[Fwd: NYC LOCAL: Tuesday 11 February 2003 Lisp in New York City: Lispers gather to eat and drink]

[Kenny Tilton]

With the kind assent of the author I am forwarding this announcement to 
perhaps more comp NGs than he assented to. (oops) Any blame for 
over-posting must fall on me.

My thinking is that the nascent lispnyc.org and associated user group 
are casting the net wide, reaching out to functional languages of all 
kinds, and other folks currently using imperative languages for 
production work but who might well be interested in learning of Lisp's 
use in production environments.

We have no formal charter, but most yakking has been about real-world 
use of Common Lisp, and outreach to the business community currently 
/not/ using Lisp, so I don't feel too guilty about spamming y'all.

Besides, it is a great time if you can make it, as much social as 
Lispy/computery.

And the constraints crowd especially will be thrilled to learn there 
exists a new constraints hack (my pet Cells project) which is currently 
being groomed for a major supporting role in a universal Common Lisp 
application framework. Sorry, no partial or multi-way constraints, but 
it turns out simple linear, dataflowish constraints are the bomb.

Here's the original. Sorry for the short notice. If you think you might 
attend, plz email me so I can warn the proprietors of Time Out. No sweat 
on this score, tho: the joint is empty at 7PM (the time we are meeting).

Followup-To: comp.lang.lisp

For the past several months there have been rumors of a stirring of the
Great Lisp Beast.  Some have even suggested that the Lisp Cabal itself has
held two Lesser Concourses on the Island of the Manahattoes.  Though I have
no special knowledge, and certainly no brief to deal with such talk, I
believe that the source of these ridiculous imaginings of the photogravure
press may be the few informal meetings which have led to this:

The organization Lispers of New York City will meet openly for the first
time on Tuesday 11 February 2003 at Kenny's bar, also called "The Time-Out",
on the east side of Amsterdam Avenue between 76th and 77th Streets, on the
West Side of Manhattan.

This meeting is free and open to the public.

The formal meeting will take no more than seventy-five minutes, and then
the serious drinking will commence.
