We may either meet to have lightning talks and dinner, or cancel the entire event. Are there takers to come anyway? Or to give an alternate presentation or a lightning talk? ??? ?

BTW at NovaSparks we have started to use my old (but still way cool :) web framework for an internal web based app so I've revived it and I will be able to make a demo/presentation in some future lisp meeting. It's too short for today though.
