Boston Lisp Meeting: Monday 2010-09-20 Hari Prashanth on Functional Data Structures for Typed Racket http://fare.livejournal.com/158662.html A Boston Lisp Meeting will take place on Monday, September 20th 2010 at 1800 at NEU WVH 366. Hari Prashanth will speak about Functional Data Structures for Typed Racket. Additionally, we will have two Lightning Talks. Speakers to be announced. 1 Hari Prashanth on Functional Data Structures for Typed Racket Scheme provides excellent language support for programming in a functional style, but little in the way of library support. In this talk, I present our experience developing a comprehensive library of functional data structures in Typed Racket a typed variant of Racket, which allows us to maintain the type invariants of the original definitions. Hari Prashanth is a Master's student at Northeastern University. He is working with Sam Tobin-Hochstadt for his thesis. His advisor is Matthias Felleisen. http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/krhari/ 2 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. 3 Time and Location The Lisp Meeting will take place on Monday, September 20th 2010 at 1800 (6pm) at NEU WVH 366. This is at Northeastern University, in the Computer Science building WVH (West Village H, see http://tmp.barzilay.org/wvh.jpg this picture) when you arrive from the T on Huntington Avenue near to Parker St (Green E line, stop at Northeastern Station, or possibly Museum of Fine Arts; you can also walk from Ruggles on the Orange line). As the number indicates, the room is on the third floor. Northeastern maps and direction: http://www.northeastern.edu/campusmap/maps.html Many thanks go to Eli Barzilay for arranging for the room, and to Northeastern University for welcoming us. 4 No Dinner We haven't been able to renew sponsorship from our usual partners for 2010, and are not planning to have after-meeting buffet anymore at this point. An informal group will probably gather to have dinner within walking distance of the venue. 5 More about the Meeting The previous Boston Lisp Meeting on Monday, July 26th 2010 had about participants. Slava Pestov spoke about Factor: an interactive, dynamic, stack-based programming language. http://fare.livejournal.com/157280.html 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://boston-lisp.org/ 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.

Next Boston Lisp Meeting: Monday 2010-07-26 Slava Pestov on Factor (factorcode.org) http://fare.livejournal.com/157280.html I'm looking for volunteers to: 1- take over the website. 2- post flyers around Boston campuses (see attachment). 3- give lightning talks. 4- record the talks. 5- edit and publish the talks online.

Slava Pestov will speak about Factor: an interactive, dynamic, stack-based programming language. Additionally, we will have two Lightning Talks. Speakers to be announced. Note that lacking a sponsor, buffet is no longer being offered after our meetings. 1 Slava Pestov on Factor: an interactive, dynamic, stack-based programming language Factor is a new dynamically-typed language. http://factorcode.org/ Factor's strengths include an extensive standard library, an interactive development environment, extensive meta-programming features, efficient support for operations on packed binary data, and interoperability with C. The presentation will cover the Factor language and environment, demonstrate some interesting features, and touch upon the history and motivations behind the project. [lisp_cycle] Slava Pestov started programming in elementary school using HyperCard, then moved on to Java. After getting a lot of useful work done in Java, he then moved on to study esoteric programming languages, and like any self-respecting language enthusiast, noticed that all existing ones were lacking and decided to write his own. 2 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. 3 Time and Location The Lisp Meeting will take place on Monday, July 26th 2010 at 1800 (6pm) at MIT 34-401B. Note that it's a new location.

[boston-lisp] Looking for speaker
by Faré 06 Jun '10

06 Jun '10

We don't have a speaker for June, yet. Any volunteer / idea ? Also, this time I'd like to put more flyers around to attract people, and will be looking for volunteers to help stick them.

[boston-lisp] Mini-DV camcorder wanted
by Daniel Herring 24 May '10

24 May '10

Hi all, Odd Q: Would anyone lend me their Mini-DV camcorder for a month? One with a USB (preferable) or Firewire connection. We have a bunch of ILC-2009 videos in that format, but I don't have compatible equipment... Thanks, Daniel

[boston-lisp] [ann] ILC-2010
by Daniel Herring 24 May '10

24 May '10

Hi Faré, If there is still space on Monday's schedule, I'd be happy to give a brief announcement for ILC-2010. Later, Daniel ---------- Greetings, The ALU is pleased to announce that the International Lisp Conference 2010 (ILC-2010) will be held mid October in Reno, Nevada. ILC-2010 will be colocated with OOPSLA/SPLASH. http://splashcon.org/ Colocated conferences allow people to explore other sessions; but the ILC itself will be the same independent, lisp-intensive event you've grown to love. More announcements, including the ILC conference website and call for papers, will appear in the coming weeks. Sincerely, p.p. Daniel Herring ALU Board of Directors

Note that lacking a sponsor, buffet will no longer be offered after our meetings. 1 Marc Battyani on Leveraging Common Lisp and FPGAs for ultra high performance computing Programming FPGAs for high performance computing applications is a very complex and not really well specified or even understood task and this is why the use of Common Lisp is a key enabler for this kind of applications. We will show how we use Common Lisp to generate code that beats C/C++ by several orders of magnitude. 2 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.
