Guys,

OOPSLA 2007 (http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/) will take place in Montreal 
in October. A few events will certainly be of interest to members of our 
group: the Dynamic Languages Symposium and a keynote by John McCarthy, the 
father of Lisp.

Richard Gabriel (the Common Lisp/CLOS guy, chair of the conference) 
contacted me personally to tell me that :

  - it is possible to attend OOPSLA for just one day;
  - if there is enough interest, make some group arrangements for us; and
  - Richard Gabriel and Guy Steele will be reprising their HOPL (History of 
Programming Languages) 3 keynote and, if there is enough interest, can make 
the event available for the public.

So please tell me if you are interested in attending any of these events, so 
I can organize some arrangement with him.

Also, I intend to organize a meeting of the MSLUG somewhere around OOPSLA, 
since many people of the Scheme/Lisp community will be in Montreal.

Cheers,
Dominique Boucher
