[eurolisp] eclm - hamburg -accomodation question
by eurolisp＠mhoffmann.dds.nl 22 Jun '07

22 Jun '07

Hi ECLM participants, At the end of the month the ECLM will take place in Hamburg. I am looking for not so expensive accomodation. I had hoped to book a room at instantsleep.de for about euro 25, but the rooms are already gone. Does anybody have information about cheap hotels, private rooms etc. which are recomended? I am also thinking of taking a tent with me, but I am not sure yet. yours, Marc eurolisp(a)mhoffmann.dds.nl

[eurolisp] ILC 2007 in Cambridge
by Christian Ruediger Bahls 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

while finishing the last pages of the second draft of my diploma thesis i thought: well, there are less then 2 month' left till the ILC in Cambridge, so perhaps now would be the time to arrange everything, book a flight, arrange for accomodation, pay the fees ... only there is a little problem: i have absolutely no spare money to spend. yes. i know i should get myself a decent job. i will do that right after i finish my diploma thesis (which is about support vector classification and schould be ready by the end of next week). still that doesn't bring me any closer to visiting the ILC (which isn't held in Europe that often) so i want to make a proposition: I solve your problem in return for you solving mine. .. as an example i would offer to implement: Sequentiell Minimal Optimization for SVM(by Platt) [with the improved Heuristics by Keerthi et.al.], or the Nearest Point Algorithm(proposed by Keerthi) in a language of your choice(Common Lisp, Ocaml, C, C++, ..). perhaps you have a farm and need a hand for two weeks i could drive your tractor and clean the stables[1] or maybe you are a philantrophic and would like to contribute an Interior Point algorithm for Linear or Quadratic Programming to the Common Lisp community (GPL, LLGPL, BSD, ..) .. i would implement that for you. if any of the above matches you, please do not hesitate to contact me. for anybody interested enough: i will set up a page at http://sky.math.uni-rostock.de/christian_wants_to_be_at_the_ILC/ to keep you updated thank you very much for taking the time to read this post yours christian bahls maths student university of rostock rostock, germany [1] it might be that you think this was a joke, while it wasn't -- "Feel free" - 5 GB Mailbox, 50 FreeSMS/Monat ...

[eurolisp] Let's Lisp again!
by Pascal Costanza 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

There are several news about this year's International Lisp Conference to be held in Cambridge, UK in the first week of April. + The Register has published a press release about the conference at http://www.regdeveloper.co.uk/ 2007/02/03/2007_international_lisp_conference/. Now we're trying to use this to raise the profile of Lisp in general and ILC 2007 in particular by getting the article "dugg", so that lots of other people will notice it. Please, take a minute to help us by visiting the article and following the "Digg this" link. Or you can go straight to http://digg.com/programming/Let_s_Lisp_again (If you haven't previously joined digg, it's free and will take you another minute.) + There is a conference poster available for download at http:// www.international-lisp-conference.org/2007/images/poster.jpg Please print it off and distribute it everywhere. + Finally, you can show off your Lisp programming skills by providing implementations for the conference's programming contest. See http:// www.international-lisp-conference.org/2007/contest for more details.
