Hi, Registrations for the European Common Lisp Meeting in April have come in at an astonishing speed. Eight days after we announced the meeting, we're at 65 registrations. Our meeting room has a capacity of 75 persons, so there are only 10 seats left at the moment. If you don't want to miss the event, you should probably register now (at http://weitz.de/meeting) because it looks like it will only take a couple of days before the meeting is fully booked. Looking forward to meeting you all in Amsterdam, Edi Weitz & Arthur Lemmens

[Apologies if you get this announcement more than once.] Hi! Arthur Lemmens and I are trying to organize a "European Common Lisp Meeting" and I think we've managed to assemble a quite impressive line-up of speakers. The meeting will be in Amsterdam on April 24, 2005, and here's the list of the fellow Lispers who'll give a talk: - Jans Aasman - Dave Fox - Luke Gorrie - Antonio Menezes Leitao - Christophe Rhodes - Robert Strandh - Espen Vestre All details can be found on this website: <http://weitz.de/meeting> We hope that very many of you will be able to attend this meeting and make it a success. Please, if you consider joining us, use the registration facility that can be found at the website above. We're looking forward to seeing you in Amsterdam in April! Cheers, Edi.

[eurolisp] Looking for potential PhD students
by Pascal Costanza 01 Feb '05

Hi everyone, I have recently started to work at the Programming Technology Lab at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel - see http://prog.vub.ac.be/ - as some of you probably already know. ;) If you have recently finished your master's or diploma thesis, or will do so in the near future, and are looking for a Lisp-friendly environment to start working on a PhD, please feel free to contact me via email. There is a good chance that you can get a grant for working here. We are mostly interested in programming language design, but also touch other subjects that are related (applications, software engineering, etc.). Among other things, we are interested in various kinds of metaprogramming, reflection, object models, metaobject protocols, software evolution, aspect-oriented programming, etc. I am especially interested in context-oriented programming, i.e. finding good abstractions for making software behave differently according to the context in which it is used. Good knowledge of one or more Lisp dialects is a big plus, preferably Common Lisp, ISLISP or Scheme. Knowledge of other dynamic languages, like Smalltalk, Self, Prolog and other examples of those language families is also a plus. When you contact me, please tell me a little bit about yourself (max. 4 pages): What you have worked on for your master degree, what your interests are, what you would like to work on in the future, and so on. Please add a paragraph or two about some wild ideas that you have about how programming should evolve in the future, or what computer science's biggest mistakes in the past have been. Cheers, Pascal -- If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulder of giants. - Isaac Newton
