[ANN] New functional programming group (Western Massachusetts)

[Chas Emerick]

With help from some friends, I am starting a new FP group here in Western Massachusetts:

http://www.meetup.com/Functional-Programming-Connoisseurs/

From the meetup.com description:

Open to any and all that have functional and logical tastes in programming
languages and data models. Clojure, Scala, Erlang, Schemes, Prologs, F#, MLs,
concatenative (e.g. Factor), and so on. Many of us have experience and interest
in building distributed, large-scale systems. Many of us also happen to be
independent contractors, solo/entrepreneurs, business owners, and otherwise
interested in building killer businesses as well as awesome software. Depending
on the week/month, expect a mix of free-for-all conversation and hacking,
lightning talks, and the occasional prepared presentation.

Our first meeting will be in January (date and location TBD). If you're in the area and on this list, stop by and say 'hi'! Of course, if you would like to give a relevant talk, presentation, or demonstration, by all means shoot me an email.

Cheers,

- Chas
