Kind regards Martin You might want to watch Cask.el [1] as you might be able to configure a little emacs instace with only those things that you need for that demo fairly easily. There are certainly some interesting things there. Regards, Alex ___ [1] https://github.com/cask/cask

Thank you for your comments and suggestions! Running a virtual machine for the second setup is an interesting idea, but it is problematic, as I'm using MacOS X 10.6 and AFAIK it is not permitted to run it in a VM. I'm currently working with org-mode under OS X (Aquamacs) at home and under Windows 7 at work. (For a VM with Windows I'd need a second license and for using LINUX in the VM I'd have a 3rd operating system to fiddle with). I could however create a second user account in OS X for such purpose and then try to sync the shared parts of the emacs/org-mode configuration files. I thought that it should be easy (give I know, how) to have 2 branches in my mercurial repository, one for the general settings and one also containing my private data. Another solution might be to have 2 different stages of emacs/org-mode configuration files and if necessary reset emacs and org-mode by a command and then only load the public configuration for demo purpose.

Hello Martin, for situations like this I would consider switching between branches on Git. If you are using Mercurial, maybe there is a similar possibility. Iannis Z.

I by myself did chose a manual attempt so far: temporarily modifying org-agenda-files to one demo file [1] and sticking to this demo file only while showing stuff. With my Memacs setup (see sig), I gave up selecting stuff that might be private because every daily agenda shows private stuff (in case or displaying archive files is enabled). To demonstrate Memacs, I wrote a small shell script that finds days where I got no time-stamp in my Org-mode files. (Fun act: I found only a handful within the last years!). This way, I chose September 15th 2008 for [2]. I created dummy entries for a demo scenario and stick to this single artificial day only. :-) 1. e.g., https://github.com/novoid/org-mode-workshop/blob/master/featureshow/org-mode-teaser.org 2. http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.1332 -- mail|git|SVN|photos|postings|SMS|phonecalls|RSS|CSV|XML to Org-mode: get Memacs from https://github.com/novoid/Memacs https://github.com/novoid/extract_pdf_annotations_to_orgmode + more on github

It may be worth considering running in a virtual machine. If I had to do this on a monthly basis or similar, you are absolutely right, yes.
