Topic: Emacs Prelude
Description: Emacs Prelude is a distribution that enhances the default Emacs experience. In this talk, we will address the installation, configuration and usage of Prelude for beginners as well as for power users. It has a simple architecture and is compatible with GNU Emacs 25.1+. Although it comes with a pre-defined set of packages, it also provides an easy way for customization.

Talk 2
Topic: Two uses for Single board computers
Description: Single board computers (SBCs), like the Raspberry Pi, are ideal for running 24/7 because of their low power usage. Applications that need to run all the time, could be run on an SBC.
In this talk, I’ll discuss setting up 2 such applications on the Raspberry pi:
- IRC bounce server (ZNC)
- Pi-hole (an application that blocks ads network-wide)
Though I’ll be using a Raspberry Pi for demonstration, the tools (znc and pi-hole) would work on any SBC that can run Linux.
Duration: 40-60 Minutes
