If you have experience using OCaml (or another functional language) in a practical application, consider submitting a proposal to give a talk about it at CUFP! Also, check out the new CUFP website: http://cufp.org Without further ado: CUFP 2010 Call For Participation ================================ Functional programming languages have been a hot topic of academic research for over 35 years, and have seen an ever larger practical impact in settings ranging from tech startups to financial firms to biomedical research labs. At the same time, a vigorous community of practically-minding functional programmers has come into existence. CUFP is designed to serve this community. The annual CUFP workshop is a place where people can see how others are using functional programming to solve real world problems; where practitioners meet and collaborate; where language designers and users can share ideas about the future of their favorite language; and where one can learn practical techniques and approaches for putting functional programming to work. Giving a CUFP Talk ------------------ If you have experience using functional languages in a practical setting, we invite you to submit a proposal to give a talk at the workshop. We're looking for two kinds of talks: **Experience reports** are typically 25 minutes long, and aim to inform participants about how functional programming plays out in real-world applications, focusing especially on lessons learned and insights gained. Experience reports don't need to be highly technical; reflections on the commercial, management, or software engineering aspects are, if anything, more important. You do not need to submit a paper! **Technical talks** are expected to be 30-45 minutes long, and should focus on teaching the audience something about a technical technique or methodology, from the point of view of someone who has seen it play out in practice. These talks could cover anything from techniques for building functional concurrent applications, to managing dynamic reconfigurations, to design recipes for using types effectively in large-scale applications. While these talks will often be based on a particular language, they should be accessible to a broad range of functional programmers. If you are interested in offering a talk, or nominating someone to do so, send an e-mail to francesco(at)erlang-consulting(dot)com or yminsky(at)janestreet(dot)com by 15 May 2010 with a short description of what you'd like to talk about or what you think your nominee should give a talk about. Such descriptions should be about one page long. There will be no published proceedings, as the meeting is intended to be more a discussion forum than a technical interchange.
