[eurolisp] Student internship
by Thomas F. Burdick 22 Jul '06

22 Jul '06

If you know anybody who would be interested in this, please pass it along. thanks! The Cadence Design Systems VCAD group in Munich, Germany, is looking for a University student intern for a period of two to six months. You would be working on one of the following projects, depending on our needs and your strengths: * Project planning and scheduling software. This will be used to track our utilization of our developers, and to aid in planning for on-going and future projects. * Package configuration management software. We deliver to our customers custom configurations built out of a large number of pieces of software and other intellectual property. We are rewriting the system we use to specify, track, and build these deliveries. * Common Lisp bindings to a large C++ library. We are working on a system to automatically generate the low-level bindings, as well as designing a higher-level interface meant for direct use by application programmers. The implementation language for all of the above will most likely be Common Lisp, although lesser languages such as Java, Perl, and Tcl may play a role as well. We are looking for someone who either has experience programming in a Lisp language, or is interested in learning Lisp in a production environment, and is comfortable in several mutually unrelated programming languages (eg, C, Smalltalk, and PostScript; or Java, Prolog, and SPARC assembly language). Our environment is Unix-based (Solaris and Linux), so you should have a basic familiarity with Unix. Other things that would be nice, but are not required: some theoretical familiarity with relational databases (eg, you took a database class or read the textbook from one); Windows programming experience; Oracle experience; experience with C++, SQL, and Prolog. Virtual CAD (VCAD) is a group within Cadence providing EDA (Electronic Design Automation) related services. The internship is with the software development group within VCAD. Cadence's software products are scripted with the SKILL language, a Lisp language with two dialects: one Franz Lisp-like dialect, and one Scheme-like dialect. The VCAD software group also uses Common Lisp where appropriate. If you are interested, please contact Thomas F. Burdick (tfb(a)cadence.com), and Jim Newton (jimka(a)cadence.com) For more information about VCAD, see: http://www.cadence-europe.com/solutions/vpage.cfm?pID=1 http://www.cadence-europe.com/eEuronews/mar_05/features.html

[eurolisp] organization of 22C3 socializing
by Clemens Fruhwirth 29 Dec '05

29 Dec '05

Well fine! There were plenty of replies to my socializing call :). So, I put up a wiki page for a small amount of organization. Please add yourself to http://wiki.alu.org/22C3 when you are interesting in having a drink and a chat about Lisp on one evening during the conference. Please check this page after 2 weeks to see, which date was chosen. You can also reach this page by going to wiki.alu.org -> Events -> 22C3 in case you don't remember the exact spelling :) -- Fruhwirth Clemens - http://clemens.endorphin.org for robots: sp4mtrap(a)endorphin.org

[eurolisp] Socializing at 22C3 27-30.12 Berlin?
by Clemens Fruhwirth 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

I'm going to attend the 22C3 in Berlin 27.12-30.12. https://events.ccc.de/congress/2005/wiki/22C3_Public_Wiki It's not related to Lisp in any way but as both, Lisp and their definition of "Hacker", include "significant affinity to efficiency", I hoped that the intersection of Lisp coders and 22C3 attendees would be non-nil.

[eurolisp] FW: Beers in winter

Hello again, This is what Carl replied. As December 30th is uncertain for me, we have picked December 25th, knowing it is the day the most important Xmas day in Holland.

I've been to the past four congresses and will be in attendance at this year's congress as well. I never found any other Lisp people there, but never looked very hard :-)

Is this the only day that Carl is in/near Amsterdam? No, but december 24 and 25 presented even bigger problems. Carl will make a tour but he will leave from Schiphol. I have cc'ed Carl so we may know ore about his schedule. Regards, Ernst

[eurolisp] Opinions needed...
by Pascal Costanza 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

Hi everyone, The deadline for workshop proposals for next year's ECOOP is approaching soon. I am considering organizing another European Lisp and Scheme workshop at ECOOP'06. However, the "competition" is very strong next year. On the one hand, there will probably be a European Common Lisp meeting again around April, and on the other hand it seems that the International Lisp Conference '06 will also be in Europe around September/October. An ECOOP workshop would be in the first week of July. So I wonder: Is the European Lisp community strong and interested enough in three big events in one year, or would it be better to stay focused on fewer events to make them more successful? More concretely, would it be a better idea to skip an ECOOP workshop next year, but only do it again in 2007 when the ILC will probably be in the US again? Any opinion, no matter how bold or moderate, is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Pascal -- Pascal Costanza, mailto:pc@p-cos.net, http://p-cos.net Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Programming Technology Lab Pleinlaan 2, B-1050 Brussel, Belgium
