Unfortunately, I'm well under the weather and won't be attending tonight. Dave Cooper is interested in skyping in again. If someone could bring a laptop with a full size screen, Dave could do a skype screen-share and demo his GDL product - which is a very interesting bundled product consisting of Allegro plus a bunch of in-house and 3rd party libraries that creates custom CAD-like engineering environments for various industries (for example, the automotive industry). Dave's email is: david.cooper@genworks.com . Let him know if this can be accommodated. I'm not sure that I heard this factoid mentioned - Dave is a board member of the ALU. We should be picking his brains on all issues lisp. He also suggests an interesting list of potential topics: 1. Give a GDL presentation and demo 2. Talk about software licensing: commercial, open-source, dual. 3. ILC, ECLM, other larger Lisp meetings (who would attend and why) 4. Common Lisp Foundation, ALU, and funding issues. 5. Library initiatives (Quicklisp, LibCL, Lispbox, and similar). Please post a summary of the meeting for those of us too sick to show up :-). pt
