Google Tech Talks July 15, 2008 ABSTRACT Org-mode is a large Emacs sub-systems that has been integrated into Emacs with the version 22.1 release. From it original intend, Org-mode is a system for structured note-taking and project planning. It uses strictly plain text files, making it a truly portable, system-independent solution. The project-planning features are implemented using a fairly simple outlining paradigm, upon which meta-data concepts like due dates, priorities, TODO states and tags are overlayed in a non-intrusive way. Besides outlining the system and its basic concepts, I will give background information into the history of Org-mode and discuss the properties of such an evolved system compared to a top-down designed one. Finally, I will also briefly touch on some technical aspects that may be interesting for Emacs wizards and developers. Speaker: Carsten Dominik

   Amazing video!! Joint With Russell video, this lecture made me change from planner-el to org-mode!

   No, thy're called recursive Emacs' in professional literature. Quite a powerful thing actually once you get the hand of it.

   good thanks for your work

   Bravo! Org-mode is a great piece of emacs hackering. It's very easy to learn incrementally - I started using it effectively within the first hour of discovering it, and I will make heavy use of some of the features presented in this video - particularly the integration with calc. My compliments and thanks to Professor Dominik for his work, and to Google for making this and other TechTalks available to the public.

   That said, you can of course also run another Emacs in said terminal emulation running in Emacs, and the truly self-referentially inclined may try to attach an additional TTY Emacs frame to the Emacs in which the TTY emulation which hosts that additional frame runs. Doing so may tear the fabric of the space-time continuum.

   OneNote is essentially a programmer's straightjacket. I am impressed by some of the visual flair, but Org-Mode wins hands down for portability I've used it for 1+ years, and it is essential on emacs because of links and clocking time. I use it as a knowledgebase, a journal, and as a web site management tool. It is simply amazing, and its maintainer, Carsten, is definitely one of my role models in terms of a developer that is in tune with his user community, both present and future needs.

   I think you can start a terminal emulation in Emacs, and then run vi in there...

   Emacs is a great operating system, but it lacks a decent editor

   3. Thanks a lot Carsten and the merry gang of org-moders.

    2. Taskpaper/Omnifocus/Tiddlywiki/Thinking Rock/MyLifeOrganized/LifeBalance/etc. are all subset of Org mode in one way or the other. Org mode achieves it without enforcing format, interface or methodology complexity of any kind on you. It's fluid and it lets you mold it to suit your style. And if you ever reach one of those corner cases where you find it lacking; you participate on the mailing list and convince Carsten and others to add what you need.

    1. I have been using Org mode for about an year now. I had tried a dozen or so online/offline/paper GTD apps and organizing systems but never could like anything. It's the first system that I have stuck with for more than 5 weeks. As a bonus, I am gaining expertise on arguably the best editors known. Org mode can/should be a reason in itself to learn Emacs.

    Have you even ever tried Org mode or are you just trolling?
13. Adal, on January 9th, 2009 at 19:16:01 Said:
    Someone needs to introduce this dude to OneNote. :-)

    GTD should be part of the title for this for those searching for GTD related things
