Aloha Stefan,
Thanks for the recording. You've done a wonderful job integrating the
lecture with the slides and the questions following. As a viewer, I
felt I hadn't missed a thing.
I'm not sure what to make of Carsten's statement about himself at the
beginning: "I'm not a programmer." I wish I were half the programmer
Carsten isn't!
All the best,
Tom

This is great, thanks a lot, Stefan, for all the work you have put
into making this available.
Next stop: I want to be on FLOSS weekly (But Randal Schwartz did not

It would be great to have this talk on Google Video or YouTube or
another video streaming webpage.
I would "spread the word" more easily with such links....

I noticed the org color config in the talk was much
catchier (e.g. the keywords with bgcolor) than in the default org
config. It would be a good idea to make org more appealing by
coming up with a sexier color scheme. The appearance of org on
the main page of orgmode.org is very spartan and can be a turn
off for newbies who are used to applications with a more
elaborate visual design.
I think a better choice of default colors could improve the first
impression a bit. Maybe people could send to the list screenshots
of their config and one of the better ones could be used as a new
default.

I agree with this. The appearance of TODO keywords being buttons is very
nice.
About the talk: Too bad that the audio quality of the wireless(?)
microphone is so bad. The talk itself was very good.
And another positive thing worth mentioning: Whoever did this
translucent overlay business from your monitor over your face. That was
a great way to handle these kinds of presentation.

The problem I see here is that if a new user downloads Emacs,
it will have white background and only default colors.
I could of course make the screenshot on orgmode.org with my
color scheme[1], but then new users would not like the first
impression they get when they download emacs and install Org.
I am interested in a discussion about how to handle this issue.
- Carsten
[1] The color scheme is based on the scheme by Peter Jones, who
in particular came up with the idea to make the TODO keywords look
like buttons. I use that idea, but with different colors. The
exact colors were not my creation, because I am really not talended
in this area. But I agree they look great - they were selected
by the same designer who created the special logo used on all
our spreadshirt shop items...

For every face you can define colors for light and dark background:
background: The kind of background—either light or dark.
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/elisp/html_node/Defining-Faces.html#Defining-
Faces
So there should be two color schemes: one for light and one for dark
background and emacs would use the first one for the default light
background.

Can we get a copy of the color configuration you are using?

Ogg version has a very lousy sound :-( As if it was pushed through
a ~500Hz bandpass filter. But nevertheless thank you very much.
Carsten, can I (we?) use this presentation as a base to promote org-mode
at my faculty? How did you do that keystroke showing thing?

Yes. Just like with the Google Tech Talk, the slides are available
under a creative commons attribution license. I have uploaded them
in various formats here:
http://orgmode.org/talks/
> How did you do that keystroke showing thing?
The little videos are screen captures made with iShowU HD on my
macbook. That program has a feature to capture key strokes and show
them. I only with I could make it to show all the control and meta
combinations in a format that matches Emacs conventions.

It's probably possible to improve the soundtrack. If I can work out how
to demux Quicktime files I'll have a go. Meanwhile if you play the
Quicktime version using VLC and choose Tools/Effects/Filters/Audio the
sound is greatly improved if you choose Reggae (really try it yourself).

Yes, I have put my color config here:
http://orgmode.org/cd-colors.el
This started as a copy of Peter Jones config and was then edited and
hacked - which is why it may not be in the most convenient shape.
Feel free to package it up nicely and send me a better version.
You also need something like this, adapted to your todo keywords.
(setq org-todo-keyword-faces
'(("SDMB" . cd-org-someday-kwd-face)

Hi Tom,
yes, I know that every face has two definitions - in fact it has often
more, for different numbers of available colors.
Still, I am hesitating to install this as (dark) default. I think it
would be great if this could be included as an option, but I do not
want to add this as standard - in particular because I think many of
the colors only make sense when they are also applied in other buffers
like source code buffers, using similar font-lock faces.
I did publish my color stuff earlier today in this thread. If someone
wants to take it, clean it up and turn it into a color theme - I think
this would be he best option.

I found a "minor" bug in cd-colors.el
I use a variation of background/foreground according to day/night
environments as suggested in
http://www.jurta.org/en/emacs/dotemacs
and which I reproduce below
But using cd-colors and the day option which means
(set-background-color "white")
(set-foreground-color "black")
I notice that the face org-hide remains black.
As I use
(setq org-hide-leading-stars t)
this is not quite convenient.
So I commented the line of org-hide in cd-colors and everything worked fine!
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
`(org-tag ((t (:foreground ,tag))))
;; `(org-hide ((t (:foreground "#191919"))))
`(org-todo ((t (:background ,todo-bg :foreground "white" ,@box))))

I think that many of these faces will not work properly with a white
background - they are all only for a dark background. I would have
thought that the entire scheme is unusable with white.

Well,
It works for white backgrounds but this color scheme is far from optimum.
As I use both white background and black background for the night (I have
read some academic papers that said white background is better for the eye
fatigue but I am not quite sure of it) I need a white background setup
Anyone out there has a proposal of color schemes for white (or at least not
dark) backgrounds which could share with us?
