I work as a Clojure Software Engineer + +00:07.000 --> 00:08.999 +somewhere in the middle of the UK. + +00:09.000 --> 00:12.519 +And I started with Emacs during my PhD, + +00:12.520 --> 00:14.119 +thanks to my PhD supervisor + +00:14.120 --> 00:15.759 +that introduced me to this tool. + +00:15.760 --> 00:17.279 +And from now and from then, + +00:17.280 --> 00:20.319 +I am basically using it for everything. + +00:20.320 --> 00:22.159 +You can find more about this everything + +00:22.160 --> 00:26.519 +at ag91.github.io, that is my blog. + +00:26.520 --> 00:27.899 +So let's get into the talk. + +00:27.900 --> 00:29.479 +Why Emacs Buddy? + +00:29.480 --> 00:32.919 +Emacs Buddy is an initiative to bring us together. + +00:32.920 --> 00:36.559 +And the reason is because Emacs is a limitless tool. + +00:36.560 --> 00:38.799 +So you can keep learning about it, + +00:38.800 --> 00:41.039 +you can keep expanding it, + +00:41.040 --> 00:44.799 +and also takes time to get up to speed. + +00:44.800 --> 00:48.679 +So you may actually extend Emacs + +00:48.680 --> 00:50.619 +or you may actually get introduced, + +00:50.620 --> 00:52.319 +start using Emacs, + +00:52.320 --> 00:56.359 +but you could fall into all the traps + +00:56.360 --> 01:00.879 +or all the wasted times that other users have already gone through. + +01:00.880 --> 01:04.599 +And so, since there are a lot of amazing people + +01:04.600 --> 01:07.359 +in the Emacs community, + +01:07.360 --> 01:10.119 +why do every time redo the same error? + +01:10.120 --> 01:12.159 +So let's bring us together. + +01:12.160 --> 01:17.479 +And it would be amazing to get a one-to-one relation. + +01:17.480 --> 01:21.559 +So I have somebody that actually knows what you want to do, + +01:21.560 --> 01:23.399 +what you want to achieve with Emacs, + +01:23.400 --> 01:27.439 +and supports you because they have done a similar path to yours. + +01:27.440 --> 01:32.719 +And so they can remove some of the obstacles for you. + +01:32.720 --> 01:34.479 +So what can you expect? + +01:34.480 --> 01:37.879 +The main thing is guidance on your Emacs journey, + +01:37.880 --> 01:41.279 +because the Emacs journey is infinite, it doesn't really end. + +01:41.280 --> 01:44.079 +But the farther you go, + +01:44.080 --> 01:46.799 +the more value you get from this amazing tool. + +01:46.800 --> 01:50.359 +And that helps you save time. + +01:50.360 --> 01:54.279 +And at the same time, you can meet like-minded people. + +01:54.280 --> 01:59.079 +And so you can learn about Emacs or about your context, + +01:59.080 --> 02:02.919 +if they are in, for example, if you are a physicist, + +02:02.920 --> 02:07.559 +they are physicists or they are interested in the field. + +02:07.560 --> 02:09.159 +You may not only learn about Emacs, + +02:09.160 --> 02:11.879 +but you can learn also something about the field. + +02:11.880 --> 02:17.039 +And anyway, the idea is that you can move forward together. + +02:17.040 --> 02:20.399 +Somebody asked, why not just mailing lists or Reddit? + +02:20.400 --> 02:24.639 +Well, the point is that mailing list is many people + +02:24.640 --> 02:28.519 +can help you solve one issue that you have. + +02:28.520 --> 02:31.559 +And that naturally doesn't become a discussion + +02:31.560 --> 02:35.279 +of where you are from, what are you trying to achieve, + +02:35.280 --> 02:39.999 +and where you want to move forward with using this editor + +02:40.000 --> 02:42.279 +or using this tool. + +02:42.280 --> 02:45.639 +Instead, here, we want something more personal, + +02:45.640 --> 02:48.639 +something more like you tell your story. + +02:48.640 --> 02:53.879 +And if I can help you achieve what you need, + +02:53.880 --> 02:58.959 +I am also interested in your story as a buddy. + +02:58.960 --> 03:03.359 +So given that, how do you get in touch with a buddy? + +03:03.360 --> 03:04.679 +Well, the thing is easy. + +03:04.680 --> 03:12.719 +Just ping me at this email, andrea-dev@hotmail.com. + +03:12.720 --> 03:15.399 +And I can put you in touch with one of the buddies + +03:15.400 --> 03:16.759 +that are available. + +03:16.760 --> 03:20.199 +Or you can contact them personally, directly, + +03:20.200 --> 03:26.279 +because on the web page, on the Emacs Buddy web page, + +03:26.280 --> 03:32.559 +there are links to their material or their websites. + +03:32.560 --> 03:35.599 +And sometimes you can find the contact yourself. + +03:35.600 --> 03:37.159 +Anyway, I am a facilitator. + +03:37.160 --> 03:41.919 +So if you contact me, I will find the contact for the person + +03:41.920 --> 03:43.079 +that you want to get in touch. + +03:43.080 --> 03:44.479 +You can also get in touch with me. + +03:44.480 --> 03:47.959 +I'm a buddy myself. + +03:47.960 --> 03:49.599 +How did it go so far? + +03:49.600 --> 03:52.479 +Well, from when I started the initiative, + +03:52.480 --> 03:55.039 +more or less we had 10 buddies. + +03:55.040 --> 03:58.719 +We had 10 buddies that are available to help you + +03:58.720 --> 04:01.519 +with your Emacs journey. + +04:01.520 --> 04:04.879 +And I buddyed myself, or I got in touch + +04:04.880 --> 04:10.679 +with people that wanted a buddy, about eight people. + +04:10.680 --> 04:14.759 +Each of these conversations was quite interesting. + +04:14.760 --> 04:19.639 +I decided to paraphrase one. + +04:19.640 --> 04:23.519 +I had this user that got in touch and said: + +04:23.520 --> 04:25.559 +"I used Emacs for 10 years. + +04:25.560 --> 04:27.279 +I'm curious about the initiative, + +04:27.280 --> 04:32.359 +and here is my GitHub that I started writing recently, + +04:32.360 --> 04:37.679 +Elisp projects", projects in Elisp to extend Emacs. + +04:37.680 --> 04:40.839 +I looked at their code. + +04:40.840 --> 04:43.879 +I suggested, "Oh, why don't you use dash? + +04:43.880 --> 04:45.299 +It's something that I'm familiar with. + +04:45.300 --> 04:49.439 +Maybe you may like it as well." + +04:49.440 --> 04:51.719 +And then I started asking, "Oh, what do you do with Emacs? + +04:51.720 --> 04:55.999 +Have you tried a note taking tool like Org Roam?" + +04:56.000 --> 04:58.039 +And then the conversation started. + +04:58.040 --> 05:00.199 +So "yeah, I tried Org Roam version one. + +05:00.200 --> 05:01.199 +I use my own thing. + +05:01.200 --> 05:02.879 +But what is it... + +05:02.880 --> 05:04.239 +I'm curious about version two. + +05:04.240 --> 05:05.839 +Did you use it? + +05:05.840 --> 05:07.079 +Do you know about Luhmann?" + +05:07.080 --> 00:05:09.861 +That is the inspiration of Org Roam + +00:05:09.862 --> 00:05:13.239 +and the backlinking and stuff. + +05:13.240 --> 05:15.479 +And then I started the conversation about that. + +05:15.480 --> 05:18.359 +And we discussed about functional programming. + +05:18.360 --> 05:23.279 +We discussed a bit about philosophy and went on. + +05:23.280 --> 05:29.159 +And then this conversation is not currently going. + +05:29.160 --> 05:32.759 +So we arrived to a point in which it sort of died out. + +05:32.760 --> 05:36.679 +But if I want or if they want, they can ping me back. + +05:36.680 --> 05:37.439 +I can ping them. + +05:37.440 --> 05:40.799 +So it's sort of a reference of this person exists + +05:40.800 --> 05:44.439 +and is an interesting person to chat with when I have something + +05:44.440 --> 05:48.359 +to say to them. + +05:48.360 --> 05:50.479 +And what if you want to be a buddy? + +05:50.480 --> 05:54.279 +Well, if you want to be a buddy, it's easy as well. + +05:54.280 --> 06:02.279 +So basically, just open a PR on the Emacs buddy repository. + +06:02.280 --> 06:05.279 +That is something that I am maintaining at the moment. + +06:05.280 --> 06:07.759 +Or simply send me the information. + +06:07.760 --> 06:09.999 +Somebody just sent me an email with the information. + +06:10.000 --> 06:14.719 +I have created the commit to make it public available. + +06:14.720 --> 06:18.559 +The information is just your name, a summary, + +06:18.560 --> 06:21.559 +what kind of user you are so that you can attract + +06:21.560 --> 06:28.039 +the right people to you, and a link to your material + +06:28.040 --> 06:31.959 +so that if they are curious about your summary or about you, + +06:31.960 --> 06:35.559 +they can actually go and check and even contact you directly. + +06:35.560 --> 06:40.559 +If they contact via me, I will know your email anyway + +06:40.560 --> 06:44.319 +from the PR you open. + +06:44.320 --> 06:45.759 +So that is all. + +06:45.760 --> 06:53.039 +There are ideas to maybe... if... this is basically + +06:53.040 --> 06:54.759 +an advertisement for this initiative + +06:54.760 --> 06:57.639 +so that we can get people that want to be helped + +06:57.640 --> 07:01.199 +or people that want to help. + +07:01.200 --> 07:03.599 +It's building up organically, so no rush + +07:03.600 --> 07:08.639 +to make this thing grow, escalate enormously. + +07:08.640 --> 07:12.479 +But for example, there are ideas to join this with the meetup + +07:12.480 --> 07:15.719 +talk that is being happening in the conference. + +07:15.720 --> 07:19.519 +So for example, if you find out something very interesting, + +07:19.520 --> 07:22.199 +you can bring the discussion that you have with your buddy + +07:22.200 --> 07:27.559 +into a meetup so that the group with which you speak is bigger. + +07:27.560 --> 07:28.919 +There are ideas like that. + +07:28.920 --> 07:33.119 +But first of all, just get in touch if you want to find + +07:33.120 --> 07:36.599 +like-minded people that want to help you with your Emacs + +07:36.600 --> 07:38.919 +journey or if you want to help others. + +07:38.920 --> 07:39.799 +Thank you very much. + +07:39.800 --> 07:59.520 +Enjoy the rest of the talks and chat to you soon. -- cgit v1.2.3
