We are getting close to the deadline for the application for a dev room. I will be on holiday and off-line for a week tomorrow, so I do not have time to work on this next week. I would love for this to happen, so the question is if I have to do this tonight (when the kids are in bed and I should do the packing, my wife is going to love this :-)), next Saturday or if I can rely on you to do this application. Also when doing the application I would open up the dev room to Emacs hackers in general, i.e. when mentioning the participating projects simply add Gnu Emacs. I'm sure if we offer a venue there are some Emacs hackers that are willing to come and participate. This will hopefully increase our chances of getting a room. So in essence I would change the application as follows: * Devroom name Org-mode and Emacs hackers * Devroom description ** Topics Org-mode is for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists, doing project planning, and authoring with a fast and effective plain-text system. Org-mode is based on GNU Emacs, an extensible, customizable text editor. *** Org-mode The Org-mode devroom will include a collection of talks from its author as well as speakers representing various other components of Org-mode. Developers will discuss the direction of Org-mode, identify additional tools that would be useful to surround Org-mode, as well as make a plan for widening its audience and making it more accessible to new users. *** Emacs development Emacs development has seen a renewed interest in the last years. There is a lot of activity in the developer community. Therefore this devroom will not only host many fine Org-mode Emacs Lisp hackers but is also open for other Emacs Lisp related subjects around developing with or for Emacs. *** Proposed Talks Some of our proposed talks include: - Org-babel a system for Literate Programming - GTD with Org-mode - Scientific applications - Sharing Org-mode data with other applications (TaskJuggler, ..?) - Org-mode on the iPhone, Android and Nokia devices - Managing websites with Org-mode (jekyll integration, built-in publishing, etc) - Power user demonstrations/tip sharing - The future of Org-mode ** Goals - Expose new and existing Org-mode users to demonstrations/application of features they might not have otherwise discovered - Identify new applications of Org-mode, help users get started using/customizing Org-mode for their domain - Collect members from the Org-mode mailing list in a single place for the first time - Share and refine the direction of Org-mode - Identify how contributors can help with Org-mode development/documentation/etc. - Plan for making Org-mode easier to get started with ** Target Projects - Org-mode - Emacs development * Devroom related URLs - http://orgmode.org - http://orgmode.org/worg/ - http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/index.php - http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-screencasts/index.php - http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/ - http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ - http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel * Name of the responsible - Richard Moreland - Christian Egli * Email - r...@ncogni.to - christian.e...@sbs.ch * Relation to the topic What ever you fancy, e.g - community manager - developer * Remarks Org-mode is a good match for FOSDEM since it brings together a diverse community across many platforms (Unix, Windows, Mac, Mobile) and fosters a renaissance of text-only power tools.
