- conf.org/2021/talks/adventure\n# Choose Your Own (Technology-Enhanced Lear
- ning) Adventure\nGreta Goetz\n\nThis presentation will move through Emacs
- artifacts: first illustrating possible paths for beginners and then mappin
- g out the significance of the enhanced learning potential of Emacs (Caille
- t in Andler & Guerry\, Engelbart\, Markauskaite & Goodyear). The technolog
- y-enhanced learning (TEL) that Emacs affords includes a systems view of 'm
- any\, many features' (Stallman) which surpass the confines of a pre-fabric
- ated environment (Stiegler). This affords diverse possibilities for indivi
- duals to interact creatively and autonomously to satisfy their own needs (
- Ill\nich). Its adaptability will be shown to be an asset in supporting the
- learning trends identified by the latest pedagogical research (Guo).\n\n#
- Intro\n\nThe 'many\, many features' (Stallman 2002: 4) of Emacs do not li
- mit imaginable types of interactivity\, supporting both formal and informa
- l learning (cf. Caillet in Andler & Guerry 2008). Emacs can function as a
- scaffold for development (cf. Vygotsky 1979: 86)\, promoting the creative
- and autonomous ability of individuals to interact with their digital envir
- onment and others who share the use of this tool (Illich 1973). Individual
- s can use Emacs as often or seldom as they want to express their needs and
- meaning in action\, with no obligation to use it (cf. Illich 1973).\n\nTh
- e formal learning involved pertains to Emacs programs and documentation (t
- he 'temple') while related discussion and smaller task-based problem solvi
- ng represents examples of informal learning (the 'forum') (cf. Caillet in
- Andler & Guerry 2008). As a context-rich environment (Trocmé-Fabre 1999)\,
- Emacs fulfills the promise of general computing: not boxing users into pe
- rsonas (cf. Stiegler 2018) but allowing users at all levels to organize an
- d assemble multiple knowledge domains (Markauskaite & Goodyear 2017) and p
- rograms so that they are 'just right'. People wanting to create tailored l
- earning environments who feel alienated or unsupported by pre-fabricated t
- ext and programming environments will find their way with Emacs.\n\n1. Wh
- at if we are beginners overwhelmed by formal Emacs documentation? Two pote
- ntial learning paths:\n\n - a. Build on a needs-basis. Make your own ar
- tifacts: no use-case is too small\; leave your trace.\n - b. Study othe
- rs' inits and use-cases\; Read Planet EmacsLife\; Consult programmer or po
- wer user use-cases\; Map out workflows.\n\n2. Emacs as personal\, creative
- \, autonomous:\n\n - a. Emacs allows for organic ongoing changes to the
- organization of knowledge\, imagination\, and experience (cf. Guerry & Ga
- ume 2009) . This is important as not all learners have the same spatial/vi
- sual needs and because these needs and knowledge can change over time (Vyg
- otsky 1979\; Gardner 1983\; Wang 2020).\n - b. Emacs allows us to contr
- ol our tools and tasks (Illich 1973). By contrast\, care-less use of pre-f
- abricated apps can lead to loss of know-how in life (Stiegler 2018).\n -
- c. The art of collecting traces (digital or not) is timeless - and import
- ant to survival.\n\n3. Emacs as systems design for technology-enhanced le
- arning (TEL):\n\n - a. Good TEL design performance should also educate
- the designer (Goodyear & Retalis 2010). Further\, good design focuses on '
- frameworks'\, which are systems 'that can be customized\, specialized\, or
- extended to provide more specific\, more appropriate\, or slightly differ
- ent capabilities' (Alexander 1993 in Gabriel 1996)\, assembling epistemic
- domains (Markauskaite & Goodyear 2017). This pedagogical approach is suppo
- rted by Emacs artifacts (packages\, documentation\, forums\, etc.).\n -
- b. The 'wise' use of programming (Crichton 1983) actively manages and or
- ganizes workflow. This permits iterative development. Elementary use-case:
- a workflow that relies on PPT and Zoom vs. already having a more modular
- viewpoint supported by diverse Emacs packages. The latter adaptability is
- supported by the latest educational research (Guo). Further: Emacs allows
- movement from user to contributor (Stiegler 2018\; Stavrou).\n - c. Wis
- e programming can include fun programming - 'there are people who want to
- put a stop to that' (Crichton 1983\; Gaffney 2019).\n - d. Extending th
- is systems/design view\, Emacs is developed and maintained by a community
- dedicated to supporting this freedom of use in these multiple contexts (cf
- . Illich 1973).\n - e. One perspective is less likely to override other
- s in such a heterogeneous environment (Morin 2004).\n\n# Conclusion\n\nEma
- cs does not limit any imaginable type of interactivity and promotes a dive
- rsity of related content\, further supporting the pursuit of more advanced
- TEL (viz. Guo). This was illustrated through an elementary use-case that
- compared being limited to PPT as opposed to having basic familiarity with
- Emacs\, which permits manageable\, continuous exploration of knowledge\, w
- orkflows\, and tools (cf. Alexander in Gabriel\; Goodyear & Retalis) and m
- ovement from consumer to creator (Stiegler\; Stavrou). Using Emacs means b
- eing able to use a sophisticated digital tool\, thanks to the contribution
- s of heterogeneous maintainers\, developers\, and community members whose
- artifacts comprise a meta picture. It is possible\, through using Emacs\,
- to learn about the design of digital learning and learning in general as a
- ccess to knowledge is not walled off by prefabricated design(cf. Illich\;
- Stiegler). We can choose our own adventure.\n\n\n# References\n\n## Genera

