[chicago-lisp] Chicago Lisp meeting planning: April 18th @ 7p
Folks: We're looking to stage our next monthly meeting one week from today. We need to pull things together as a group to make this happen, and I'm happy to try to coordinate things as best I can. What I do need: help finding a place where we can meet! We're looking for someplace around the loop area, with decent presentation facilities (white board, projector) that is freely available. Anyone have leads? Let's try to get this straightened away this weekend so that we can make appropriately timed announcements to other programming groups around Chicago. - John Quigley
210 s clark conference room is available..

Cool, thanks Jason! Do you think you'll have a projector by that time? Note to others: this room is on the smallish side. If I do in fact invite ChiPy et. al., we will need more space. Please keep the location thoughts coming. - John Quigley
Do we need to RSVP with building security or anything to get access to that office? What floor/Suite # is it? Thanks, Peter On Fri, Apr 11, 2008 at 4:05 PM, Jason Rexilius <jason@hostedlabs.com> wrote:

No need to RSVP, sign in at front desk, say you are going to the 24th floor. There is only one unit on the 24th floor, directly across from elevator with glass reception window and little door bell. John should be there to let people in door. Conference room is inside, first room to left on left. Wifi key is written on whiteboard. No projector handy (sorry). Beer is in the fridge in the kitchen. Kitchen and bathroom are down hall to right as you walk in front door. uhh.. that should be it. I wont be able to make it as leaving for London but I'll make next one. John has my cell, but just in case: 847.208.1000. Enjoy! -jason Peter Christensen wrote:

There was general agreement that after meeting food and drinks was desirable. If this is still the case, and you have a place in mind, please offer it up. Elephant & Castle in the loop is always a safe bet. - John Quigley
Folks: What groups do we want to advertise this meeting to? I've already hit Chicago Linux, and I'll also do ChiPy. We want to be somewhat careful here as our venue for this Friday is on the smaller side. - John Quigley
Here's my announcement on my website: http://www.pchristensen.com/blog/articles/chicago-lisp-meeting-friday-418/ Chicago Lisp Meeting, Friday 4/18<http://www.pchristensen.com/blog/articles/chicago-lisp-meeting-friday-418/> April 15th, 2008 Announcing the next Chicago Lisp meeting! *WHEN*: this Friday, April 18th at 7pm. *WHERE*: 210 S.

There is only one suite there and the door will be held open. *WHAT*: - John Quigley <http://www.jquigley.com/> will be giving a presentation on continuations (notes will be posted afterwards). - Soliciting Lightning Talk topics for next meeting (5/16). Grant Rettke <http://www.wisdomandwonder.com/> has already signed up for "A Simple Object System Using Macros". 2-3 more would be nice. - Some (short) planning for future meetings, Intro to Lisp workshop, etc - Ideas for a project we could hack together *AFTER*: Food and drinks. Possibly at Elephant & Castle Pub<http://www.elephantcastle.com/content/locations/chicago_adams_st> . We had 7 people last month, let's try for more! If you'd like to hear about future meetings, please subscribe to the chicago-lisp mailing list <http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/chicago-lisp> or send me <http://www.pchristensen.com/blog/contact-me/> your email address and I'll add you to the invite list at Coordinatr.com <http://coordinatr.com/>.

Not in the least ... I'm going to be somewhat winging it this go-around, due to an unexpectedly busy schedule. I've since scrapped the idea of re-doing my continuations talk though, as I'm looking for something new. Hopefully this is okay with folks. Instead, I'm going to be talking about Alan Kay's Fundamentals of New Computing initiative, specifically Piumarta's Late-bound/Combined Object-Lambda Architecture. It's not necessarily Lisp-specific, but I'm certain people will find it of interest. This will be a multi-part talk that I'll spread over several meetings if there's sufficient interest for me to delve deeper. - John Quigley
Is this what Kay is working on at the Viewpoint Research Institute right now? If so, I'll be there for all of your talks because that project is one of the coolest things I've heard about in a long time. I'll update coordinatr too. -Peter On Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 5:42 PM, John Quigley <jquigley@jquigley.com> wrote:

You got it, that's the one! Hopefully I'll do it justice, this first talk may be a bit 'touch and go' =)
I'll update coordinatr too.
Awesome, thanks. - John Quigley
I'd love to attend this meet-up. Is there a specific system I need to RSVP to? --Brendan On Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 4:44 PM, John Quigley <jquigley@jquigley.com> wrote:
