There use to be an editor war between Emacs and Vi(m).

This is now history, Emacs won thanks to org-mode.

• You need a single tool for both notes and tasks.

• Your TODO list application should not be too rigid. Ideally, it is a pedagogical tool, one that helps to be slightly better organized.

• org-mode is both a format a la markdown and a set of tools around this format.

• 2003 : Carsten Dominik starts writing org-mode as a usable outline-mode

• 2011 : Bastien becomes org-mode the maintainer

• 2014 : Nicolas Goaziou becomes the main developer

In the future:

• More closely integrate with Emacs ?

• More parsers and exporters outside Emacs ?

• We don’t have a roadmap: user driven development.

• We don’t have a bug tracker: see the KonMari methodology: discard beforing storing.

• We don’t have a business model.

• We DO have a strong culture of being nice to newcomers.

• We DO have a strong culture of not breaking things.

• We started Worg as a git-based community-driven documentation.

• We plan to write our documentation in .org \o/

• Headlines

• Tags

• TODO keywords

• Properties

• Lists

• Tables

Let’s build a table!

| A       | Poetry |
|---------+--------|
| Nick    |     10 |
| Bastien |     12 |
| Élodie  |     14 |
|---------+--------|
|         |     12 |
#+TBLFM: @5$2=vmean(@2..@-1)

M-x org-table-import RET ~/test.csv

| A | B | C |
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |

M-x org-export-dispatch RET

Here are some explanations about a-function. Then here is the function:

(defun a-function ()
  (interactive)
  (message "Hello!"))

a-function

Now, pressing C-c C-v t I will "tangle" these chunks of code in a single file.

M-x org-todo RET

M-x org-agenda RET

M-x org-capture RET

• Come and play!
