emacs user,
-seven of those years were spent merely being a user trying to be a
-sponge for knowledge, trying to learn as much as I could. I believe it
-would be interesting for me to share my story because I believe that
-I'm far from being the only user who can make the jump to being a
-maintainer.
-
-A lot of you have a lot of knowledge when it comes to Emacs. Some of
-you are at different steps in your journey. Some of you, for instance,
-are just starting to copy stuff out of StackExchange into your Emacs
-configuration. let's say you want to do something very particular and
-you haven't found a way to do so. You go on StackExchange. You find
-something that's interesting. You add it to your Emacs configuration.
-You barely understand anything that's going on. You know that it's
-supposed to be Emacs Lisp. "I hardly know Emacs and I know even less
-what is Lisp supposed to be." But you paste it in and it does what you
-want it to do, and you say "Great, I'll move on to my work now." So
-that's how I got started. I had a very spartan setup for Emacs, which
-a lot of you must know... The first time you launch Emacs, you have
-this feeling that you're jumping 20 years back in time, as far as the
-user interface is concerned. But as you get to spend more time with
-Emacs... Some would call it Stockholm syndrome insofar as you can't
-see how spartan the entire thing is, but it actually is a lovely
-prison so to speak.
-
-That's how I got started eight years ago. I just wanted to find a way
-to do my research properly. I wanted to have a tool that I could use
-to write my notes in plain text, because I was already fairly averse
-to Microsoft solutions when it came to taking notes. So yeah, I got
-started in Emacs. I read a little bit about what plain text was about.
-Just to be clear, at the time, yes, I was very good with computers,
-but I was not a computer science student. I had barely any experience
-with programming and coding, and I was even less of a hacker back
-then. It just goes to show you that at the beginning, I had close to
-no knowledge, whether it be about the free software world, whether it
-be about...
-
-Sacha, do you want to say something? (Sacha: just confirming, you're
-not sharing anything on the screen at the moment, right?) No, I'm not
-sharing anything, I'm just presenting.
-
-So when I started, I had no experience whatsoever. I was just a
-literature major trying to get better at taking notes. I stumbled upon
-LaTeX. As many people who stumble upon LaTeX know, you don't just
-stumble upon LaTeX, you embroil yourself in the turmoil of suffering,
-of late nights tweaking, so that your document is exactly in the
-perfect shape you want it to be.
-
-Soon after, when I got started with Emacs and LaTeX, I discovered
-something that truly changed my life, and it was Org Mode. As you'll
-get a lot of presentations this afternoon about Org Mode, I won't be
-spending too much time on it. But Org Mode, for me, was a revelation.
-It's... There was something that, upon reading articles on how to use
-Org Mode, especially one of the key article that I'd read which really
-made a huge impact on me was the "Organize Your Life in Plain Text"
-one which i'm sure many of you must have stumbled upon in your Emacs
-journey... For me, when I stumbled upon this document, I was starting
-to get interested in Getting Things Done and all the nitty-gritty
-stuff about organization and self-organization. It just felt like
-everything was under my fingertips to make the perfect workflow. There
-was something incredibly satisfying about having a system that gave
-you so many options to configure your experience exactly how you
-wanted. You had this feeling that the people behind Org Mode had
-thought of everything, whichever small adjustment that you needed in
-workflow whether it be more states for your TODOs, whether it be, oh,
-I want my weeks to start on Monday and not on Saturday, oh, it's half
-past one and I need to... in the morning, I mean, and I need to make
-sure that the item that i'm marking as done is done for the day before
-and not for the current day. You see what I'm talking about. So many
-details that were already present in Org Mode. At first you're really
-impressed, because you think, wow, they thought of everything, but
-then you realize that it's just a matter of experience, just a matter
-of people contributing code, because the development of Org Mode,
-Emacs, and everything is just open to the public.
-
-You know, it's like everything is being done with the garage
-door opened. You can just go on Org Mode on Savannah and see
-everything that is being developed. For me, the shift that occurred in
-my mind was when I was reading all the options, I was looking at all
-the variables that i could modify for Org Mode, and there came a time,
-maybe two to three years ago, where I thought, oh wow, maybe for the
-first time in a while, there is no option for me to do what I want to
-be doing with Org Mode. I believe at the time the the key issue that
-triggered this reflex for me was I wanted to do something with the
-agenda. I wanted to have a super category so, you know, in the... for
-those of you who know, in your agenda, you have the ability to have
-many files, and you have the ability to have categories. I wanted
-somehow to group my TODOs in smaller groups, or bigger groups, I
-should say, so that, for instance, I could have one group for my
-professional life, I could have a group for one work, the second
-work... I could have something for university and all this. I thought,
-yeah, I think I'd like this. After having spent so long working with
-Emacs and working with Org Mode, I had some ideas about what was
-within the realm of possibility and what wasn't. Here I thought to
-myself, this is definitely something that I can do. And so thus
-started my journey into the Org Mode libraries.
-
-I won't go too much into details right now, because right now, the
-main objective that I have is just to show you how simple it is to
-become a maintainer, how to become more involved with the development.
-The libraries in Org Mode, they're written in Elisp, which is a
-very... It might seem like an obscure language, and it certainly is,
-but as soon as you get the logic of the language--and what i'm telling
-you is coming from someone who's never studied programming-- it made
-sense. Everything is so verbose when you get into the code. When you
-learn the rudiments of Elisp, you start getting to the code, and you
-start thinking, wow, okay that makes sense, and you start developing a
-logic for all this. So, equipped as I was with this new knowledge, I
-went on my project, i went into the Org agenda code, and I thought,
-okay, is there anything that I can use to do my bidding? Fast forward
-maybe two to three weeks of intense turmoil and many nights which were
-spent single-mindedly working on this project, two weeks after, I had
-something that was working, and I was pretty happy about it. That was
-a key landmark for me, because when that happened, it just felt like,
-okay, I can contribute something to Org Mode, and I can do something
-that would benefit as many people as possible. And to me, that was the
-click. That's when it occurred. That's when I went on my first project
-and I did something that felt useful to the community.
-
-And nowadays, as I told you, I maintain packages, but really, nothing
-has changed. The only thing, maybe, that has changed that I've turned
-my mind onto other problems. Maybe I've got three more minutes and I'd
-like to finish by maybe something a little different.
-
-I've told you my Emacs story and I hope I've stressed how little
-effort it took me to move from steps to steps on the ladder. The
-ladder implies a sense of hierarchy, but it really isn't. Whatever
-your step on the journey of Emacs is... Some of you might be at the
-step where you're really worried about learning Elisp because it feels
-like such a monumental task to be undertaking and you have no
-experience whatsoever, but the thing is, maybe you could try climbing
-this first step on the ladder. Maybe you could try, if you have any
-project, if you've been using Org Mode, maybe one day you thought,
-"oh, yes, I wish I could do this but I can't," or maybe do try to do
-this, maybe do try to change something in a major mode that you're
-using and which you feel might be better. I think Emacs, Org Mode, and
-all free software in general has this tendency to give you this idea
-that I can be a hacker in the sense of the term that you're modifying
-things to do your bidding. For me, I believe this to be a very healthy
-attitude towards software. As Amin said in the very beginning, we are
-doing this entire presentation-- sorry, this entire conference with
-free software. Just see all the things we've been able to do in free
-software. For me, Emacs was my gateway, so to speak, into how to
-contribute to free software, about the philosophy that surrounds it.
-
-What I would like to do... I'll finish on this note and then I'll be
-taking your questions. Just try. You've read on Reddit that you need
-to go through the Elisp manual in Emacs. You might be scared, but just
-do it. Just give it a shot. Just give it maybe one afternoon. Try to
-read it. Try to see if this appeals to your mind. If you've been
-interested enough in my presentation right now, and if you're
-interested enough in any of the talks you're going to have during the
-entire conference, do give it a shot. I'm pretty sure you will like
-the journey on which you will be embarking upon. So
-
-I believe I'm finishing one minute early, but I see quite a bit of
-questions already. I'm not sure. Sacha, should I just be reading the
-questions, or do you want to be feeding me the questions? (Amin: It's
-really up to you. it's completely up to you. If you've got the
-questions open and can take them or read them, by all means please.)
