This presentation is for people interested in thinking about Emacs as a tool sophisticated enough to cater to the complex assemblage of tasks, people, activities/outcomes, tools (Markauskaite & Goodyear). Some software oversimplifies. Emacs both helps users implement design pattern learning that can cope with complexity while also modeling design pattern learning. By championing the opportunity for users to also be co-creators (cf. Beaty et al.), the free software design at the core and center of Emacs teaches us a way of "being" (Alexander, Gabriel) that can be extended to both the Emacs community and beyond, in a knowledge of how to live (Stiegler, Illich). 1. Definition of design patterns and relation to Emacs 2. Why this approach matters 3. Managing complexity: Emacs as mind map 4. Emacs as design pattern framework 5. Personal customization 6. Implementing Emacs as a model for learning 7. Emacs as accommodating complex social, community assemblages # References - Andler, D. & Guerry, B.
