Along the Way: An Anecdote of Emacs's Malleability\nCase Duckworth\n\n\n\n
Emacs is well-known for being extremely flexible\, programmable\, and\next
ensible\; in fact\, that's probably the biggest reason it's still\nbeing u
sed after 40+ years of existence\, and even has enough clout to\ngenerate
an entire conference in its name. In this medium-length\npresentation\, I
will add another point to the data set proving Emacs's\nabilities\, by na
rrating the latest package I made\, \\`frowny.el\\`\, from\nits conception
to its current\, nearly-completed state.\n\nI wrote frowny.el to scratch
someone else's itch as a joke on IRC\, but\nit has been called "pretty use
ful\, for a joke package." I feel like\nthat encapsulates the spirit of E
macs and that's why I want to present\non this topic.\n\nAlong the way\, I
'll discuss just a little of my own history of Emacs\,\nand why I feel it'
s a great tool for non-technical users to sink their\nteeth into.\n\n## Sp

tz\n\n\n\nHow do we manage today? This presentation is for people interest
ed in thinking about Emacs as a tool sophisticated enough to cater to the
complex assemblage of tasks\, people\, activities/outcomes\, tools (Markau
skaite & Goodyear). Some software oversimplifies. Emacs both helps users i
mplement 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 t
he core and center of Emacs teaches us a way of "being" (Alexander\, Gabri
el) that can be extended to both the Emacs community and beyond\, in a kno
wledge of how to live (Stiegler\, Illich).\n\n1. Definition of design pat
terns and relation to Emacs\n2. Why this approach matters\n3. Managing c
omplexity: Emacs as mind map\n4. Emacs as design pattern framework\n5. P
ersonal customization\n6. Implementing Emacs as a model for learning\n7.

X Philosophy Isn't Always The Only Answer\nDaniel Rose\n\n\n\nThe talk tar
gets users who are curious about computational philosophies\,\nor those wh
o might not know how to best utilise Emacs conceptually. The\ntalk will co
ver what the UNIX philosophy is\, the GNU Free Software\nprinciples\, a ty
pical (Neo)Vi(m) user's approach\, and then how one might\naccomplish this
in Emacs combining the aformentioned ideals. The\nlisteners will learn ho
w they can approach Emacs ideologically\, and how\nblocking themselves int
o one philosophy or the other will limit their\nefficiency. Although you m
ay be a veteran GNU/Linux and Emacs user\,\nunderstanding how to use both
philosophies together will still allow you\nto be more performant than wit
hout.\n\n\n\n# Outline\n\n- How can one limit their usage of CLI tools w
hile still maintaining\n the ideals of both.\n- How using CLI too
ls can still perfectly flow into Emacs.\n- How having all programs in Em
acs and unified keybindings is akin\n to a terminal user.\n- Why
thinking about computational philosophies might itself be an\n impe
diment.

