My Org-mode Session at the BarCamp 22 in Graz

I have submitted two topic to the Barcamp Graz 2022. As with all non-conferences, I don't know if my session gets into the schedule. I further don't know what I'm going to present or demo. Just to be prepared for something, I've summarized a few things. Maybe this is also of use for people who will not join the Barcamp.

This is also published on an Etherpad for a limited amount of time. You can find all this information here on this pad and may add your own thoughts and links to it as long as it is online (13 months after the last change). In case somebody destroyed the document, you can always use the Timeslider feature in the upper right hand corner to go back in time and see the change history or even revert changes if necessary (vandalism). I saved a revision after finishing my own preparations. You can navigate to that as well if you like.

For read-only archiving purposes, this is also published here.

First things first: use, whatever gets your job done but pretty-please do respect the ideas from How to Choose a Tool!

I'm not trying to convince anybody to use the same tools I'm using. You do have different requirements and therefore end up choosing differnt tools (again: How to Choose a Tool).

This demo is designed as food for thought: If you're using a flexible knowledge management yourself already, ideas presented here should be implemented with your tool of choice. (Let me know.)
