[boston-lisp] Next Meeting: 2012-11-20 at Google, Huang Jianshi
by Faré 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Dear Boston Lispers, our next meeting will be on November 20, at a new location, at Google at 3 Cambridge Center next to Kendall Square Station. Jianshi Huang who is visiting from the West Coast will talk about his experience with Lisp in China, Japan, Chile and now in a US startup. I'm discussing specifics right now. Marc Battyani and I will probably give a quick summary of our impressions of ILC'2012 in Kyoto last October (Marc, are you OK with it?) Other lightning talkers are welcome to join in, either by contacting me in advance or volunteering on the spot. I'll issue an official announcement when I have all the details. Incidentally, at ILC, I was suckered into joining the board of the ALU, together with SANO Masatoshi, Robert "Quadrescence" Smith and Marc Spitzer, replacing EvW, KH, DR, JJ who retired. I also started an initiative to consolidate CL libraries, see http://fare.livejournal.com/169346.html BTW, Marc are you still up for giving a talk? What about December 18th or 19th? I'm always looking for speakers for next year. Any one up to it? Is there someone I should be inviting from the area? NB: Tuesday is rumored to gather more attendance, but the downside is that Mary Chung is closed on Tuesdays. And I don't think we're going to get corporate sponsorship for the food, at least not this time. So we'll have to find another place for food. Probably CBC. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org Director is a misnomer. You're a hoper. You put all these people together and you hope it all works out. — Frank Oz, director of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"

[That's tonight.] However, our originally scheduled speaker, Eli Barzilay, had to cancel for personal reasons. This will therefore be an informal meeting. There will be lightning talks, and afterwards those who want will go to dinner. 1 Lightning Talks At every meeting, before the main talk, there are two slots for strictly timed 5-minute "Lightning Talks" each followed by 2 minutes for questions and answers. The slots for next meeting are still open. Step up and come talk about your pet project! Contact me at fare at tunes.org. 2 Time and Location The Lisp Meeting will take place on Thursday, August 30th 2012 at 1800 (6pm) at MIT 32-D463 (Star conference room). The Star conference room, MIT 32-D463 on the fourth floor of the Ray and Maria Stata Center, 32 Vassar St, Cambridge MA 02139. NB: there are two sets of elevators, you want to use those on the south-western side, further away from Main St. MIT map: http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=32 Google map: http://maps.google.com/maps?q= Stata+Center,+Vassar+Street,+Cambridge,+MA Many thanks go to Professor Gerald J. Sussman for arranging for the room, and to MIT for welcoming us. 3 Dinner We don't have any sponsors to offer us dinner, but we're big boys and can provide for ourselves. At some point, we'll go to Mary Chung together. 4 More about the Meeting We are resuming the Boston Lisp Meeting after a hyatus of over a year and a half. We're always looking for more speakers. The call for speakers and all the other details are at: http://fare.livejournal.com/120393.html Volunteers to give Lightning Talks are also sought. http://fare.livejournal.com/143723.html For more information, see our web site http://common-lisp.net/project/ boston-lisp/ For posts related to the Boston Lisp meetings in general, follow this link: http://fare.livejournal.com/tag/boston-lisp-meeting or subscribe to our RSS feed: http://fare.livejournal.com/data/rss?tag=boston-lisp-meeting Please forward this information to people you think would be interested.

[boston-lisp] CANCEL: Eli Barzilay on 2012-08-30
by Faré 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

For personal reasons, our speaker can't make it on 2012-08-30 and has to cancel. We may either meet to have lightning talks and dinner, or cancel the entire event. Are there takers to come anyway? Or to give an alternate presentation or a lightning talk? —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org It may be better to be a live jackal than a dead lion, but it is better still to be a live lion. And usually easier. — Robert Heinlein, "Time Enough For Love"
