- User stories - in-progress Emacs News Highlights :lightning:user: Name: Sacha Chua - Preferred format 10 minutes - (Un)availability Available maybe 9am-3pm EST - Abstract Quick highlights from Emacs News since the last EmacsConf - 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 An Emacs Developer Story: From User to Maintainer :standard:user:community: Name: Leo Vivier - Preferred format Standard Talk (20 min). - Abstract In light of the new development philosophy for Org-mode, I would like to present my developer story from discovering Org-mode in 2014 to becoming a maintainer for a big project in 2020. The goal is to show the logical progression between interest, gaining skills, becoming an expert, authoring, contributing and maintaining, in hope that it would bolster people to do the same. As someone who majored in a non CS-related degree, I feel that my story has a potential to grasp the attention of many attendees, since I basically started from the bottom of the ladder. Most people should be able to relate to one step on that ladder, which should hopefully encourage them to reach for the next step. My init files, which show the organic growth of my configuration: Org-roam, the software which I am maintaining - (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 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. - Exploring Emacs's flexibility - in-progress Idea to Novel Superstructure: Emacs for Writing :standard:lightning:user: Name: Bala Ramadurai - Preferred format Standard talk (I am ok to reduce this to a lightning talk as well) - Abstract You want to write a novel, but you don't know how to create an outline. You have a seed idea for a novel, and you intend to expand it into a complete story. You have many ideas for a novel, and you are wondering how to proceed. You started writing your heart out, and you now feel the need to create a framework for a novel. Worry not, Emacs is here to the rescue. Listen to this talk to find out how to develop your story idea into a framework for a novel, all within your favourite text editor, Emacs. What you will learn during the session: - How to write a single-line plot for a novel - How to write the backbone of the novel, the main character arc - How to create characters and write their arcs - How to create a story design - How to create the scenes design - How to plan your novel writing project - How to track your project The modified Emacs template has all the ingredients and flow to start from a basic idea to a full fledged thrashed out novel superstructure. Once you are done with the superstructure, you can use the planning and clocking infrastructure to finish scene after scene, thus finishing your masterpiece. We will use: - The snowflake method - - The seven-point story structure - - The original emacs writing template - - Some spices from the speaker's kitchen - (Un)availability Available between 01:30pm and 06:30pm UTC on Nov 28, 2020. Also available between 01:30pm and 05:00pm UTC. - 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 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 Music in Plain Text :music:user:lightning: Name: Jonathan Gregory - Preferred format 10 minutes - Abstract LilyPond is an extensible program for producing high-quality sheet music engraved with traditional layout rules. Similar to LaTeX and other typesetting programs, its input format simply describes the visual layout of the score using commands to define musical expressions. This makes collaboration easier, prevents users from having to adjust layout settings manually, and faciliates digital archiving and distribution of musical scores. In this talk, I begin by showcasing LilyPond syntax and mode using literate programming techniques as examples for building sheet music in Emacs, and proceed with an overview of the setup I use for producing music books with GNU Make, LilyPond, and LilyPond-mode. - (Un)availability Available both days - 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 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 Bard Bivou(m)acs - Building a bandcamp-like page for an album of music :music: Name: Grant Shangreaux - Preferred format 10 minute - Abstract I hoped to become a successful musician someday, and while that has yet to happen, I've recorded a fair share of unreleased music over the years. I decided it was time to share some of it with the world through the power of Emacs! Rather than using the available non-free (or even free?) platforms out there, I decided to build a Bandcamp-like page from scratch. While I could have chosen many of the static-site building tools, I decided to use the tool closest to my heart and automate the process of building a web page from a directory of audio files with Emacs Lisp. I will share with you how I managed to create a personal workflow for releasing an album without leaving the One True Editor that includes editing audio metadata with EMMS and generating HTML while cobbling together yasnippet and the format macro. - (Un)availability Flexible, prefer daylight times for US Central time zone - 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.

