[[!template new="1" text="""Hello, welcome to my talk, the Emacs Buddy Initiative.""" start="00:00:00.000" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Who am I?""" start="00:00:03.920" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""I'm Andrea. I work as a Clojure Software Engineer""" start="00:00:04.760" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""somewhere in the middle of the UK.""" start="00:00:07.000" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And I started with Emacs during my PhD,""" start="00:00:09.000" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""thanks to my PhD supervisor""" start="00:00:12.520" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""that introduced me to this tool.""" start="00:00:14.120" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And from now and from then,""" start="00:00:15.760" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""I am basically using it for everything.""" start="00:00:17.280" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""You can find more about this everything""" start="00:00:20.320" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""at ag91.github.io, that is my blog.""" start="00:00:22.160" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""So let's get into the talk.""" start="00:00:26.520" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template new="1" text="""Why Emacs Buddy?""" start="00:00:27.900" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Emacs Buddy is an initiative to bring us together.""" start="00:00:29.480" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And the reason is because Emacs is a limitless tool.""" start="00:00:32.920" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""So you can keep learning about it,""" start="00:00:36.560" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""you can keep expanding it,""" start="00:00:38.800" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and also takes time to get up to speed.""" start="00:00:41.040" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""So you may actually extend Emacs""" start="00:00:44.800" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""or you may actually get introduced,""" start="00:00:48.680" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""start using Emacs,""" start="00:00:50.620" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""but you could fall into all the traps""" start="00:00:52.320" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""or all the wasted times that other users have already gone through.""" start="00:00:56.360" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And so, since there are a lot of amazing people""" start="00:01:00.880" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""in the Emacs community,""" start="00:01:04.600" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""why do every time redo the same error?""" start="00:01:07.360" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""So let's bring us together.""" start="00:01:10.120" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And it would be amazing to get a one-to-one relation.""" start="00:01:12.160" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""So I have somebody that actually knows what you want to do,""" start="00:01:17.480" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""what you want to achieve with Emacs,""" start="00:01:21.560" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and supports you because they have done a similar path to yours.""" start="00:01:23.400" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And so they can remove some of the obstacles for you.""" start="00:01:27.440" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template new="1" text="""So what can you expect?""" start="00:01:32.720" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""The main thing is guidance on your Emacs journey,""" start="00:01:34.480" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""because the Emacs journey is infinite, it doesn't really end.""" start="00:01:37.880" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""But the farther you go,""" start="00:01:41.280" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""the more value you get from this amazing tool.""" start="00:01:44.080" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And that helps you save time.""" start="00:01:46.800" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And at the same time, you can meet like-minded people.""" start="00:01:50.360" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And so you can learn about Emacs or about your context,""" start="00:01:54.280" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""if they are in, for example, if you are a physicist,""" start="00:01:59.080" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""they are physicists or they are interested in the field.""" start="00:02:02.920" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""You may not only learn about Emacs,""" start="00:02:07.560" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""but you can learn also something about the field.""" start="00:02:09.160" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And anyway, the idea is that you can move forward together.""" start="00:02:11.880" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template new="1" text="""Somebody asked, why not just mailing lists or Reddit?""" start="00:02:17.040" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Well, the point is that mailing list is many people""" start="00:02:20.400" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""can help you solve one issue that you have.""" start="00:02:24.640" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And that naturally doesn't become a discussion""" start="00:02:28.520" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""of where you are from, what are you trying to achieve,""" start="00:02:31.560" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and where you want to move forward with using this editor""" start="00:02:35.280" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""or using this tool.""" start="00:02:40.000" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Instead, here, we want something more personal,""" start="00:02:42.280" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""something more like you tell your story.""" start="00:02:45.640" video="mainVideo-buddy" id="subtitle"]]
