[eurolisp] Lisp sub-conference at FrOSCon (Germany)
by Karl Heinrichmeyer 31 May '12

31 May '12

Hello Common Lispers, It is now official that quasiconf, a Lisp sub-conference on this year's FrOSCon, is going to happen. Quasiconf is open for all Lisp dialects and everyone interested in or curious about the language. So let us help represent the biggest (and probably greatest ;) ) of all Lisp dialects and have fun discussing with and learning from other Lispers. The Call for Papers is running, so feel free to submit a proposal if you have an interesting project or anything else you want to share. For more information look at the links below. http://quasiconf.twoticketsplease.de/ http://www.froscon.de/en/home/ http://www.froscon.de/startseite/ I hope to see you at quasiconf! Best regards, Karl Heinrichmeyer

Apologies for the multiple postings. PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED 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 "Interoperability: 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: February 15th 2012: submission deadline (extended deadline) March 7th 2012: acceptance results April 30th 2012: Conference opens Program Commitee.

[eurolisp] ECLM 2011 deadline extension
by Edi Weitz 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

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.

[eurolisp] ECLM 2011 - we need you!
by Edi Weitz 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

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.
