I stumbled one day + +00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.320 +upon this weird piece of software which + +00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:43.759 +was called Emacs, + +00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:46.479 +and I've been trapped forever since, + +00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:47.920 +basically, because + +00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.280 +eight years ago, when I discovered + +00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:51.119 +Emacs I just couldn't let go. There was + +00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:52.720 +just something very + +00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:55.439 +interesting about the way you configured + +00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:56.320 +your setup, + +00:01:56.320 --> 00:01:58.799 +and I just wanted to dive deeper and + +00:01:58.799 --> 00:01:59.759 +deeper. + +00:01:59.759 --> 00:02:04.320 +So the title is of this talk exactly is + +00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:06.640 +how I went from user to package + +00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.000 +maintainer, and + +00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:09.840 +the package now that I'm maintaining is + +00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:11.599 +called org-roam. I'm not the only one + +00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:12.080 +doing this. + +00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.440 +I'm helped with many lovely people + +00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:18.720 +working on org-roam. + +00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:21.360 +I got started as a maintainer + +00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.360 +only this year, so that means that for + +00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:24.720 +the eight years I've been + +00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:27.360 +an Emacs user, seven of those years were + +00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.200 +spent merely being a user + +00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:31.040 +trying to be a sponge for knowledge, + +00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:33.920 +trying to learn as much as I could. + +00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:36.800 +I believe it would be + +00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.040 +interesting for me to share my story + +00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:40.959 +because I believe that I'm far from + +00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:42.160 +being the only user + +00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:43.599 +who can make the jump to being a + +00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:45.519 +maintainer. A lot of you have + +00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:46.879 +a lot of knowledge when it comes to + +00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:48.959 +Emacs. Some of you + +00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:51.040 +are at different steps in your journey. + +00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:52.720 +Some of you, for instance, are just + +00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:55.680 +starting to copy stuff out of + +00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:57.040 +StackExchange + +00:02:57.040 --> 00:02:59.519 +into your Emacs configuration. let's + +00:02:59.519 --> 00:03:00.720 +say you want to do something very + +00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:01.599 +particular + +00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.480 +and you haven't found a way to do so. + +00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:05.920 +You go on StackExchange. You find + +00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:06.640 +something + +00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:09.040 +that's interesting. You add it to your + +00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:10.239 +Emacs configuration. You + +00:03:10.239 --> 00:03:11.680 +barely understand anything that's going + +00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.519 +on. You know that it's supposed to be + +00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:14.800 +Emacs Lisp. + +00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.200 +"I hardly know Emacs and I + +00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:19.440 +know even less what is Lisp supposed to be." + +00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:21.440 +But you paste it in and it does what you + +00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:22.800 +want it to do, and you say + +00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:26.959 +"Great, I'll move on to my work now." So + +00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:29.280 +that's how I got started. I had + +00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:30.879 +a very spartan + +00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.440 +setup for Emacs, which a lot of you must + +00:03:33.440 --> 00:03:36.000 +know... The first time you launch Emacs, + +00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.840 +you have this feeling that you're jumping 20 + +00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:39.599 +years back in time, as far as the + +00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.680 +user interface is concerned. But + +00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.959 +as you get to spend more time with Emacs... + +00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:49.120 +Some would call it Stockholm syndrome + +00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:50.959 +insofar as you can't see + +00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:53.360 +how spartan the entire thing is, but it + +00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:54.640 +actually is + +00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:58.400 +a lovely prison so to speak. + +00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.400 +That's how I got started eight years + +00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:01.680 +ago. I just wanted + +00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.319 +to find a way to do my research properly. + +00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:05.519 +I wanted to have a + +00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:07.280 +tool that I could use to write my notes + +00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:08.959 +in plain text, because I was already + +00:04:08.959 --> 00:04:11.680 +fairly averse to + +00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.560 +Microsoft solutions when it + +00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.320 +came to taking notes. + +00:04:16.320 --> 00:04:19.359 +So yeah, I got started in emacs. I + +00:04:19.359 --> 00:04:20.880 +read a little bit about what plain text + +00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:23.040 +was about. Just to be clear, + +00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.000 +at the time, yes, I was very good with + +00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:27.120 +computers, + +00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.160 +but I was not a computer science student. + +00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.479 +I had barely any experience with + +00:04:32.479 --> 00:04:33.520 +programming + +00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:36.080 +and coding, and I was even less of a + +00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:36.800 +hacker + +00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.919 +back then. + +00:04:39.919 --> 00:04:42.560 +It just goes to show you that at the + +00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.479 +beginning, I had close to no knowledge, + +00:04:44.479 --> 00:04:45.840 +whether it be about + +00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:47.840 +the free software world, whether it be + +00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:48.880 +about... + +00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:50.800 +Sacha, do you want to say something?

