And as I said in my previous email, I have made two emacs minor modes (one is evil-dvorak, which is available on melpa), but I'm just not an expert emacs hacker. And I probably won't become one before the event. Anyway, I did not think to get on #emacs IRC to ask questions, so I'll be sure to use that for the event! Thanks so much for that suggestio= n! However, IRC is a bit less than ideal. Asking questions on IRC is ok, but not great. Every other sponsor at the event (ie: Apple, Wolfram, pebble, MS, twilio, among others to name a few) will have a seasoned developer present. So if someone wants to use pebble's API, they will get a quick speedy response from someone who knows exactly what they're doing. So I would prefer to talk to some emacs developers via skype (or some alternate program), because skype is soooo much faster at communicating than IRC. Is anyone willing to be on skype for a few hours this weekend? Thanks, Joshua