A possible goal might be to show people that they can > develop a mental model and remap more keys to fit it. - Abstract A practiced dexterity with the arcane incantations known as keybindings is the true mark of the veteran Emacs user. 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. They don't get it, those fools. Let them flounder about in their "normal mode." Normal isn't good enough for me! I want exceptional, IDEAL, I want… glorious mode, that's what I want. And the only thing that'll cut it is if I do it … my way. Why, with my precious emacs.d, I'm invincible! Well… just between you and me, there are times when learning new keybindings every time someone makes a new toy gets to be a bit of a drag, and some days I can't keep my C-c's and my C-c C-c's straight if I'm being honest with you, but you'll never catch me admitting it! I do wonder if there's a better way to get to glorious mode, even though my .emacs.d is already perfect (of course). If this secretly sounds like you, then rejoice, there just might be a new way, a better way! And you could potentially get there in days instead of years, so that even your script kiddie coworker with their "VSCode" (groan) may at last come around to your way of looking at things, and, maybe, just maybe, even those Vim users (hiss!)! "Epistemic" Emacs is a user interface paradigm based on treating aspects of the user interface as conceptual entities that can be reasoned about in terms of a standard language. 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.

Not sure that this snippet is enough to make package work? Forgot to install ripgrep in your system for rg.el? Got a broken version of package on package-install? There is a way to make an Emacs configuration reliable, composable and self-contained. It's possible to freeze package versions, create systemd unit for emacs daemon, maintain system dependencies and package subconfigurations in one place with one tool. The talk explains how to leverage the power of nix package manager and use-package to make pretty good emacs configuration. There is a stream record on the same topic: . It lacks few interesting points about composability of such configuration approach, but already have enough interesting information. The talk will be a little more structured and more Emacs-users oriented. - (Un)availability After 4pm UTC - 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.

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.

- in-progress Orgmode - your life in plain text :standard:tutorial:org:nudge: Name: Rainer König - Preferred format Talk - Comments > I'm also not sure we need a 20-minute tutorial on Org Mode, since it's > a perennial topic for other videos. I suppose people unfamiliar with > Org Mode will probably benefit from a quick pointer to beginner > resources (maybe a 5-minute pointer). I'm always curious about Org > workflows, though, so if this talk is rejigged as a workflow demo, it > might be a good fit for 10-20 minutes. - Abstract This is a talk about Orgmode, my favorite Emacs application. The goal is to show you the power of Emacs when you want to manage and organize your life. Orgmode is your swiss army knife for that job, and so far the only tool that you can customize for your needs and you need to customize yourself to fit the restrictions of a "ToDo list tool". Background info: I'm using Orgmode for many years now, and I'm not exaggerating if I tell you that it saved me from a nervous breakdown when my wife got diagonosed with severe illness and I was suddenly in charge of everything. Orgmode was there and reminded me of the important things so nothing was forgotten and I could focus on what really matters. This talk should introduce people to Orgmode, showing them what they can do and how it makes your life easier, freeing time for the things that matter to you. I was holding a similar talk at the local Linux Day in our town in 1. In 2016 I recorded a set of tutorial videos which are available on my YouTube channel which gained more than 3500 subcribers because of those tutorials. In Summer 2020 I recorded the tutorials again for a course at Udemy which went online in October 2020 and is supplemented by a 100+ pages course book. - (Un)availability Since its weekend on November 28/29 I think I can be flexible, but keep in mind that I'm living in the Central European Time time zone. - 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.

A person life is rather short though, and one can easily end up carry on without focus. In this short talk I want to share how Org mode empowers me into organizing and monitoring my tasks to make sure I am working towards achieving my vision. The emphasis of the talk is on defining a direction, monitoring the progress towards your planned destination, and keeping a trail of your actions to review and set up a healthy feedback loop. Tools for the job that I will (at least) mention: Org files, Org agenda, Org archive, org-ql, and Org-roam. - (Un)availability I am available :D - 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.

Stick around to see how the various org-mode tools get connected by the package and how you can leverage them for yourself. Bonus: there's even a few tests written for the package! We'll go over those too. - (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.

Finally, the End of the debate! :standard:lightning:org:user:timing: Name: Leo Vivier - Preferred format Standard Talk (20 min). Could be condensed into a Lightning Talk (10 min), but I fear it would not do it justice. - Abstract Many discussions have been had over the years on the debate between using few big files versus many small files. 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.

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 Experience Report: Steps to "Emacs Hyper Notebooks" Name: Joseph Corneli, Raymond Puzio, and Cameron Ray Smith - Preferred format 10 minute talk - Abstract We present a short experience report from the perspective of two long-time Emacs users and one relative newcomer. 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.

