First OCaml meeting in Paris ?

First OCaml meeting in Paris ?

[David Teller]

     Dear list,

 A few days ago, we started a discussion on the OCaml mailing-list
regarding the organisation of a mostly informal OCaml developer
conference in Paris in the end of January. Now, many among us are going
to leave for holidays, or at least to forget work a little bit during
that period. Before we do that, I believe that we need an official
organiser, preferably someone who lives in Paris (ie. not me).

 Who's volunteering ?

Cheers,
 David

Me.

I don't have given any news lately, because i was discussing with ENST to
book a room for us.

I just have the answer from ENST (Telecom Paris): we got a room
(Amphitheater Jade) for January, the 26th 2008. 

We could stay there from 10AM to 6PM. 

I am looking for some other little things and i will do an official
announcement on the list.

Regards,
Sylvain Le Gall

Sigh, what a relief :)

Thanks Sylvain!

I was going to volunteer, but I'm sure you'll do a very good organizer!

PS. I've just set up a public Google Agenda named "Ocaml Meeting in 
Paris".  Could be useful for planning purposes.

Hi,

The 26th of january is the first day of JFLA, (a french conference on 
functional programming, where many ocaml hackers go).
http://jfla.inria.fr/2008/index.html
So I guess this is not a good date for the ocaml meeting ... or many of us 
won't be able to attend the meeting.

Why not take the time to organize the event? And invite a few speakers and 
give them a few months to prepare their talks?

Regards,
Vincent Balat

It is right that it clashes with JFLA. But the first two days at JFLA
are devoted to lectures, so some people do not attend JFLA all 4 days
but only the last two. Since Sylvain already booked a room at ENST, may
be we could first ask people not able to attend the meeting because of
JFLA to react immediately, so that we know how many they are (including
yourself, of course).

We could do both :-) First a rather informal meeting on Jan 26, and
later a more formal conference with invited speakers.

In fact, people at ENST do me a favor for this room. Maybe i can ask
them to change the day, but i am not sure if it will work. 

FYI, i have already invited 2 people for doing a short talk (~30 min):
- Nicolas Pouillard about ocamlbuild
- Gerd Stolpmann about GODI (and maybe findlib)

I was thinking to do a short talk myself about OCaml in Debian (maybe i
can ask other debian developer... but i have not done it yet).

The idea, is to have a short presentation before talking about OCaml.

I will set up a wiki page on cocan.org (if i can do it) and do a real
announcement.

Would you (or anyone else attending) be willing to record the
presentations?  If the presenters agree to this, that is.  I am quite
interested in all three of the topics you mentioned, and I think
others who are unable to attend would be as well.

Thank you for organizing this!

do that.
