Hello all, Now that you've probably all forgotten about this list, it's probably a good time to start setting up a meeting. The things we should probably discuss are time/date, venue, and content / structure. My suggestions are: Time/Date: either a weeknight or weekend afternoon; any day of the week is generally OK, but some specific dates might not work (The next couple of weekends will be bad for me). Location: Somewhere out towards the northwest suburbs. There is a good chance that I can get Roosevelt University in Schaumburg to provide a room for the meeting. Content / structure: several other Lisp user groups organize their meetings as presentations by a few people about a topic of interest. I can do presentations on any number of topics (web serving with araneida is a general topic that I could do any number of sub-presentations in). I'm sure that other people can do interesting presentations too (*cough* Paul :-) My general thought is that we should set a general bound on topics as topics relating to Lisp (Common Lisp, Scheme, ISLISP, other recognizable lisps) and try to avoid presentations mostly relating to other languages. However, I don't think that we should limit ourselves to any one dialect of lisp - if we get *really* popular, there's always the possibility of SIGs :-) Thoughts? -- Brian Mastenbrook bmastenbrook@comcast.net http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~bmastenb/
