Moin!
Ich war gerade beim Landesjugendring und habe den Schl?ssel abgeholt,
damit wir am Sonntag auch ins Geb?ude kommen. Hier noch mal ein paar
Infos f?r alle, die kommen wollen:
1. Termin: Sonntag, 04.07.04 um 14 Uhr
Da einige Teilnehmer eine weite Anfahrt haben und zeitig wieder weg
m?ssen, sollten wir uns bem?hen, p?nktlich anzufangen. Wer zu sp?t
kommt, wird ggf. einen Teil der Vortr?ge verpassen.
Ich gehe davon aus, da? wir bis maximal 19 Uhr in den LJR-R?umen
sind. Wenn wir danach noch verl?ngern wollen, k?nnen wir in ein
italienisches Restaurant pilgern, da? gleich in der N?he ist. Um
20.45 Uhr ist allerdings das EM-Endspiel... :)
2. Adresse: Landesjugenring Hamburg
G?ntherstr. 34
D-22087 Hamburg
Wer mit ?ffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln kommt, nimmt die U2 (z.B. ab
Hauptbahnhof) und steigt in der Station Uhlandstra?e aus. Dort
steigt man die Treppe (es gibt nur eine) hinab, macht unten eine
Wende um 180 Grad nach rechts und geht dann an den Gleisen lang
(durch einen Arkadengang). Nach ca. 50 bis 100 Metern ?berquert man
die G?ntherstra?e und sieht auf der gegen?berliegenden Stra?enseite
zwei gro?e, rot-orange Wohnh?user (Hausnummer 36 und 38, wenn ich
mich recht entsinne). Auf demselben Grundst?ck, etwas weiter von
der Stra?e weg hinter einer Rasenfl?che, liegt ein Flachbau,
ebenfalls rot-orange, mit dem Schild "LJR 34" dran. Dort ist es.
Mit dem Auto sucht man per Stadtplan oder Navigationssystem die
G?ntherstra?e und dort dann einen Parkplatz in der N?he der
U-Bahn-Br?cke, die die G?ntherstra?e ?berquert.
Ich werde sp?testens ab 13.30 Uhr vor Ort sein und habe mein Handy
dabei: 0177/6523122.
3. Verpflegung
Es gibt eine kleine Kaffeek?che, und ich bringe Kaffee und Milch
mit. Mineralwasser kann man dort kaufen. Wer was anderes trinken
oder essen m?chte, sollte das selbst besorgen.
4. Kosten
Die Raummiete betr?gt 20 Euro, die ich bereits bezahlt habe. Jeder
Teilnehmer sollte 2 Euro zahlen. Wenn was ?brigbleibt, k?nnen wir
das dem LJR spenden oder f?r das n?chste Meeting aufheben.
5. Netzanschlu?
Der LJR hat einen ADSL-Anschlu? von Hansenet, den wir benutzen
d?rfen. In unserem Vortragsraum sind drei Ethernetdosen hinter
einem DHCP-Server f?r diesen Zweck freigeschaltet. Au?erdem liegt
dort auch noch ein 8-Port-Hub rum. Wer ins Netz will, sollte
allerdings selbst f?r Kabel sorgen. Stromanschl?sse sind auch
einige vorhanden.
6. Vortragsequipment
Eine kleine Vortragstafel mit Papier und Stiften steht bereit.
Au?erdem k?nnen wir einen Beamer benutzen. Daf?r mu? der
Vortragende jedoch selbst einen Laptop und ein VGA-Kabel
mitbringen.
7. Sonstiges
Der Gesch?ftsf?hrer des LJR wies mich noch darauf hin, da? sich in
der N?he des Geb?udes eine "Bande" von Kindern rumtreibt, die bei
Seminaren gerne mal vorbeischaut und sich, ?h, Sachen ausleiht. Wir
werden daher gebeten, das Geb?ude immer verschlossen zu halten...
So, mehr f?llt mir nicht ein. Noch Fragen?
Bis dann,
Edi.

Message-ID: <87acyilc1r.fsf@bird.agharta.de>
Ich noch mal:
Ich habe eben eine Email eines potentiellen Teilnehmers bekommen, der
angesichts der angek?ndigten Vortr?ge z?gerte zu kommen, weil ihm das
alles etwas zu "fortgeschritten" vorkam.
Ich denke, da? das definitiv nicht der Fall ist bzw. sein mu?. Aus
meiner Sicht sind Lisp-Anf?nger jederzeit hochwillkommen, und ich bin
sicher, da? die erfahreneren Anwesenden gerne Fragen aller Art
beantworten. Das ist auf jeden Fall effizienter als IRC oder
Usenet... :)
Bei Interesse k?nnen wir am Sonntag gerne z.B. eine "Fragestunde"
einschieben oder beim n?chsten Mal einf?hrende Vortr?ge
halten. Vielleicht ?berlegen sich die "Newbies" am Wochenende ja mal,
zu welchen Themen sie gerne was h?ren w?rden.
Ahoy,
Edi.

