Hi,

Anyone planning to attend today?

BTW at NovaSparks we have started to use my old (but still way cool :) web framework for an internal web based app so
I've revived it and I will be able to make a demo/presentation in some future lisp meeting. It's too short for today though.

                  Informal Meeting Only - No Scheduled Speaker

A Boston Lisp Meeting will take place on Thursday, August 30th 2012 at 1800 at
MIT 32-D463 (Star conference room). [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.

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.