- hristophe Helary\n\nEven if it is generally agreed that software localizat
- ion is a good thing\, Emacs is lacking in that respect for a number of tec
- hnical reasons. Nonetheless\, the free software using public could greatly
- benefit from Emacs manuals translations\, even if the interface were to r
- emain in English.\n\nOmegaT is a multiplatform GPL3+ "computer aided trans
- lation" (CAT) tool running on OpenJDK 8. CATs are roughly equivalent for t
- ranslators to what IDEs are for code writers. Casual translators can benef
- it from their features but professionals or commited amateurs are the most
- likely to make the most use of such tools.\n\nWhen OmegaT\, free software
- based forges and Emacs meet\, we have a free multi-user translation envir
- onment that can easily sustain the (close to) 2 million words load that co
- mprise the manuals distributed with Emacs\, along with powerful features l
- ike arbitrary string protection for easy typing and QA (quality assurance)
- \, automatic legacy translation handling\, glossary management\, history b
- ased or predictive autocompletion\, etc.\n\nThe current trial project for
- French is hosted on 2 different forges:\n\n1. sr.ht hosts the source file
- s\n <https://sr.ht/~brandelune/documentation_emacs/>\n2. chapril hosts
- the OmegaT team project architecture\n <https://sr.ht/~brandelune/docu
- mentation_emacs/>\n\nThe sources are regularly updated with a po4a based s
- hell script.\n\n# Outline\n\n- Duration: 10 minutes\n- Software used durin
- g the presentation\n - [po4a](https://po4a.org) a tool to convert documen
- tation formats to and from the commonly used `gettext` **PO** format.\n
- po4a supports the `texinfo` format along with many others.\n - [OmegaT](
- https://omegat.org) a "computer aided translation" tool used by translator
- s to efficiently combine translation ressources (legacy translations\, glo
- ssaries\, etc.) so as to produce more consistent translations.\n\nDuring t
- he presentation\, I will show:\n\n- How to use po4a to convert the texi fi
- les to the PO format (the org.org file is also converted)\n- What are the
- specificities of the Emacs manuals and what difficulties they present to t
- he tanslator\n- How to address those specificities in OmegaT\, with regula

- tc.\n- How to use OmegaT with a team of 2 (or more) translators working at
- the same time\n- How to solve translation conflicts\n\nI will *not* show:

- rg-mode is already an extremely powerful and\ncustomisable tool for task a
- nd time management\, note-taking\, calendar\nand agenda management\, and m
- uch more. Babel takes org a step further\nby letting you write\, evaluate\
- , and export code in different languages\nfrom within a single file. In th
- is talk\, I will highlight some\nfeatures of babel that I find exciting an
- d extremely useful\,\nparticularly for an academic workflow.\n\nGetting st
- arted with babel can be intimidating\, but it's hard to stop\nusing it onc
- e you start. As an academic\, I typically don't manage\nlarge coding proje
- cts. My primary purpose is writing lecture notes\,\nassignments\, and pape
- rs\, and managing related admin. Typically\, I want\nto try and automate t
- he boring portions of my workflow without extra\noverhead. I also tend to
- find various tasks easier in some programming\nlanguages and harder in oth
- ers\, and prefer to mix and match languages\nas the task dictates. Babel m
- akes this process seamless.\n\nA basic use case is writing a document in o
- rg-mode and exporting it to\nLaTeX or HTML. Org-mode even lets you write m
- ultiple documents in a\nsingle org file\, which can be convenient. Babel l
- ets you add all sorts\nof enhancements to the same file. For example\, sup
- pose we have a\nsingle org document with all the problem sets for a course
- . Within\nthis single file\, we could now:\n\n- draw pictures in ditaa\,
- graphviz\, or python instead of LaTeX\,\n- use python to do complex cal
- culations and then output the result as LaTeX\,\n- define skeletons to q
- uickly draw up assignment templates\,\n- toggle exporting of assignments
- with or without solutions based on tags\,\n- locally change export sett
- ings or run a post-export hook\,\n- automatically export to LaTeX after
- saving\,\n- tangle code blocks from some or all of the languages to exte
- rnal files.\n\nI will try to showcase features of babel that academics cou
- ld find\nhelpful\, by presenting some ways in which I have tried to use ba
- bel. I\nwould also like to be inspired by other people's babel workflows!\

