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
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.
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday!