SUMMARY:Emacs manuals translation and OmegaT - Jean-Christophe Helary

DESCRIPTION: Times are approximate and will probably change.\nhttps://emacs
conf.org/2021/talks/omegat\n# Emacs manuals translation and OmegaT\nJean-C
hristophe Helary\n\n\n\nEven if it is generally agreed that software local
ization is a good thing\, Emacs is lacking in that respect for a number of
technical reasons. Nonetheless\, the free software using public could gre
atly benefit from Emacs manuals translations\, even if the interface were
to remain in English.\n\nOmegaT is a multiplatform GPL3+ "computer aided t
ranslation" (CAT) tool running on OpenJDK 8. CATs are roughly equivalent f
or translators to what IDEs are for code writers. Casual translators can b
enefit from their features but professionals or committed amateurs are the
most likely to make the most use of such tools.\n\nWhen OmegaT\, free sof
tware based forges and Emacs meet\, we have a free multi-user translation
environment that can easily sustain the (close to) 2 million words load th
at comprise the manuals distributed with Emacs\, along with powerful featu
res like arbitrary string protection for easy typing and QA (quality assur
ance)\, automatic legacy translation handling\, glossary management\, hist
ory based or predictive autocompletion\, etc.\n\nThe current trial project
for French is hosted on 2 different forges:\n\n1. sr.ht hosts the source
files\n <https://sr.ht/~brandelune/documentation_emacs/>\n2. chapril ho
sts the OmegaT team project architecture\n <https://forge.chapril.org/b
randelune/documentation_emacs>\n\nThe sources are regularly updated with a
po4a based shell script.\n\n# Outline\n\n- Duration: 10 minutes\n- Softwa
re used during the presentation\n - [po4a](https://po4a.org) a tool to co
nvert documentation formats to and from the commonly used `gettext` **PO**
format.\n po4a supports the `texinfo` format along with many others.\n
- [OmegaT](https://omegat.org) a "computer aided translation" tool used
by translators to efficiently combine translation resources (legacy transl
ations\, glossaries\, etc.) so as to produce more consistent translations.
\n\nDuring this short presentation\, I will address:\n\n- The specificitie
s of the Emacs manuals and the difficulties they present to the translator
\n- The reason why a professional tool is better than a collaborative web-
based system\n- How to convert the texi and org files to a format that tra
nslators can handle\n- How to adapt OmegaT to the Emacs manual specificiti
es\n- How to use OmegaT features such as arbitrary string protection\, leg
acy translation handling\, glossaries\, autocompletion\, QA\, etc.\n- How
to use OmegaT with a team of 2 (or more) translators working at the same t
ime\n\n\nI will *not* show:\n\n- How to create an OmegaT project\n- How to
set up an OmegaT team project\n- How to use OmegaT from the command line
to work in localization pipelines\n- How to use machine translation and MT
"post-edit"\n- How to convert back the translated files to texi format\n-
How to install translated texi files for use in Emacs\n\nPeople who are i
nterested in knowing more about OmegaT are invited to check the [online us
er manual](https://omegat.sourceforge.io/manual-latest/en/).\n\n# Personal

nNonGNU ELPA was announced last year\, as a package repository\nthat will
be enabled by default in Emacs\, but doesn't require\nany copyright assign

\nActivities are sorted by date they were completed on.\n\nThe Column View
is pre-configured to be exported to PDF in a condensed\nbut readable form

\n\nThe elisp required is all under the "Config" bullet and Emacs will ask
\nto execute it on opening the Org file. The elisp concerns itself with\nn

\n\nOrg mode is known for its flexibility\, power\, and staggeringly diver
se\nnumber of workflows\, users\, and use cases.\n\nThis talk explores jus
t how far we can push the boundaries of the sane\nand sensible with regard
to Org workflows.\n\nIn particular it will discuss shebang blocks\, and e
lvs: two parts of a\ncomplete system for creating executable Org files.\n\
nOrg syntax does not support shebang lines. However\, it turns out that\nO
rg syntax enables something even better —\; shebang blocks.\n\nOrg i
s also (supposedly) not an executable file format. However\, by\ncombinin
g a shebang block with a Org babel source block\, and eval\nlocal variable
s (elvs) Org becomes a multi-language executable format.\n\nIn this talk w
e introduce shebang blocks and elvs as a two part system\nthat transforms
Org files into executable documents that can run on any\nrecent version of
Emacs.\n\nThese ideas are implemented in\n<https://github.com/tgbugs/orgs
trap/blob/master/README.org> and\n<https://github.com/tgbugs/orgstrap/blob