- mode\nBlaine Mooers\n\nResearch papers in structural biology should includ
- e the code used to make\nthe images of molecules in the article in the sup
- plemental materials.\nSome structural bioinformaticists have started to in
- clude\ntheir computer code in the supplemental materials to allow readers\
- nto reproduce their analyses. However\, authors of papers reporting new\nm
- olecular structures often overlook the inclusion of the code that makes\nt
- he images of the molecules reported in their articles. Nonetheless\,\nthis
- aspect of reproducible research needs to become the standard practice\nto
- improve the rigor of the science.\n\nIn a literate programming document\,
- the author interleaves between blocks\nof prose the code that makes the i
- mages of molecules. The document allows\nthe reader to reproduce the image
- s in the manuscript by running the code.\nThe reader can also explore the
- effect of altering the parameters in the\ncode. Org files are one alternat
- ive for making such literate programming\ndocuments.\n\nWe developed a yas
- nippet snippet library called orgpymolpysnips for\nstructural biologists (
- <https://github.com/MooersLab/orgpymolpysnips>).\nThis library facilitates
- the assembly of literate programming documents\nwith molecular images mad
- e by PyMOL. PyMOL is the most popular\nmolecular graphics program for crea
- ting images for publication\; it has\nover 100\,000 users\, which is a lot
- of users in molecular biology. PyMOL\nhas been used to make many of the i
- mages of biological molecules found\non the covers of many Cell\, Nature\,
- and Science issues.\n\nWe used the `jupyter' language in org-babel to sen
- d commands from\ncode blocks in Org files to PyMOL's Python API. PyMOL ret
- urns the\nmolecular image to the output block below the code block. An Ema
- cs\nuser can convert the Org file into a PDF\, `tangle' the code blocks\ni
- nto a script file\, and submit these for non-Emacs users. We describe\nthe
- content of the library and provide examples of the running PyMOL\nfrom Or

- o stop worrying and love emacs-devel\nStefan Kangas\n\nEmacs' greatest str
- ength is also its greatest weakness: it is **too** hackable.\n\nWe have a
- great community that experiment with new features that are still\nlacking
- in Emacs core. They write up a package and develop the living daylights\n
- out of it\, until it is basically amazing. (I'm looking at you Magit.)\n\
- nThere are other examples such as helpful.el - great package\, but why are
- those\nfeatures not in core? What about projectile? And so on.\n\nCore
- demands copyright assignments (CLA). This is a fact of life. While I\nmo
- stly agree with the people saying it is not helful\, they are there to pro
- tect\nEmacs from copyright issues in the future. So my suggestion here is
- simple:\njust **sign the papers**. It is just a formality\, and you shou
- ld only need to do\nit once.\n\nI suggest that any ambitious feature that
- we **might** want to see shipped in the\ndefault Emacs distribution should
- by default go to GNU ELPA. You don't need to\ndo this\, of course\, and
- I respect your decision\, but I urge you to do it.\n\nGNU ELPA does not ha
- ve an exceptionally high standard\, but we do try to give any\nnew package
- a proper code review.\n\nMELPA is excellent. We love MELPA. They don't
- have a criterion for their\npackages that is important to the FSF\, which
- is to not recommend non-free\nsoftware. Therefore\, we could not recommen
- d it by default\, and had to build\nNonGNU ELPA.\n\nNonGNU ELPA will be us
- ed for packages that we don't have an assignment for but\nwould still like
- to distribute. It should ideally only be for old packages\nwhere getting
- a CLA is impractical.\n\nIt is sometimes perceived as hard to contribute
- to Emacs core. This impression\nis largely wrong. If I can do it\, you c
- an too.\n\nWe do have a problem in that our tools and methods (mailing lis
- ts\, the bug\ntracker) are out-dated. This is largely correct. We want t
- o migrate to\nsomething else\, and the best candidate is probably Sourcehu
- t. Please volunteer\nto help!\n\nWe sometimes see people adding stuff to
- their Init file to fix this or that\nannoyance\, or even bug. The more am
- bitious would go on to package up such fixes\nin what I call "patch packag
- es". "Hey\, foo-mode doesn't have support for\n'bookmark-set'\, let's writ
- e a package!" I am here to suggest that you submit a\npatch to Emacs inst
- ead.\n\nFixing an issue for one person is good\, and fixing it for more pe
- ople is even\nbetter. Fixing it for everyone? Priceless.\n\nemacs-devel
- is not that scary\, nor is email. We are really quite friendly and\neasy
- going\, but the communication we prefer (for reasons of efficiency - the\n
- volume is very high) is often very brief and to the point. We are trying
- our\nbest at communicating\, but sometimes fail.\n\nAnd we need more contr
- ibutors. We need a successful Emacs on this planet.\n\nSo should you real
- ly write a package\, or should YOU become a core contributor?\n\n\n\n# Out
- line\n\n- I will urge people to consider contributing to Emacs instead of\
- n writing small packages\, and explain GNU ELPA\, MELPA\, CLA.\n- I will
- go into greater detail about emacs-devel\, how it "works"\n (e.g. is Emac
- s conservative without reason?)\, how to get things\n done and the necess