But I can do a shorter version too if that will work better for the conference schedule. My schedule is wide open too, so put me in at any time slot. - Abstract Org mode, among its numerous features, has the ability to do full literate programming (with tangling and weaving the way Donald Knuth originally intended). As a programmer, you can work comfortably, completely inside an org-mode buffer. When you are ready, emacs will generate the appropriate documentation and source code files for you. If you are a lone emacs user on your project, simply commit these exported files and keep your org file to yourself – no one is the wiser. Watch "Literate Programming in Emacs Org-mode" to learn how you can annotate code snippets in an org file so they can be automatically exported to their proper locations in your source tree. 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.

I recently discovered Org Mode's publishing features and started appreciating flexibility and capabilities, especially when literate programming comes into play to generate "dynamic" content. In this talk/tutorial I will present the challenges I faced and how I finally moved my homepage and the University of Trento's Computational Logic website to Org Mode. - (Un)availability I work and live in Italy (CET) and I would prefer slots compatible with the timezone.

Parts can be pruned to fit in a Standard Talk (20 min), but I'd strongly prefer the former. - Abstract Org-roam is a Roam replica built on top of the all-powerful Org-mode. Org-roam is a solution for effortless non-hierarchical note-taking with Org-mode. With Org-roam, notes flow naturally, making note-taking fun and easy. Org-roam should also work as a plug-and-play solution for anyone already using Org-mode for their personal wiki. Org-roam aims to implement the core features of Roam, leveraging the mature ecosystem around Org-mode where possible. Eventually, we hope to further introduce features enabled by the Emacs ecosystem. The purpose of the talk is to introduce people to Org-roam, whether they be Org-mode connoisseurs or newcomers. A lot of people have found value in adopting Org-roam and the Zettelkasten method in their workflows, and the goal is to demonstrate how they achieved it. The last part will present the future milestones that are in store for Org-roam. Examples of short-presentations I've recorded in the past: - [Org-Roam v1.2.0: Headlines & Unlinked References - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DoyEMlIxIHXs) - [Org-roam-bibtex - Quick Presentation - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DWy9WvF5gWYg) - [Org-roam-dailies: Demonstration - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D1q9x2aZCJJ4) - (Un)availability I am in CET, and I would rather have the presentation early in the day (9am-12pm EST would be stellar).

It would be good to get the presenter > coordinating with the one doing the org-roam overview in order to > minimize overlap. This might even be doable in a lightning talk. - Abstract Org-mode improved so much over the years, and the use-cases in org-mode are vast and highly technical. There is something for everyone in org-mode, and it's important to sift through all of these features and figure out what's best for a given situation or specific users. Therefore, I will be targeting academics and scholars that are engaging with literature in the early stages of a project or their academic careers. Academics and scholars engage with complex ideas and unstructured research workflows. I believe that org-mode can add more structure to the madness, and I will use this talk to clarify a possible solution to reduce such complexity. I propose a research workflow framework that utilizes org-mode, its raw form, and its many associated packages. However, the main package I will be mostly talking about is Org-Roam, and the way its underlying principles will revolutionize the research workflow. This presentation will help researchers organize and build their knowledge database in a streamlined and effective way. The research workflow is presented in three phases: planning, note-taking, and reference management. I will talk briefly about the packages and special-use cases for each stage and learned lessons along the way. Finally, the presentation concludes with future considerations and possible org-mode features. - (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.

Org-roam is a solution for effortless non-hierarchical note-taking with Org-mode. With Org-roam, notes flow naturally, making note-taking fun and easy. Org-roam should also work as a plug-and-play solution for anyone already using Org-mode for their personal wiki. Org-roam aims to implement the core features of Roam, leveraging the mature ecosystem around Org-mode where possible. Eventually, we hope to further introduce features enabled by the Emacs ecosystem. The purpose of the talk is to present some technical aspects of Org-roam. From the very beginning, we wanted Org-roam to scale with your notes, and this meant that we had to keep a close eye on our performances. As we iterated, optimisation remained a top-priority, leading us to constantly peek under Org-mode's hood. Not only has this made us better developers, but it has also uncovered paths of optimisation for Org-mode itself. The talk is targeted at software engineers willing to peek under Org-mode's hood. A rudimentary understanding of Elisp will be required. Points to be covered - SQL database via emacsql - Elisp libraries - Parsing of Org-mode files - org-elements.e - Parsing with a background-process - Ensuring consistency via hooks - (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.

