+# Org-roam: Technical Presentation
+Saturday, Nov 28 2020,  3:40 PM -  4:00 PM  
+Leo Vivier
+
+Org-roam is a Roam replica built on top of the all-powerful Org-mode.
+
+Org-roam is a solution for effortless non-hierarchical note-taking
+with Org-mode.  With Org-roam, notes flow naturally, making
+note-taking fun and easy.  Org-roam should also work as a
+plug-and-play solution for anyone already using Org-mode for their
+personal wiki.
+
+Org-roam aims to implement the core features of Roam, leveraging the
+mature ecosystem around Org-mode where possible.  Eventually, we hope
+to further introduce features enabled by the Emacs ecosystem.
+
+The purpose of the talk is to present some technical aspects of
+Org-roam.  From the very beginning, we wanted Org-roam to scale with
+your notes, and this meant that we had to keep a close eye on our
+performances.  As we iterated, optimisation remained a top-priority,
+leading us to constantly peek under Org-mode's hood.  Not only has
+this made us better developers, but it has also uncovered paths of
+optimisation for Org-mode itself.
+
+The talk is targeted at software engineers willing to peek under
+Org-mode's hood.  A rudimentary understanding of Elisp will be
+required.
+
+Points to be covered
+
+-   SQL database via emacsql
+-   Elisp libraries
+-   Parsing of Org-mode files
+-   org-elements.e
+-   Parsing with a background-process
+-   Ensuring consistency via hooks
+
+
+
+
+Back to the [[schedule]]
+
+All times are approximate, and we might shuffle talks around as needed. Please check https://emacsconf.org/2020 a few days before the start of the conference for instructions on how to watch and participate.
