OK, let's call the meeting for Saturday January 3rd 2009 around 4:30pm somewhere to be announced at Universite de Montreal, where I will deliver my spiel about "Creationist programming vs Evolutionary programming" before we go have dinner and drinks somewhere.
Marc, can you announce the precise time & location?
Merry Christmas!

Cher Marc,
2008/12/24 Marc Feeley feeley@iro.umontreal.ca:
Hello. I can arrange for a conference room at the Université de Montréal on January 2 or 3, preferably the 3. But I would like confirmation that people will come.
Thanks a whole lot for the offer!
I'm taking the bus on the 3 at 23:15, so I'd prefer a meeting on the 3rd in the early evening, followed by an early dinner/drink event. Any time on Friday the 2nd is fine by me, too.
I could discuss one of these topics, at your convenience:
- From Software Creationism to Software Evolution:
a comic philosophical perspective on programming.
- First-class PCLSRing:
a basic concept for extensible concurrent systems with implications for language and compiler designers.
- XCVB, or improving modularity for Common Lisp:
My current software project (working prototype recently released), and a few lessons for language designers.
I should add, for the benefit of the MSLUG members, that François-René Rideau is the instigator of the TUNES project (http://tunes.org/) which shares similar design goals with Gambit. I'm looking forward to meeting him.
With the important difference that Gambit is real running software, whereas TUNES is vaporware so far.
