Dear caml-list, This is a gentle reminder that the presentation submission deadline for the OCaml workshop 2017 on May 31st, in two weeks. (For the details, the original announcement at the end of this email.) Writing a talk proposal is not very difficult (you can do it in 20-30 minutes), no need to wait for the last minute! https://icfp-ocaml17.hotcrp.com/ If you have any question about the workshop, feel free to send me an email. If you know someone whose work would be of interest to the OCaml community, please encourage them to propose a presentation. The workshop is a unique (yearly) even to meet other people of the OCaml community whose work may have been supporting your own, or building on top of it. The programme of the ICFP conference is now available. For a sneak peek, some of the preprints are already available ( https://github.com/gasche/ icfp2017-papers ). Besides the ICFP conference, many co-located events may also be of interest to the caml-community. See the list of events on the ICFP webpage (ML-family languages, Haskell, Scheme, Erlang, type-directed programming, effectful programming, high-performance computinng, art and music). http://icfp17.sigplan.org/home For the more theory-oriented among us, the co-located FSCD conference also have many nice events (linear logic, unification, security, higher-dimensional rewriting, homotopy type theory, string diagrams, proof theory, confluence, logical frameworks, program rewriting): http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/conferences/fscd2017/ Finally, if you are a student (or are a teacher with students), you should consider sending application(s) to the Programming Language Mentoring Workshop ( http://icfp17.sigplan.org/track/PLMW-ICFP-2017 ), who can fund conference attendance to university student ( the main target is undergraduate and young graduate, corresponding to the bachelor/master cycles in Europe ). ACM also has various forms of financial support available, in particular for students that give a presentation; see http://www.sigplan.org/PAC/.
