Marc, this sounds like a great idea.
I can put together a talk about the Parenscript Common Lisp to JavaScript compiler for January.
If one of your students can present a talk about your work on JS compilers that IMO would be very interesting. May be too much JavaScript for some, but there's a lot of interesting optimization problems in writing efficient JS compilers that are of use for Lisp implementations.

Dear MSLUGers, we haven't had a meeting in a long time and I am hoping we can start having regular meetings again, say once every 2 months.
Please reply to this message if you are interested in having a meeting in November (I propose Thursday November 10 at 7 PM, but if you would prefer another date then please make suggestions)
We need speakers! If you are working with Scheme/Lisp or related language (e.g. JavaScript), then please consider giving a presentation. Don't be shy... we all have a story to tell. If no one comes forward, then I can prepare a talk on the Gambit REPL app for iPhone. I can also ask my students to present some of the work we are doing on the compilation of JavaScript.
You can also propose to me other people who you think might give an interesting presentation. I'll do the arm twisting!