the\nportable shebang block for Org mode that works on a wide variety of\

conf.org/2021/talks/babel\n# Babel for academics\nAsilata Bapat\n\n\n\nPla
in org-mode is already an extremely powerful and\ncustomisable tool for ta
sk and time management\, note-taking\, calendar\nand agenda management\, a
nd much more. Babel takes org a step further\nby letting you write\, evalu
ate\, and export code in different languages\nfrom within a single file. I
n this talk\, I will highlight some\nfeatures of babel that I find excitin
g and extremely useful\,\nparticularly for an academic workflow.\n\nGettin
g started with babel can be intimidating\, but it's hard to stop\nusing it
once you start. As an academic\, I typically don't manage\nlarge coding p
rojects. My primary purpose is writing lecture notes\,\nassignments\, and
papers\, and managing related admin. Typically\, I want\nto try and automa
te the boring portions of my workflow without extra\noverhead. I also tend
to find various tasks easier in some programming\nlanguages and harder in
others\, and prefer to mix and match languages\nas the task dictates. Bab
el makes this process seamless.\n\nA basic use case is writing a document
in org-mode and exporting it to\nLaTeX or HTML. Org-mode even lets you wri
te multiple documents in a\nsingle org file\, which can be convenient. Bab
el lets you add all sorts\nof enhancements to the same file. For example\,
suppose we have a\nsingle org document with all the problem sets for a co
urse. Within\nthis single file\, we could now:\n\n- draw pictures in dit
aa\, graphviz\, or python instead of LaTeX\,\n- use python to do complex
calculations and then output the result as LaTeX\,\n- define skeletons
to quickly draw up assignment templates\,\n- toggle exporting of assignm
ents with or without solutions based on tags\,\n- locally change export
settings or run a post-export hook\,\n- automatically export to LaTeX af
ter saving\,\n- tangle code blocks from some or all of the languages to
external files.\n\nI will try to showcase features of babel that academics
could find\nhelpful\, by presenting some ways in which I have tried to us
e babel. I\nwould also like to be inspired by other people's babel workflo
ws!\n\n\n\n# Outline\n\n- 5-10 minutes: (brief description/outline)\n\nF
or a 5-10 minute presentation I will give a brief intro and present one or
two example files that heavily use babel. I will use these\nexamples to h
ighlight some of the features mentioned in the abstract.

conf.org/2021/talks/molecular\n# Reproducible molecular graphics with Org-
mode\nBlaine Mooers\n\n\n\nResearch papers in structural biology should in
clude the code used to make\nthe images of molecules in the article in the
supplemental materials.\nSome structural bioinformaticists have started t
o include\ntheir computer code in the supplemental materials to allow read
ers\nto reproduce their analyses. However\, authors of papers reporting ne
w\nmolecular structures often overlook the inclusion of the code that make
s\nthe images of the molecules reported in their articles. Nonetheless\,\n
this aspect of reproducible research needs to become the standard practice
\nto improve the rigor of the science.\n\nIn a literate programming docume
nt\, the author interleaves blocks\nof explanatory prose between code bloc
ks that make the images of molecules.\nThe document allows the reader to r
eproduce the images in the manuscript by running the code.\nThe reader can
also explore the effect of altering the parameters in the\ncode. Org file
s are one alternative for making such literate programming\ndocuments.\n\n
We developed a **yasnippet** snippet library called **orgpymolpysnips** fo
r\nstructural biologists (<https://github.com/MooersLab/orgpymolpysnips>).
\nThis library facilitates the assembly of literate programming documents\
nwith molecular images made by PyMOL. PyMOL is the most popular\nmolecular
graphics program for creating images for publication\; it has\nover 100\,
000 users\, which is a lot of users in molecular biology. PyMOL\nhas been
used to make many of the images of biological molecules found\non the cove
rs of many Cell\, Nature\, and Science issues.\n\nWe used the **jupyter**
language in **org-babel** to send commands from\ncode blocks in Org files
to PyMOL's Python API. PyMOL returns the\nmolecular image to the output bl
ock below the code block. An Emacs\nuser can convert the Org file into a P
DF\, `tangle' the code blocks\ninto a script file\, and submit these for n
on-Emacs users. We describe\nthe content of the library and provide exampl
es of the running PyMOL\nfrom Org-mode documents.\n\n\n# Outline\n\n- 5-

ndle\nMehmet Tekman\n\n\n\nSince 2008\, Amazon have released a new Kindle
device every year\,\nsupplanting each generation with a newer model that b
oasts highly\npromoted incremental features which greatly devalues the pri
ce of\ntheir older models. These forgotten models are sold on Ebay and\not

