ALU websites

[Daniel Herring]

Hi Nick,

I just included you on an email to some likely ALU website contacts. 
We'll see how they respond.

Regarding the ILC content, I found backups containing a most if not all 
materials for ILC 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, and 2011.  I should 
also have the contents for 2012 squirreled away somewhere.


Here's a reasonable archive of the 2012 site.

https://web.archive.org/web/20141120174250/http://international-lisp-conference.org/2012/index.html


For ILC 2014, the conference website was hosted on a different server, and 
the ALU site just had a link / redirect.  I don't believe we ever got a 
copy of the 2014 site on the ALU server.  Fortunately, the original site 
is still available.