- ion I will show an idea that feels completely obvious\nonce we see it\, bu
- t that only occured to me after after using Emacs\nand eev as my main inte
- rface to the computer for more than 20 years.\nTake any interpreted langua
- ge that supports multi-line comments\, and\nwhose interpreter can be run i
- n an Emacs buffer - for example Lua\,\nHaskell\, Python\, or Julia\; let's
- say just "Lua" from here on for\nsimplicity. So: suppose that we have a L
- ua script that we wrote\, that\nis called "foo.lua" and that defines lots
- of functions and defines the\nclasses Bar and Bletch. We can put after the
- definition of the class\nBar a multi-line comment that contains an eepitc
- h block that when\nexecuted starts a Lua interpreter\, loads the script fo
- o.lua (by\nrunning 'dofile "foo.lua"')\, and then has several tests for th
- at class\nand its methods\; and we can put another block with tests like t
- hat\nafter the class Bletch\, and other blocks after some functions. Eepit
- ch\nallows sending these tests line by line to the Lua interpreter by\ntyp
- ing <f8\\> on each line that we want to send\, and this lets us create\nte
- sts that are very easy to understand even without writing comments\;\nthis
- gives us a very quick way to document code by executable tests\,\nthat is
- super-great for experimental code that is still going to\nchange a lot be
- fore running the risk of being read by other people.\n\nThese multi-line c
- omments with eepitch blocks that run an interpreter\nand make it load the
- current file are called "test blocks". The\ncommand \\`M-x eeit' inserts a
- test block at point\, using the major mode\nto decide the right syntax to
- use for the multi-line comments and for\nthe "dofile". We can configure t
- he syntax of the test blocks for the\ncurrent major mode by running \\`M-x
- find-eeit-links'\; this can also be\nused to add support for test blocks
- to more languages (or\, more\nprecisely: to more major modes).\n\nEduardo

