[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

[eurolisp] Lisp work based in Cambridge, UK
by Nick Levine 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Ravenbrook has a couple of Lisp-based consulting opportunities, and is looking for a number of strong Lispers for medium to long term projects. One project is for maybe two or three years, full-time, paying about 6-7K GBP per month net of our cut. The other is less clear-cut at present, a few months to start with, maybe more downstream, and may be more lucrative. Team work, with Ravenbrook's usual strong emphasis on requirements focus and evolutionary delivery. We're in Cambridge UK, and will only consider people prepared to spend a significant percentage of their working time in our office (at least, say, one day per week, or one week per month). There's a small amount of travel on both projects. - nick www.ravenbrook.com +44 (0)1223 519 215

[eurolisp] [ANN] Danish lisp meeting
by Peter Mechlenborg 06 Nov '05

06 Nov '05

Hi The third Danish lisp meeting will be held the 20 November 2005, at 15.00. The meeting will be held in Copenhagen, more precisely: H.C. Ørstedsvej 70, 1. sal i kontorfællesskabet "1. cube", 1879 Frederiksberg C. Klaus Harbo will give a presentation of cl-muproc, which hopefully will give inspiration to an interesting discussion. See below for an abstract of the presentation. If you are interested in joining our user group, all you have to do is to subscribe to our mailing list. Instructions on how to do this can be found at: http://wiki.alu.org/Denmark. Have fun, -- Peter Mechlenborg ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Presentation: cl-muproc -- Erlang-inspired multi-processing in Common LISP Presenter: Klaus Harbo <klaus AT mu.dk>, Mu Aps Date: 20 November 2005, at 15.00. Location: København. More precisely: H.C. Ørstedsvej 70, 1. sal i kontorfællesskabet "1. cube", 1879 Frederiksberg C. The Erlang programming language offers powerful abstractions for creating parallel and distributed systems based on a shared-nothing, message-passing paradigm of multi-processing. Klaus will present cl-muproc, a Common LISP multi-processing framework developed at Mu Aps offering a set of abstractions similar to those of Erlang, including - process starting & stopping - process linking & monitoring - message sending & receiving - message matching - message scheduling & process interrupts as well as the Erlang behaviors `generic server' and `supervisor'. The presentation will cover the core ideas in cl-muproc, an overview of the functionality of the framework, and discussion of some of the issues arising when implementing (some of) Erlang's ideas as an embedded language in Common LISP. If possible, the examples will be shown interactively in a live Common LISP environment. The duration of the presentation is expected to be about 45-60 minutes.

[eurolisp] [ANN] ContextL 0.1
by Pascal Costanza 11 Sep '05

11 Sep '05

Hi everyone, I have just released ContextL 0.1 at http://common-lisp.net/project/ closer/contextl.html Major changes: - There were unnecesarry &allow-other-keys declarations in some places which didn't buy anything but removed some useful runtime checks. (In the ContextL presentation in Munich, I was able to say :layered-accessors instead of :layered-accessor, and this was indeed caused by unnecessary &allow-other-keys declarations.) - The naming convention for methods on layered functions has been removed. Instead, one can now say define-layered-method, which is in fact now the preferred way to define layered methods. (Thanks to Bjoern Lindberg and Thomas F. Burdick for insisting!) - It's now possible to say with-inactive-layers. This was one of the most requested features at this young age of ContextL. Thanks to Thomas F. Burdick, Peter Herth, Boern Lindberg and Jim Newton for helping me out with finding a good name for that construct. ;) Cheers, Pascal -- OOPSLA'05 tutorial on generic functions & the CLOS Metaobject Protocol ++++ see http://p-cos.net/oopsla05-tutorial.html for more details ++++ Pascal Costanza, mailto:pc@p-cos.net, http://p-cos.net Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Programming Technology Lab Pleinlaan 2, B-1050 Brussel, Belgium
