In his talk today, titled Video," he will share his views on communication and sharing in the Emacs community, and how we can all do our part to spread Emacs, support each other, and ensure its growth. +# Discussion + +## Questions and answers + +- Q: Are you using ox-reveal to make your slides? If not, what are you + using? They look very elegant. + - A: Yes, and Jacob has a video about it on his channel! +- Q: Videos can be very inspirational to learn about something by + watching it used. I often find I need to do some research after + watching a video to learn more. Do you give people links to relevant + resources etc? + - A: Definitely something that I can do more of. I like to think + of my videos as jumping-points to the manual. +- Q: What are your fellow cohort of students using for their editors? + What kinds of \"feedback\" do you get from them when they learn + about you using Emacs? (Missed your talk so perhaps you answered + this) + - A: Professors making entry to comp sci as \"accessible/simple\" + as possible. In 3rd course the professor gives option of either + Emacs or Vim. Professor uses vim; so the class gravitates + towards that. A 4th course, in assembly, and the professor + suggests Emacs.

(Two years before entering college); taking notes in + org-mode for programming classes is the BEST!!! Syntax + highlighting, inline code blocks, literate-esque programming is + great for school. Professors want PDFs on their desk! And + org-mode simplifies this process. + - Also presenter is in humanities, and writes their humanities + essays in org-mode +- Q: To Leo: Before NeoVim, you had to do as much (or more) + configuration to get basic editing done than in Emacs. It\'s also + slower with modal editing compared to Emacs keybindings because you + have to press Esc and two keys to get things done while in Emacs you + only have to press C/M-something (one keypress) to move or search or + whatever and then write. I instantly became productive for writing + when I switched to Emacs. (I have 5 times tried to adopt Vim...and + each time I get a bit better. But Emacs was lightning in a bottle + for \"productivity\"; for those where vim works, I love it.

Thanks for all the good work. + - So awesome to hear that!! You are welcome and thanks for letting me know, love to hear it +- Ha ha. I think Emacs users might just enjoy inconvenience. If a picture is worth a thousand words ... then maybe the value of a video is based on frame rate. +- Agreed, jakeb --- video is worth it. +- Interesting to think about video beeing worth it while watching a video of the conference. + + [[!inline pages="internal(2023/info/sharing-after)" raw="yes"]] |