+DESCRIPTION: Times are approximate and will probably change.\nhttps://emacs
+ conf.org/2021/talks/adventure\n# Choose Your Own (Technology-Enhanced Lear
+ ning) Adventure\nGreta Goetz\n\nThis presentation will move through Emacs
+ artifacts: first illustrating possible paths for beginners and then mappin
+ g out the significance of the enhanced learning potential of Emacs (Caille
+ t in Andler & Guerry\, Engelbart\, Markauskaite & Goodyear). The technolog
+ y-enhanced learning (TEL) that Emacs affords includes a systems view of 'm
+ any\, many features' (Stallman) which surpass the confines of a pre-fabric
+ ated environment (Stiegler). This affords diverse possibilities for indivi
+ duals to interact creatively and autonomously to satisfy their own needs (
+ Ill\nich). Its adaptability will be shown to be an asset in supporting the
+ learning trends identified by the latest pedagogical research (Guo).\n\n#
+ Intro\n\nThe 'many\, many features' (Stallman 2002: 4) of Emacs do not li
+ mit imaginable types of interactivity\, supporting both formal and informa
+ l learning (cf. Caillet in Andler & Guerry 2008). Emacs can function as a
+ scaffold for development (cf. Vygotsky 1979: 86)\, promoting the creative
+ and autonomous ability of individuals to interact with their digital envir
+ onment and others who share the use of this tool (Illich 1973). Individual
+ s can use Emacs as often or seldom as they want to express their needs and
+ meaning in action\, with no obligation to use it (cf. Illich 1973).\n\nTh
+ e formal learning involved pertains to Emacs programs and documentation (t
+ he 'temple') while related discussion and smaller task-based problem solvi
+ ng represents examples of informal learning (the 'forum') (cf. Caillet in
+ Andler & Guerry 2008). As a context-rich environment (Trocmé-Fabre 1999)\,
+ Emacs fulfills the promise of general computing: not boxing users into pe
+ rsonas (cf. Stiegler 2018) but allowing users at all levels to organize an
+ d assemble multiple knowledge domains (Markauskaite & Goodyear 2017) and p
+ rograms so that they are 'just right'. People wanting to create tailored l
+ earning environments who feel alienated or unsupported by pre-fabricated t
+ ext and programming environments will find their way with Emacs.\n\n1. Wh
+ at if we are beginners overwhelmed by formal Emacs documentation? Two pote
+ ntial learning paths:\n\n - a. Build on a needs-basis. Make your own ar
+ tifacts: no use-case is too small\; leave your trace.\n - b. Study othe
+ rs' inits and use-cases\; Read Planet EmacsLife\; Consult programmer or po
+ wer user use-cases\; Map out workflows.\n\n2. Emacs as personal\, creative
+ \, autonomous:\n\n - a. Emacs allows for organic ongoing changes to the
+ organization of knowledge\, imagination\, and experience (cf. Guerry & Ga
+ ume 2009) . This is important as not all learners have the same spatial/vi
+ sual needs and because these needs and knowledge can change over time (Vyg
+ otsky 1979\; Gardner 1983\; Wang 2020).\n - b. Emacs allows us to contr
+ ol our tools and tasks (Illich 1973). By contrast\, care-less use of pre-f
+ abricated apps can lead to loss of know-how in life (Stiegler 2018).\n -
+ c. The art of collecting traces (digital or not) is timeless - and import
+ ant to survival.\n\n3. Emacs as systems design for technology-enhanced le
+ arning (TEL):\n\n - a. Good TEL design performance should also educate
+ the designer (Goodyear & Retalis 2010). Further\, good design focuses on '
+ frameworks'\, which are systems 'that can be customized\, specialized\, or
+ extended to provide more specific\, more appropriate\, or slightly differ
+ ent capabilities' (Alexander 1993 in Gabriel 1996)\, assembling epistemic
+ domains (Markauskaite & Goodyear 2017). This pedagogical approach is suppo
+ rted by Emacs artifacts (packages\, documentation\, forums\, etc.).\n -
+ b. The 'wise' use of programming (Crichton 1983) actively manages and or
+ ganizes workflow. This permits iterative development. Elementary use-case:
+ a workflow that relies on PPT and Zoom vs. already having a more modular
+ viewpoint supported by diverse Emacs packages. The latter adaptability is
+ supported by the latest educational research (Guo). Further: Emacs allows
+ movement from user to contributor (Stiegler 2018\; Stavrou).\n - c. Wis
+ e programming can include fun programming - 'there are people who want to
+ put a stop to that' (Crichton 1983\; Gaffney 2019).\n - d. Extending th
+ is systems/design view\, Emacs is developed and maintained by a community
+ dedicated to supporting this freedom of use in these multiple contexts (cf
+ . Illich 1973).\n - e. One perspective is less likely to override other
+ s in such a heterogeneous environment (Morin 2004).\n\n# Conclusion\n\nEma
+ cs does not limit any imaginable type of interactivity and promotes a dive
+ rsity of related content\, further supporting the pursuit of more advanced
+ TEL (viz. Guo). This was illustrated through an elementary use-case that
+ compared being limited to PPT as opposed to having basic familiarity with
+ Emacs\, which permits manageable\, continuous exploration of knowledge\, w
+ orkflows\, and tools (cf. Alexander in Gabriel\; Goodyear & Retalis) and m
+ ovement from consumer to creator (Stiegler\; Stavrou). Using Emacs means b
+ eing able to use a sophisticated digital tool\, thanks to the contribution
+ s of heterogeneous maintainers\, developers\, and community members whose
+ artifacts comprise a meta picture. It is possible\, through using Emacs\,
+ to learn about the design of digital learning and learning in general as a
+ ccess to knowledge is not walled off by prefabricated design(cf. Illich\;
+ Stiegler). We can choose our own adventure.\n\n\n# References\n\n## Genera

