planning ahead for this year's FennelConf; if you have been using #fennel recently and having fun with it, consider giving a presentation!

our presentations at FennelConf don't have to be
professional and meticulously rehearsed; we value enthusiasm over polish, so you can demo whatever you have been having fun with recently

tentatively looking at the 27th of December

@1casie Both. GUI on my main workstation and I attach to this session from tty for remote access, which includes my phone (termux, ssh). Been rolling this way for the past 20 years or so, ever since Emacs gained the capability to display both GUI and tty frames from the same session.

@milo Ohh, presented the right way this could have been turned into a great IOCCC entry!
@trashheap In general elisp and the runtime environment are quite stable and 2016 is not that old in Emacs terms so normally I'd say that it would likely work. But after a quick look at the package (assuming you actually meant "JTW", java-training-wheels) it seems a bit esoteric and not very finished so it doesn't work out of the box. But should be doable with some work.

@jameshowell I remember kitchen sink icon!

Looks like the back sink was for the SunView emacstool right? I only had a brief exposure to SunView/XView and I wasn't yet using Emacs at the time but may have seen the icon when messing around with available tools.

The white sink is the sink.h version that was the xterm.c icon.

@zwol @civodul No crash for me and I get results with M-x debbugs-gnu-show-last-result. EXWM remained responsive but as I was switching buffer during the query once I got "Error running timer `exwm-input--update-focus-commit': (error "Attempt to accept output from process XELB locked to thread #")" in the messages buffer.

I build my Emacs with toolkits disabled (--without-x-toolkit). debbugs-gnu-use-threads is t.

@jeeger I use the GhostText extension in FF with Atomic Chrome on the Emacs side (which despite the name is not Atom or Chrome specific, the name just reflects its historical origin). This method uses websocket messaging so it doesn't need nativehost support and you immediately see your Emacs edits in the browser's textarea.

@publicvoit @jeeger What do you feel is missing? I use the Emacs markdown-mode a lot and I find it very useful. Some of my favorite features are the table support, the code block editing and the list manipulation commands.
