The previous Boston Lisp Meeting on May 28th was a success despite
only 34 participants. Those who didn't come missed two very
interesting talks. I welcome email suggestions for things that will
make you come: maybe shorter sessions with only one speaker? In any
case, many thanks to all those who came.

Could be the light rain, or maybe people are intimidated by the high concentration of elite lisp hackers with their wide-ranging knowledge (just kidding, maybe).  I find it pretty inspiring and informative to listen to (and where appropriate, talk with) people whose accomplishments in my favorite programming language are much greater than anything I have done at this point. 

The quality of the talks has been extremely high, which I assume is due to the Lisp community in general just being full of people doing interesting things, and that is because of the language being what it is.

One thing I was thinking about that would be really interesting would be a talk about Lisp Machines, either by someone who developed some of the software or hardware, or by someone who just knows a lot about them.  Even better if it involves a live demonstration of one of the machines.

On a similar note, I'm curious about the various projects to create a kernel in Lisp and a Lisp OS on top of it.  I don't know if anyone in the Movitz project lives around here, but if not that then a different Common Lisp or Scheme OS project by someone local would be interesting.

Thanks & looking forward to more great talks,

Rob