I'm going + +00:14:20.880 --> 00:14:22.800 +to start with the one at the bottom. + +00:14:22.800 --> 00:14:24.959 +"Do you feel that being a white male + +00:14:24.959 --> 00:14:26.959 +contributed to your experience?" + +00:14:26.959 --> 00:14:29.680 +Yeah. I mean, I do believe... There's + +00:14:29.680 --> 00:14:31.360 +an idea of privilege. I mean, I'm + +00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:34.639 +french. I live in... I'm lucky enough to + +00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:35.279 +be here + +00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:38.560 +at university, okay, and I'm fairly aware + +00:14:38.560 --> 00:14:39.120 +of the + +00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.600 +discrepancies that happen, even in France, + +00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:42.880 +according to this... + +00:14:42.880 --> 00:14:46.320 +So, yes, I believe my journey + +00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:51.199 +was heavily influenced by this. + +00:14:51.199 --> 00:14:52.639 +If you would like to specify the + +00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.320 +question, please do, but I don't have + +00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.560 +really all that much to ask on this. + +00:14:56.560 --> 00:14:59.839 +"What is your advice to start learning + +00:14:59.839 --> 00:15:01.279 +Elisp language?

I finished + +00:15:04.160 --> 00:15:07.760 +um my presentation by telling you about + +00:15:07.760 --> 00:15:10.560 +the Elisp introduction which is built into + +00:15:10.560 --> 00:15:13.519 +Emacs. What I might do... I'm going to share my + +00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:15.120 +screen just to show you + +00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:19.519 +how this works. I will be sharing + +00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:22.880 +this window. + +00:15:22.880 --> 00:15:24.399 +I believe it's frozen on my end, so I + +00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:27.199 +can't see anything. + +00:15:27.199 --> 00:15:28.959 +i'm not sure if you can see me or if my + +00:15:28.959 --> 00:15:32.560 +camera is moving. + +00:15:32.560 --> 00:15:34.800 +Okay, so my Firefox is frozen. So i'll + +00:15:34.800 --> 00:15:36.000 +answer the question, but I won't be able + +00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:36.800 +to show you + +00:15:36.800 --> 00:15:40.000 +what I wanted to show you. + +00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.639 +There's a built-in guide inside Emacs to + +00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:44.320 +learn Elisp. + +00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:46.880 +Maybe the best chance that you have + +00:15:46.880 --> 00:15:49.040 +is just to go open these info pages. + +00:15:49.040 --> 00:15:50.959 +I'm sure someone will be kind enough to + +00:15:50.959 --> 00:15:53.839 +mention this to you in the #emacsconf channel + +00:15:53.839 --> 00:15:54.880 +on IRC + +00:15:54.880 --> 00:15:56.880 +but it's probably the best way + +00:15:56.880 --> 00:15:59.040 +to get started with Elisp. + +00:15:59.040 --> 00:16:01.279 +You know, we tend to get obsessed, with + +00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:03.360 +software and with programming, about + +00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:04.880 +what's the best way to get started. + +00:16:04.880 --> 00:16:06.959 +You see so many people who are + +00:16:06.959 --> 00:16:08.399 +heavily interested + +00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:10.639 +in getting started with programming but + +00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:12.320 +they never managed to get started + +00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:14.320 +because there's so much choice. + +00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:16.320 +My advice would be to just get started. + +00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:18.800 +Don't get so worried about the first step. + +00:16:18.800 --> 00:16:21.839 +Well, if I may still recommend the + +00:16:21.839 --> 00:16:23.920 +first step, even after saying this, + +00:16:23.920 --> 00:16:26.480 +do try to start with the + +00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:28.000 +built-in guides. I believe they're pretty + +00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:29.600 +pretty good. + +00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.079 +There was another question. It's + +00:16:32.079 --> 00:16:33.199 +the last question that I can read and + +00:16:33.199 --> 00:16:34.800 +after that, you will have to read + +00:16:34.800 --> 00:16:36.000 +the questions for me because everything + +00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:37.920 +is frozen on my end. + +00:16:37.920 --> 00:16:41.600 +I hope I'm not frozen + +00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:44.240 +in a very bad position so + +00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:45.680 +please excuse me if + +00:16:45.680 --> 00:16:48.240 +my mouth is open or anything. (Amin: no, we + +00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:49.759 +just completely lost the video feed, so + +00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:51.120 +no worries.) + +00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:52.720 +Oh, splendid, so I won't have to make a + +00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:54.800 +fool out of myself. + +00:16:54.800 --> 00:16:56.800 +So the last question I wanted to answer was + +00:16:56.800 --> 00:16:58.320 +"Have you read Dirk Gently's Holistic + +00:16:58.320 --> 00:16:59.199 +Detective Agency?" + +00:16:59.199 --> 00:17:03.519 +No, I haven't.

They ask, "How did the + +00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:30.080 +freedom of Emacs help you on + +00:18:30.080 --> 00:18:33.120 +your way?" + +00:18:33.120 --> 00:18:36.480 +So the freedom of Emacs... I mentioned + +00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.080 +that Emacs, for me, was my gateway + +00:18:38.080 --> 00:18:40.320 +into free software and the freedom of + +00:18:40.320 --> 00:18:41.360 +Emacs was that + +00:18:41.360 --> 00:18:43.840 +you could maybe...
