European Lisp Symposium 2012, Zadar, Croatia, April 30th - May 1st, 2012
http://european-lisp-symposium.org
The purpose of the European Lisp Symposium is to provide a forum for
the discussion and dissemination of all aspects of design,
implementation and application of any of the Lisp and Lisp-inspired
dialects, including Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp, AutoLisp, ISLISP,
Dylan, Clojure, ACL2, ECMAScript, Racket, SKILL, and so on. We
encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate.
The main theme of the 2012 European Lisp Conference is
"Interoperabilty: Systems, Libraries, Workflows". Lisp based and
functional-languages based systems have grown a variety of solutions
to become more and more integrated with the wider world of Information
and Communication Technologies in current use. There are several
dimensions to the scope of the solutions proposed, ranging from
"embedding" of interpreters in C-based systems, to the development of
abstractions levels that facilitate the expression of complex context
dependent tasks, to the construction of exchange formats handling
libraries, to the construction of theorem-provers for the "Semantic
Web". The European Lisp Symposium 2012 solicits the submission of
papers with this specific theme in mind, alongside the more
traditional tracks which have appeared in the past editions.
We invite submissions in the following forms:
Papers: Technical papers of up to 15 pages that describe original
results or explain known ideas in new and elegant ways.
Demonstrations: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for demonstrations of
tools, libraries, and applications.
Tutorials: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for in-depth presentations about
topics of special interest for at least 90 minutes and up to 180
minutes.
Lightning talks: Abstracts of up to one page for talks to last for no
more than 5 minutes.
All submissions should be formatted following the ACM SIGS guidelines
and include ACM classification categories and terms. For more
information on the submission guidelines and the ACM keywords, see:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates and
http://www.acm.org/about/class/1998.
Important dates:
Jan 31st 2012: submission deadline
Feb 21st 2012: acceptance results
April 30th, 2012 Conference opens

Hi everyone,
ECLM comment:
[As I am attending to the ECLM 2011 and hope to meet some of the lispers
who might start with us, I am sending it through this mailing list!
Sorry for double postings.]
happy to announce that another IT startup launched, using for the
backend Allegro Common Lisp, Prolog and AllegroGraph. On the front end
side we are using web technologies.
We are looking for a talented lisper who will contribute significantly
to our goal: to build the first highly flexible production system for
the agriculture market.
I have been involved myself several times in a startup environment. I
have never met such a startup with each role filed with a highly
qualified individual.
Beside hard work, it's really fun working here, and we are looking for
someone taking this challenge with us.
You will find below a more conservative job description. If it matches
your profile please contact us. If it doesn't match your profile but
you think that you can make a valuable contribution, please contact us
as well!
So far for today!

Agri-Esprit is a technology start-up company located in Strasbourg,
France, which develops a unique, highly flexible software supported
management system for agriculture world-wide. The system will
integrate all information relevant to farm management and provide
proactive support spanning strategic planning to day-to-day
operations. It will enable farm management and farm workers to make
better decisions and continuously improve their operations in order to
maximize productivity in a systematic manner while integrating
consumer requirements and environmental and social impact
considerations.
We are looking for Creative IT-Developers who are interested in
working with an international, multicultural team in an
entrepreneurial environment. Work experience is helpful but not a
requirement.
Requirements:
- Strong team player
- Willingness to learn new technologies
- Willingness to work according to an agile development methodology,
inclusive of pair programming
- Degree in Informatics or similar
- Proficient in English; French a definite advantage, German helpful.
In-depth knowledge in one or more of the following fields is highly
appreciated (not ranked by importance):
- Common Lisp
- Functional programming
- GIS systems and/or spatial databases, ideally web based GIS
(Open-Geospatial, etc.)
- Graph databases
- IT security
- JavaScript
- Prolog
- User interface design
What we offer
- A full-time position according French legislation with a competitive
salary
- Performance based bonus
- Opportunities for professional development in an entrepreneurial
environment

Hi everybody,
We have 91 registrations for the European Common Lisp Meeting now. See
http://eclm.eurolisp.org/ for a list of them.
If you haven't registered yet, please note that the registration deadline
is tomorrow. You can register at http://weitz.de/eclm2011/ .

Hi everybody,
We've had a lot of additional registrations for the European Common
Lisp Meeting 2011 since we sent our email a week ago and if everybody
who has registered by now actually participates, we'll not end up with
a loss or only with a very small one. Still, we wouldn't mind if a
few more people would come and therefore we decided to extend the
registration period a bit. You can now register until October 1
before the registration process is really closed for good.
See <http://weitz.de/eclm2011/> for all the details.
Also, there were a couple of people who spontaneously offered to send
donations after we announced our potential loss. That was very kind
and we're grateful for these offers - thanks a lot! Luckily, it looks
like we won't need the money.
Looking forward to seeing you all in Amsterdam,
Arthur & Edi.
Hi everybody,
We'd like to remind everybody that it is still possible to register
for the European Common Lisp Meeting 2011 in Amsterdam. We're sending
this reminder because the number of registrations so far has been
pretty low. In fact, it is far away from what we expected and used as
the basis for our calculations. With 47 participants (as of September
7) we'll make a loss of almost 2,000 Euros and we'd need roughly 25
more registrations to not end up in the red.
Maybe this email can convince at least some of those who haven't
registered yet to change their minds. Or maybe you know someone you
think you should forward this to. (Also, feel free to blog about it
or use other means to disseminate this message.)
More details about the ECLM can be found here:
http://weitz.de/eclm2011/
We're looking forward to meeting all of you in October and we're still
hoping to see at least as many fellow Lispers as in the last years.
Arthur & Edi.
The company which is hosting my server weitz.de wants to move it to a
different city in the night from Wednesday to Thursday. It should be
up and running again in two days, but you never know...
Just in case, the registration app itself can be reached at
http://eclm.eurolisp.org/
and it's on a different machine, so it won't be affected by this relocation.

Hi everybody,
Registration for the European Common Lisp Meeting 2011 is now finally
open. Please go to the ECLM website at
http://weitz.de/eclm2011/
and follow the instructions there if you want to register. We're
hoping to see at least as many participants as in the last years in
order not to go bankrupt... :)
Also, should you encounter any technical problems (we hope not),
please don't hesitate to contact us.
And of course feel free to blog about this or advertise it on other
mailing lists.
Thanks,
Arthur & Edi.

Hi everybody,
Many of you will have seen it on Planet Lisp already, but in case you
missed it: We're going to have another ECLM this year - in Amsterdam
in October. More details (not many yet) at
<http://weitz.de/eclm2011/>.
Hoping to see you there,
