[Wellington-pm] Unenterprisey Languages session Saturday

[Peter Kelly]

Hi all,

Geoff Cant from Catalyst is organising a meeting this Saturday as below,
covering Common Lisp, Io, and Erlang.

The talk on Erlang is particularly recommended for those seeking high
availability and deterministic behaviour on the cheap.  And Geoff is an
enthusiastic and capable speaker :)

RSVP to him as below please.

Cheers,

Peter

Hi all, I'm hosting an Unenterprisey Languages meeting this Saturday  
(10th June) here at Catalyst (L2 boardroom to be precise).

The blurb I've been spam^H^H^Hending to everyone runs:

Speakers so far include:
* Robert Strandh
(http://dept-info.labri.u-bordeaux.fr/~strandh/index.en.html) who
will probably be talking about Common Lisp and the G# score editor
* Jonathan Wright who will be talking about the Io programming
language (http://www.iolanguage.com/)
* Chris Double who will be talking about something interesting
(http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/)
* I will be talking about Erlang (http://erlang.org) and maybe Sisc
scheme (http://sisc.sourceforge.net/) if there's time

If you're interested in wierd and wonderful languages that aren't
quite up with the play on SOA, have a limited amount of middleware
written in them and generally have far less XML than the competition
you may want to come along.

The talks will start at 4pm at Catalyst (Level 2, Eagle Technologies
House, 150-154 Willis St. Wellington) and we'll head out to dinner[1] at
about 7pm.

Please RSVP to me, <nem @ spam.mx.lisp.geek.nz>, if you would like to
attend. If you've got a neat hack in an interesting language you'd
like to talk about, we'll be sure to find you a speaking slot[2].

Cheers,

[1] The location for dinner is yet to be decided, suggestions welcome
