[boston-lisp] Boston Lisp Meeting: Thursday 2012-08-30 informal meeting, no speaker
Boston Lisp Meeting: Thursday 2012-08-30 Informal Meeting Only - No Scheduled Speaker http://fare.livejournal.com/tag/boston-lisp-meeting 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).

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. Marc On 8/30/12 1:22 AM, Francois-Rene Rideau wrote:
