[chicago-lisp] Thoughts on functional and syntax free languages
by Corey Sweeney 13 Jun '07

13 Jun '07

I've been thinking about one of the disadvantages of using functional/syntax free languages. In particular, how normally working in a small group can be more helpfull then working alone, but often when using functional or syntax free languages, not many other people know your language. I was wondering how many other people are working in isolation in thier lisp or functional programming projects, and what we could do about it. Perhaps some kind of weekly private irc meeting, or voice over IP meeting, or something like that... A place where we could trade ideas, and review each others code? Part of this would depend on how many people are using the language at work, and how many employers are willing to have company code seen outside the company. How many other people are working in isolation? What ideas does everyone else have? Corey -- ((lambda (y) (y y)) (lambda (y) (y y)))

I would like to meet... perhaps in person if anyone is downtown. Michael, we were in the same class at DePaul. My presentation/project was called Check Data. Was yours the Recipe Site?

[chicago-lisp] Updates: website, meeting, BarCamp
by John Quigley 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

Folks: We've grown quiet here again, and I think we should push for another meeting. First, let me inform you that I've been working towards a website for us on my end: http://www.chicagolisp.org/ Feedback, or help in any form, would be greatly appreciated. You'll notice a big section entitled "Articles." I'd love to post articles that our community writes here. I've asked some people in my language design research group to help on this, and there's decided interest. If you've ever had an inclination to formally write on some topic about functional languages/programming (not just Lisp-specific), I'd love to host that article on our site. I'm hosting a Chicago Linux meeting at my company's place of business (Cleversafe, Inc.) this coming Saturday (June 16th at 3p). We're located within a block of the Red (Sox/35th) and Green (IIT/Bronzeville) stops, right on the IIT campus. Let's try to get a Lisp meeting going concurrently, don't you think? What we need is two people will to give a presentation on anything remotely Lisp-related. Interested? Please email the list! Also, please note that BarCamp is coming up http://www.barcampchicago.com/ I'm giving a Lisp presentation on Saturday at 1600 hours: http://www.barcampchicago.com/index.php?wiki=SaturdaysAgenda I think it would be awesome if others signed up to attend - or to speak - if at all possible. I plan on really advertising for the Lisp group, as BarCamp attracts a huge number of people interested in technology. Hope everything is well amongst you all =) Best, John Quigley

[chicago-lisp] BARcamp Chicago 2007 June 23-24
by Jason Rexilius 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

Hi Everyone! Wanted to update you all on BARcamp and ask for some feedback. The site (http://barcampchicago.com/) has been updated with the basic info on date and location. Its June 23-24 at 1464 n milwaukee. There are talks scheduled and some events planned but I wanted to ask you all what types of things you might want to see or hear about and to look for volunteers to run some code sprints or other projects. I also wanted to ask people to sign up on the wiki as attendees. I'm a little concerned that we may run out of space even though the venue is bigger than last years. I want to get a feeling for how much need there may be for a "spill over" venue. Looking forward to seeing you all at BARcamp and drop me a line if you have any comments, questions, ideas! -jason

[chicago-lisp] Announcing TechCoffee, Season 4
by John Melesky 02 May '07

02 May '07

Hear, ye! Hear, ye! TechCoffee is set to begin its fourth Season! TechCoffee Season 4 starts Monday, May 7th, at 6AM, and continues for ten weeks. Do you code in your off time? Do you really *want* to code in your off time, but end up engaging in debates on Slashdot instead? At TechCoffee, you get up early, and go hang out for a couple hours with other people who are coding. It's like a running club, only creative. Or a knitting bee with less chitchat. Or a hackathon that lasts only a couple hours. It's an idea that's had three successful seasons so far, and is primed to get us up and out in the morning air. WHEN: Show up at 6AM Monday morning (May 7th), and every monday morning after that, till July 9th. WHERE: The Caribou Coffee located at 200 N LaSalle (the corner of LaSalle and Lake), easily accessible from all L lines. For more details (including maps and such), hit http://techcoffee.com/ Ten weeks is how long we last. One commit a week is all we ask. -johnnnnnnnnn
