It is with great pleasure that I am announcing a new west coast
Clojure conference: Clojure/West (more: http://clojurewest.org,
http://twitter.com/clojurewest). The announcement is here:
http://clojurewest.org/news/2011/11/2/clojurewest-is-launched.html.

The first Clojure/West will occur March 16-17th in downtown San Jose,
CA. Future years may occur in San Francisco or other west coast
cities with robust Clojure communities (Seattle, Portland, San Diego,
and LA come to mind). This year I put a premium on finding the best
combination of an affordable hotel rate ($119/night) and a convenient
venue for airport, eating, etc which ultimately lead me to San Jose.

I'm really excited to put together my experience in running Strange
Loop (which has always had an unabashed Clojure focus :) and my own
experience as a full-time Clojure developer at Revelytix to creating a
new forum for Clojure developers. The Conj is great and I have been
in frequent contact with the Clojure/core team to make Clojure/West an
event that complements the Conj rather than competes with it. I think
the community is large enough that we can have two great events
(hopefully more!) each year.

Please join the Clojure/West mailing list for future announcements
(Call for Presentations, registration, sponsorship, etc): http://eepurl.com/gP51T.

Alex,

This is great to hear. Thanks so much for all of your contributions to this community. I watched the Sussman talk last night on InfoQ and was reminded of how fantastic StrangeLoop 2011 was. I'm happy to hear you're heading this up.

Hope to see all of you there.
