Neat links from Paul Harper, who couldn’t participate in the voice chat: I am writing in to share my ‘discovery of the week’ which was J. Alexander Branham’s Blog and his dotemacs on Github. He is a PhD Candidate at UT-Austin in the Department of Government. He has some very good posts on using Emacs for Markdown, LaTeX and R for academic types. It complements Kiern Healy’s one for Social Scientists, and Vikas Rawal’s Orgpaper.
Puneeth, I’ve used mu4e with offlineimap to download lots of gmail. It did take a lot of time for ~4GB to download.

Yeah, I’m also subscribed to a lot of lists that are filterd out using email filters, but I’m afraid getting new mail also would be really slow. I have a better internet connection these days. May be I should try.

I’ve been using gmane.org for many mailing lists. The web interface has been a bit wonky, but the NNTP through Gnus seems okay.
I’m so much more comfortable with text than video … if other people join, will I see their icons?

Yup. Text chat is totally cool, it gets saved and posted too. and I can read things into the audio for people just listening to the stream (Livestream viewers won’t see the text chat during the hangout – only people in the actual Hangout will see it, so that’s why I repeat cool stuff. )

uh … so “livestream” is something different from Hangout? :-\ livestream must be “read only”
Sacha, what was the name of that mode that scatters tasks? I think I saw something like that in orgbox…. Now I see it in the Org info. Thanks! Thanks for setting it up!
Something for beginners like me. A course in research tools which includes some clear videos on using Emacs. Kurt Schwehr put the course on YouTube (linked in note) and the course is in org mode. The Course itself is GIS focused. You can download the whole thing with Mercurial. Instructions on the page. I found it very helpful when I started. http://vislab-ccom.unh.edu/~schwehr/rt/
so im learning elisp. Does elisp have any ways of creating private/public variables? or is everything exposed once you run the require command on the file?
We talked about Python, Org Mode, system administration, keybindings, Hydra, and other neat things. =)
I’ll probably set up another hangout mid-August, or we’ll just do the one on the 29th. We’ll see! You can follow the Emacs Conferences and Hangouts page for more information, or sign up to get e-mails for upcoming hangouts. Past Emacs Hangouts
300+ sketches about learning, sharing, tech, semi-retirement, business, delegation, and other topics. You'll get a ZIP file (290+ MB) with hi-res images that you can easily flip through or print.