e the true potential of these devices: Kindles are\nexcellent high contras
t low-refresh display rate E-Ink devices\,\nwith Wifi capability\, that ru
n embedded Linux in the\nbackground. Depending on the model\, an idle Kind
le can last weeks\nbefore needing a recharge. This makes them ideal as pas
sive image\ndevices that can be configured easily using a few shell\nscrip
ts. Indeed\, efforts have been made in dedicated hacker forums\nto expose
the Linux filesystem and to enable features such as\ncustom screensavers\,
SSH networking\, and more. By exploiting these\nfeatures\, and by careful
ly disabling the software/bloatware that\ncomes with the device\, these Ki
ndles have found new life as online\ndashboard devices which can fetch and
display information from the\ninternet at timely intervals.\n\nHere we de

hell-based tool\, built initially to periodically\nserve updated Emacs Org

U/Linux operating\nsystem and mark those which eventually contributed towa
rds me becoming\nan Emacs user\, maintainer of a—\;dare I say—
\;popular package\, and\ncontributor to upstream Emacs (among others). By
alluding to personal\nexperiences\, I will draw generalisable insights an
d connect them to what\nI believe are irreducible qualities of Emacs qua s
oftware and Emacs as a\ncommunity of like-minded people. The talk will be
theoretical in\nnature: there won't be any code-related demonstration nor
technical\nreferences that only people with a background in computer scie
nce would\nlikely recognise. Personal anecdotes shall be tangential to th
e point\nand considered as ancillary to the thesis of what Emacs represent
s from\nthe standpoint of software freedom and user empowerment. The\npre

ftware in general and Emacs in particular. My formal educational\nbackgro
und as a social scientist (i.e. not a programmer) and later as a\nphilosop
her informs my approach to this topic.\n\nThe presentation shall be 40 min

Python\, C\, and beyond!\nEthan Leba\n\n\n\nIn this talk\, I'll discuss a
vision for how writing code could be\, where the\nediting operations map
directly to the primitives of the language itself -- and\nmy humble attemp
t of implementing this vision. _tree-edit_ seeks to provides a\nstructural
editing plugin supporting conceivably any language with a tree-sitter\npa
rser.\n\n**Structural editing does not have to be relegated to lisps or ni
che DSLs.**\n\nI liken the state of code editing today to writing assembly
. The reason why\npeople like Python more than assembly is that for most p
urposes\, the building\nblocks of the language are mismatched with our tho
ught process. We don't think\nin terms of registers and addresses\, we thi
nk in terms of variables\, functions\,\netc. So when we write and edit cod
e\, why do we edit in terms of deleting\,\ninserting\, replacing character
s –\; not wrapping\, inserting\, raising\,\ndeleting expressions and
statements?\n\nI'll also discuss the implementation of tree-edit\, which
uses a novel\ncombination of the fantastic\n[tree-sitter](https://github.c
om/emacs-tree-sitter/elisp-tree-sitter) parser\nwith an embedded logic pro
gramming DSL ([miniKanren](http://minikanren.org/)\,\nusing elisp port [re

