We need to set the meeting and promote it. Any ideas or volunteers?

Without a long talk (40mins) we should consider maybe golfing, or doing
something hands on, or lightning talks.

We can also do code & tell. Where we walk through code that someone is
familar with.

I would prefer if code & tell had multiple presenters.

So any other suggestions or volunteers for presentations. We can also
aggregate like the ruby and javascript group does, where 4 people sign
up to present 10 minutes apiece or less.

So to get the ball rolling I volunteer a 10 minute talk about a Haskell
sand game I made a long time ago, because the State Monad made it pretty
interesting. This volunteering does not preclude anyone giving a bigger
talk.

Also thanks again to Roshan for that very thorough Monad talk. I grok it
really well now. Thank you.

I can also do an interactive CPS (continuation passing style tutorial),
which helps when you're trying to do things monadically, but I'd prefer
if other pipe in about what you want to see and what you are willing to
share.

It doesn't have to be haskell. If you did some neat immutable C,C++,Java
that is cool too, as long as you think it is relevant to functional
programming.

Summary:

* Looking for volunteers.
* Code & Tell is an option (still need volunteers)
* Golfing is an option
* Lightning talks
* What do you want to see?
* What do you want to share?