-Okay, well, I'm going to read them because I've got them on the side.
-I'm going to start with the one at the bottom.
-
-"Do you feel that being a white male contributed to your experience?"
-Yeah. I mean, I do believe... There's an idea of privilege. I mean,
-I'm French. I live in... I'm lucky enough to be here at university,
-okay, and I'm fairly aware of the discrepancies that happen, even in
-France, according to this... So, yes, I believe my journey was heavily
-influenced by this. If you would like to specify the question, please
-do, but I don't have really all that much to ask on this.
-
-"What is your advice to start learning Elisp language? Any
-particularly good resource or any other tips?" I finished um my
-presentation by telling you about the Elisp introduction which is
-built into Emacs. What I might do... I'm going to share my screen just
-to show you how this works. I will be sharing this window. I believe
-it's frozen on my end, so I can't see anything. i'm not sure if you
-can see me or if my camera is moving. Okay, so my Firefox is frozen.
-So i'll answer the question, but I won't be able to show you what I
-wanted to show you. There's a built-in guide inside Emacs to learn
-Elisp. Maybe the best chance that you have is just to go open these
-info pages. I'm sure someone will be kind enough to mention this to
-you in the #emacsconf channel on IRC but it's probably the best way to
-get started with Elisp. You know, we tend to get obsessed, with
-software and with programming, about what's the best way to get
-started. You see so many people who are heavily interested in getting
-started with programming but they never managed to get started because
-there's so much choice. My advice would be to just get started. Don't
-get so worried about the first step. Well, if I may still recommend
-the first step, even after saying this, do try to start with the
-built-in guides. I believe they're pretty pretty good.
-
-There was another question. It's the last question that I can read and
-after that, you will have to read the questions for me because
-everything is frozen on my end. I hope I'm not frozen in a very bad
-position so please excuse me if my mouth is open or anything. (Amin:
-no, we just completely lost the video feed, so no worries.) Oh,
-splendid, so I won't have to make a fool out of myself.
-
-So the last question I wanted to answer was "Have you read Dirk
-Gently's Holistic Detective Agency?" No, I haven't. I hope it's not a
-jab at the way i'm dressing for the conference, but yeah, I haven't
-read it. Was there any other question?
-
-(Amin: I see one other question. "Any recommendation for good
-packaging guides or places to start? i get a bit overwhelmed by some
-things. For example, the choice of different test frameworks.") Right.
-Okay. So that's a very good question. I believe alphapapa is in the
-chat right now. As myself a new lisp developer for org-roam, i'd
-really recommend you to look into his package developers' guide
-because you have a list of all the softwares that are extremely useful
-to be using when you're getting started. If you're looking into a
-first step for how to develop elast package, i'd really advise you to
-look into edebug. It's one word, edebug, and you have a section in the
-manual for this, because for me, it was the key step to getting to
-develop good packages. It was understanding basically what the code
-did and having us something like a REPL (read-evaluate-print-loop)
-that allows you to step through the code and see exactly which states
-the variables are at which at this point in the program. That's really
-my biggest advice to you. Any other question? Thanks. Yeah, I
-see one or two more. So there's one.
-
-They ask, "How did the freedom of Emacs help you on your way?" So the
-freedom of Emacs... I mentioned that Emacs, for me, was my gateway
-into free software and the freedom of Emacs was that you could
-maybe... First and foremost, compared to other software, was that you
-had behind Emacs, Elisp, which allows you to read the code, read
-whatever is going on in the background. Surely, if you go deep enough,
-you'll end up on C functions that you might not be able to read if you
-do not have the experience. But for Org Mode, which was my gateway
-into Emacs, most of it is written in Elisp, and all the commands have
-a very verbose name, like something simple as org go to next subtree
-or org go to a parent subtree. You know, things like this. It's so
-elegant. It's verbose. That's a sense of freedom insofar as you can go
-into the code and see, oh, okay, that's how it's implemented. I
-believe in a way that's the freedom and the liberty that is given to
-you to look into the code is something that invites you to do the same
-with your life. As someone who does a little bit of philosophy on the
-side, I believe it's a very healthy message to be gathering from a
-piece of software.
-
-(Amin: Awesome, thank you. Let's see... So we have... I think I saw
-another question pop up.) I'm not sure how we're doing as far as time
-is concerned... I believe we have like one or two minutes more. (Amin:
-Yeah, actually, we're quite a bit ahead of the schedule, so if we take
-a little bit longer, we're fine. If you do have more questions, please
-do.) I'm just sorry that my video is not working anymore. (Amin: No
-problem. Someone was actually saying... What's the most recent...
-Actually, yeah well before that.
-
-"Please show off your three-piece suit before you end your talk, which
-requires fixing your frozen camera. if this is not possible, please
-post suit selfies in an easily accessible location." Okay, I'll make
-sure to do this. But yes, I wanted to hype things up for the
-conference, so yes, I did get the three-piece suit out. I'm very glad
-you like it. By the way when you get a chance to see me live again, do
-appreciate that my tie has both the colors of Emacs purple and also
-Org Mode green. It took me a while to find this one, so I hope you
-will appreciate this.
-
-(Amin: Awesome. Let's see. We have one other question. "What's the
-most recent Emacs package or tool that you've discovered that you've
-added to your repertoire?") Very interesting question. The thing is,
-when you've spent as long as I have on Emacs--and I know that I've
-only spent eight years and some of you might have spent maybe 10, 20,
-maybe even more years on Emacs-- but for me, I believe the the coolest
-neat trick that I found in Emacs was a mode which is called
-beacon-mode. It's something that allows you to show when you're
-jumping between buffers or when you're dropping between windows, it
-shows exactly where your point is in that buffer by making a slight
-ray of light which looks like a beacon, hence the name. It really
-helps you navigate buffers because it always shows in a very visual
-way where your point is. I'll get a chance to show this to you later
-today when i'll be presenting my other talks.
-
-(Amin: AWesome. We have one question from Jonas, the maintainer from
-Magit. He asks, "When you touched your webcam, that blew a fuse at my
-place. How did you do that?") Well, I'm very sorry, Jonas, that it
-happened to you, but i'll make sure not to touch my webcam again.
-(Amin: Do we have any other questions?) I have to trust you on this
-one. I'm really sorry. Everything is frozen on my end. (Amin: No
-problem.)
-
-Yeah I'm more talking to the audience, I guess. I hope my lack of
-slides didn't bother you. I really wanted to have this verbose time
-with people, to be able to... it's a message that i've been trying to
-share with as many people as possible. In france we do have an Emacs
-workshop that we have on a monthly basis. I've been learning a lot
-with those people and I felt like doing the same with Emacs conference
-would be good. That's why i'm really happy, and I'm really lucky to
-have had the chance to do this today. I hope some of you I've
-convinced you of climbing up a step on a ladder or making a step in a
-journey. (Amin: Absolutely. Thank you so much, Leo. I happen to
-completely agree with your not necessarily using a slide when it's not
-really needed and to help give some face-to-face time with the
-audience. Unfortunately your webcam cut out, but I mean before that.)
-Yes, I'll make sure to fix the problems later on, so don't worry about
-it. (Amin: Awesome. Alrighty. I guess we're wrapping up for your talk
-and getting ready for the next talk.) Sure. Well, thank you so much.