+ hristophe Helary\n\nEven if it is generally agreed that software localizat
+ ion is a good thing\, Emacs is lacking in that respect for a number of tec
+ hnical reasons. Nonetheless\, the free software using public could greatly
+ benefit from Emacs manuals translations\, even if the interface were to r
+ emain in English.\n\nOmegaT is a multiplatform GPL3+ "computer aided trans
+ lation" (CAT) tool running on OpenJDK 8. CATs are roughly equivalent for t
+ ranslators to what IDEs are for code writers. Casual translators can benef
+ it from their features but professionals or commited amateurs are the most
+ likely to make the most use of such tools.\n\nWhen OmegaT\, free software
+ based forges and Emacs meet\, we have a free multi-user translation envir
+ onment that can easily sustain the (close to) 2 million words load that co
+ mprise the manuals distributed with Emacs\, along with powerful features l
+ ike arbitrary string protection for easy typing and QA (quality assurance)
+ \, automatic legacy translation handling\, glossary management\, history b
+ ased or predictive autocompletion\, etc.\n\nThe current trial project for
+ French is hosted on 2 different forges:\n\n1. sr.ht hosts the source file
+ s\n <https://sr.ht/~brandelune/documentation_emacs/>\n2. chapril hosts
+ the OmegaT team project architecture\n <https://sr.ht/~brandelune/docu

+ hell script.\n\n# Outline\n\n- Duration: 10 minutes\n- Software used durin
+ g the presentation\n - [po4a](https://po4a.org) a tool to convert documen
+ tation formats to and from the commonly used `gettext` **PO** format.\n
+ po4a supports the `texinfo` format along with many others.\n - [OmegaT](
+ https://omegat.org) a "computer aided translation" tool used by translator
+ s to efficiently combine translation ressources (legacy translations\, glo
+ ssaries\, etc.) so as to produce more consistent translations.\n\nDuring t
+ he presentation\, I will show:\n\n- How to use po4a to convert the texi fi
+ les to the PO format (the org.org file is also converted)\n- What are the
+ specificities of the Emacs manuals and what difficulties they present to t

+ tc.\n- How to use OmegaT with a team of 2 (or more) translators working at
+ the same time\n- How to solve translation conflicts\n\nI will *not* show:

+ uch more. Babel takes org a step further\nby letting you write\, evaluate\
+ , and export code in different languages\nfrom within a single file. In th
+ is talk\, I will highlight some\nfeatures of babel that I find exciting an
+ d extremely useful\,\nparticularly for an academic workflow.\n\nGetting st
+ arted with babel can be intimidating\, but it's hard to stop\nusing it onc
+ e you start. As an academic\, I typically don't manage\nlarge coding proje
+ cts. My primary purpose is writing lecture notes\,\nassignments\, and pape
+ rs\, and managing related admin. Typically\, I want\nto try and automate t
+ he boring portions of my workflow without extra\noverhead. I also tend to
+ find various tasks easier in some programming\nlanguages and harder in oth
+ ers\, and prefer to mix and match languages\nas the task dictates. Babel m
+ akes this process seamless.\n\nA basic use case is writing a document in o
+ rg-mode and exporting it to\nLaTeX or HTML. Org-mode even lets you write m
+ ultiple documents in a\nsingle org file\, which can be convenient. Babel l
+ ets you add all sorts\nof enhancements to the same file. For example\, sup
+ pose we have a\nsingle org document with all the problem sets for a course
+ . Within\nthis single file\, we could now:\n\n- draw pictures in ditaa\,
+ graphviz\, or python instead of LaTeX\,\n- use python to do complex cal
+ culations and then output the result as LaTeX\,\n- define skeletons to q
+ uickly draw up assignment templates\,\n- toggle exporting of assignments
+ with or without solutions based on tags\,\n- locally change export sett
+ ings or run a post-export hook\,\n- automatically export to LaTeX after
+ saving\,\n- tangle code blocks from some or all of the languages to exte
+ rnal files.\n\nI will try to showcase features of babel that academics cou

