Hi everybody,

What: Montreal Scheme/Lisp User Group Meeting -- Space Edition
When: *Wednesday* August 27th 7pm

Montréal,2920 chemin de la Tour
(you can find a plan of the UdeM campus here:

Two presenters have volunteered for what should be a very interesting night:

* Vincent St-Amour -- Small Scheme Stack: a Scheme TCP/IP stack
targeting small embedded applications

Vincent has worked on an optimized-for-space TCP/IP stack in Scheme.
He will give us the same presentation that he will eventually give to
the Scheme Workshop in Victoria later this year.  You can see an
abstract of his presentation here:

* David St-Hilaire -- An implementation of Space Invaders for Gambit-C

In the context of his Masters, David has implemented a clone of the
classic Space Invaders arcade game.  He will give us a demonstration
of his game and discuss its architecture and implementation.  You can
try David's game by downloading it here:

As usual, everybody is welcome and we will go for a beer after the
presentations.

See you next Wednesday!


Guillaume
