# Following up

Got any cool Emacs links you'd like me to share? You can post
interesting things to <https://reddit.com/r/emacs> or
<https://reddit.com/r/orgmode>, depending on the topic. I include
selected links from there in my Emacs News. Alternatively, you can
e-mail me at <sacha@sachachua.com>. I tend to reply pretty slowly, but
I'm happy to hear from you.

# Questions

## Any news about guile-on-emacs? Is it a dead project?

- [Sacha]: Haven't been linking to things about it lately. Last major news was <https://emacsninja.com/posts/state-of-emacs-lisp-on-guile.html> (May), I think

- The only contributor to it occasionally shows up on #emacs, they revealed they've been busy programming for a living to improve browser JS engines and would need funding to do further Guile Emacs work (like, 10$ monthly from a few dozen people on Patreon or so)

## Is there some kind of online summary page of Emacs community meetups and events?

- [Sacha]: Not yet, although <https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Usergroups> is a start. We should figure out how to make a webpage and a calendar feed!
