From jquigley at jquigley.com Fri Apr 11 20:35:51 2008 From: jquigley at jquigley.com (John Quigley) Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2008 15:35:51 -0500 Subject: [chicago-lisp] Recap of 3/21 Chicago Lisp Meeting Message-ID: <47FFCBA7.50105@jquigley.com> Happy belated Chicago Lisp news! Two weeks ago (March 21st), we had our first meeting to bootstrap the new Chicago Lisp User Group. We had 7 people show up for the initial meeting: Craig Luddington Eli Naeher Victor Kryukov John Quigley Shaneal Manek Dave Morrow Peter Christensen *Items Covered:* _Future meetings_ - We decided on monthly meetings, the third Friday of every month, 7pm. The next meeting will be Friday, April 18th where John Q. will give a presentation on continuations. The May meeting will have several lightning presentations - submissions welcome (please post a message on the Coordinatr event)! All but one of the attendees live or work in the city of Chicago, so we decided that all meetings will be held in Chicago. _Meeting locations_ - The first meeting was held at Ambrosia Cafe (1963 N. Sheffield, Chicago, map: http://tinyurl.com/2koztz). It was a nice place for a meeting but we'd like to find a place to meet with a projector, so presentations can be given and recorded. Some proposed locations are the IIT Institute of Design (350 N. LaSalle St) and the Harold Washington Library (400 S. State St). If anyone has an office or location they'd like to volunteer, please let me know. _Scope_ - We decided to keep the group and meeting open to the greater Lisp family - Common Lisp, Scheme, Arc, etc. That will be the focus of the group but all are welcome to attend. Some people expressed desire to start or adopt a project that we could work on as a group. _Name_ - Some people wanted a better name than "Chicago Lisp", and who can blame them? One nomination as "LispChics" (inspired by NYC's Lispniks) but I thought it was false advertising (7 guys with laptops, Chics, ??). The name is up in the air, nominations accepted. _Web Presence_ - John Q. owns the chicagolisp.org domain and Craig L. has a server he volunteered for use. A project we develop could be hosted there, and I recommended a CLiki instance for group notes. I've also setup a group on coordinatr.com that I'd like to try out for organizing meetings. You should get an email soon. The common-lisp.net chicago-lisp mailing list will still be used but only as a supplement. The list is not great because of spam but there are a hundred or so subscribers still on the list that would have no other connection to the group. _Intro to Lisp Workshop_ - John Q. informed of a planned, all day workshop designed to introduce programmers to using Lisp - from installing and setting up an image to programming basics to advanced concepts. It is planned for a Saturday in May (date TBD, location probably Institute of Design) and volunteers would be appreciated. _Coordinatr_ - I'll be trying out a new site called Coordinatr.com to manage the meetings. You can RSVP there, submit ideas for proposals, etc. You should receive email inviting you to the first two meetings shortly after this email. There is also a feed of new events created for this group here: http://coordinatr.com/feeds/rss/vcwxbvdrepk2blkbtwctez . You can get updates and reminders by email and/or SMS, but I think the RSS feed doesn't get updated (the platform has only been out for a couple weeks). Let me know how this works - I think it'll be better than a zillion back and forth emails. You can view the feed without registering at the site, but you need to register AND be invited to see the event website, RSVP, post messages, etc. Good news is that you can invite new people to an existing event once you've registered. *Calendar:* Friday, April 18, 7pm: Chicago Lisp Meeting Location TBD Presentation on Continuations Friday, May 16, 7pm: Chicago Lisp Meeting Location TBD Lightning presentations, accepting submissions Some Saturday in May: Intro to Lisp Workshop Location TBD (probably Institute of Design) Getting started with Lisp, all-day event *Homework Items:* Name the Group! Send submissions to Peter Lightning Talk Proposals for May 16 meeting Locations for future meetings - 3rd Friday of the month, 7pm, ~10 people, preferably with wireless access and a projector. If you have a place, email Peter Feedback on using Coordinator for managing events Thanks, Peter Christensen DFGL (de facto group leader) -- ------------------------------------------------------ Peter Christensen http://www.pchristensen.com/ peter at pchristensen.com From jquigley at jquigley.com Fri Apr 11 20:54:06 2008 From: jquigley at jquigley.com (John Quigley) Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2008 15:54:06 -0500 Subject: [chicago-lisp] Chicago Lisp meeting planning: April 18th @ 7p Message-ID: <47FFCFEE.60906@jquigley.com> Folks: We're looking to stage our next monthly meeting one week from today.

Cool, thanks Jason! Do you think you'll have a projector by that time? Note to others: this room is on the smallish side. If I do in fact invite ChiPy et. al., we will need more space.

There is only one unit on the 24th floor, directly across from elevator with glass reception window and little door bell. John should be there to let people in door. Conference room is inside, first room to left on left. Wifi key is written on whiteboard. No projector handy (sorry). Beer is in the fridge in the kitchen. Kitchen and bathroom are down hall to right as you walk in front door. uhh.. that should be it. I wont be able to make it as leaving for London but I'll make next one.

Additional thoughts, suggestions? Best, John Quigley From peter at pchristensen.com Wed Apr 23 12:26:20 2008 From: peter at pchristensen.com (Peter Christensen) Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2008 07:26:20 -0500 Subject: [chicago-lisp] Website is operational In-Reply-To: <480DE334.5070509@jquigley.com> References: <480DE334.5070509@jquigley.com> Message-ID: John, Has the list at common-lisp.net chicago lisp been imported to the new page or does everyone need to sign up again at chicagolisp.org? (Yes, I'd like to be Group Director alias, thx). Also, is there a web interface to edit the site? I'd be happy to update the meetings, announcements, etc since I'm doing it over at my site already. Let me know what I need to do to edit the site and I'll take care of that part of it. -Peter On Tue, Apr 22, 2008 at 8:08 AM, John Quigley wrote: > The Chicago Lisp website is operational.

More details to come, but I want to first confirm that this date works with the various volunteers who will be teaching. Peter, could you follow up in this thread with a recap of what we discussed in the meeting? The topics, in particular, should be finalized. One additional theme that I realized should almost certainly be discussed is Common Lisp conditions. Are there any other topics that we forgot to vet? - John Quigley [1] Google Map: http://tinyurl.com/4rbmd3 The venue itself is an excellent one. Very big, tons of seating, speaker system, projectors and white boards galore. My point is that we won't have any facility needs go unmet.

I'll have the recaps up this weekend - they're mostly written but I was waiting on the date for the workshop before I posted them. -Peter On Fri, Apr 25, 2008 at 9:11 PM, Craig Ludington wrote: > John Quigley writes: > > I've tentatively scheduled the first Lisp Workshop for Saturday, May 31, > 2008 at 3:00pm at the Institute of Design[1] in downtown Chicago (right by > the Clark/Lake El stop).

No web-based editing is in place yet, but I'll have something up in pretty short order and as time allows. In the meantime, I'll have to manually post things by hand ... doh! - John Quigley
