Guys,
I would like to share my thoughts about the upcoming meetings. (Although I
organize most of the meetings, I do it for all of us, not just for me. So
don't be afraid to propose new things. I'm open-minded. Don't be shy ;-)
First, I propose to hold our next meeting Wednesday, August 29th. We could
simply meet in a nice pub and a have a good time. I will let you propose
cool places and reach consensus. (I will be in vacation for the next 3
weeks, so don't expect me to participate in these discussions. Your choice
will be mine.)
For our September meeting (date to be detemined), I would like to try
something different. Instead of having someone prepare a single formal
presentation, I think it would be great if several people could just give a
short demo (15 mins) of things they are working on. A DemoCamp like event.
Let's call it a SchemeCamp. What do you think? Is it a good idea? Something
worth considering?
Finally, our October meeting will take place during/around the OOPSLA
conference. Pascal Constanza, a well Lisp and organizer of the Dynamic
Languages Symposium, accepted tol give a talk. And there will be OOPSLA
itself, with talks from John McCarthy and Guy Steele/Richard Gabriel.
What do you think?
Dominique
