Use Open Source to make your life easier

Org mode is an extension to the Emacs text editor. The talk will introduce a trusted system to manage your daily life and keep track of all the stuff that matters to you.
 
The mein difference to other personal productivity apps is: 

- **You** have control over your files.
- Files are in plain text, you can even read them without org mode.
- The application is Open Source, so no risk that is discontinued because the business plan didnt work.
- The user can customize it for his own needs and is not forced to adapt to the needs of  a tool. 

**About me:** Software Engineer, 25+ years on Linux, using Org mode daily for at least 12 years now.