-I'll see you all later, I suppose! (Amin: Sounds good. Thank you
-again, Leo. Bye-bye)

# Transcript
-Hello, everyone, and welcome to the EmacsConf. I am Jonathan. In this
-talk, I'm going to demonstrate ways of producing sheet music in Emacs
-using Lilypond, and maybe also convince you to use Emacs for writing
-your scores. I'll start with an overview of the syntax for those who
-are new to using text-based notation as a shallow dive into the deep
-pond of lilies and Lilypond, and move on to showcase some of its
-functionalities using Org Mode and lilypond-mode. One disclaimer,
-however: I am not a Lilypond developer.
-
-(00:40) So what is Lilypond? Lilypond is a file format and music engraving
-system for producing high-quality sheet music. It translates textual
-representations of music to graphical objects. It's similar to LaTeX
-in that its input format describes the visual layouts of the score,
-using commands to define musical expressions. Commands begin with a
-backslash. For example, the formatter command, as shown on the left,
-yields its graphical equivalents on the right, the fermata symbol over
-the low B and so on and so forth. It's also fully extensible, like
-Emacs, allowing users to extend and override Lilypond's
-functionalities using the Scheme scripting language. It can be used
-for early and contemporary music tablature, vocal music lead sheets,
-and so on. Above all, it works with Emacs. In fact, Lilypond ships
-with Emacs Lisp libraries, including a major mode for editing Lilypond
-files.
-
-(01:47) So the input files are similar to source files. They contain
-expressions formed with curly braces, comments that start with the
-percent sign, and the code is indented. Notes are entered using
-lowercase letters, and rests with the letter r. In this case, the
-lowercase r or r4 is the equivalence of a crotchet or quarter note
-rest. Durations are entered using numbers and dots after the note
-name. If you do not specify one, the previous duration is used. You
-can also tie notes together using the tilde symbol (~). In fact, you
-can input chords, lyrics, embellishments, and a lot more. I encourage
-you to read the manual for more information. Now let's switch to a
-terminal window. With Lilypond installed, let's create a test file
-with the extension .ly and open it in Emacs.
-
-(02:50) At the top of the file is the version statement, which tells Lilypond
-which version to use when compiling the file. Here I'm using version
-2.20.0. I've added the clef and time signature. Let's add some notes.
-I'm going to close this now and compile the file by running lilypond
-followed by the file name. So now let's view the output. Okay.
-
-(03:27) So here's a more complex example for randomizing note sequences. The
-idea is to create new reading materials each time the code blocks are
-evaluated. As usual, we begin with a header. I've added the title and
-composer. Then we add the note sequences to use in the composition. In
-this case, sn is a note name just like a b c d and so on, and stands
-for snare drum, the percussion instruments. Now here's a function
-that's going to shuffle the notes in the table. Finally, we expand the
-notes inside the Lilypond source block. So whatever the function
-returns is expanded inside the drums block. Now let's press C-c C-c to
-view the results. Okay. And if I run this again, it should create a
-new composition. Great. You can also audition a piece using the midi
-command, which creates a midi file of the score.
-
-(04:34) Note also that the ob library-- sorry, the ob-lilypond library comes
-with two modes. The one I'm using now is called arrange mode and is
-useful for assembling complete scores. The basic mode on the other
-hand allows you to mix text and music by embedding Lilypond snippets
-and export them using typical Org Mode commands.
-
-(05:00) Now to demonstrate the basic mode in action. I'm going to export this
-document to a PDF file. In this case, the :file header argument is
-required, so you have to provide one and include the file name. Again,
-you can run the code and view the results. Here it is. So now let's
-export this to a PDF file. And here it is, what it generates.
-
-(05:39) Now I'm going to show you the workflow I used to produce music books
-in Emacs, combining Lilypond and LaTeX for a perfect marriage. I begin
-by sketching the first draft of the manuscript using pencil and paper.
-Then I move to Emacs to input the notes in a git repository. This is a
-typical source file. It begins with a stylesheet where I set variables
-and layout settings, although in general, there's no need for tweaking
-the layout unless you have specific requirements to do so. The easiest
-way to compile the file from Emacs is by pressing C-c C-l, so let's do
-this now, and the compilation buffer will tell you if there were any
-errors in the file. Now to automate the process of compiling several
-files and building the PDF, I use GNU Make, so all I have to do is
-open the shell and run the make command. Don't worry, I'll provide a
-link to the source code on the last slide.
-
-(06:41) As I moved forward with the project, I found at least two things
-missing. One, I had no access to a metronome, at least not from the
-editor, so I built one for casual use and made it available in the
-MELPA repository. I also missed bar numbers in the source file. This
-is useful when going back and forth between input and output files
-without getting lost. So I wrote a command for toggling bar numbers,
-which I hope you can see on the left. Also, some expressions are
-difficult or slow to write on the keyboard-- accents and tuplets, for
-example--so I use template expansion extensively for this purpose,
-mainly yasnippet.
-
-(07:23) So what do I think? Well, I think Lilypond can be a
-sharp paradigm shift for people used to GUI alternatives, but the
-results are impressive. You don't have to dive too deeply to start
-using Lilypond. Likewise, the ability to extend the software, I think,
-is especially appealing for music professionals, enthusiasts,
-composers, and the academic community: for example, allowing users to
-create alternative notation systems required in non-Western music
-traditions and other non-conventional requirements. Also, Lilypond and
-Emacs both have extensive and well-written manuals and active
-communities of users. But if you're still not sure where to start and
-when to wedge your feet in the deep but warm pond of lilies, Lilypond,
-and Lilypond users, I invite you to contribute to my Lilypond
-projects, which you can do so from the links on the screen. So, thank
-you all. I look forward to your comments, and I hope you enjoy the
-rest of the conference.

# Transcript
-Hello, my name is Grant Shangreaux. This is my talk titled Bard
-Bivou(m)acs: Publishing Music with Emacs. I'm a software developer
-with Unabridged Software in Lincoln, Nebraska. Long time Emacs user,
-relatively new Emacs hacker. Hopefully, I'll be able to show you my
-workflow, with how I publish music with Emacs. All right.
-
-(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">00:30</a>)
-So as a musician, I would like to publish my music online. I could
-publish with popular online music services, but I'm more of a
-DIY-type, so I chose to go ahead and publish with Emacs. What's the
-motivation behind this? A lot of it comes down to some fundamental
-freedoms that Emacs and GNU software represent to me, as well as my
-ideas on culture and my background. I don't believe that music is a
-consumer good. It's a form of knowledge, like an algorithm. And it's
-just such a part of culture, like in tribal cultures, music was seen
-as a gift from the cosmos or the gods. It was a gift maybe through an
-individual vessel, but was shared with the people and shared with
-everyone, kept alive by the culture itself. So to me, music is
-something that should be shared and should be freely enjoyed by
-everyone. Of course, artists should be compensated as well, but that's
-a whole different topic.
-
-(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link" data-timestamp="99">01:39</a>)
-So when I want to share my music, I want to do it without
-impacting anyone's freedom. Using GNU software like Emacs is a good
-way that I can ensure that I won't be requiring people to sign away
-their freedoms for anything. There's a lot more I could say about this
-but I don't have time. Feel free to reach out to me by email or IRC.
-Part of the motivation for me, personally, is that Emacs is super
-magical. It's an all-in-one solution. Like I said, the GNU software
-aligns with Creative Commons' ideas. I can do file management. I can
-author HTML, all the web stuff I need even, literate-style. I can
-handle media and metadata. I've got version control, remote server
-access... All the tools I need are right under my fingertips with this
-tool that I use every day for a long time. I don't need to look
-elsewhere.
-
-(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">02:31</a>)
-It was a challenge. I wanted to see if I could do this all
-within Emacs itself. So, how do you use Emacs to publish music? Well,
-for me, I needed a couple of things. I needed to be able to audition
-and label unlabeled audio tracks. I have a lot of files that I don't
-know where they came from. I don't know what they are. I need to be
-able to listen to them, and I need to be able to add metadata to
-whatever audio format it is and rename the files based on that
-metadata, potentially. And in the end, I wanted to take those files
-and programmatically produce a web page for people to consume.
