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