DESCRIPTION: Times are approximate and will probably change.\nhttps://emacs
conf.org/2021/talks/model\n# Extending the "model" of Emacs to other appli
cations\nLaszlo Krajnikovszkij\n\n\n\nEmacs is a great operating environme
nt in a sense that it provides consistency\nacross different tools and app
lications within the Emacs ecosystem\, as well as\nexternal apps that can
be integrated into it. It is also the most truly\nmalleable environment\,
each element of which can be adjusted or extended\,\ntherefore providing t
he user with more power and freedom in personal computing.\nEmacs definite
ly can be considered one of greatest software products in\nexistence.\n\nA
s a non-programmer\, having had the chance to stumble upon Emacs a couple
of\nyears ago\, the only regret to have is that it didn't happen earlier.
The definite\nkiller feature of Emacs - Org-mode\, is what draws many of t
he less technical\nfolks to join the party and gradually start to use Emac
s for writing documents\,\nwhether personal or work related\, manage tasks
\, emails and potentially everything\nelse. The learning curve and differe
nce in approach\, however\, leaves some\npotential users too scared of the
arcane interface even with all it's quirks and\nfeatures because it requi
res at least some technical skills to understand and\nuse properly\, and d
oes not have an easy way to connect with external tools that\nmost people
are forced to use for work.\n\nThis talk proposes some ideas about how the
model of Emacs\, it's focus on\nconsistency\, extensibility\, as well as
it's powerful interaction model can be\ncarried over to make modern interf
aces\, whether desktop or web applications\,\nthat would be designed with
a goal of reflecting the spirit of Emacs in terms of\nthe aforementioned f
eatures it possesses\, and therefore enhance the capabilities\nof the Emac
s\, while at the same time utilizing it as a backend for\ntext-processing
and editing to a large extent. It would be really great to have\na persona
l web-interface for using modern task management tools\, chats\, emails\na
nd such\, but from a UI defined by the user. The goal is to use it on a de
sktop\nor mobile\, locally or self-hosted on a server\, with support for t
ouch and\ngesture-based workflows\, while preserving the Emacs philosophy
and allowing to\nseamlessly switch between Emacs and its web extension\n\n
The proposed solution is to integrate more of the modern tools with Emacs\
,\nutilize Org-mode as a way to define application-specific parameters for
these\ntools through Org properties\, and then utilize these parameters f
or making a\nmodern local frontend that would enhance Emacs UI while allow
ing to use external\ntools in a more personal and freedom respecting way (
making the originals\nobsolete over time). The talk serves the purpose of
inviting community members to\na discussion about how Emacs can become mor
e modern\, more approachable by people\nwho don't possess the neccessarry
technical skills to adjust it themselves\, but\nare keen to learn it\, and
potentially how to attract more users to greater\nproductivity\, computer
literacy and the ideas of free software.\n\n\n\n# Outline\n\n- 5-10 min

nd customize. There is so much great experimentation\nand work going on o
ut there in the wider Emacs community\, but we would\nbe even better off i
f more of that could go into Emacs itself.\n\nEmacs' greatest strength is
unfortunately sometimes also its greatest\nweakness: it is *too* hackable.
\n\nOn occasion\, people out there add stuff to their Init file to fix thi
s\nor that annoyance\, or even bug. The more ambitious might go on to\npa
ckage up such fixes: "Hey\, 'foo-mode' doesn't have support for\n'bookmark
-set'\, let's write a package!" I am here to suggest that you\nshould not
do that.\n\nYou should submit a patch to Emacs! Maybe more people have t
hat same\nproblem or annoyance\, and would benefit from your solution?\n\n
It is sometimes perceived as hard to contribute to Emacs core. I want\nto
encourage more people to get involved\, and show that the barrier to\nent

ntation I will show an idea that feels completely obvious\nonce we see it\
, but that only occured to me after after using Emacs\nand eev as my main
interface to the computer for more than 20 years.\nTake any interpreted la
nguage that supports multi-line comments\, and\nwhose interpreter can be r
un in an Emacs buffer - for example Lua\,\nHaskell\, Python\, or Julia\; l
et's say just "Lua" from here on for\nsimplicity. So: suppose that we have
a Lua script that we wrote\, that\nis called "foo.lua" and that defines l
ots of functions and defines the\nclasses Bar and Bletch. We can put after
the definition of the class\nBar a multi-line comment that contains an ee
pitch block that when\nexecuted starts a Lua interpreter\, loads the scrip
t foo.lua (by\nrunning 'dofile "foo.lua"')\, and then has several tests fo
r that class\nand its methods\; and we can put another block with tests li
ke that\nafter the class Bletch\, and other blocks after some functions. E
epitch\nallows sending these tests line by line to the Lua interpreter by\
ntyping <f8\\> on each line that we want to send\, and this lets us create
\ntests that are very easy to understand even without writing comments\;\n
this gives us a very quick way to document code by executable tests\,\ntha
t is super-great for experimental code that is still going to\nchange a lo
t before running the risk of being read by other people.\n\nThese multi-li
ne comments with eepitch blocks that run an interpreter\nand make it load
the current file are called "test blocks". The\ncommand \\`M-x eeit' inser
ts a test block at point\, using the major mode\nto decide the right synta
x to use for the multi-line comments and for\nthe "dofile". We can configu
re the syntax of the test blocks for the\ncurrent major mode by running \\
`M-x find-eeit-links'\; this can also be\nused to add support for test blo
cks to more languages (or\, more\nprecisely: to more major modes).\n\nEdua

