Hi Marc et.al:
I started the erlang-montreal mailing list a few months back hoping to get local Erlang enthusiasts and professionals to meet up around the language and related topics. We had one talk graciously delivered by Dominique Bouchard who discussed the use of Erlang in his company's speech recognition software. I've put up a rough web site for the group here: http://erlang-montreal.com
One of the reasons for the lack of subsequent meetings is my own workload and the absence of sufficient volunteer help. Therefore, I'm wondering if the two groups can collaborate to host a meeting. I'm willing to deliver a talk about building a highly parallel server using Erlang's OTP framework. It would be an introductory talk aimed at someone not familiar with Erlang, describing Erlang's distinguishing features.
I will try to make it to the MSLUG meeting tonight to gauge interest.
Cheers, Ahmed

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!
