Re: [PLUG] [plug-announce] Tue Aug 10 - PLUG North - "Emacs: The real GNU desktop environment?" by David Wilson (7pm online)

For me, it used to be that the only reason to login was to use emacs, and the only reason to exit emacs was to log off! It's still my go-to tool.

PLUG North will be meeting on Tuesday, August 10, beginning at
7pm. The meeting will be online. Details are at the bottom of the
email.

This month, PLUG welcomes David Wilson. David will be giving a talk
entitled "Emacs: The real GNU desktop environment?".

    GNU Emacs is very well known to be a highly extensible text editor
    with a lot of powerful features.  However, did you know that it can
    also be the center of your computing experience?  In this talk,
    I'll show you how I use Emacs as my desktop environment and as the
    orchestrator of my system configuration using packages and tools like
    EXWM, Org Mode, and GNU Guix.

David is the creator of the System Crafters community and YouTube
channel where we discuss how to craft custom system configurations
using free and open source software like GNU Emacs and GNU Guix.  You
can find us on irc.libera.chat in the #systemcrafters channel.

We'll be using Jitsi Meet, a free and open source videoconferencing
platform, for the meeting. The meeting will start at 7 PM. The talk will
start at 7:15. Q&A and general chat will follow the talk.

You can access the meeting online at

Jitsi Meet also has apps for iOS and Android. If you decide to
use one of those apps, use meeting code "PLUGNorthAugust2021".
