[[!template text="""The first is entirely selfish: I need to figure out""" start="00:00:19.760" video="mainVideo-emacsconf" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""all the stuff I built for last year's EmacsConf,""" start="00:00:22.760" video="mainVideo-emacsconf" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""Maybe you'll get some ideas""" start="00:00:38.440" video="mainVideo-emacsconf" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and start building tools for yourself, too.""" start="00:00:39.800" video="mainVideo-emacsconf" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""The third is that you find any of these little tools interesting,""" start="00:00:42.760" video="mainVideo-emacsconf" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""We take the info from that e-mail and store it in Org properties""" start="00:02:12.320" video="mainVideo-emacsconf" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""If people follow the template closely...""" start="00:02:32.200" video="mainVideo-emacsconf" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""...we can even automatically fill in the Org subtree for their talk.""" start="00:02:34.440" video="mainVideo-emacsconf" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""We can use regular expressions to recognize the text""" start="00:02:38.040" video="mainVideo-emacsconf" id="subtitle"]]
