Online Lisp Meetings

[ph...@teknik.io]

Hey, everyone,

I am organizing a series of Online Lisp Meets that started after this year's electronic European Lisp Symposium. The mailing list is at https://mailman.common-lisp.net/pipermail/online-lisp-meets/ and the talk videos so far have been posted at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCymtXMj1M7cKiV9TKLoTtEg

So far the talks have been mostly utilizing Common Lisp for the practical parts of their talks (I guess because I am a CL programmer and most of the Lisp people I know are CL people), but obviously that isn't the idea behind ELS, nor I want that to be the idea behind this post-ELS online series. I've wanted the online meetings to be a meeting grounds for people doing more Lisp dialects than just CL, and the people who've been joining the livestreams on Twitch so far share the same wishes.

I've decided to have a go at this meeting series to provide a place where the wider Lisp community can meet and talk and where the ideas can mix and breed, and so far it's been well-received on #lisp on Freenode. It's just that it's comfortable to post stuff there because it's my online home, much unlike e.g. here in the Racket world - hence someone on #racket on Freenode has advised me to post the announcement here.

So, since I'm already doing a wall of text - please let me know if you're working on something related to Lisp in any any way and you consider it interesting enough to record a video about it, anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. Please feel free to throw your ideas and videos at me, and I'll be happy to host them on Twitch for the broader Lisp community to see while Twitch chat is available for questions and comments - this form has worked well for this year's ELS and it has worked well for the online Lisp meetings which happened so far.

Thanks a lot,

Michał "phoe" Herda

Thanks for sharing! I've been working on
https://github.com/BonfaceKilz/feedanalyser/ which is a feed aggregator
with the end goal of it being plugged in as part of a website or other
form of feed. There's also: https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/guix-past
which is a drive by Ludo(the creator of Guix) and a bunch of people in
that eco-system to make available old no-longer-maintained packages.
This gives scientists the ability to re-use old packages when they want
to reproduce papers whose code no longer uses the latest libs of
packages. It's in GUILE which is a scheme dialect. I'm sure you may find
those interesting and worthy candidates for your stream \o\o. Wdyt?

Other than that, it'd be great to have meets that go beyond CL. I got
my start in Guile (because of GUIX), and eventually got my feet wet in
Racket :)

Yessss. I think that's a good and useful topic to showcase! Please send
me a mail in private or poke me on Freenode - I'll gladly host that.
