Hello!
I have the pleasure of announcing the Ath Online Lisp Meeting (counting in hexadecimal, obviously).
We will have Jan Moringen speaking about Eclector, the extensible and portable Common Lisp reader.
The Common Lisp reader is a collection of functions and variables for turning sequences of characters into s-expressions, which are described in Chapter 2 of the specification. While some aspects of the behavior of the reader can be customized, many parts are internal to each Common Lisp implementation and thus inaccessible to portable programs. Eclector is a portable reader implementation which is set apart by 1) providing very detailed error reporting (for humans and programs) 2) allowing recovery from (almost) all syntax errors 3) allowing customization of far more aspects than other readers 4) providing a mechanism for constructing parse results with source information. This presentation introduces the Eclector project and explains the customization mechanisms built into its architecture. Everything is considered from the perspective of a user of the Elector reader, so its implementation is not discussed. The features mentioned above are further illustrated in several (hopefully) interesting and useful demonstrations.
A short Jitsi talk with everyone will happen just after the meeting.

Massive thanks to Marco Heisig for providing the Jitsi instance where we can hang out after the talk.
A mailing list has been created for the purpose of organizing and promoting the online talks. Further announcements will be posted there. See https://mailman.common-lisp.net/listinfo/online-lisp-meets
If you'd like to talk about anything that is Lisp-related, please let me know, and I'll gladly host your video for our small, but very enjoyable, audience. And then upload it to YouTube for broader posterity.
BR and see you, Michał "phoe" Herda