-
-(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">03:08</a>)
-I found out that Emacs scores a hundred percent on all of
-these requirements that I had for this, and a lot of that came from
-EMMS, the Emacs multimedia system. EMMS is great. If you haven't
-checked it out, please do. It's a little bit unintuitive, but once you
-get into it, you know it works. Basically, what EMMS gave me was the
-ability to listen to the tracks, organize playlists. On top of that,
-it gave me super-powered metadata authoring.
-
-(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">03:42</a>)
-I'm going to demonstrate that to you. So in order to do this,
-you have to require markable playlists, so (require 'emms-mark). I'm
-going to go through, and I'm going to open the red... I've got this.
-These files here. So you can see these files are mp3s. They're
-recorded on a digital recorder. If I had the choice, I would have a
-recorder that used a different format, but so be it. I can mark all
-these files and I can do EMMS add to .., and now they've been loaded
-into a playlist. So you can see the playlist here. There's some
-leftover files.
-
-(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">04:30</a>)
-So I've got these three files in my playlist, and as
-you can see, it's just the file name, the path. I don't have any
-metadata associated with them. In this playlist, I can hit E, and
-it'll bring up a buffer showing the tag information that I have. I
-could edit these here. I could edit them one at a time, but that's not
-really great. I want superpower metadata authoring. So, by marking
-them, I can then hit E, and I have all three of the tracks loaded up
-in this tags buffer. On top of that, I can do EMMS tag editor, set
-all, C-c C-r, and I want to set the artist. so these are some
-recordings of my family. So, Shangreaux, set all three of them. I want
-to set the album: Spring Walk with Lap Harp. I want to set the year.
-And then I'm going to go ahead and put these in manually, but with the
-power of Emacs keyboard macros and registers and so on. I could do
-this programmatically as well, which would make it a lot easier if I
-had much more than three files to do this with. Submit the changes
-with C-c C-c, and now we've got the playlist. You can see the artist
-and track number have been updated here.
-
-(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">6:15</a>)
-And then the final piece of this is that if you look at this,
-you can see that the file name is still the same. So if I were looking
-at the directory, I would still have this file name. When packaging
-these up for a release, for people to download, it's nice to be able
-to have that filename reflect the track number and the artist and so
-on. So there's another command, EMMS rename tag editor, rename, so it
-could be just capital R. I think I need to mark all of these, hit
-capital R, and then it's going to ask me to confirm and say yes to all
-of them. And now, if you look in the-- whoops I have to update
-it--you'll see it's been updated with the artist, track number and
-track name. This format is a format string, so it's customizable of
-course. I just decided to go with the default.
-
-(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">7:21</a>)
-So that's pretty great, this workflow just with EMMS. I didn't
-have to do anything. This is all there. It's all built in. It gave me
-exactly what I was looking for in terms of being able to process a lot
-of raw audio files add metadata to them and get them ready for
-publishing. And this is for publishing for playback in any media
-player. It'll be useful. Not just for the web page that I'm building.
-
-(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">7:48</a>)
-So the final part, of course, is to build the web page. Emacs
-makes authoring HTML trivial. As I was going through this, I wanted to
-challenge myself and just be, like, can I do this just all with Emacs?
-Can I just make this? I don't need a... I don't need Ruby. I don't
-need Rails. I don't need Node. I don't need any of this other stuff. I
-have my tool right here. It's a fully... It's a whole operating
-system, basically, plus programming languages. So the first thing I
-started with was buffer scripting for manipulating text. That's kind
-of the easiest way to do it. Basically, anything you can do in a
-buffer, you can do programmatically with Elisp. So this might be a
-good example for beginners. If you haven't done any Elisp yet, a
-simple example is to create this this div output here. You can use
-this with-temp-buffer, so basically creating an imaginary buffer.
-insert is just like typing, so you put strings in, you put new lines
-in, you can build some strings together. Here you can see I'm doing a
-random number, so every time I execute this, my content change. I
-can generate dynamic content in HTML blocks with Elisp.
-
-(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">9:04</a>)
-For my web page builder, It's a little more complex. I'm
-pulling data out using EMMS data structures, so it's pulling that out
-from the track data. And then I'm using some program to generate list
-elements, so each track is going to have the title and track number,
-and then a button for playing it, plus the source of the audio file,
-which will get added here. Right now, this is hard coded for Opus, so
-it won't work for my MP3s. I'm going to skip over snippets. Turns out
-format strings were good enough for me. Snippets could be useful, but
-format is super powerful, and I didn't really even need all that much
-power, basically, just doing string interpolation. So if you haven't
-seen format before, you basically put these control strings or control
-characters inside of a string, and you can generate an output string
-that you want. So in my generator code, basically, it's down here, I'm
-calling format with this Bard Bivou(m)acs template, and that's
-basically a big a big string of HTML. It's just my whole page of HTML
-with those control characters in just four places. One of them
-populates the track list. That's really the meat of the program.
-Again, this is a combination of using buffer scripting, using HTML
-mode, inserting text format strings, and then I can indent-region so
-the HTML actually looks pretty when it comes out of it as well. I will
-show that, just really quick actually. So you can see, this is the
-HTML that got generated. I've got my template. I inserted the title
-here, the style, the font was all inserted, and then this whole list
-of of tracks here. It's kind of messy to look at, but this track list,
-this whole div here, is all generated by my generator code, and it
-works. It's great. Okay, moving on.
-
-(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">11:27</a>)
-So the other thing was that as I was developing this, I
-decided to use Org Babel and some of his its features for
-multi-language things because I needed to style it with CSS and and
-put actions in Javascript, and also I used SVG for authoring stuff. It
-was a little bit complicated. It probably would have been simpler had
-I not used Org Babel, but it's also really fun. I think it's a cool,
-cool idea to use literate programming. My idea was to create HTML
-components. I could name it like this, put a format string inside it,
-and build a function in Elisp to format it and spit out the HTML that
-I want. By doing this, then, I can just change things in my Org file
-which, not getting a whole lot of time to work on it, I can come back
-to it and I have a lot of notes. I can kind of generate things as I'm
-going and keep notes for myself, and keep the... I don't know. It's
-cool. Literate programming is fun. So I don't need to go into that too
-much, but you can see if I execute this here, I get the the div that I
-want. It's a little bit funny. You'll see I have the string like this,
-the way that noweb expands, I can't do this on a single line. It looks
-funny when you do that, so that might be something to work out later.
-CSS blocks can either be tangled out and referenced in the HTML source
-or inlined. Here's an example I have of inlining it. So I've got my
-little CSS block named style, Javascript named script, and then I've
-got this HTML source block with noweb expansion. These double angle
-brackets here are where I'm going to expand the block named style. I'm
-actually calling a function, so I want the result of the function
-here, and then the script will just get expanded here. So
-org-babel-expand-src-block, you can see what it looks like. I've got
-my style here. I've got my title. I've got that main content class I
-showed before, and the script as well. So that's kind of cool. I could
-just run org-babel-tangle and get my thing out and just edit one file
-instead of multiple files. Not for everyone, but I thought it was kind
-of fun. All right.
-
-(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">13:45</a>)
-Oh, and the final thing is that in Emacs, you can author and
-view SVG. So this is just an Org. This SVG, I used to make the play
-and pause buttons. I didn't know this, but if you edit an SVG file,
-you can toggle back and forth between the code and the image. It's
-pretty sweet. So I can iteratively work through this because of how
-Emacs is.
-
-(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">14:20</a>)
-Final considerations here, like when doing this, I want it to
-be all free, so I want to use fonts that use a free license. I found
-GNU Unifont. It's kind of cool. The content license... I chose
-Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike, which is kind of like the
-GPL. Ideally, I could serve it with Emacs. I'd like to remove
-idiosyncrasy so other people can use it. It's pretty much just my tool
-right now. Not requiring the web browser... I can ship playlists so
-that you can just click or link to a playlist on your favorite player,
-even EMMS if you want, and then packing up those albums in like a ZIP
-or .tar file.
