+
+RSW, the autthor of Hyperbole, will answer your questions on Hyperbole
+live and demonstrate how it can make you more productive.
+
+Hyperbole is an extensive, easy-to-use package that brings
+hypertextual information management across all of Emacs to files with
+minimal or no markup, including source code files. It works with all
+modern versions of Emacs and does not require the use of any
+third-party packages or compiled modules. Its keyboard-driven
+minibuffer menus let you learn the key bindings for one set of
+features at a time. Its global minor mode lets you turn on and off
+its features with a single command.
+
+Many people express interest in Hyperbole but find its breadth makes
+it difficult for them to get started with it. Or they struggle to
+find specific workflows because of its infinite flexibility. This Q
+and A session is intended to help people over this initial hump by
+covering introductory topics such as the Action Key and how Implicit
+Buttons in your existing documents act as hyperlinks automatically.
+If more advanced topics are of interest, we could even answer
+questions such as:
+
+- How can I quickly turn my Lisp expressions into hypertext buttons?
+
+- Can I point Hyperbole at thousands of Org files and have it quickly
+ jump to arbitrary sections in the files without any prior indexing
+ or need for a database system?
+
+- Can Hyperbole build a wiki with Org files, automatically
+ highlighting WikiWord references with no special markup and then
+ publish it to the web?
+
+- When programming, can Hyperbole help me rapidly select, move and
+ display programmatic information?
+
+- What if I need an entire outline with builtin hyperlink anchors
+ and automatic paragraph numbering?
+
+- So Hyperbole just augments everything I do in Org mode already?
+
+The session will be driven by the topics that participants want to
+know about, so come with your questions and lets dive in together to
+see whether its all just Hyperbole.
+
+About the speaker:
+
+Bob Weiner (rsw) has been developing hypertextual systems since the
+dawn of the web in 1991 and using Emacs since 1982, though the other
+day someone said I look 28-years-old, so neither I nor Hyperbole feel
+that old. We have gained some perspective through the years, so maybe
+I can help you learn something new or see something in a new way.
