[Speaker 0]: Okay, folks. Thanks, Anand,
for the great talk. So here is the live Q&A.
Hi. Hello. I see questions being posted on
the pad. Would you like me to read them out
or would you prefer to read them yourself?
[Speaker 1]: Okay. I'll try reading it out.
If there are audio issues,
[Speaker 0]: Sure, thanks.
[Speaker 1]: just let me know. A lot of what you showed
was the type of stuff Emacs didn't do very
well. This stuff looks like it could be
useful for using Emacs with a touch screen
and a tablet. Have you used it for purposes
like this? No right now it's more proof of
concept stage so I don't use it more than you
know just making some demo software.
The next question is, is there a mode for
using FFmpeg through Emacs or did you make it
yourself? Okay so this is something that I
built. So the base of it is XWidget in Emacs,
which is already there.
But then I had to add a few control code for
controlling VLC. So ffmpeg is like a shell
command that finally stitches those bits of
video clips. But what actually plays is VLC,
and it's not FFmpeg. Hope that's clear.
The next question is these demos are always
so impressive. Do you plan to upstream any of
these projects into Emacs?
Right now, okay, let me read the complete
questions. These demos are always so
impressive. Do you plan to upstream any of
these projects into Emacs or to publish them
as, for example, helper packages?
So right now, as it stands,
I personally don't intend to do that because
I don't have that time but I have signed my
signed assignment copyright assignment so
anybody has time and motivation to do it they
can pick up the code and help me with that.
The next is, how did you make that electronic
circuit diagram? Is there a mode with the
symbols already available.
Okay so electronic circuit diagram is you
know the canvas mode but and what you see is
the is an extension of that canvas mode which
uses a symbol library.
And so The only difference is you press
capital L to open up that symbol library.
In this case, this symbol library happens to
be just a library of electronic symbols.
It can be any category of symbols and then
you and use it to draw on your,
in the canvas major mode.
Next question is, I have seen your blog post
with some of these features But can you link
to the repo where you are doing the
development for these packages?
Sure, I can do that Most of these are
available on my blogs.
Typically the Reddit post always has a link
to my blog. But I'll post it in this 1 as
well.
[Speaker 0]: I'll quickly note that we have about 4 more
minutes of live Q&A, but if folks have more
questions, they're welcome to either continue
asking on the pad or come join us here on Big
Blue Button and continue chatting once the
stream moves on to the next talk.
Thank you.
[Speaker 1]: Yes, so here's the link.
And so right now, all of my development goes
into a single development branch in this
repository. But depending on the feature that
you're looking at, you can look at that
particular post and that post will have a
link to the specific files that include the
changes.
Okay, there's a feedback.
Thank you for showing so many new
possibilities with Emacs.
I'm glad you like those possibilities.
And hopefully, you know,
with Emacs, the possibilities are really
endless. So I really encourage more people to
explore it and, you know,
try things that people have so far only been
using other applications for.
The next question is coming up.
Okay, the PDF form filling is especially
interesting. I would love to do my taxes in
Emacs. Yes, In most cases you should be able
to do it unless there are a lot of JavaScript
involved with the PDF.
For a simple form, you should be able to do
it.
[Speaker 0]: Okay, we have about 1 minute remaining on the
live stream. If folks have any other
questions, please do continue posting on the
pad or come and join BigBlueButton with an
ad. And thanks again, Adam,
for a great talk and for the discussions and
questions and answers.
[Speaker 1]: Great, thanks.
