I'm in town for work this week, is there any interest in an informal
get-together on Wednesday or Thursday?

I'm totally swamped this week, and so I don't think I'll be able to
make it tomorrow.

There will probably be a talk later this month, though. We've got a
room reserved for Thursday 23 May, so save the date.

I'm in NYC this week, but I hope you'll have plenty of fun without me!

CBC is noisy, but has the advantage of beer.

If you're looking for a good yet affordable restaurant in the future,
there's Rangzen Tibetan in Central Square. My favorite Indian is
Punjabi Dhaba, but it's off the tracks and might only hold a smaller
group. In Central Square, India Pavillion has good reviews and might
have more space, but is somewhat more expensive. Cheap and good Indian
in Central Square is Dosa Factory, but there again, space is tight ?
or if the weather is good, you could find a place outside ? something
to try in the summer?

Maybe this would be fun?   Use Google Moderator to accumulate questions: http://j.mp/asdf-q http://

Add more, vote up the ones that interest you. 

On the other hand, maybe Far? would rather not :)

Yes, there is a gathering tomorrow. I've been trying to post an
announcement to this list for some time, but my messages haven't been
getting through for some reason. Let's see if this one makes it.

Zach was kind enough to post the announcement for me where it would
get seen: <http://xach.livejournal.com/318093.html>. I hope you'll
all forgive the communications difficulties and short notice, and
come listen to Far? speak. It's in the usual place (MIT 32-D463)
at 18:30.

CBC works. I wouldn't be opposed to an Indian restaurant for some future get together, also - there are some good ones in range.

Boston Lisp Meeting 2013-05-23T18:30 -- Far?: Tutorial on ASDF3

When? TONIGHT, Thursday May 23rd 2013 at 6:30pm.

Where? MIT 32-D463 (Star conference room at the Stata Center).
	http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=3D32

Who Speaks? Fran?ois-Ren? Rideau will give a Tutorial on ASDF3

I'm sorry about the short notice on this one;
communications problems of all kinds have been gumming up the works.
Please feel free to spread the word about the meeting
via whatever mechanisms are available to you.

Talk details follow. I hope to see you all there!

Title: "ASDF 3, or lessons in building portable Common Lisp programs"

Summary:
"ASDF (Another System Definition Facility) has been the de facto standard
Common Lisp build system for over ten years.
I recently rewrote it completely, several times,
all along mostly preserving backwards compatibility.
The latest incarnation, ASDF 3, in addition
to fixing deep design bugs older than ASDF itself,
also includes extensive portability library, UIOP,
not to be confused with an existing parallelizing extension, POIU.
I will show how to use ASDF, explain the recent improvements, and
discuss the challenges of writing portable Common Lisp programs
and what that means for the past and future of Lisp."

About the speaker:
"Fran?ois-Ren? Rideau is a Lisp plumber. On good days, he designs
great piping for persistent data, to be used in airline reservation
system of ITA (now part of Google). On bad days, he dons his rubber
gloves and scrubs the pipes. He also has a blog, Cybernethics, where
he writes on liberty, music, programming, and dynamic systems in
general."

I apologize for a last minute notice.
The piping system is down.