\nMohsen BANAN -- محسن بنان\n\n\n\nEmacs is a multilingual user environme
nt. A true multilingual editor must\nsupport bidirectionality and shaping
of characters. Perso-Arabic scripts require\nboth of these features.\n\nSt
arting with Emacs 24\, full native bidi\n(bidirectional) support became av
ailable. For\nmany years prior to that Unicode support was\navailable and
by around year 2000\, reasonable\nopen-source shaping libraries were also
available.\n\nWith these in place at around 2012\, I developed\ntwo Persi
an input methods for emacs. These input\nmethods or variations of them can
also be used for\nArabic and other Perso-Arabic scripts.\n\nWith all of t
hese in place\, Emacs has now become\nthe ne plus ultra Libre-Halaal and C
onvivial usage\nenvironment for Perso-Arabic users.\n\nSince emacs comes l
oaded with everything (Gnus\nfor email\, Bbdb for address books\, XeLaTeX
modes\nfor typesetting\, org-mode for organization\, spell\ncheckers\, com
pletion systems\, calendar\, etc.)\, all basic\ncomputing and communicatio
n needs of Perso-Arabic\nusers can be addressed in one place and\ncohesive
ly.\n\nIn this talk I will demonstrate what a wonderful\nenvironment that
can be.\n\nMy talk will be in two parts.\n\nIn Part 1\, I cover Persian in
put methods. With an emphasis on "Banan\nMulti-Character (Reverse) Transli

\n\nImaginary Programming (IP) is both methodology and paradigm. It is an\
nextension of literate programming and a way of creating software without\
nthe use of imperative\, functional or even declarative code. Yet IP emplo
ys\nall disciplines to achieve the miraculous. The only contingency is on
one\nor more language models\, known as foundation models. The real value
of IP\nis not found by abandoning sound logic altogether\, but in weaving
the real\nwith the imaginary. The future of imaginary programming is one i
n which\nalmost all of computing is inferred. I have built a suite of tool
s based on\nemacs for interfacing real programming languages with imaginar
y ones\; all\nof this in order to demonstrate what I mean\; a ‘complex’ te
rminal that lets\nyou imagine what happens no matter how nested you are wi
thin interpreters\,\nan example-oriented language\, a file format that enc
odes the provenance of\ntext and a library for imaginary functional progra
mming primitives called\niLambda. It is important to recognise IP because\
, for lack of a better\nterm\, it has far-reaching implications for intell
ectual property and the\nGPL. Please keep an open mind.\n\n\n\n# Outline\n

conf.org/2021/talks/forever\n# M-x Forever: Why Emacs will outlast text ed
itor trends\nDavid Wilson\n\n\n\nThe computer software industry has seen m
any "popular" text editors come\nand go\, often due to the mercurial fashi
ons of software development. In\nthis talk\, we'll take a look at why pop
ular editors fade and the\nspecific aspects of Emacs that will ensure it r
emains relevant\nregardless of mainstream popularity.\n\n\n\n# Outline\n\n
- Discuss the core thesis\, the features that make Emacs\n desirable for
long-term use (extensibility\, day-to-day 'life' features)\n\n- Include mo
re background on the text editor landscape and\n how the scope of various
editors is more narrow and doesn't compare to Emacs.\n\n- Talk about spec
ific instances where editors were popular\, fell out\n of popularity\, an
d why (due to changing fashions\, not usually\n better features).
