Type: Talk/Presentation

Presenter: @paubric
Technical Requirements: A brief look through past projects from Psionica and MML is recommended (Mentioned below).
Longer Description by presenter:
Just like there are sound frequencies we cannot hear and wavelengths of light we cannot see, there might very well be thoughts we cannot think. However, just like there are advanced sensors that can help us detect sound and light beyond our bodily senses, there are transformative tools that can help us think beyond what was previously thinkable.
We can engineer “spacecraft” for venturing into the depths of conceptual space, exploring what lies beyond the pale blue dot of native human cognition. AI is especially well-positioned to fuel this expansion through its unique ability of manipulating abstract representations.This talk aims to:
- provide an overview of recent trends in cognitive augmentation,
- highlight the potential of the second brain architecture as a research platform, and
- offer a glimpse into the future development of collaborative, embodied, and enactive tools for thought.
The intended audience for this talk consists of:
- people curious about ways of augmenting their knowledge work today,
- makers interested in building the tools for thought of tomorrow, and
- academics interested in the more abstract dimension of cognitive augmentation.
This talk is based on the recent work of Psionica, an open collective on a mission to augment thought for all, although it will also comment on work done by giants from MIT Media Lab.

Technical Requirements: Yes, Zotero and the three plugins of the talk should be installed beforehand.
Longer Description by presenter:
I can give a talk about Zotero, why you might need a reference manager, and how to set up the holy trinity of plugins: BetterBibtex, Zotfile and Mdnotes.

This is for anyone who is new to Obsidian. We will discuss backlinking, settings, search, embedding and many other features. It is a general walkthrough of the program along with some ideas about how to store, connect, and find notes.
Type: Short Presentation with a focus on Q&A
Expected Duration (min): 20-30
Presenter: @Wace#0765
Technical Requirements: None
Longer Description by presenter:
I would love to share my current process of notetaking in obsidian as a university student. Using Obsidian has completely changed the way I take notes and study, it’s the program where I spend most of my days and the core of my entire learning process. I will probably also briefly touch on things outside of Obsidian, like my organization and general study process, in order to give better context to the way I work in Obsidian.
The main goal would be for my presentation to be the introduction to a collaborative analysis where we dicuss what are the best practices to use Obsidian as a tool for learning and studying.

Longer Description by initial requester: Journalling can be done for different purposes. I am interested in hearing about why you keep a journal and how you use Obsidian for it. Moreover, I am interested in particular strategies or prompts to make establishing a journalling habit easier and the journalling itself more effective.

I don’t know who requested this one, but did you (or anyone else) have specifics in mind? Did you want specific examples covered? More of a Q&A type workshop? I’m down for whatever is most helpful to others.

No worries. I’ll put together something then. If anyone who is interested has specific requests by all means let me know.
I can also do two talks. One that is a 101 type class for more beginners/learners and one that is targeting more advanced uses/tricks.
I have created a thread to collect requests and questions for the Zotero 101 talk:
I also set up a when2meet link to find a timeslot:
Edit: To try and keep this thread on-topic, please post your requests directly in the Zotero 101 thread.

Technical Requirements: This talk will use pandoc to convert between the two formats. I am going to do a talk on that first so that this knowledge doesn’t have to be covered twice.
Description
I will show how you can use the reveal.js framework to make slideshows out of markdown. Reveal can be used to make auto-animated, interactive, custom-themed slideshow presentations. The final result is an HTML output that can simply be sent to anyone to open in their browser. You can see the power of Reveal here: https://revealjs.com

Presenter: @tallguyjenks
Technical Requirements: Yes, Obsidian, a method of emoji insertion (Alfred on mac, or default mac utility, win+. on windows, some solution on linux)
Longer Description by presenter:
Aim for a discussion around how to use things like symbols, temporal components, emoji’s, tags, links and more with intention to lay foundational architecture for a knowledge base to grow and scale without hindering search, rediscovery, and organization. And some ways we can bend markdown to service these needs.
