Register to vote on R6RS ratification
Let me remind you that if you wish to vote on the ratification of the R6RS draft, you must register before July 15 (less than a week from now!). The instructions are at http://www.r6rs.org/ratification/ . You have to write a short statement of interest demonstrating your interest in the Scheme language. I strongly urge everyone on this list to register to vote since you are obviously interested in Scheme. Here is the statement of interest that I submitted. ( (email-address "feeley@iro.umontreal.ca") (full-name "Marc Feeley") (geographic-location "Montreal, QC, Canada") (affiliation "Universite de Montreal") (public-email-address "feeley at iro.umontreal.ca") (web-page-url "http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~feeley") (statement-of-interest "As a student I was attracted to Scheme by its simplicity, dynamism and expressiveness. My Master's and PhD theses focused on the efficient implementation of Scheme. Since then I have been involved in programming language research, and Scheme has been my language of choice for exploring the design and implementation of functional programming languages. I have written several papers related to Scheme and have taught Computer Science to many students using Scheme. I am the author of a few implementations of Scheme including Gambit, which is well known for its performance, portability and conformance to the Scheme standard (indeed the only fully conformant Scheme to C compiler). I am a founder of the Workshop on Scheme and Functional Programming and a member of its steering committee. I served on the Scheme standard's editor's committee as editor-in-chief. Scheme has been an integral part of my daily activities over the last 20 years.")) For the record, I intend to vote against the ratification of R6RS. Marc
