[O] Training on how to program Emacs
Hello, I will give a 3 days training in Nantes on how to extend Emacs with elisp. If there is interest I can talk also about org meta programming with org babel. The training date is from June, 30 to July, 2. I will speak in french (or English if everyone is comfortable with it). The maximum number of attendees will be six in order to have a convivial atmosphere and that no-one feels left out. I feel that talking about coding is more fun while showing how to solve concrete example. You are encouraged to bring material that you are trying to solve. My goal is to show you how to make Emacs do what you want it to do, while learning elisp programming. The training cost is 1,800 euros (tax included). If you are an employee in a french company you can use your OPCA to pay for it. The following is the link to the web page outlining the training in french : http://www.2i2l.fr/spip.php?article278 I have translated it in English : Presentation of the program: - open and use Emacs - understand Emacs Lisp - know where to find the documentation First steps: - master text editor basics (copy, paste, etc...) - understand the structure of Lisp: code and data are the same - understand variables: explanation of the difference between global an lexical - Understand the bases of Lisp: cdr, car and cons Program with Emacs Lisp: - master operation on number, strings and list - master associative list - master logical operator if and cond - master looping such as while and dolist - master functions - know how debug: backtrace and edebug If you are interested in attending, please contact 2i2l at +33 02 40 3702 06 or format...@2i2l.fr Take care, Ivan -- To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else. -- Emily Dickinson

Hello, I am forwarding Alex e-mail from the emacs conference mailing list. I can confirm that the date for the conf is 30th March. It will be held at Forward, here: http://www.forward.co.uk/contact The venue can hold 100 people and there are various breakout areas, which I think will be ideal to hold sessions/tutorials/lightning talks. The venue can also stream video live, but details about that a bit later. One of the things I'd like to encourage, all the speakers is that the talks should not be a set format, just to fill a particular time slot. It should be any length where you can convey your message across. If you want to make it more interactive, be it audience participation, IRC participation or something else, feel free to include that. The point is to encourage knowledge sharing and better tooling with Emacs.

This patch implements warn time for org appt. It only works on emacs bzr
(the variable appt-warning-time-regexp appears in it). You need to add
the warntime in the text of the entry, like so :

2012-02-19 10:00
or
* doctor warntime 10 2012-02-19 10:00

[O] [RFC] warn time for appointments
Hi Bastien, In bzr emacs there is a new variable called appt-warning-time-regexp. It contains a string for how many minutes we want to be reminded of an appointment. For example, to be warned 30 minutes in advance of an appointment you would put the following in the diary file: 2011/06/01 12:00 Do something ## warntime 30 I would very much like this feature in org. How about we use the same regexp? We could use this when we call org-agenda-to-appt. A typical entry would look like this: * Do something 2012-02-04 Sat warntime 30 What do you think of the specifications? If it's OK with you I will find the time to do it.

After investigating further 2011-10-17 --2011-10-30 works but not
2011-10-17--2011-10-30. The regexp for a timestamp is defined in
org-ts-regexp :
\\([0-9]\\{4\\}-[0-9]\\{2\\}-[0-9]\\{2\\}[^\r\n]*?\\)
Shouldn't the trailing space be optional?

[Orgmode] appointment implement variable warning time
Hi, I use appointment with org. I find that a global time delay for each appointments is inconvenient. For example I need to be warned an hour before an appointment downtown and only 5 minutes for a meeting at work. I have hacked appt.el to keep track of a delay for each appointment. The function appt-add is compatible with the old appt. It should be applied after the feature freeze of emacs. You can download the new version from my website http://kanis.fr/blog-emacs.html Now I would like to hook this change this with org. I don't think it would be a good idea to extend the timestamp as it's already pretty complex. How could I add the number of minute in an entry in a way that's not obtrusive?
