Boston Lisp Meeting:
Wednesday 2009-09-30
Christine Flood 

http://fare.livejournal.com/147676.html 

A Boston Lisp Meeting will take place
on Wednesday, September 30th 2009 at 1800 at NEU WVG 108,
where *Christine* Flood will speak about
*Project Fortress*.

Additionally, we will have two 5-minute Lightning Talks,
each followed by 2-minute Q&A. Speakers to be announced.

Also, there will be a buffet offered by ITA Software.
Registration is not necessary but appreciated.
See details below.

                                       *

*Christine Flood* will speak about
*Project Fortress*.

Project Fortress is a programming language designed at Sun Labs
with these fundamental principles:
What you write on your white board works
(Standard Mathematical Syntax).
Implicit Parallelism
(Let the runtime system exploit the fine grained parallelism in your
algorithm).
Languages should be designed from the ground up to grow over time
(A small fixed core with as much of Fortress as possible in Fortress
libraries).
Other features include strong static typing and transactional memory.
This talk will give you an overview of the language
and walk through some examples.
Feel free to check out our open source implementation
and language specification at
http://ProjectFortress.sun.com/

Christine Flood is a research scientist at Sun Microsystems Labs.
She has been working in the field of computer science for 20 years.
Her interests are in programming language design and implementation
particularly garbage collection and parallelism.
She's a former Symbolics/MIT hacker.

                                      * *

At every meeting, before the main talk,
there are two slots for strictly timed 5-minute "Lightning Talks"
followed by 2 minutes for questions and answers.

The slots for next meeting are still open.
Step up and come talk about your pet project!
Contact me at fare at tunes.org for registration.

                                     * * *

*The Lisp Meeting will take place on
Wednesday September 30th 2009 at 1800 (6pm)
at NEU WVG 108.*

This is neither the usual day of the week, nor the usual location.
This is at Northeastern University, in the West Village G residence
building
which is right behind the Computer Science building WVH
(see this picture http://tmp.barzilay.org/wvh.jpg )
when you arrive from the T on Huntington Avenue
(Green E line, stop at Northeastern Station,
or possibly Museum of Fine Arts;
you can also walk from Ruggles on the Orange line).
As the number indicates, the room is on the first floor.

Northeastern maps and direction:
  http://www.northeastern.edu/campusmap/maps.html

Many thanks go to Eli Barzilay for arranging for the room,
and to Northeastern University for welcoming us.

                                    * * * *

Dinner:
ITA Software http://itasoftware.com/careers/
a fine employer of Lisp hackers (disclaimer: I work there),
is kindly purchasing a buffet to accompany our monthly Boston Lisp
meeting.
Anyone who attends is welcome to partake.

We appreciate it if you let us know you're coming,
and what food taboos you have,
so that we can order the correct amount and kind of food.
Tell us by sending email to
boston-lisp-meeting-register at common-lisp.net.
We won't send any acknowledgement unless requested;
importantly, we'll keep your identity and address confidential
and won't communicate any such information to anyone, not even to our
sponsors.

Somehow, we the organizers got mixed up at the July meeting,
and the promised buffet didn't materialize.
I offer my sincere apologies to all concerned for this blatant failure.

                                   * * * * *

The previous Boston Lisp Meeting on August 31th
had about 20-odd participants.
Emmanuel Schanzer talked about
 Teaching Mathematics and Problem-Solving through Programming ,
preceded by lightning talks by
Gregory Marton on Teaching Linguistics through Programming 
and Alex Plotnick on Gabriel's Gimmick.
http://fare.livejournal.com/146665.html

We're always looking for more speakers.
The call for speakers and all the other details are at:

Volunteers to give Lightning Talks are also sought.
