-In the talk, I plan to cover my entry
-into the world of Emacs, a high-level series of events that shaped my
-experience and learning, and a few takeaways from someone coming from an

-attempts of inviting friends to Emacs, a few mentions of my
-contributions to the community and hopefully some tips for inspiration

-a reasonably easy starting point for someone getting into Emacs as their
-daily driver.

productivity, and pairing them with some of the core elements within
my toolset, including Linux, Emacs, and many other open-source
software everything fits in place as if it was supposed to be.
