Hello all. There will be a meeting of the MSLUG this *saturday*
January 3 at 4:30PM, at the usual place (room 3195 of Pavillon André-
Aisenstadt at the Université de Montréal). François-René Rideau, the
instigator of the TUNES project (http://tunes.org/), who is visiting
Montreal will give a talk whose title is "Creationist programming vs
Evolutionary programming".
A apologize for the late announcement. I hope you will all make a
special effort to come on such short notice, at an unusual time and
during the Christmas vacation (for many of us). I'm sure it will be
worth it!