Moin Moin,
> 1. Termin: Sonntag, 04.07.04 um 14 Uhr
ich w?nsche Euch allen viel Spass auf dem morgigen Treffen.
Ich selbst kann leider nicht kommen, da an diesem Wochenende
das JazzBaltica Festival in Salzau stattfindet (f?r das ich mir schon
vor langer Zeit Karten besorgt habe...)
Statt ?ber Lisp zu diskutieren, werde ich also Dianne Reeves
lauschen. Auch was Sch?nes.
Beim n?chsten mal bin ich hoffentlich wieder dabei.
Bis dann,

Hallo,
an jene, die morgen zum Lisp-Treffen erscheinen m?chten:
kommt jemand von euch aus Kiel und f?hrt mit dem Auto?
W?re sch?n, wenn es eine M?glichkeit g?be, dass ich evtl. mitfahren k?nnte.
Gr??e aus Kiel,

Howdy,
Does it make any sense to turn up at one of these meetings without
speaking German?
If so I'd quite like to pop in some time. I'd like to have gone to
yesterday's meeting but I need about two weeks notice to get a cheap
Ryanair flight from Stockholm.
Cheers,
Luke

Hi Luke,

I'm just back from the meeting that took place yesterday. Jim Newton's
description of his company was in English, my talk (about persistence
techniques) was in English, Hans Huebner's talk (about some ways he has
used persistence for his applications) was half German half English (he
started in German but when I asked questions in English he switched to
English) and Pascal Costanza's talk was in German.
The general conversation was also a nice mix of English and German, with
a couple of Dutch sentences in between. I think everybody in the room
was comfortable with English.
So my answer is: yes, don't worry if you don't speak German. The best way
to guarantee that some of the talks are in English is by giving a talk
yourself, of course ;-)
There were about 20 people present yesterday (from the Netherlands,
Munich, Berlin, Hamburg and probably a few other places in Germany).
I think it was a great meeting with lots of interesting discussions.
And it's always nice to see the faces behind names that you only know
from the Internet.
Regards,
Arthur

I second that. I think it'd be no problem at all to have an
English-only meeting (except for the occasional "Ist noch Kaffee da?")
if there are enough non-native speakers. (For a suitable value of
"enough" - I think one or two guests are enough to switch to
English... :)

Yep. It'd be great if you (Luke) could make it to the next meeting and
talk about, say, SLIME. Or maybe even better give a live demo of how
you actually use it.

Cologne, Oldenburg, Kiel...

I'm not sure if we'll have that many people for the next meeting but
who knows. Lisp is definitely not dead, it just smells funny... :)
Cheers,
Edi.

Subject: [lisp-hh] My MOP talk, some further remarks...
Message-ID: <40E94387.9050301@web.de>
Hi,
Sometimes, you know better ways to answer questions that have come up
during a talk after you've returned home. So in this case.
There was a question wrt to the LispWorks MOP and its introspection
capabilities. It seems to me now that I have left the impression that
one cannot inspect a class for its (declared or effective) slots. This
is not true. In fact, all the slots that you define as usual in a
defclass form are still available as slot-definition objects and can be
queried, and so on.
The only difference between the AMOP specification and the LispWorks MOP
in this regard is that the slot-xxx-using-class generic functions are
passed a slot-definition metaobject as the third parameter in AMOP, but
the slot name in LispWorks.
Of course, one cannot query a class for the slots that happen to have
been added to single instances after they have been created in the
hash-table-based classes - after all, the purpose of those is to add
potentially unknown slots after the fact. However, it's possible a) to
query single instances for slots that they know about and b) to add more
functionality to the hash-table-based class so that it keeps track of
all the slots that have been added to instances thereof, and then it
would be possible to query that (potentially growing) set. You will just
not be able to query them as slot-definition metaobjects, that's all.
On a different note: There was one remark about
slot-makunbound-using-class being too liberal with regard to an object's
hash table. We have been drawn into a discussion whether one way or the
other is better. However, what I have been missing and is more important
here is the fact that we don't have to agree here. The cool thing about
the MOP is that everyone can have the object model that suits them most
for the given task at hand. I think it's important to stress this once
more because it takes a little getting used to the fact that there is no
one single right way to do things.

No plans yet. I think we should aim at September or October.
Did you get your plane?

I haven't really had a chance to /use/ SLIME yet, but I'll try to wing
it all the same. :-)

A pity. You should try it, it's cool... :)