-
-(<a href="#mainVideo" class="time-link">15:04</a>)
-So you can go to churls.world . It just has a link to this
-album. I'll display it here in just a second. You can contact me. I'm
-shoshin on #emacs in IRC and on sourcehut. You can email me
-grant@churls.world, personal, or grant@unabridgedsoftware.com. All
-right, now. Let's see about this... This is up online, so if you want
-to listen to my college band's album from 20 years ago, here it is:
-Casiopeia Basement Days. Whoops. I made this art in Krita. You can
-press play. You can skip around. I do have the playlist up here too.
-So yeah, thanks for listening. I hope you enjoyed it, and enjoy the
-rest of EmacsConf. Goodbye!

-# Transcript: Q&A
-
-So first question, what does Bard Bivou(m)acs mean? Good question. In
-one version of my talk, I spent too long explaining it, and decided to
-cut it out. It's basically a bad pun on band camp. A bivouac--I don't
-even know if I'm pronouncing that correctly--it's like a tent or a
-camp that you put up hastily, and a bard is a musician, of course.
-Yeah, I don't know. I like puns. I'm a dad. That's the best I could
-come up with. I'll probably find a different name for it but I liked
-that "bivoaucs," if you stick an m in there, it becomes Bivou(m)acs.
-It's kind of like editor macros for generating some HTML. Yes, it is
-confusing, chatting on IRC at the same time. Great question. (Amin:
-Grant, so right now, you're sharing your screen. Are you planning on
-showing something with it, or for example, should I maximize you?) I
-don't know. I can turn it off for now. Okay. (Amin: You can turn on
-the webcam.) Yeah, okay. (Amin: I'll maximize your webcam.) Okay,
-thanks. I'll get to the answer for my color theme here in a bit in
-IRC.

-Next question on the Etherpad, does this metadata workflow also
-support unsynchronized lyrics within ID3 tags, multi-line metadata? I
-don't know, actually. It's funny because I was trying out different
-things with metadata, and really the biggest thing was to figure out
-how to do mass tag editing. And that was like... It wasn't very
-intuitive, like I said, with EMMS. I think EMMS is really great, but
-its interface is huge. like if you do M-x and type emms, you get I
-don't know, 270-some candidates. There's a lot of functions going on.
-I basically found the features that I needed to get this workflow
-working. I would guess that you probably can do it, and if you don't,
-if you can't do it out of the box, I think you could script EMMS to do
-that. I'd like to know more, and I'm certainly going to be
-investigating it. I will try and post my findings somewhere online.
-
-(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">2:39</a>)
-Is it possible to import batch metadata? I'm not sure. I would
-guess yes is the answer. EMMS can connect to metadata services. I
-haven't done that because I was just using audio files that I created
-myself. I know that on the back end, it calls out to shell programs
-for tagging things. there's a lot of different options that can shell
-out too. I was using the the vorbis tools to tag the particular files
-I was working with. You can also use tiny tag, and there's some
-other... That might be the python library. I can't remember. There's
-two other libraries that I can shell out to for doing metadata.
-
-(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">3:24</a>)
-My current workflow for tagging music is to first apply replay
-gain in fubar 2000, fix egregious mistakes, use beats to apply
-metadata from music brains, or discogs, go over remaining albums with
-fubar 2000 again. Is there a chance textual tagging could allow doing
-it all in one program? Have I experimented with mass tag update
-queries? I have not. Again, I was just doing this workflow, taking raw
-files with no tags and doing that. I believe because it calls out to
-the programs in the back end, I'm sure you could work that out. I
-think EMMS would benefit from having something like that because we
-work with text, and being able to use Emacs as a front end for those
-updates would be really fantastic. So really, it's just a matter of
-writing the interface to the external tool.
-
-(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">4:22</a>)
-Is there a link to some info expanding philosophy of how to
-compensate musicians? No, I don't really have a lot of philosophy
-around that. I guess the first thing I could say would be something
-like a universal income. I feel like that would solve a lot of
-problems, if musicians could just be musicians and not have to worry
-about their pay. I will think about it more. This is one of my first
-forays into getting public with some of these ideas, so I will try to
-do more and let the community know.
-
-(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">4:54</a>)
-What Emacs theme am I using? Can't remember. It's one of the
-Kaolin themes. I think it was Aurora or or Bubble Gum, maybe, but the
-Kaolin themes are nice. I recommend them. Not using Doom Emacs, Doom
-mode line though. It's very pretty.
-
-(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">5:17</a>)
-SVG support built into Emacs? I'm using Emacs 27.1, and yes,
-SVG support is built in. I may have had to compile it with some Cairo
-support. I don't remember for sure. But yes, you can even take
-screenshots of your Emacs from within Emacs in SVG. It's pretty great.
-I don't know how much more time we have left for questions. That's
-most of the things on the etherpad. (Amin: I think we have like 10
-more minutes to catch up with the schedule. If there are more
-questions, feel free to answer them.) I'll start looking through IRC.
-(Amin: And keep an eye on the pad too.) Thank you all for listening
-and for enjoying the talk. I'm glad it turned out well. Awesome. Yeah,
-it's been fun so far. How did I manage? I can post a snippet of that,
-or actually I can share my screen, can't I... Okay. I actually have it
-up right here.
-
-(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">6:49</a>)
-So I think I got this from alphapapa, to be honest. I define
-screenshot-svg. It's an interactive command. Oh yeah, there's
-alphae.papa Okay, there we go. I would like to change this so that I
-can get it into the copy-paste buffer so I don't have to copy the file
-in, but I haven't really hacked on it yet.
-
-(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">7:20</a>)
-Okay, org heading colors. That might be a good question. I know, the
-presentation... Sorry, it's hard to think and type at the same time.
-Think and talk and type.

-So the presentation is just a normal org file, right, so I have my
-headers, and the author--you can even stick your email and other
-headers in there. But there's a package called org-tree-slide. Whoops,
-why is it not... I must have not required it. Good question. (Amin:
-Grant, can you try sharing your screen maybe?) Oh, is it not shared?
-I'm sorry. (Amin: Thank you.) There we go, should be coming up. (Amin:
-It's coming up. Yep, we see it.) Awesome. All right. Okay. I don't
-know why this isn't working. It was working. Okay, you want to see the
-screenshot. Whoops. Okay, I just took a screenshot. So, org-tree-slide.
-I don't know why it's not launching. I thought that I had required it,
-but I must not have. Maybe I'll try. Okay. So there we go. So
-org-tree-slide is a way that basically uses narrowing and some kind of
-font tricks to... it changes your titles or your metadata into this
-banner for the title here, and it automatically sets the faces for
-you. You can customize that, of course. And then, as you go through
-the Org file, you get these kind of nice animations and-- what's it
-called--breadcrumbs up at the top. So org-tree-slide. I highly
-recommend it. It's really nice because you can give your presentation
-and practice it, and while you're practicing it, you can edit things
-as well, because it's still just an Org document using narrowing, you
-know. It doesn't actually change anything. Definitely recommend
-org-tree-slide mode. Okay, let's see, what else...
-
-(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">10:29</a>)
-Share my screen to demo. Oh, that's the SVG. Let's see. Okay, so I
-don't know if you can see this now, but I'm actually viewing the SVG
-screenshot that I took with Emacs. See here's the source of it. So
-Emacs made that. And here's the image. It's cool because you can even
-do it again and again, and open more screenshots of screenshots. Yeah,
-definitely Emacsception. Fun stuff. Anything else in chat? Heading
-colors? Oh, yeah. I talked about the themes. This is another Kaolin
-theme. I think the one in the talk was maybe this one, Aurora. Oh,
-here, there's something funny when you start org-tree-slide with a
-different theme. This top header bar gets the faces from that previous
-theme. I have not figured out how to fix that yet. Did I have to
-compile to get the screenshot? I think maybe I did. Yes, if I'm
-remembering correctly. I got Emacs 27. I'm not on a Mac. I saw
-alphapapa's comment on reddit, and then I recompiled it with Cairo
-support. Yes.
