Okay at long last, the announcement/reminder about the next monthly
RCSS meeting.

Since nobody volunteered to speak, and I didn't get a response back
from Allan about parametized chess, it's looking like it's going to be
a shorter/lighter meeting.  So far the only confirmed speaker is
Peter, so unless someone else volunteers I'm going to talk a bit about
a paper I've been reading on classifying programming languages based
upon eductational merits and try and generate a bit of discussion.

To speak:

-- Mozilla stuff (Peter)
-- Brief summary and discussion on paper "Lowering the Barriers to
Programming: a survey of programming environments and languages for
novice programmers" (Me)
-- Anything you want to present..... :p

As per tradition, I'm going with the "lets just show up in a room and
hopefully it's not booked" routine.  So meeting place is @ UVic in ECS
130 at 7PM on Tuesday May 6th, 2008.  If for some reason that room
doesn't work (ie if it's already booked, etc) then our backup room
will be ECS 104 (which IIRC is the opposite end of the 1st floor of
ECS).  So to recap:

Date: Tuesday, My 6th 2008
Time: 7PM
Place: UVic - ECS 130

See you all then!

As for looking past this month, I talked to my friend who's defending
a quantum computing related thesis soon, and it sounds like he'll
probably be able to present something to RCSS in June.  And of course
I'm going to send out a few e-mails to see if I can maybe get someone
in the department to come out and talk as well.  Other than that, I
NEED VOLUNTEERS FOR PRESENTATIONS..... :p  If there's anything you'd
like to talk about, please, please, please, let me know.
