Summer Racketfest 2019

[Jesse Alama]

Summer Racketfest 2019

  aka Racketfest: The ICFP Edition

I'm happy to announce that Racketfest, a new one-day

conference dedicated to Racket and its philosophy of

language-oriented programming, will be held again this

summer. It will be right before the big ICFP

superconference.

  Saturday, August 17, 2019

  Skalitzerstrasse 85, Berlin, Germany

  https://racketfest.com/register

Keynote by Matthew Flatt: "Language-Oriented Programming the

Racket Way"

Talks:

* Kris Micinski (Syracuse)

* Prabhakar Ragde (Waterloo)

* David Thrane Christiansen (Galois)

New in this edition of Racketfest will be Office Hours: in

parallel, each of the speakers will be available for the

audience members. It's a time to ask more detailed

questions, learn about a Racketeer's workflow, go behind the

scenes, find out what makes them ticket (Racket-wise), and

generally to ask: "How did you do that?" Everything you

wanted to ask but which doesn't fall under the usual scope

of talk Q&A (including but not limited to: "How did you get

Slideshow to do that?") Bring your laptop and get help,

information, and inspiration from top-notch Racket talent.

As with the first Racketfest, we'll also have an open mic: a

time for lightning talks (if you have something to show us)

or to sound off on an idea that you'd like to see developed

in Racket, or a problem you're facing.
