[toronto-lisp] Next Meeting
by Leo Zovic 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

So we're having the next meeting at Wave Accounting, at 235 Carlaw Avenue Toronto, ON M4M 2S1 is that the correct address? If so, TTCers should be able to get there by the 501 Queen Streetcar. Anyone know the neighborhood reasonably well? Are we safe heading over there individually, or should we all meet up somewhere and head out as a group? -Leo

[toronto-lisp] New meeting location
by Me 29 Aug '12

Gentlemen, September is soon upon us, has a new meeting location been selected? Although last months meeting place was visually simulating at times I do not wish to be attacked by killer bees, alcoholic bums or gyrating booties. Paul's suggested location at the accounting firm sounds good! A place where we can get down to business. Any objections or alternative suggestions? As of today there is still time to decide. Regards Mark Rohn

[toronto-lisp] Lisp & Haskell
by Bryce Moore 09 Aug '12

Hello all, Christopher: The Toronto Lisp Users Group's (TLUG) monthly meeting place has been closed down. Lispers: Christopher has been organizing a Haskell / functional programming night once a month at the hacklab. (hacklab.to) Maybe you could both could join forces? I know it's not perfectly ideal, but I think that it would be a good meeting of like minded people. If I'm not mistaken, the TLUG meets on the first Tuesday of every month. Unfortunately, that's the hacklab's open house. Again, if I'm not mistaken, the Haskell group has been meeting on the first Wednesday of every month. Christopher: Would it be possible to hold a Functional Programming Users Group on the first Wednesday of every month, and include the Lispers? Lispers: Would meeting on the first Wednesday of every month at the hacklab be okay? (Yes, I know that Lisp doesn't imply functional programming - but maybe non-functional Lispers could be made welcome?) (And yes, I'm just throwing this out there.) As an aside: I think fans of Dave Cooper's GDL / Genworks might be interested in Chritopher's ImplicitCAD: https://github.com/colah/ImplicitCAD Sorry if this is unwelcome / doesn't work out. I just thought it might be a natural fit. Cheers, -- Bryce Moore

[toronto-lisp] Next meeting Aug. 7

Next meeting is Tuesday August 7. www.lisptoronto.org I drove by Linux Caffee a few weeks ago and the windows were still papered over. Has the situation changed? Would someone suggest (with coordinates) an provisional alternate location? Does anyone have ties with UofT and could get us permission to grab an unused classroom once a month (the way that GTALUG does)? thanks pt

wave accounting held a hackersnest meetup. they are a bit out of the way, but i guess the linux cafe was too. I work at CSI spadina, so I can provide a room there. there are chalkboards and i think some projectors. personally, i rather go to wave accounting. :) i met the guy who started the clojure dojo. i think we'll have a computer and people will swap out every few minutes to let someone else program. it's at thoughtworks, that alone makes it worth going to. ~~ Paul Joseph Iannazzo.
