What's new in terms of the talk +coverage? +#+end_quote + +Name: Eduardo Ochs + +****** Preferred format + +Extended talk + +****** Abstract + +In the last months there were several hundreds of messages in +emacs-devel in threads with names like "A proposal for a friendlier +Emacs", "How to make Emacs popular again", and "Interactive guide for +new users". On the one hand I am absolutely sure that eev is very +good answer to all these themes; on the other hand I know that eev is +based on some design decisions that offend most people used to modern, +"user-friendly" interfaces - and I feel that at this moment mentions +to eev in those discussions in emacs-devel would not be welcome. + +In this talk I will start by presenting very quickly the main "killer +features" of eev - namely: + + 1) Elisp hyperlinks, + + 2) interactive tutorials that can be navigated with just three keys, + + 3) non-invasiveness - people can easily turn eev on for only five + minutes each week, play with it a bit, and then turn it off, + + 4) high discoverability factor, + + 5) a way to create "hyperlinks to here", + + 6) hyperlinks to specific points in PDF documents and video files - + i.e., to specific pages, strings, and timemarks, + + 7) a way to control shell-like programs ("eepitch"), and + + 8) an Elisp tutorial, + +and after that I will present the design decisions behind eev, in two +parts: + + 1) eev is a very thin layer above Emacs-the-Lisp-environment; it is + as simple as possible, but in the sense of "simple" that was used + in Forth, and that is not very familiar today. + + 2) Very often when I am using Emacs - which is my main interface + with the system - I realize that I can automate some task that I + just did by hand twice of thrice; and that I should do that, + because automating that would be both easy and fun.

Our motivations +relate, broadly, to reproducibility of research in science. We +reflect on our experiences with off-the-self solutions available +through the Emacs package manager, and describe some of our custom +extensions. + +When working on a scientific research project, one typically has +multiple different computer programs running at the same time. For +example, we may use a computer algebra system such as Maxima for +calculations, an interactive language such as Julia for numerical +computations, TeX for writing up results, a reference manger such as +Zotero for the bibliography, Roam for note-taking, and Jekyll for +blogging. Switching and moving content among these programs can be +distracting, time-consuming, and prone to error. These issues are +compounded when there are several collaborators involved. + +We explore a solution that looks toward building better "computational +notebooks" using Emacs. We take Org mode as our foundation. As many +in this audience will know, Org mode integrates features such as +writing, task management, program evaluation, typesetting, +presentation, and navigation.

When new encapsulating notions +are required, users will either fallback on HTML or LaTeX specific +solutions, usually littered with `#+ATTR' clauses to pass around +configurations or parameters. + +Efforts have been exerted to mitigate the trouble of producing new +special blocks. However, the issue of passing parameters is still +handled in a clumsy fashion; e.g., by having parameters be expressed +in a special block's content using specific keywords. + +We present a novel approach to making special blocks in a familiar +fashion and their use also in a familiar fashion. We achieve the +former by presenting ``defblock'', an anaphoric macro exceedingly +similar to ``defun'', and for the latter we mimic the usual +``src''-block syntax for argument passing to support special blocks. + +For instance, here is a sample declaration. + +#+begin_example +(defblock stutter () (reps 2) + "Output the CONTENTS of the block REPS many times" + (org-parse (s-repeat reps contents))) +#+end_example + +Here is an invocation that passes an /optional/ argument; which +defaults to 2 when not given. + +#+begin_stutter :reps 5 +Emacs for the win ⌣̈ +#+end_stutter + +Upon export, to HTML or LaTeX for instance, the contents of this block +are repeated (`stuttered') 5 times. The use of ``src''-like +invocation may lead to a decrease in `#+ATTR' clauses. + +In the presentation, we aim to show a few `practical' special blocks +that users may want: A block that ... + - translates /some selected/ text ---useful for multilingual blogs + - hides /some selected/ text ---useful for learning, quizzes + - folds/boxes text ---useful in blogs for folding away details +In particular, all of these examples will be around ~5 lines long! + +We also have a larger collection of more useful block types, already +implemented. + +The notable features of the system are as follows. + + Familiar ``defun'' syntax for making block ---``defblock'' + + Familiar ``src'' syntax for passing arguments ---e.g., ``:key + value'' + + Fine-grained control over export translation phases ---c.f., + ``org-parse'' above + + *Modular*: New blocks can be made out of existing blocks really + quickly using ``blockcall'' ---similar to Lisp's ``funcall''.

