Description

In the talk, I'll cover my brief experience using Emacs across three major operating systems, how it influenced the other tools within my toolset, my effort to share my configuration with the rest of us, and eventually super-emacs: my attempt at a minimal but feature-full starter pack for Emacs that I've been maintaining for over a decade now.

About the speaker: I, Mohammed Ismail Ansari (aka myTerminal), come from an academic background in Electronics Engineering, and have been working professionally as a software engineer since seventeen years. I love to create and experiment with all kinds of machines, not just computers, enjoying the exploration and tinkering process. In the recent years I've also discovered my interest in personal productivity, and pairing them with some of the core elements within my toolset, including Linux, Emacs, and many other open-source software everything fits in place as if it was supposed to be.