This talk will cover not only how to use org-webring (including how accessible and low-friction it is), but also how you may customize it, utilize it in different contexts unrelated to blogging (tracking project commits), and even as a way to respond to other blogs in a cogent and manner. Additionally, I will go into slight detail as to the history of this project, why it was made, what we are working on, and what we remaining we need to do before we can submit it to GNU Emacs / Org-mode. I think, in all, this can quite easily cover a 10 minute window. - (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.

In the context of Emacs Lisp programming they can also provide us with a "foot-gun" of immense proportions. Join the dungeon-mode project as we trip over our own macros, so to speak, in the context of building a GPLv3+ turn-based role-playing game engine and game design features for Emacs. In this 20m talk I'll briefly introduce some rationales leading to storing all game source and play state information within org-mode documents (spoiler: it's about freedom), then go into some detail around the "ETL" process design that currently accomplishes this. Finally, we'll look closely at one especially problematic macro deep within this solution, and invite people to throw fruit^11^dhelp draw conclusions, ask questions, and discuss. - (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.

- 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.

Examples include better code highlighting, folding, indexing, structural navigation. In this talk, I will describe the current state of emacs-tree-sitter's APIs and functionalities. I will also discuss areas that need improvements and contribution from the community. - (Un)availability The conference will start at 9PM in my timezone (GMT+7). I would prefer the earlier time slots.

Also how complex is this module? And who is the main developer of this component? Mmm, if I change this file, do I need to change something else, Emacs? Ah, I need help of somebody to change this code! Emacs can you tell me who knows something about this file? The above are some questions my Emacs can answer (an M-x away). It all started with "Your Code as a Crime Scene", an insightful book by Adam Tornhill, and it continued with a big useful hack. In this talk I want to show the analyses I can produce on software repositories with my Emacs, explain how they help me in my daily work, give a bit of context of how Adam came up with them, and show the dirty code that makes this wonderful functionality work. - (Un)availability I am available :D - 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.

Lafon - Preferred format Lightning talk (pre-recorded video is possible) - Abstract If you are working with complex nested JSON structures, you are probably familiar with jq which is like sed for JSON data and great at what it does. However, being a command-line tool like sed, the feedback for writing queries and seeing their results is a discrete process and not live. When working with Emacs, we are used to good auto-completion and live feedback. Formerly, this was mostly done with static input, but with modern completion frameworks like Ivy and Counsel, this can be done with dynamic inputs, as well. counsel-jq is a package with which you can quickly test queries and traverse a complex JSON structure whilst having live feedback. Just call `M-x counsel-jq` in a buffer containing JSON, then start writing your `jq` query string and see the output appear live in the message area. Whenever you're happy, hit `RET` and the results will be displayed to you in the buffer `*jq-json*`. In this lightning talk, I'll give a quick overview on how to use counsel-jq and how to build similar completion functionality. - (Un)availability Both dates are good, even though it's my birthday on the 28th.

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.

Dungeon is inherently free (or nearly free, you do need paper and dice), both to play and to create your own games. 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.

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.

In this talk, I will give an overview of the package. I will discuss the installation and common customizations. I will go into details on some of the most important features, such as directory tracking or message passing.

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.

It would be fun to have a Q&A, if that's an option. - Abstract The venerable Gnus newsreader has evolved over the years to interface with many different types of news- or mail-like backend programs, presenting all of them using a unified interface. 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.

So, I want to talk about the integration with Emacs, the maxima REPL, how some of the main tool for Emacs integrate in maxima-mode and in general show how to start using maxima within Emacs. - (Un)availability I prefer the talk to be in the afternoon if it's possible. - 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.

With a Lightning talk, I'd go less into detail on some of the odd corners of the project, like zero-width spaces rendering with nonzero width. But it would still be a viable talk. - Abstract During quarantine, I found myself spending time with an Android app. One of the features this app has is composing music that loops endlessly. As with many things, I wondered how much better this tool would be, if only it was inside Emacs. This talk will explain how I made this tool inside Emacs, with detours through Emacs text properties, font rendering, the .WAVE file format, and music theory. And hopefully at the end, we'll have something worth listening to. - (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.
