Dear Lispers,
I'm pleased to announce, for the first time, Lisp Devroom @ FOSDEM,
the biggest FLOSS event in Europe, that will be held in Brussels on
January 31st to February 2nd, 2015.
This is a call to propose your talks for FOSDEM.
The topic of the devroom includes all Lisp-inspired dialects,
like Common Lisp, Scheme, Clojure, Emacs Lisp, newLISP, Racket,
GCC-Melt, LFE, Shen & more. Every talk is welcome: from real-world
examples, research projects, unusual ideas to small pet hacks.
FOSDEM is a hacker conference and we would be happy to see more
practical proposals, crazy ideas and open source projects
demonstrations than dry scientific papers (we will leave them for ILC
and ELS :-P).
Important dates
---------------
* Submission deadlines: 2014-12-14
* Acceptance notifications: 2014-12-28
* Lisp Devroom conference: 2015-01-31 (Saturday)
Submitting proposals
--------------------
Please use https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM15 to submit your

Dear list,
What do you see in the sources, does Gambit rebuild its file descriptors
list on *each* select/poll() call?
If you have the references to where they're added and wiped/deleated
respectively would be great,
Thanks. :)

Scope
~~~~~
ICFP 2015 seeks original papers on the art and science of functional
programming. Submissions are invited on all topics from principles to
practice, from foundations to features, and from abstraction to
application. The scope includes all languages that encourage
functional programming, including both purely applicative and
imperative languages, as well as languages with objects, concurrency,
or parallelism. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Language Design: concurrency, parallelism, and distribution; modules;
components and composition; metaprogramming; type systems;
interoperability; domain-specific languages; and relations to
imperative, object-oriented, or logic programming.
* Implementation: abstract machines; virtual machines; interpretation;
compilation; compile-time and run-time optimization; garbage
collection and memory management; multi-threading; exploiting
parallel hardware; interfaces to foreign functions, services,
components, or low-level machine resources.
* Software-Development Techniques: algorithms and data structures;
design patterns; specification; verification; validation; proof
assistants; debugging; testing; tracing; profiling.
* Foundations: formal semantics; lambda calculus; rewriting; type
theory; monads; continuations; control; state; effects; program
verification; dependent types.
* Analysis and Transformation: control-flow; data-flow; abstract
interpretation; partial evaluation; program calculation.
* Applications: symbolic computing; formal-methods tools; artificial
intelligence; systems programming; distributed-systems and web
programming; hardware design; databases; XML processing;
scientific and numerical computing; graphical user interfaces;
multimedia and 3D graphics programming; scripting; system
administration; security.
* Education: teaching introductory programming; parallel programming;
mathematical proof; algebra.
* Functional Pearls: elegant, instructive, and fun essays on
functional programming.
* Experience Reports: short papers that provide evidence that
functional programming really works or describe obstacles that have
kept it from working.
If you are concerned about the appropriateness of some topic, do not
hesitate to contact the program chair.
Abbreviated instructions for authors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* By Friday, 27 February 2015, 23:59 UTC-11 (anywhere in the world),
submit a full paper of at most 12 pages (6 pages for an Experience
Report) in standard ACM conference format, including bibliography,
figures, and appendices.
The deadlines will be strictly enforced and papers exceeding the page
limits will be summarily rejected.
* Authors have the option to attach supplementary material to a submission,
on the understanding that reviewers may choose not to look at it.
* Each submission must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy, as
explained on the web at
http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication
* Authors of resubmitted (but previously rejected) papers have the
option to attach an annotated copy of the reviews of their previous
submission(s), explaining how they have addressed these previous
reviews in the present submission. If a reviewer identifies
him/herself as a reviewer of this previous submission and wishes to
see how his/her comments have been addressed, the program chair will
communicate to this reviewer the annotated copy of his/her previous
review. Otherwise, no reviewer will read the annotated copies of
the previous reviews.
Overall, a submission will be evaluated according to its relevance,
correctness, significance, originality, and clarity. It should
explain its contributions in both general and technical terms, clearly
identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is
significant, and comparing it with previous work. The technical
content should be accessible to a broad audience. Functional Pearls
and Experience Reports are separate categories of papers that need not
report original research results and must be marked as such at the
time of submission. Detailed guidelines on both categories are on the
conference web site.
Proceedings will be published by ACM Press. Authors of accepted
submissions will have a choice of one of three ways to manage their
publication rights. These choices are described at
http://authors.acm.org/main.html
Presentations will be videotaped and released online if the presenter
consents. The proceedings will be freely available for download from
the ACM Digital Library from one week before the start of the
conference until two weeks after the conference.
Formatting: Submissions must be in PDF format printable in black and
white on US Letter sized paper and interpretable by
Ghostscript. Papers must adhere to the standard ACM conference format:
two columns, nine-point font on a ten-point baseline, with columns
20pc (3.33in) wide and 54pc (9in) tall, with a column gutter of 2pc
(0.33in). A suitable document template for LaTeX is available at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm
Submission: Submissions will be accepted on the web using a link
that will be posted at
http://icfpconference.org/icfp2015/
Improved versions of a paper may be submitted at any point before
the submission deadline using the same web interface.
Author response: Authors will have a 72-hour period, starting at 0:00
UTC on Tuesday, 21 April 2015, to read reviews and respond to them.
ACM Author-Izer is a unique service that enables ACM authors to
generate and post links on either their home page or institutional
repository for visitors to download the definitive version of their
articles from the ACM Digital Library at no charge. Downloads through
Author-Izer links are captured in official ACM statistics, improving
the accuracy of usage and impact measurements. Consistently linking
the definitive version of ACM article should reduce user confusion
over article versioning. After your article has been published and
assigned to your ACM Author Profile page, please visit
http://www.acm.org/publications/acm-author-izer-service
to learn how to create your links for free downloads from the ACM DL.
Publication date: The official publication date of accepted papers
is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital
Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day
of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline
for any patent filings related to published work.

I hope I'm not breaking any rules, but this process originally started in
another thread: Macro to use “λ” character as “lambda” in R5RS Scheme?
But after seeing it execute properly in Racket AND Gambit I know the
problem lies not in the code but in the calling mechanism, which is why I
am starting this new thread.
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/GlassGhost/bdf2b28f6c3592f3933a/raw/deri…
This file executes great, with the Racket shebang the file can be ran thus:
./derive.ss
If I uncomment line 3 and delete lines 1-2 to change from Racket to Gambit,
When I execute
./derive.ss
It throws "*** ERROR IN "derive.ss"@8.33 -- Ill-formed expression". However
Gambit works as great as it did earlier with Racket IF I do:
scheme-r5rs -:s ./derive.ss
So, how I can set "standard Scheme mode" just like the command line option
"-:s" from within a Shebang Executed scheme file in Gambit??
Not really gambit specific but it works like this:
#!/usr/local/Gambit-C/bin/scheme-r5rs -:s

I dont use them but I think for memory scheme-r5rs and the like only set
case sensitivity and keyword preferences, it wont make syntax-rules /
syntax-case available to you for that you would still need tell it to load
eg.
scheme-r5rs -:s

It works! but ONLY IF you call the script from the gsi not with
#!/usr/bin/env scheme-r5rs
Does anyone know I can set the command line OPTION s|S "set standard Scheme
mode" from within a scheme file??