-
-(<a href="#qnaVideo" class="time-link">12:18</a>)
-Okay, lots of good conversation on here. Yep, I have like one or two
-more minutes. Okay I guess while I'm here, I might as well say thank
-you to the organizers. I really appreciate everybody's work on this.
-It's fun to be a part of this community. I'm enjoying the other talks
-I've seen so far today, and I'm looking forward to to the rest. It's
-really interesting, just from being on Emacs in IRC for a few months,
-I've already connected with a lot of interesting people and have a lot
-of cool connections already. (Amin: Thank you for being a part of the
-community, Grant.) That's good to be here. I have another talk
-tomorrow as well. Oh, thanks for everyone in the Etherpad for putting
-more comments on these questions here and taking the notes. (Amin: I
-think that's about all the time that we have for the Q&A. Okay. Thank
-you again so much, Grant, for your awesome talk and for popping in for
-questions.) Yeah, thanks again for hosting. See you later. Cheers!

# Transcript
-Following is a somewhat hasty self-transcription of my talk. Please
-don't hesitate to [mailto:corwin@bru.st](ask for clarification) or to
-add any clarifications you feel helpful back into the EmacsConf wiki.
-
There is a visual gimmick underlaying the initial remarks. We are
looking at the first (first-slide ("Welcome") showing how the org
markdown looks on other editors, including cygwin emacs, Notepad++,
Sublime, VS Code, and cygwin vim. As each is closed we see the next,
until we reveal GUI Emacs running org-mode in a full-both frame.
-My name is Corwin Brust and I will be talking about getting started
-with Emacs Today. I have been an Emacs user for a long time-
-
-First of all thanks and a huge welcome to the conference..(_15s_)
-
-On behalf of and back to the other organizers. It has been cool to
-have a peek backstage.
-
-So. I've used a lot of different editors in my time. That's about 25
-years as a professional software engineer. And most of that
-time I've been using Emacs. (~54s_)
-
-I'll talk a little bit in a minute (if I can ever find my slides)
-about how I got into Emacs, but if you've used Emacs and a lot of
-other editors for a long time, something that you notice right away is
-that you get good with it in a way that stays meaningful. You learn
-new things, those things stick with you. You learn how to- how to
-make it do new tricks and then keep doing those tricks. (~1m26s_)
-
-I want to mention this conference isn't about (whoops: "this talk")
-how to adjust your configuration specifically. I don't have a bunch
-of good code samples in here. There are a bunch of other great talks,
-especially Andrew's that I think may be aimed more at that "hey, I'm
-just getting started with Emacs what are some things to try to make it
-more comfortable for me starting?" [subject/audience? cezb]. (~2m07s_)
-
-This is about how to think about the problem space more. (_2m10s_)
-
-Hopefully a good way to warm up as we start thinking about some of the
-lightning talks later on. (I'm going to bring up my IRC buffer
-[offscreen] in case I run into time- I didn't get my stopwatch started
-for this one.) (_2m25s_)
-
-So, alright: let's dive in. (_2m30s_)
-
-We assume that we want to install packages, and maybe configure some
-features. This is particularly from the perspective of where we're
-working with a bunch of others on a team and we want to get something
-done. (_2m42s_)
-
-Some of us probably have mature Emacs workflows, others may be
-installing it for the first time. (_2m50s_)
-
-So the first questions is, you know- in that context: what's the value
-proposition? Why should I mess with my machine, my mature Emacs
-configuration, impose my way of thinking and ideas over the way
-somebody else is learning Emacs? (_3m09m_)
-
-It can be [laugh] I'm off my slides here a little bit.. (_3m13s_)
-
-It can be a little tricky to learn Emacs. One thing that helps us a
-lot is if people that we are working with can tell us, kinda,
-keystroke-for-keystroke at times what to do and explain what
-everything is doing. (_3m30s_)
-
-And using the same packages as others can really help us working
-together on a project. (_3m36s_)
-
-Speaking from my personal experience, it took me decades to get to the
-point where I was excited to program in Emacs Lisp. (_3m26s_)
-
-I've programed in a lot of programming languages, but Lisp wasn't on
-my list. I looked at my config, that I was copy-pasting around from
-generation after generation of .emacs file or re-crafting it by hand
-and from Internet searches, to get things that I needed when I would
-quickly go install Emacs to start some new job or contract, and
-quickly get though that work-flow that caused me to go install the
-program. (_4m15s_)
-
-You know, just simple little one-liners that got committed to memory
-over decades eventually just lead [me] to a sort of "hey, what's going
-on here". (_4m27s_)
-
-And I credit my good friend Jeff Goff who died earlier in 2020 for my
-lifelong love of Emacs. Perhaps Erik and I will talk a little more
-about that at another talk we have scheduled but Jeff was a huge
-influence on us in a number of ways and a huge contributer to the Raku
-programming language which is very cool. (_4m52s_)
-
-So, understanding how to make a good decision about splitting up
-configuration in a way to share it with people with really different
-uses of Emacs. That's actually a complicated topic, and I want to off
-and stare at it for a second: (_5m11s_)
-
-I think Emacs is about people, so that means it is about community.
-And community means we're going to invite disagreement. In fact that
-disagreement isn't necessarily a road-block to our project, in fact
-that some of the work our project can invite us to do is to get closer
-to each other by inviting those disagreements, by learning from people
-of different styles, and from how they argue, and thinking about why
-they have that perspective and what technical benefits that perhaps
-radical point of view might carry away. Some people are really
-aggressive arguers others are very passive and really couch their
-ideas in distancing terms, "well probably this is a good idea" or
-"please double check me". Those don't always indicate how certain a
-person is. Because we're different. We have different ways of
-communicating ideas such as certainty or excitement. (_6m23s_)
-
-When we thinking about a bunch of really diverse programmers
-approaching Emacs probably one of our first really big challenges is
-just to pick what we're going to go after. There are a number of
-existing kit installs and things like this. My argument is that you
-can get pretty far just trading files around. And maybe the more
-value conversation to have is making the hard decisions, e.g. "should
-we have vertical completion", should that be out of the box and those
-that want the traditional splayed-out over a sing line such as the
-mode line will have to add a line to their configuration. (_7m26s)
-
-The way to get there?
-
-How do we find out what works?
-
-We don't want to slow down the people who are super productive with
-Emacs, and ask them to completely break their workflows to make it
-easier for new folks, at the same time we do want to make sure those
-new people. (_7m42s_)
-
-At the same time, we do want to make sure those new people arre
-excited by Emacs and not turned off by having to learn the entire
-jungle of Emacs history in the form of it's unique technical stylings
-in terms of frames, buffers, and other unique Emacs viewpoints on
-interface concepts, especially. (_8m15s_)
-
-The encouragement here is to keep using the project team as a
-crucible. Rather than following the defaults of, um, finding the
-simplest customizations that generally work, what if we tried to look
-for fairly specific configuration that we'll expect basically all of
-our developers to be using, at least when the submit bug
-reports. (_8m48s_)
-
-In particular with this, I think that degree of experimentation can
-drive back into the Emacs development process. In the development
-mailing list.. [] In the context of Emacs development as a greater
-entity, we see this struggle. We have the sense that some things can
-"never" be change. I think one thing that can help us get there is
-evidence that says "hey, my 30-40 person team is using this set of
-bindings and here is what we learned about new Emacs users coming in
-and trying that". (10m)
-
-So let's just recap real quick: in theory Emacs works out of the
-box. That means we are free to throw it all away and start over.
