Yet, it takes years to get there, + and if you tried to explain what you were doing there, nobody would + understand, least of all those Vim users who would say that the whole + enterprise was foolhardy to begin with.

Essentially, instead of learning keybindings + for each specific action, you learn keybindings for general, conceptual + habits, kind of like Vim, except that instead of reasoning only about text, + you reason about any aspect of your interaction with the machine, whether + it's windows or buffers or even those interactions themselves. The promise + of this approach is that you just learn a simple language once, and you can + then apply it to vastly different aspects of your user interface, with the + same keybindings doing different things in different contexts, in sensible + and predictable ways. And in principle, whenever that new toy technology + comes around, anyone could extend the UI language to apply to it in a + matter of minutes, and you'd already know how to use it. + + - (Un)availability + + No constraints at this time. + + - 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.

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. Over the + years I experimented with several ways of automating tasks, + refined some of these ways a lot, and found a certain "best" + style that, again, usually offends people who are accustomed with + the modern ideas of user-friendliness. In this style, used in + most template-based functions in eev, both textual documentation + and error-handling are kept to a minimum. I will show how, and + why, eev makes this style works so well, and how users can create + their own templated functions very quickly - as "5-minute hacks". + + - (Un)availability + + I will be available the whole day. + + - 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.

However, more often than + not, those discussions devolve in a collection of anecdotes with + barely any science to them. + + Once and for all (or, at least until org-element.el get overhauled), I + would like to settle the debate by explaining why the way we parse + Org-mode files becomes slower as our files grow in size or numbers, + and how that affects their browsing and the building of custom-agenda + views. + + I feel qualified to talk about this topic for two reasons: + + - I went through the trouble of optimising my agenda-views by + implementing clever regex-based skips, so I know the ceiling that + can be reached with the current tech. + - My work on Org-roam has led me to consider the use of an external + parser for Org-mode files, and whilst we are only at the prototyping + stage, we know what is at stake. + + I intend the talk to be fairly light-hearted and humorous, which is the + only way we can do true justice to the topic. + + - (Un)availability + + I am in CET, and I would rather have the presentation early in the day + (9am-12pm EST would be stellar). If need be, I could present later, + but I do not think I would be as effective. + + - 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.

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. Tightly integrated add-on packages + round out the picture either by directly replacing the functionality + of the other programs mentioned above or automatically dispatching + commands to them. We outline both the pleasure and pain involved in + this experience. + + - (Un)availability + + N/A + + - 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.

Keep + important information about your project where it should be: right + next to the code itself. Not as ugly, out-of-date notes sitting + behind comment characters in your source files, but front and center + in well-formatted markdown and pdf files. + + And, for advanced use cases, see how you can even use a full-fledged + macro processor like m4 to personalize your workflow even more. + Literate programming on steroids! + + I'll walk you through the whole process, starting from an empty + project README.org to a simple example that generates source and + documentation. + + - (Un)availability + + I am available for any time slot or length.

+ +- in-progress Emacs development update + + - Abstract + + TBD - possibly a quick overview of Emacs 27.1 and development priorities for Emacs 28 + +- in-progress Powering-up Special Blocks :standard:org:elisp: + + Name: Musa Al-hassy + + - Preferred format + + Standard talk + + - Comments + + > 2020-10-18: Moved back to Sunday, e-mailed. + > 2020-10-17: Possibly move to Saturday? E-mailed 2020-10-17. Might be good to put this before OMG Macros. + + - Abstract + + Users will generally only make use of a few predefined \`special + blocks', such as \`example, centre, quote', and will not bother with + the effort required to make new ones. 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. + + (defblock stutter () (reps 2) + "Output the CONTENTS of the block REPS many times" + (org-parse (s-repeat reps contents))) + + Here is an invocation that passes an *optional* argument; which + defaults to 2 when not given. + +
+

+ Emacs for the win ⌣̈ +

+ +
+ + 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''. We + will show how to fuse two blocks to make a new one, also within ~5 + lines. + + It is hoped that the ease of creating custom special blocks will be a + gateway for many Emacs users to start using Lisp. + + - (Un)availability + + I would be unavailable Nov 28/29 from 1-2pm (Toronto time) on both + days; but otherwise I'm excited to attend the event :-) + + - 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.

It could be a good way to explore the question of how + > new people discover Emacs, get motivated to try Emacs, and get through + > the roadblocks, keeping in mind that it's from personal experience. + + - Abstract + + Could Emacs be humanity's solution to the turbulent years of + adolescence? So much more than a text editor, Emacs changed the way I + approach everything at the age of 15. In the two years since + discovering Emacs in my sophomore year of high school, I have been + constantly amazed at what Emacs is capable of. In this talk, I would + like to share this journey of discovery and what I've learned along + the way, beginning with what led me to Emacs. I will describe the + many ways that Emacs has shaped my life as a student, a programmer, a + violinist, and a productive and happy adolescent. In each case, I + have thoroughly enjoyed figuring out the best way to make Emacs work + for me, and I'd like to share this with others. In addition, I'd like + to take this opportunity to address some roadblocks that I have + noticed having observed some of my peers' attempts at learning Emacs + and possible solutions for those barriers, taking inspiration from + various sources both from inside and outside the Emacs community. + + - Availability + + Saturday Nov. 28: 1pm to 10pm PDT + Sunday Nov. 29: 8am to 10pm PDT + + - 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.

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. If my presentation incorporates any + material owned by third parties, I represent that the material is + sublicensable to the EmacsConf organizers or that my use of them is + fair use. + +- in-progress Pathing of Least Resistance :standard:elisp: + + Name: Corwin Brust + + - Preferred format + + Standard talk (20m, including 5m Q&A) + + - Abstract + + We hope the dungeon-mode project will eventually support three primary + use-cases related to editing/designing, playing and running/hosting + RPG games. 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. + + 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" + + 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 [map.el](https://github.com/dungeon-mode/game/blob/master/src/dm-map.el), + especially \`dm-map-draw' and helpers. A few sample game maps this can + render are available as org-mode documents in the [Docs/Maps](https://github.com/dungeon-mode/game/blob/master/Docs/Maps) folder. + + Those interested could compare functions between dm-map.el and + [dm-draw.el](https://github.com/dungeon-mode/game/blob/master/src/dm-draw.el), which is an incomplete rewrite of the "SVG rendering" + functions used only by [dm-sketch.el](https://github.com/dungeon-mode/game/blob/master/src/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.
