Daniel,
Here is a first pass on a summary - feel free to suggest changes.
"Lisp and Symbolic Programming From the Beginning"
This session will introduce the basic ideas that make Lisp a uniquely powerful programming language, illustrated with examples from biomedical applications, including molecular biology, drug interactions and cancer treatment. If time allows, we will introduce functional programming, CLOS, the Meta-Object Protocol and macros. If there is interest but insufficient time, a second session is possible.
The session is for both experienced Lispers and those new to Lisp.
Projector with 1024x768 is just fine. I will bring my own laptop.
I'm happy to talk to anyone who comes and listens.

Works for me. I'll put it on my calendar. Please confirm the time also, and in case I put together a handout, a reasonable guess at the number of people attending.

The space has been reserved for your presentation:
Thursday, June 14, 2007 Capitol Hill branch of libraryhttp://www.spl.org/default.asp?pageID=branch_open_directions&branchID=6
The reservation is for 6 PM until 7:45 (closes at 8 sharp), so I recommend announcing the starting time for 6:15 so there's time to set-up projector and arrange chairs.
Again, I'll provide a projector if you need one (1024x768 native but takes much higher input and scales cleanly).
There is also a large whiteboard in the room.
(Note that the library requires that it be free and open to the public of all ages.)
Feel free to update the wiki page, or I can do it if you send a summary. http://wiki.alu.org/LispSea
Thank you!