-[trouble with slides, again]
-
-Our goal is to enable users- to unlock our computers, to do as much
-with them as possible. My work of encouragement is experiment with it.
-And think really specifically about how the development users may be
-different from each other, as you are configuring the development
-environment of emacs for developing on a project.
-
-That's my talk, etc, answer any questions.(_12m09s_)
-
-Do you use Emacs as a Community Building Tool? (_13m15s_)
-
-Do /i/ use Emacs a community building tool? Or *how* do I use Emacs as a
-community building tool. [amin: "it doesn't say"]
-
-Yes, absolutely. I think Emacs is an ambassador to the gnu
-tool-chain. in the fullness of time we will see an Emacs that will
-make others, Android and iOS, dream. That's why that mock us and say
-that Emacs is an operating system. It's because it could be, if cared
-for it to be. It's quite a threatening product in terms of the number
-of problem spaces it can address, how many types of users it can
-satisfy. (_13m01s_)
-
-And the things that we can do to make it robust in those environments.
-We're always thinking about the weak points but is Emacs a community
-building tool? Heck yeah. (_13m13s_)
-
-[we agree that I'll write my answers to the remaining questions, I say
-thanks more, and we're done. ps, I'll get to your question or
-comments I can find a response to within the next week, I expect]

+(00:04) Hi. I'm Zachary Kanfer, and this is waving at repetitive
+repetitive repetitive music. Over quarantine, I've been bored, and I
+found this Android app that has a bunch of mini-games, one of which
+lets you compose music. And it works, but I want a little bit more
+functionality than it offers, it's not very flexible. So, I thought
+what if I made this, and what programs could I make this in that are
+really flexible, are really customizable. Emacs. So, I looked into
+it, and Emacs can play sounds, right? If you hit control g a couple of
+times, you'll hear like an error tone, and it turns out that, that is
+actually playing a WAVE file, but what's a WAVE file?
+
+(00:58) Well, it turns out that WAVE is a musical file format, or
+really an annoying file format. So, data in it can be an unsigned
+integer or a signed integer, it's not consistent, and it's
+little-endian by default which is not the way I like to think about
+it. Now, you can set a WAVE file to be big-endian, but if you do
+that, Emacs can't play it. So, little-endian it is. There's also
+duplicate data fields. Here are some fields that are fine, but then
+there's a fourth field that's calculated based on multiplying two of
+the other ones together, and then there's another data field that's…
+you multiply those three ones together. So, it's just repetitive and
+unnecessary, but you have to do it, or it's not a valid WAVE file.
+Also, the last part of the file is described as data or as one website
+I found said, the actual sound data.
+
+(02:04) Now, I don't know about you but when I see that, I think, what
+is data? It turns out that sound is just a wave, and the data is just
+a bunch of measurements of the height of that wave forming each
+sample. So, this wave starts at 8 goes 9, 11, 13, 14, 15, and then
+back down. If you just take those measurements, those numbers, put
+them in a file, that's all your data is.
+
+(02:35) All right. Let's go to a demo of my program. So, this is what
+zmusic looks like. The blue highlighted row is a single beat, there's
+16 of them in this zmusic file, and each dash in the row is a single
+note increasing…, starting really low all the way on the left and
+going up as we go to the right. So, if we started playing, we won't
+hear anything, but we'll see the highlighted beat is the currently
+playing one, and we see that it loops. So, we can stop it, and now we
+can click to add some notes. [Music] Even more than one note at the
+same time works. [Music] And we can even add notes while it's
+playing. [Music]
+
+(04:08) Okay, here are some other features that I didn't have time to
+demo. So, you can save the music to a file, and this is interesting
+because normally if there's no note in a beat, we just don't play that
+beat, but if you're writing to a file you have to put something in, so
+when it's playing it knows to not make a sound there. We can also use
+different scales. We're using the minor pentatonic in the demo, but
+you can use the major scale the minor scale or anything else. And
+there's also keyboard support, but it sounds really bad, and I'll
+explain why later.
+
+(04:48) Here are some things I learned while writing zmusic. Emacs
+has buttons which are great as long as you don't put two of them right
+next to each other. So, if you do that, mousing over one of them
+highlights both of them. Now, that's because a button is really just
+a series of characters with a text property to highlight them. So,
+the fix is, you put another character between the two buttons, then
+mousing over one of them only highlights the one you want, but even
+this doesn't work really great for zmusic, because zmusic has a lot of
+very small buttons in a row. So, it's really easy to accidentally put
+your cursor over the space and click on that instead of the button.
+So, I looked into unicode, and I found this character called a
+zero-width space. So, we should be able to put that between buttons
+and not be able to accidentally click on it. Unfortunately, a
+zero-width space isn't actually zero width. If we put a hundred of
+them between two other characters, you can see there's space there,
+and I think what's happening is, the space is zero width but then
+Emacs `put` uses one pixel between each pair of characters for the
+cursor, so it's almost zero width. Some ways to play sound that don't
+quite work! `play-sound` plays music, but it blocks, you can't do
+things like, set other notes or even pause the music. And if you
+throw it into async.el, it's silent, and I don't know why. So, the
+solution I went with is taking that WAVE file, ran into the file
+system, and then shelling out to a native executable to play the
+sound. And that works fine as long as you only do it once, because if
+you do it a couple of times at the same time like if you have a chord,
+and you want to play three notes simultaneously, you get this weird
+interference, and that's actually why the keyboard from before didn't
+work. Also, side effects have this unexpected impact, when you saw
+the demo it was running pretty smoothly, but if I just add one message
+statement every beat for debugging purposes, I was getting lag and
+jitter.
+
+(07:03) Here's the one thing I learned about music theory, music
+theory is not easy to program. I was looking around to see what
+concepts we can use to code the scales, to code the notes, the first
+thing that I saw is scale degrees, and this when I looked into it, you
+don't want to program in scale degrees. So, you see we have the
+first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh but then it wraps
+around. That octave up is also a first, and that's because both of
+those notes are C, so that didn't work, and also you couldn't really
+easily specify a flat or sharp. You could say a sharp third or you
+know, a flat seventh or whatever, but then you kind of have these two
+pieces of data that indicate the note, and I didn't love that.
+
+(07:55) So, I looked again, and I found intervals, and then I thought
+about it, and you don't really want to program in intervals either.
+It fixes some of the problems with scale degrees, you see, all the way
+on the right you have an octave, so you wrap to 8, and you go 9, 10
+and that works. But you solve the same problem, you see you have a
+major third but below we also have a minor third, so you saw that
+problem of having two pieces of information.
+
+(08:20) So, I thought about it. Music is really frequencies. Like an A
+is 440 hertz. So, at a low level that's what we're going to do, we're
+just going to use frequencies. And then at the one level above that,
+that's a little bit easier for humans to think about, we're going to
+use semitones up from the root, which is kind of like scale degrees,
+but instead of just counting each note as one more, we're going to say
+how many semitones up it is. So, if there's a sharp between two
+notes, that's going to be two steps up instead of just one. And then
+we translate those two frequencies, so your A is 440 hertz, another
+note might be 613.5, or whatever, and that's we use the low level to
+play.
+
+(09:02) Some future work I have, I want to add some drums. I want to
+make that keyboard actually work, and computers and synthesizers are
+the only place you hear a pure sine wave like the one we have here, so
+I want to add overtones or other octaves above it just to make it
+sound a little bit more realistic. I've put notes references and the
+source code up at <https://zck.org/emacsconf2020> [updated]. I'm one
+of the organizers of EmacsNYC check that out. And if you take a look
+or have any thoughts, I'd love to hear them, and thanks so much for
+coming to my talk.

