Tonight, our Emacs Hangout will feature a presentation by Howard Abrams on "Some" Emacs Lisp Best Practices ... Details of this:

While I'm not, by any means, an expert on what the community, after 30 some-odd years, agrees to regarding the best way to write Emacs Lisp, I will walk through some of what I've learned in creating a ELPA project. These tips should be applicable for any one writing Emacs Lisp whether or not they will be submitting that code to as a community package project.

The presentation will be followed by "Office Hours", where we can all get together and discuss, fix or hack on new or existing projects. If you have a little or big project or problem you'd like to solve, bring it, and pair up with someone who may have some experience in that area.

Hope to see you all there!

Note: We've started a PDX-oriented Emacs Slack group, pdx-emacs. Interested? Contact someone in the group to get an invitation.

Tonight, our Emacs Hangout will feature a series of lightning talks about anything interesting our local hackers have found or made. If you have something to share, by all means, come along.

For this month, our Hacker Meetup will be hacking a personalized breadcrumb tool. Many breadcrumb-like tools and functions already exist (using find-tag and pop-tag is one of these), but writing your own breadcrumb functions with marks from your own favorite commands, could be both fun and useful when jumping around a large code base or document. We’re planning on pair programming to come up with a couple of implementations and share our implementations and discoveries.

Time permitting, we will have lightning talks about anything interesting our local hackers have found or made. If you have something to share, by all means, come along.
