Dear Boston Lisp Users,
I had been repeatedly announcing at our previous meetings that a Scheme Workshop was to take place this year in Boston, but I realize hadn't sent mail about it.
The Scheme Workshop 2009 is actually happening this week-end at Northeastern University, followed by a Symposium in honor of Mitch Wand.
The official registration deadline is passed since earlier this month, but if you beg the proper person, you might get in.
For the Scheme Workshop 2009 this Saturday, see http://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~clements/scheme-workshop-2009/ and contact John Clements clements@brinckerhoff.org ASAP.
For the Mitchfest this Sunday and Monday, see http://www.ccs.neu.edu/events/wand-symposium/ and contact mitchfest-registration@ccs.neu.edu ASAP.
You might or might not get a lunch, but odds are you can participate still.
Since I'm announcing things, I might as well tell you that the two Lightning Talk slots for the August 31st BLM have been filled. Will speak: Gregory Marton about Teaching Linguistics through Programming and Alex Plotnick about Gabriel's Gimmick, an odd little idiom for (mis)using the sequence functions. http://fare.livejournal.com/146665.html
However, you are welcome to apply to give a Lightning Talk at one of the later BLMs.
While I am at it, you might or might not be interested in the Boston Haskell meeting. The one yesterday was quite interesting. http://groups.google.com/group/bostonhaskell
I hope to see some of you soon at one of these events.