+# Transcript: Q&A
+
+(00:09) Okay, yeah, so I'm Zachary Kanfer, let's go to the
+questions. The first question, "Why do we go top to bottom for time
+progression, and left to right for low to high?" Interesting, I
+think…, so the initial thing I was copying, that initial app work this
+way, and yeah, I mean, certainly traditional music, you know, on a
+staff does go left to right like this. I mean, going top to bottom
+does make it easier to add more beats without having to wrap, but
+certainly that could be managed. Yeah, I had not really thought about
+it, but it is definitely something worth looking into.
+
+(01:21) Two, "Will you play us another song?" Not now, I can make some
+recordings of it, or certainly you can try it. I couldn't quite get
+the microphone and the webcam and everything to work with the sound
+playing now. So, I can record some. Also, I have put a link in the
+Etherpad, <https://zck.org/emacsconf2020> [updated], where you can go
+and get the source, and you can try it yourself. There's no
+dependencies needed, so it's just all in Emacs. So, please, you know,
+try it yourself.
+
+(01:57) "Any chance for an Emacs tracker or mod player?" I don't
+really know what a mod player or tracker are, but I mean, I'm sure
+that would be cool, maybe there's one on now, but I don't know.
+
+(02:11) My musical background. So, I've played various instruments
+since about the third grade. Started recorder, play cello, I play
+guitar now. But yeah, so just kind of random instruments, and I guess
+kind of some of those things influence how I think about music.
+
+(02:33) "Are there any open source musical management sample libraries
+that could be used?" Good question, I'm sure there are, I don't know
+any of that integrate really well with Emacs. One of the cool things
+that I liked about this is that there are no dependencies, you know,
+you don't need any external program to generate the music. I mean, it
+does shell out to to play, but that should be able to be done on any
+operating system, as always, you have something that can play WAVE
+files, but yeah, it is interesting to kind of try the different sounds
+and different tones that you could get with different instruments.
+
+(03:14) Have I written any actual songs? Nothing super well put
+together, I kind of just been playing around with this. It's kind of…
+making this was one of those things where once I made it, I was like,
+okay, now I can play with it, and I did a little bit, and was like, I
+don't know if I feel like it right now. You know, which I've found
+that to be the case with some things that I've implemented in Emacs
+where it's… I make it, and then it's the kind of some of the desire to
+use it all the time goes away, but I'm sure I'll circle back around at
+some point especially kind of maybe once I add in different tones or
+something.
+
+(03:54) I guess a similar question for pre-recorded sounds. Yeah, I
+mean, if it's… part of what I did, what I wrote was a WAVE generation
+library, so, if you kind of have the data, you could use those and
+chop them up and take certain lengths of them and make a WAVE file, so
+it's not plug and play right now, but you could certainly add those
+notes to do it.
+
+(04:19) "Any MIDI mapping possibilities?" I haven't looked into it,
+but I'm sure you definitely could output to MIDI which is another
+benefit of having that multiple layers with the top layer is just, you
+know, if the root note is this, we're just two semitones up or seven
+semitones up or whatever it is. It should be relatively simple to
+kind of switch out that layer underneath from WAVE to MIDI or other
+things.
+
+(04:44) "What were some of the challenges with writing a special mode
+for Emacs?" Interested in getting into this, not sure where to start.
+This isn't the first mode I've written, so that's right…, certainly
+that helps. I actually… I have a video that we recorded it as part of
+EmacsNYC on making a major mode. That's basically starts from
+nothing, and kind of builds up to an implementation of tic-tac-toe,
+but so it kind of goes into printing things out and buttons and making
+the mode. I mean, one of the best parts about Emacs is, because it's
+so configurable and so introspectible, you can start pretty simply,
+and just kind of ask Emacs about things, and then make one little
+change. It's really… it's not that bad, so, I'll try to throw a link
+up on that page I put up, or please email me for whoever asked this
+question to get a link to that video, or just look at the source code
+of this or any other major mode. Emacs makes it pretty easy to extend
+major modes.
+
+(05:54) And I think that's the last question in the Etherpad, so,
+thanks so much everybody for coming. (Amin: Thank you so much to
+Zachary for your awesome talk, and for doing live questions. Thank
+you.) Thank you. (Amin: Cheers.)

# Transcript
-Hello, I'm Richard Stallman, founder of the GNU project. In 1976, I
-developed the first Emacs editor with some help from Guy Steele.
-Then, shortly after starting to develop the GNU operating system in
-1984, I wanted an Emacs editor for it. So I started writing GNU Emacs
-in September 1984.
-
-(00:29) Several years ago we decided to move many of the Emacs Lisp
-packages outside the core Emacs distribution into a separate package
-archive that we call the Emacs Lisp package archive ELPA. There were
-two main reasons for this. One is to make the Emacs distribution
-smaller so every user wouldn't have to get all the packages and
-install all the packages. And the other reason was to make it possible
-to release individual packages separately from Emacs releases.
-
-(01:08) Now, at that point somehow we decided to support loading
-packages from a variety of different Emacs Lisp package archives and
-ours would be called the GNU ELPA, but ELPA could be any other. Now, I
-think that naming was a mistake. We should have meant, we should have
-decided that ELPA referred to our package archive and any other
-package archive should be called some other name. Oh, well! Uh this is
-a mistake I believe, because it leads to a lot of confusion it would
-have been clearer if we had uh used the other naming.
-
-(01:55) Because the difference between having a package in core Emacs
-and having it in GNU ELPA, is purely a practical convenience matter.
-Convenience of distribution and convenience of maintenance. We wanted
-to be able to move packages between the two whenever that was
-convenient. So, to make that possible we insisted on getting copyright
-assignments for packages in GNU ELPA just the same way we do for
-packages in core Emacs.
-
-(02:31) Having the facility for installing packages from package
-archives, led to a tremendous boost in the development and release of
-Emacs packages. Unfortunately there was a problem with the way that
-was done. For the most part, the developers of these packages wouldn't
-even tell us about them. They posted them in another package archive
-where we didn't know about them and (where they) no attempt was made
-to try to fit them into Emacs so that they could make sense as parts
-of the Emacs distribution. This led to both moral problems, packages
-that depended on non-free software in order to be usable and technical
-problems because the developers of those packages didn't coordinate
-with us about how to make it useful and convenient and clean to have
-them in Emacs.
-
-(03:36) So, the idea of NonGNU ELPA is an effort to smooth these
-things out. The fundamental plan of NonGNU ELPA is that, we won't ask
-for copyright assignments for those packages. So, we won't be able to
-put them into core Emacs; at least not easily, but we will have some
-control over how we distribute them. We can put any package into
-NonGNU ELPA as long as it's free software. If we like it we can set up
-that way for users to get it. We could put the package in exactly as
-it is if there's no problem at all with it. We can make an arrangement
-with the package's developers to work on it with us and maintain it
-directly for distribution by NonGNU ELPA but if they are not
-interested we can put it in ourselves and if we need to make any
-changes we can do so.
-
-(04:52) So, NonGNU ELPA is not meant to be just a way that others can
-distribute their packages. It's meant at least in a minimal technical
-sense to work with GNU Emacs, and we'll make changes if necessary so
-that it works smoothly with Emacs. And this means that we're going to
-maintain it differently from GNU ELPA. Well, GNU ELPA is hosted in a
-way that is actually rather inconvenient. It is one single Git
-repository. And so anybody that has access to write it can write any
-part of it. There are many different packages in there maintained by
-different people, and we have no way to give each one of them access
-to per own package and not to the others. Well, with NonGNU ELPA we
-plan to fix that. The idea is to have a single Git repository where
-you can download various packages from. But, they won't be maintained
-there. Each of those packages will be copied automatically from some
-other place. Probably some other repository where the right people
-have access to work on it. And this way we can avoid giving a gigantic
-number of people access to every part of it. So far NonGNU ELPA is
-just a plan, we need people to implement the plan. So, if you would
-like to help please write to me. I think this is a very important step
-for progress and it's got to be implemented. Thanks and happy hacking!