+ aspect of reproducible research needs to become the standard practice\nto
+ improve the rigor of the science.\n\nIn a literate programming document\,
+ the author interleaves between blocks\nof prose the code that makes the i
+ mages of molecules. The document allows\nthe reader to reproduce the image
+ s in the manuscript by running the code.\nThe reader can also explore the
+ effect of altering the parameters in the\ncode. Org files are one alternat
+ ive for making such literate programming\ndocuments.\n\nWe developed a yas
+ nippet snippet library called orgpymolpysnips for\nstructural biologists (
+ <https://github.com/MooersLab/orgpymolpysnips>).\nThis library facilitates
+ the assembly of literate programming documents\nwith molecular images mad
+ e by PyMOL. PyMOL is the most popular\nmolecular graphics program for crea

+ of users in molecular biology. PyMOL\nhas been used to make many of the i
+ mages of biological molecules found\non the covers of many Cell\, Nature\,
+ and Science issues.\n\nWe used the `jupyter' language in org-babel to sen
+ d commands from\ncode blocks in Org files to PyMOL's Python API. PyMOL ret
+ urns the\nmolecular image to the output block below the code block. An Ema

+ why do we edit in terms of deleting\,\ninserting\, replacing characters &#

+ n a sense that it provides consistency\nacross different tools and applica
+ tions within the Emacs ecosystem\, as well as\nexternal apps that can be i
+ ntegrated into it. It is also the most truly\nmalleable environment\, each
+ element of which can be adjusted or extended\,\ntherefore providing the u
+ ser with more power and freedom in personal computing.\nEmacs definitely c
+ an be considered one of greatest software products in\nexistence.\n\nAs a
+ non-programmer\, having had the chance to stumble upon Emacs a couple of\n
+ years ago\, the only regret to have is that it didn't happen earlier. The
+ definite\nkiller feature of Emacs - Org-mode\, is what draws many of the l
+ ess technical\nfolks to join the party and gradually start to use Emacs fo
+ r writing documents\,\nwhether personal or work related\, manage tasks\, e
+ mails and potentially everything\nelse. The learning curve and difference
+ in approach\, however\, leaves some\npotential users too scared of the arc
+ ane interface even with all it's quirks and\nfeatures because it requires
+ at least some technical skills to understand and\nuse properly\, and does
+ not have an easy way to connect with external tools that\nmost people are
+ forced to use for work.\n\nThis talk proposes some ideas about how the mod
+ el of Emacs\, it's focus on\nconsistency\, extensibility\, as well as it's
+ powerful interaction model can be\ncarried over to make modern interfaces
+ \, whether desktop or web applications\,\nthat would be designed with a go
+ al of reflecting the spirit of Emacs in terms of\nthe aforementioned featu
+ res it possesses\, and therefore enhance the capabilities\nof the Emacs\,
+ while at the same time utilizing it as a backend for\ntext-processing and
+ editing to a large extent. It would be really great to have\na personal we
+ b-interface for using modern task management tools\, chats\, emails\nand s
+ uch\, but from a UI defined by the user. The goal is to use it on a deskto
+ p\nor mobile\, locally or self-hosted on a server\, with support for touch
+ and\ngesture-based workflows\, while preserving the Emacs philosophy and
+ allowing to\nseamlessly switch between Emacs and its web extension\n\nThe
+ proposed solution is to integrate more of the modern tools with Emacs\,\nu
+ tilize Org-mode as a way to define application-specific parameters for the
+ se\ntools through Org properties\, and then utilize these parameters for m
+ aking a\nmodern local frontend that would enhance Emacs UI while allowing
+ to use external\ntools in a more personal and freedom respecting way (maki
+ ng the originals\nobsolete over time). The talk serves the purpose of invi
+ ting community members to\na discussion about how Emacs can become more mo
+ dern\, more approachable by people\nwho don't possess the neccessarry tech

