I did not make too many notes this time - sorry - but here are a few of the items discussed:
- Language Agnostic blog, by Leo: http://langnostic.blogspot.com/ - discussion of post "Writing C in Lisp" - discussion of Hunchentoot web servers with nginx as an intermediary for serving static content
- discussion of the now-famous RIM rant: http://blog.jamiemurai.com/2011/02/you-win-rim/ - also, a follow-up post: http://blog.jamiemurai.com/2011/02/rim-rant-follow-up/
- presentation about using Scheme on the iPhone: http://www.slideshare.net/jlongster/the-scheme-language-using-it-on-the-ipho... - discussion about whether Apple could detect from your compiled binary if you were sending S-expressions over the network to be evaluated by an app (which would violate their developer agreement) - worth noting that, while the above is disallowed by Apple, you could do it easily within a web-app using Javascript

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:
- 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 :-).
