[eclm] Invoices
by Arthur Lemmens 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

To everybody who asked for an invoice (or a modification of their invoice): I will take care of this, but I'll be traveling without much internet access for the next couple of weeks. So it may take a while before I get around to this. If you haven't received anything by the end of November, please send me a reminder. Arthur

[eclm] Missing electronics
by Zach Beane 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

I brought a small plastic bag of miscellaneous electronics to the meeting, and used the VGA adapter from it to connect to the projector for my talk. However, I managed to misplace the rest. It had a number of electrical adapters, an USB memory stick, a DVI adapter, and a bluetooth mouse in it, all with "XACH" written somewhere on them. Did anyone happen to see it? Thanks, Zach

by Art Obrezan 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

Hello - I arrive to Amsterdam on Oct, 21th (Friday) in the afternoon and will have a lot of free time before the official start of ECLM. If anyone will be there already at the same time and will also have free time, please drop me a line. Perhaps we can arrange a pre-ECLM event :-) Best, Art

It worked great, and there's quite an active couchsurfing community in Amsterdam. Already managed to find something, thanks to Stelian Ionescu. Butthanks for the suggestion.

[eclm] Looking for a place to sleep for saturday and sunday night
by Paweł Lasek 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

Hi. I'm looking for a cheap place to sleep (bare minimum needed) and I wonder if there's possibility of "couch surfing" in Amsterdam with someone local. I don't know yet whether I'll be there for 100%, currently waiting for a reply from Ralf, who generously decided to sponsor me. Unfortunately lack of finances prohibits getting a hotel, and I still haven't found a hostel with a free place for saturday night. -- Paweł Lasek pawel.lasek(a)gmail.com pawel.lasek.08(a)aberdeen.ac.uk p_l on freenode irc.

[eclm] Fwd: ECLM 2010
by Arthur Lemmens 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

One more kind offer... ------- Forwarded message ------- From: "Ralf Mueller" <ralf.mueller(a)mac.com> To: "alemmens(a)xs4all.nl" <alemmens(a)xs4all.nl> Cc: "edi(a)weitz.de" <edi(a)weitz.de> Subject: ECLM 2010 Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2011 13:39:30 +0200 Hi Arthur, Edi, I'm afraid to tell that i can't make it for the ECLM 2010 meeting in Amsterdam. I was hit by a flue this morning and most likely will spend the weekend sick in bed. I'd like to donate the money to the Lisp community. If you know of some student that can't make it to ECLM 2010 for monetary reasons please let me know. I'd volunteer to buy him/her a train ticket to Amsterdam (from anywhere in Europe) and attend the meetings in lieu of myself. Wish you all a great ECLM conference and a good time in Amsterdam. Cheers, Ralf

I tweet at @xach and will probably tweet about my ECLM-related travel and other stuff with the #eclm tag (which seems to be presently unused). Hope it helps make connections between travelers! Zach

[eclm] videotaping the talks
by Vsevolod Dyomkin 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

Hi, With the approval of Edi and Arthur I'm going to record the conference talks and put them on-line after the event. If anyone of the speakers objects to recording his talk, please inform me or the organizers. This is just a volunteering effort, so any help will be appreciated. Actually I'm going to use quite a dated equipment for recording -- Sony Digital8 video-camera. It will give decent picture quality (which would be enough, I think). But if anyone wants to bring a camera, producing better quality picture -- great. The slides will be rendered separately. Sound recording quality should be good, if the hall's audio system allows for plugging into it. Afterwards I plan to put videos on blip.tv. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please reply here or contact me directly. PS. There's also an event page on http://lanyrd.com/2011/eclm2011/, to which the videos will eventually be linked. Best regards, Vsevolod Domkin