+DESCRIPTION: Times are approximate and will probably change.\nhttps://emacs
+ conf.org/2021/talks/devel\n# Don't write that package! or: How I learned t
+ o stop worrying and love emacs-devel\nStefan Kangas\n\nEmacs' greatest str
+ ength is also its greatest weakness: it is **too** hackable.\n\nWe have a
+ great community that experiment with new features that are still\nlacking
+ in Emacs core. They write up a package and develop the living daylights\n
+ out of it\, until it is basically amazing. (I'm looking at you Magit.)\n\
+ nThere are other examples such as helpful.el - great package\, but why are
+ those\nfeatures not in core? What about projectile? And so on.\n\nCore
+ demands copyright assignments (CLA). This is a fact of life. While I\nmo
+ stly agree with the people saying it is not helful\, they are there to pro
+ tect\nEmacs from copyright issues in the future. So my suggestion here is
+ simple:\njust **sign the papers**. It is just a formality\, and you shou
+ ld only need to do\nit once.\n\nI suggest that any ambitious feature that
+ we **might** want to see shipped in the\ndefault Emacs distribution should
+ by default go to GNU ELPA. You don't need to\ndo this\, of course\, and
+ I respect your decision\, but I urge you to do it.\n\nGNU ELPA does not ha
+ ve an exceptionally high standard\, but we do try to give any\nnew package
+ a proper code review.\n\nMELPA is excellent. We love MELPA. They don't
+ have a criterion for their\npackages that is important to the FSF\, which
+ is to not recommend non-free\nsoftware. Therefore\, we could not recommen
+ d it by default\, and had to build\nNonGNU ELPA.\n\nNonGNU ELPA will be us
+ ed for packages that we don't have an assignment for but\nwould still like
+ to distribute. It should ideally only be for old packages\nwhere getting
+ a CLA is impractical.\n\nIt is sometimes perceived as hard to contribute
+ to Emacs core. This impression\nis largely wrong. If I can do it\, you c
+ an too.\n\nWe do have a problem in that our tools and methods (mailing lis
+ ts\, the bug\ntracker) are out-dated. This is largely correct. We want t
+ o migrate to\nsomething else\, and the best candidate is probably Sourcehu
+ t. Please volunteer\nto help!\n\nWe sometimes see people adding stuff to
+ their Init file to fix this or that\nannoyance\, or even bug. The more am
+ bitious would go on to package up such fixes\nin what I call "patch packag
+ es". "Hey\, foo-mode doesn't have support for\n'bookmark-set'\, let's writ
+ e a package!" I am here to suggest that you submit a\npatch to Emacs inst
+ ead.\n\nFixing an issue for one person is good\, and fixing it for more pe
+ ople is even\nbetter. Fixing it for everyone? Priceless.\n\nemacs-devel
+ is not that scary\, nor is email. We are really quite friendly and\neasy
+ going\, but the communication we prefer (for reasons of efficiency - the\n
+ volume is very high) is often very brief and to the point. We are trying
+ our\nbest at communicating\, but sometimes fail.\n\nAnd we need more contr
+ ibutors. We need a successful Emacs on this planet.\n\nSo should you real
+ ly write a package\, or should YOU become a core contributor?\n\n\n\n# Out
+ line\n\n- I will urge people to consider contributing to Emacs instead of\
+ n writing small packages\, and explain GNU ELPA\, MELPA\, CLA.\n- I will
+ go into greater detail about emacs-devel\, how it "works"\n (e.g. is Emac
+ s conservative without reason?)\, how to get things\n done and the necess
+ ary mindset.

+ ion I will show an idea that feels completely obvious\nonce we see it\, bu
+ t that only occured to me after after using Emacs\nand eev as my main inte
+ rface to the computer for more than 20 years.\nTake any interpreted langua
+ ge that supports multi-line comments\, and\nwhose interpreter can be run i
+ n an Emacs buffer - for example Lua\,\nHaskell\, Python\, or Julia\; let's
+ say just "Lua" from here on for\nsimplicity. So: suppose that we have a L
+ ua script that we wrote\, that\nis called "foo.lua" and that defines lots
+ of functions and defines the\nclasses Bar and Bletch. We can put after the
+ definition of the class\nBar a multi-line comment that contains an eepitc
+ h block that when\nexecuted starts a Lua interpreter\, loads the script fo
+ o.lua (by\nrunning 'dofile "foo.lua"')\, and then has several tests for th
+ at class\nand its methods\; and we can put another block with tests like t
+ hat\nafter the class Bletch\, and other blocks after some functions. Eepit
+ ch\nallows sending these tests line by line to the Lua interpreter by\ntyp
+ ing <f8\\> on each line that we want to send\, and this lets us create\nte
+ sts that are very easy to understand even without writing comments\;\nthis
+ gives us a very quick way to document code by executable tests\,\nthat is
+ super-great for experimental code that is still going to\nchange a lot be
+ fore running the risk of being read by other people.\n\nThese multi-line c
+ omments with eepitch blocks that run an interpreter\nand make it load the
+ current file are called "test blocks". The\ncommand \\`M-x eeit' inserts a
+ test block at point\, using the major mode\nto decide the right syntax to
+ use for the multi-line comments and for\nthe "dofile". We can configure t
+ he syntax of the test blocks for the\ncurrent major mode by running \\`M-x
+ find-eeit-links'\; this can also be\nused to add support for test blocks
+ to more languages (or\, more\nprecisely: to more major modes).\n\nEduardo
