Subject: BA Haskell User Group meeting on January 18, 2012 (Wed)

Hello everyone,

David Pollak (whom many of you probably know by his work in Scala
community) proposed to give a talk at our next meeting, which we're going
to have on January 18. David is going to talk about his project Visi:

Visi is a new language... a "what if Haskell and Excel" had a love-child
kind of language.  Visi is pure, lazy, just like Excel, yet Visi is
statically typed, like Haskell.  Visi's syntax is beautiful, in a
Haskell/Python sort of way, yet inviting to spreadsheet users.  Visi is
targeted as a HyperCard-like language for the iPad and the cloud, but with
a firm grounding in computer science that has evolved since the mid-80s.
 Visi is built in Haskell and takes advantage of the GHC platform.  David
Pollak, the inventor of the real-time spreadsheet, founded the Visi project
which can be found at http://visi.io.

The meeting place is our usual place in SoMa, kindly provided by Engine
Yard:

500 Third Street, Suite 510
San Francisco, CA 94107

Contact phone (mine): 650-762-6644.
Host's phone (Larry's): 407-718-7665.

Please arrive a little bit earlier, so that we could start at 7pm sharp.

We may try to set up the video feed through Google Hangout (I will post a
public link in my G+ if we do that before the meeting starts), 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 probably East Bay) to the
meeting and back, so there's a possibility of carpooling. Also, it's very
easy to get to Engine Yard from the Caltrain station (4th & King Str) and
Embarcadero/Powell BART stations. Please send me a message if you need help
figuring out transportation. If you are driving and can take some people
from East/South Bay to the meeting and back, please send a message to the
bahaskell@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

I'm on the East Coast. It is lame.

I'd love to listen in via Google+ hangout if someone would oblige.

There'll be several us with G+. We'll figure it out. I'm coming up from around San Carlos if anyone wants to carpool out of there.

I'll try to make it to dinner to at least hang out. I'm open to
anywhere nearby, just let us know where. I may be a little after
5:30ish since I'm traveling from Berkeley, but save a seat for me (but
don't let that hold up you sitting at a table to order!)

Turns out I probably won't be able to make it to dinner since I had an
old system here at work that died and I have to work on restoring its
services. Just thought I'd let you know you don't need to save a seat
for me at dinner.

Yes please!  Can you stop by Google?  Or if you'd prefer I could bike
over to the caltrain station, but I'd need about 30m notice to get
over there.

Arthur and I would like to join for dinner at 21st Amendment.

I have space for rides back to the Mountain View, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale.

I'm assuming Ivan will take 1 spot. Arthur is in 1 spot.

That leaves 2 left.
