here is a copy of the text about Wednesday's talk:

Hello, fellow Haskell enthusiasts,

This month we have quite a treat, with Edward Kmett making a talk about 
Lenses and Traversals. This is a very important topic, and our last 
month's guest Russell O'Connor strongly urged everybody to come and 
listen to this talk. There is suggested reading for the talk: "The 
Essence of the Iterator Patttern" 
<http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/jeremy.gibbons/publications/iterator.pdf> paper 
by Jeremy Gibbons and Bruno C. d. S. Oliveira, please take a look at it 
if you have a chance.

Our venue this time is Google office in San Francisco SoMa:

345 Spear Str, San Francisco

Contact phone (mine): 650-762-6644 <tel:650-762-6644>.
Host: Satnam Singh, satnam at raintown.org <mailto:satnam at raintown.org>, 
cell: 408 656 4590 <tel:408%20656%204590>. Please contact Satnam if you 
have questions about the venue or need help with the venue.

Please arrive a little bit earlier, so that we could start at 7pm. Also 
if you arrive around 6:30pm, you can get some dinner at

We may try to set up the video feed through Google Hangout (hangout link 
<http://goo.gl/19Fkz>, also available through our calendar 
<http://goo.gl/EWDUt>), however please don't rely on it and try to visit 
the meeting in person if possible. If you are going to be joining the 
hangout, please mute your microphone before you join.

Some people will be going from the South Bay and East Bay to the meeting 
and back, so there's a possibility of carpooling. Also, it's very easy 
to get to the venue from the 4th & King Caltrain Station: check Google 
Maps for directions, it's also not a very long walk from Caltrain. 
Please send me a message if you need help figuring out transportation. 
If you are driving and can take some people with you, please send a 
message to the bahaskell at googlegroups.com 
<mailto:bahaskell at googlegroups.com> mailing list.

Please retweet/post to reddit/forward this email to those who may be 
interested in attending. If you plan to attend and you're not yet 
subscribed, please subscribe to BAHaskell Google Group to follow all the 
discussions related to this meeting (if you have troubles with the 
captcha while joining, please send me a direct email).

Cheers,
Ivan
