Instead, let's just have a lightning talk extravaganza Tuesday next week 2012-07-24, at 6pm. Pavel, can we reserve the Star Room that evening? Otherwise, we'll find another room... Lightning talk format: You have 5 minutes to speak. One ding at 4 minutes to warn you, and one gong at 5 minutes and you must stop talking. Then 2 minutes for questions while the next speaker plugs in his computer. Rehearse early, rehearse often -- you can rehearse 6 times in half an hour! I'm candidate for one lightning talk on a few cool hacks made possible with recent ASDF releases. Can you email me to submit me your lightning talk proposals? PS: many people have expressed interest in a recording of Kalman Reti's talk. What we have is not perfect but it will hopefully be of interest to you. Inaudible questions have been cut out. http://people.csail.mit.edu/reti/SymbolicsTalk28June2012.m4v https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bw4Wz8Ir0pl1cmNRaHYwdU1wdXM ??? ?

[Pavel, can we book the Star room that evening?] Finally, you may have seen that the deadline for submissions at ILC'2012 has been moved back about three weeks. I hope you contribute something and/or we meet in Kyoto! [I'm submitting an article on lisp-interface-library.] http://international-lisp-conference.org/2012/index.html ??? ?