Moreover, as a +generality among practices, as Dungeon authors, we dislike impositions +on our creative freedoms beyond those of our own imagination and +tastes, especially those such as of a "brand" or "system", or e.g. +copyright holder. + +In December of 2019 some friends who grew up creating and playing in +each others' Dungeons decided to try making an engine for these types +of games using Emacs and Emacs Lisp, org-mode, and maybe some +duct-tape if needed. In this 50 minute talk Corwin and Erik introduce +dungeon-mode, and explain why we decided to do that. We'll sketch out +the project in both lay and technical terms, provide a tactical update +with respect to completing our initial concept, describe how things +are going in human terms, and share some things we've learned so far +from and about Emacs and the free software community working on this +project, while leaving 10-15m for questions and discussion. + +***** (Un)availability + +None + +***** Speaker release + +By submitting this proposal, I agree that my presentation at EmacsConf +2020 is subject to the following terms and conditions: + +The EmacsConf organizers may capture audio and video (a "Recording") +of my presentation and any associated materials, which may include +slides, notes, transcripts, and prerecording(s) of my presentation +that I provide to the EmacsConf organizers. + +I authorize the EmacsConf organizers to distribute, reproduce, +publicly display, and prepare derivative works of the Recording and +any derivative works of the Recording (the "Licensed Materials") under +the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 +International (CC BY-SA 4.0) license. + +I grant to the EmacsConf organizers permission to use my name, +likeness, and biographic information in association with their use of +the Licensed Materials under the above license. + +I represent that I have the authority to grant the above license to +the EmacsConf organizers.

In a "vanilla" game, characters descend from the "General +Store" (the one safe haven available) into the dungeon, a (nominally) +underground labyrinth of unknown dimensions with generally asocial +occupants and occasional bits of treasure. + +Players can track (as long as the "lights" stay on) the location of +their party of characters via a process we usually call "mapping". +This has usually involved the dungeon master "calling out" the shape +of the map level as the party, in turn, calls out their route or +"pathing" decisions. + +#+begin_example + DUNGEON-MASTER + "Corridor East-West" + PARTY-LEADER + "West" + DUNGEON-MASTER + "Ten feet, corridor ends goes South" + PARTY-LEADER + "South" + DUNGEON-MASTER + "Step into an area. It's a + twenty-by-twenty area extending + West, with exits in the Western + part of the southern wall and the + Southern part of the eastern wall." + **rolls dice** + "Nothing waiting in the area" +#+end_example + +Mapping quickly emerged as a focal point for development. Especially, +we were to excited to try creating an 'on-the-fly' graphical +representation of the map that could respond to changing in-game +circumstances. (Oops, all your Elves are dead. Where'd the secret +doors go?) + +During this 20m talk I'll provide a couple of reference points on +Emacs's image and especially SVG rendering capabilities, then +introduce a series of proofs-of-concept focusing on our experience +using core libraries such as `svg.el' to make them. + +As of submitting abstracts, these include + * "DM map view" - select and render a complete game map, + * "play mode map" - progressively render maps based on game action, + * "battle-board" - track damage taken by player characters, and + * "character-sheet" - a graphical character sheet + * "previews" - view map tiles when hovering their draw code in org + * "sketch" - a "click-to-draw" experiment + +For an advanced peek please see our git repository (but note we're +moving to Savannah soon). We'll be talking first about [[https://github.com/dungeon-mode/game/blob/master/src/dm-map.el][map.el]], +especially `dm-map-draw' and helpers. A few sample game maps this can +render are available as org-mode documents in the [[https://github.com/dungeon-mode/game/blob/master/Docs/Maps][Docs/Maps]] folder. + +Those interested could compare functions between dm-map.el and +[[https://github.com/dungeon-mode/game/blob/master/src/dm-draw.el][dm-draw.el]], which is an incomplete rewrite of the "SVG rendering" +functions used only by [[https://github.com/dungeon-mode/game/blob/master/src/dm-sketch.el][dm-sketch.el]] (so far). Hopefully, it will be +writing our "sketches" back out to org docs in time for the +conference. + +Note on github: +The project is transitioning to Savannah.

