NW Functional Programming Interest Group

NW Functional Programming Interest Group

[Jeff Henrikson]

Hi Greg,

Not sure if you're aware but there is already a functional programming 
interest group in Seattle, SeaFunc.  We have been meeting approximately 
every 4 weeks since 2004.  For the sake of people deciding which group 
to follow, could you explain the differences of your scope?  (We also 
discuss Haskell, OCaml, and Scala, among other things.)

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/SeaFunc/

Our regularly scheduled meeting is also tomorrow, April 16 (later at 
8pm) at Ralph's Grocery downtown.  Check the list for details.

All,

Apologies for multiple listings.

A small cadre of us are organizing a Northwest Functional Programming
Interest Group (hey... NWFPIG, that's kinda funny). Our first official
meeting is at the

The Seattle Public Library
1000 - 4th Ave.
Seattle, WA  98104

from 17:00 - 18:00 on February 20th.

On the first meeting's agenda we'll be

   - giving people who are interested in or actively using FP for work or
   play a chance to meet
   - seeking to build up a pipeline of presentations and guest speakers
   - trying to keep organizational mishigosh to a minimum

Hope to see you there.

Monadically yours,

--greg

from 18:30 - 20:00 on March 19th.

On this meeting's agenda

All,

Apologies for multiple listings.

It's that time again. Our growing cadre of functionally-minded north
westerners
is meeting at the

The Seattle Public Library
1000 - 4th Ave.
Seattle, WA  98104

from 18:30 - 20:00 on April 16th.

This meeting's agenda is a little more fluid, but...

   - i would like to talk about a proposal i'm mulling over around a much
   more general account of the Curry-Howard isomorphism by way of iterated
   distributive laws for monads
   - we also need to get a couple more people on the hook to give a talk

Hope to see you there.

Monadically yours,

All,

Apologies for multiple listings.

A small cadre of us, collectively known as the Northwest Functional
Programming
Interest Group, have been meeting monthly to discuss all things functional.
Our next meeting is at

The Seattle Public Library
5009 Roosevelt Way N.E. *
Seattle*, WA 98105
206-684-4063

from 18:30 - 19:50 on June 25th.

We'd hoped to have Andrew Birkett talk on a Haskell implementation of an
emacs-like editor, but sadly could not secure a meeting venue before
Andrew's flight back to the UK. Maybe we can set up a skype session for a
presentation by Andrew in future. Since it's so late in the game i will step
in and offer a presentation on a compositional representation of graphs i've
been tinkering wit<http://biosimilarity.blogspot.com/2008/06/algebra-of-graphs-individually-and.html>h
-- unless someone has something they'd like to talk about at a moment's
notice.

Hope to see you there.

Monadically yours,
