Good morning, everyone!
Seven seems to be a lucky number for some, and this is the seventh Online Lisp Meeting. Luckily, more time has solved the problem of the previous online meeting - we will have a chance to listen to Hayley Patton's presentation about Techniques and Utilities for Farming Objects On The Net.
This presentation is about programming concurrent, distributed systems in Common Lisp, and some of the ideas that have sprung up while developing the Netfarm distributed object system. We will demonstrate how we try to abstract away wire protocol and format differences, how we can use a recommender system to filter unwanted content for an end user in the Netfarm system; and some libraries we have worked on, with the aim to produce performant and robust concurrent Lisp programs.
As before, the talk will be pre-recorded and played back on Twitch, with the ability to comment on the Twitch chat during playback. The videos will then make it onto YouTube. And, this time, I plan on organizing a small virtual hangout *right after* the talk in order to take the Australian timezones into better account.
Date/time/location:
* Date: 26st August 2020 * Time: 13:00 CEST - https://time.is/en/CEST * Talk: https://www.twitch.tv/TwitchPlaysCommonLisp * Hangout: https://chat.heisig.xyz/TwitchPlaysCommonLisp @ 14:30
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
More videos welcome - please record and send me anything that you find interesting and is in any way related to Lisp.
BR and see you! Michał "phoe" Herda