I've done a 5 minute version as well. + +***** Abstract + +When I began learning Lakota, the language of my ancestors, there was +no way for me to type it on a computer without using non-free +software. Additionally, the only software I could find supported just +one of the proposed orthographies for the language. + +As an Emacs user, I knew that free software offered the ability for +many types of languages to co-exist in the same program and went +looking for how to enable an input mode for Lakota in Emacs. This +talk will discuss how Emacs enabled me to define input modes for +multiple Lakota orthographies using the Quail multilingual input +package. + +I will also discuss some of the ethical and cultural considerations I +went through when publishing the package. Lakota and many other +indigenous languages were actively suppressed for many years, and are +in danger of extinction. The language is being recovered now, but +much of the available educational material comes from non-indian +people. Before publishing an input mode for Emacs, I wanted to ensure +that I included an orthography developed by Lakota people, not only +the suggested orthography present in most of my educational material. +Additionally, the choice of where to publish the source as an Emacs +package was important, since some corporations have been known to +support ongoing oppression against indigenous descended peoples. + +***** (Un)availability + +I'm flexible, but on US Central time, so no extreme hours would be +best for me. + +***** Speaker release + +By submitting this proposal, I agree that my presentation at EmacsConf +2020 is subject to the following terms and conditions: + +The EmacsConf organizers may capture audio and video (a "Recording") +of my presentation and any associated materials, which may include +slides, notes, transcripts, and prerecording(s) of my presentation +that I provide to the EmacsConf organizers. + +I authorize the EmacsConf organizers to distribute, reproduce, +publicly display, and prepare derivative works of the Recording and +any derivative works of the Recording (the "Licensed Materials") under +the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 +International (CC BY-SA 4.0) license. + +I grant to the EmacsConf organizers permission to use my name, +likeness, and biographic information in association with their use of +the Licensed Materials under the above license. + +I represent that I have the authority to grant the above license to +the EmacsConf organizers.

This sort of +software often calls for an object-oriented architecture, at least as +regards polymorphism, yet Gnus was written well before Emacs lisp +acquired the object-oriented tools and libraries -- largely borrowed +from Common Lisp -- that it boasts today. + +Yet Gnus needed something "object-oriented-like", and so nnoo.el was +born: a rather amazing (and frankly terrifying) implementation of +object-oriented behavior using functional code. + +This talk will be a brief introduction to how this existing system +works, and to the ongoing, incremental effort to port it over to newer +Elisp tools like generic functions, structs, and objects. + +***** (Un)availability + +No particular time restrictions I'm aware of. + +***** Speaker release + +By submitting this proposal, I agree that my presentation at EmacsConf +2020 is subject to the following terms and conditions: + +The EmacsConf organizers may capture audio and video (a "Recording") +of my presentation and any associated materials, which may include +slides, notes, transcripts, and prerecording(s) of my presentation +that I provide to the EmacsConf organizers. + +I authorize the EmacsConf organizers to distribute, reproduce, +publicly display, and prepare derivative works of the Recording and +any derivative works of the Recording (the "Licensed Materials") under +the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 +International (CC BY-SA 4.0) license. + +I grant to the EmacsConf organizers permission to use my name, +likeness, and biographic information in association with their use of +the Licensed Materials under the above license. + +I represent that I have the authority to grant the above license to +the EmacsConf organizers.
