[toronto-lisp] I'm moving away.. transfer of responsibilities
by Vish Singh 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

Hello, I'm moving to California to start a new job soon. I'll be at the video games company I talked about in a post to this mailing list, way back in April 2009 (two years ago!): http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/toronto-lisp/2009-April/000238.html I'm really looking forward to working at this company as it's the first time I'll be able to work with Lisp professionally. I'll be sure to keep you guys posted on any interesting Lisp stuff that the company makes public; e.g. through Game Developers Conference presentations or whitepapers. Here's one such presentation (40MB download): http://www.gameenginebook.com/gdc09-statescripting-uncharted2.pdf Unfortunately this means tomorrow's meeting will be the last I'll be able to attend for a long time. Thanks for all the great discussions over the years. I've had a great time and learned a lot of cool Lisp stuff. I'm sad to be leaving, and I'll try to keep in touch as best I can. It'd be cool if one or more people would be interested in taking over various functions for the group. 1. taking meeting minutes It's optional, but it can be very helpful for people who miss a meeting or are living away and cannot attend meetings at all. Just write it up and mail it to the list after the meeting.. anyone can do this. 2. taking care of lisptoronto.org Contact me if you're interested and I'll give you access to the site and tell you how I usually update it. It's on Google Sites, and the domain name is owned by Telman Yusupov. I always meant to get this hosted on some kind of Lisp webserver, but never got around to setting it up. It would be a fun project. 3. taking care of github.com/vishsingh/lisp-toronto repo Of course, anyone can just fork this repo and decide to be the new maintainer. Just update the link on lisptoronto.org to point to the new forked repo. This repo is useful to hold source code and other files related to meetings. See you tomorrow! All the best, Vish
