Deft is an Emacs mode for quickly brows­ing, fil­ter­ing, and edit­ing di­rec­to­ries of plain text notes, in­spired by No­ta­tional Ve­loc­ity. It was de­signed for in­creased pro­duc­tiv­ity when writ­ing and tak­ing notes by mak­ing it fast and sim­ple to find the right file at the right time and by au­tomat­ing many of the usual tasks such as cre­at­ing new files and sav­ing files.

Jitsi (previously SIP Communicator) is an audio/video and chat communicator that supports protocols such as SIP, XMPP/Jabber, AIM/ICQ, Windows Live, Yahoo!, Bonjour and many other useful features.

This talk will start with a general introduction into Emacs and Org-mode. It will then step by step introduce the different concepts and applications of Org-mode using the example of a simple project. We will demonstrate how to brainstorm, plan and track a new project, how to take and organize notes, and how to turn the notes in web pages, printed reports and presentations. The talk is intended to be accessible to an audience without programming experience, but will also contain teasers for people with programming experience.
