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 - l workflow and fun:\n- Bin\, C. (2020). Mastering Emacs in one year. .

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!\ - n\n\n\n# Outline\n\n- 5-10 minutes: (brief description/outline)\n\nFor a - 5-10 minute presentation I will give a brief intro and present one or two - example files that heavily use babel.

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.

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.

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 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 - Ochs -END:VEVENT -BEGIN:VEVENT -SUMMARY:Let's talk about bug trackers -LOCATION:https://emacsconf.org/ -UID:emacsconf-2021-bug -URL:https://emacsconf.org/2021/talks/bug -DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20211128T134900 -DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20211128T140900 -DTSTAMP:20211027T123427 -DESCRIPTION: Times are approximate and will probably change.\nhttps://emacs - conf.org/2021/talks/bug\n# Let's talk about bug trackers\nBastien Guerry\n - \nFor 17 years\, the Org developers didn't use a bug tracker\,\nshamelessl - y failing the Joel Spolsky test.

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 + l workflow and fun:\n- Bin\, C. (2020). Mastering Emacs in one year. .

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!\ + n\n\n\n# Outline\n\n- 5-10 minutes: (brief description/outline)\n\nFor a + 5-10 minute presentation I will give a brief intro and present one or two + example files that heavily use babel.

(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?

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.

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?

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 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".

It is an\next + ension of literate programming and a way of creating software without\nthe + use of imperative\, functional or even declarative code. Yet IP employs\n + all disciplines to achieve the miraculous. The only contingency is on one\ + nor more language models\, known as foundation models. The real value of I + P\nis not found by abandoning sound logic altogether\, but in weaving the + real\nwith the imaginary. The future of imaginary programming is one in wh + ich\nalmost all of computing is inferred. I have built a suite of tools ba + sed on\nemacs for interfacing real programming languages with imaginary on + es\; all\nof this in order to demonstrate what I mean\; a ‘complex’ termin + al that lets\nyou imagine what happens no matter how nested you are within + interpreters\,\nan example-oriented language\, a file format that encodes + the provenance of\ntext and a library for imaginary functional programmin + g primitives called\niLambda. It is important to recognise IP because\, fo + r lack of a better\nterm\, it has far-reaching implications for intellectu + al property and the\nGPL.
