[boston-lisp] preparing for "Lisp Games and Visual Programming"
by David O'Toole 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hello everyone, Thanks for the opportunity to do another presentation. I've been very busy since January 09 and will have a lot to show (including hands-on demos with joysticks and possibly some dance pad stuff.) I've picked up an HD camcorder and will be bringing my friend Dana once again to help out with video recording and with the demos. He's also been working with Scheme in his graduate studies so that will be fun. I will need a projector or something (VGA or HDMI) for the visuals, but I will bring my own speakers. Last I heard there wasn't a venue yet for the meeting, so I thought I should mention it now. As I will be bringing quite a few pieces of equipment to Boston for this, and have a lot of material, I would prefer the same full-hour format as my 09 presentation. I have several topics to cover: 1. Some games I've released in Common Lisp in the last 2 years. Here's a video retrospective: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr3piK3T6a8 2. What the larger Lisp Games community has been doing in terms of various libraries, games, and projects. 3. My current work with Lisp visual programming and discussion of future directions. As I mentioned before, I'd love to give a dry run of my presentation to a few people sometime before the real event, to practice and collect feedback. What do you think?

[boston-lisp] Racket Days are coming...
by Daniel Herring 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Saw this on Racket's announce list, thought there might be wider interest. "" PLT is pleased to announce the date of the first Racket Days: 23 & 34 July 2011 The meeting will take place at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. It will be an opportunity for developers, researchers, and educators using Racket, DrRacket, Program By Design, and related technologies to come together to share plans, ideas, and enthusiasm. To make it accessible, we will not charge any registration fees; we'll also serve you breakfast and lunch. Racket Days will feature presentations by key members of the development team, including Matthew Flatt on the future of Racket and Matthias Felleisen on the Program By Design curriculum. "" ...

[boston-lisp] [REMINDER] Boston Lisp Meeting: Monday 2010-09-20 Hari Prashanth on Functional Data Structures for Typed Racket
by fare＠tunes.org 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

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 25 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. Please accept my apologies for your receiving this message multiple times. My apologies if this announce gets posted to a list where it shouldn't, or fails to get posted to a list where it should. Feedback welcome by private email reply to fare at tunes.org.
