I just found out that Cyrus Harmon is in town tomorrow.

Let's use that as a catalyst and have a Boston Lisp Meeting.
Since it's a bit late to negotiate, I unilaterally propose we meet at Mary Chung
next to Central Sq at 6:30pm.
It's cheaper, tastier and less crowded and noisy than the CBC.

Maybe some of you are interested in starting a Lisp reading group?

;; European Lisp Symposium 2013 - ELS'13
;; Madrid, Spain
;;
;; June 1-4, 2013
;;
;; http://els2013.european-lisp-symposium.org/
** DEADLINE EXTENSION: March 17th **
The purpose of the European Lisp Symposium is to provide a forum for
the discussion and dissemination of all aspects of design,
implementation and application of any of the Lisp and Lisp-inspired
dialects, including Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp, AutoLisp, ISLISP,
Dylan, Clojure, ACL2, ECMAScript, Racket, SKILL, Hop and so on. We
encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate.
The main theme of the 2013 European Lisp Symposium is on the use of
these languages with respect to the current grand challenges: big
tables, open data, semantic web, network programming, discovery,
robustness, runtime failures, etc.
The European Lisp Symposium 2013 solicits the submission of papers
with these specific themes in mind, alongside the more traditional
tracks which have appeared in the past editions.
We invite submissions in the following forms:
Papers: Technical papers of up to 15 pages that describe original
results or explain known ideas in new and elegant ways.
Demonstrations: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for demonstrations of
tools, libraries, and applications.
Tutorials: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for in-depth presentations about
topics of special interest for at least 90 minutes and up to 180
minutes.
Lightning talks: Abstracts of up to one page for talks to last for no
more than 5 minutes.
All submissions should be formatted following the ACM SIGS guidelines
and include ACM classification categories and terms. For more
information on the submission guidelines and the ACM keywords, see:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates and
http://www.acm.org/about/class/1998.
Invited speakers:
Florian Loitsch, Google: Dart, why you should care.
Gérard Assayag, Ircam: Lisp and Music Research.

I haven't done anything for Boston Lisp in February,
but Alex Plotnick has volunteered to replace me as organizer of our meetings.
Thanks a lot, Alex!
Alex: do you have plans for this month?
