For the past several months there have been rumors of a stirring of the
Great Lisp Beast. Some have even suggested that the Lisp Cabal itself has
held two Lesser Concourses on the Island of the Manahattoes. Though I have
no special knowledge, and certainly no brief to deal with such talk, I
believe that the source of these ridiculous imaginings of the photogravure
press may be the few informal meetings which have led to this:
The organization Lispers of New York City will meet openly for the first
time on Tuesday 11 February 2003 at Kenny's bar, also called "The Time-Out",
on the east side of Amsterdam Avenue between 76th and 77th Streets, on the
West Side of Manhattan.
This meeting is free and open to the public.
The formal meeting will take no more than seventy-five minutes, and then
the serious drinking will commence.

While flattering, if youse guys persist in this business of directing
people to "Kenny's bar", the next meeting will find lispnyks scattered
amongst P&G, Citrus, River, Time Out, Hurley's, Jake's Dilemma, Yogi's,
Blondie's...

That actually only narrows it to three of my bars. :)
Anyway, kudos to Dave Bakhash for incubating this cabal in his offices
and for bringing us together.

Doh! Well, lispnyc is a joy. Every city should have one. Sort of an
"instant community". Just imagine talking computers as much as you like
while getting thrown (figuratively, of course) out of one bar after another.
Find one other lisper in your area and get together for beers or latte.
And remember not to mention "work".

Well the Lisp part isn't much trouble, but I live in Baltimore so the
problem is more one of naming. "Lispnik" is quite elegant and I'm a
bit stumped for something akin to it yet associated with the city.
Baltimore Lisp Users Group (BLUG) just doesn't have the right ring to
it...

I'm a Lisper/Schemer and in the San Francisco area, but am originally
from Baltimore. May I suggest LHON? "We speak Lisp, hon."

Can you take over the whole state and be lispmd? Then y'all can be "lisp
doctors" or "lisp mudders". Whatever you do, keep Chevy Chase out of
this. :)

Just read Christian's post praising "lispnik", looks like we'll have to
open source the name. maybe only lispnyc members get to spell it lispnyk?

That'd be fine. Lispnik has just the right mix of politics and

Hey, maybe we need a live video feed to the web site for virtual

That's fine by me too. But no point coming up with a name unless
someone knows a bar that's worth going to. ;-) I'm over in Oakland
near Rockridge where there's a reasonable bar, Ben & Nick's[1] on
College Street. But I also get over to San Francisco pretty often too.
Who's in?

Somebody down south want to propose a meeting place that's near a
Caltrain station. Meanwhile I've got a proposal on the table for Ben
and Nick's which is about 50 feet from the Rockridge BART station in
Oakland. Anyone want to get some beers some evening this week?
Wednesday? (Just to pick a day out of a hat.) I suppose if we end up
attracting only Oakland/Berkely Lispers we could be ObLisp.

Good point. I just made up that time (er, copied it from the NYC
guys). It's all the same to me. If there are folks who could make it
if it was later, speak up. Even if we start at 7:00 I, for one, can
stick around more or less forever as long as there's at least one
other person for me to hang out with.

Oh Gawd!! Everybody in this NG is going to have a drink or two with
other lispers. Only poor li'll me, alone in Aachen, Germany, has to

I like the idea of meeting in Cologne - it's fairly central and very
nice. What do you all think? Next weekend would be ok for me...

Saturday the 22. would be ok for me. What do Peter and Henrik think?
Now, choosing a bar in Cologne can be really hard :-)

Its 150m from the south station. Take the exit to the
Z�lpicher Strasse, follow it eastwards and about 150m the
Borsalino is at a street corner.

This is an intriguing question. Given a line-up of programmers
or even regular Germans, how would you pick out the Lisper?
(The slightly over-developed digits on the right hand (from
years of striking the parentheses keys) might be a reliable
indicator -- think Guillermo Vilas' asymmetrically large left
arm. But the again, all those C++ and Java programmers have
to use the same fingers to reach the brace and semicolon keys.)

That's a nice idea. :)
So we are going to meet in Cologne on Sunday, Feb 23 at 18:00. As of yet
we are three people (Mario, Peter and me). Who else is going to join us?
(Of course, you don't need to be strictly from Cologne or the
surrounding area, you just need to happen to be there. ;)

Make sure it's not carnival season. Some people might be wearing
a Lisper costume and you'd never recognize the real ones ;-)

Well, to meet each other. ;)
There are no concrete ideas yet, other than to have a good time and
perhaps talk about what other people do with Lisp.
We are going to meet in Bistro Borsalino
(http://www.restaurant-borsalino.de/) next Sunday at 18:00. I have added
our meeting to http://alu.cliki.net/Local

That's been the best part of lispnyking for me. Lispers are good
company: bright, hard-drinking, and willing to talk about programming.
Good networking as well.
And if you like doing Lisp, my sense of lispnyk so far is a lot of
interest in Lisp evangelism, especially to the business community. ie,
down the road more Lisp jobs.
But I'd be happy with just the social angle.

Well since you asked...
We got a domain after discussing it(lispnyc.org)
We are working on a lisp powered website that will answer the

1: what is lisp
2: why should I use it

And Russ suggested a couple of projects for us to undertake, a weblog
tool or a portable pathname replacement (if I am getting it right).
I thought at first a project would be necessary to make lispnyc work.
Now the social side of it seems enough, but I think the more sober
amongst us would appreciate something lispier.
Note also that with this year's ALU meeting here in NYC, lispnyc will
likely have some fun in and around that.
To a degree we are letting this evolve on its own, tho Russ's or other
proposals might be wise in that they are a little more proactive; a good
group might not just happen by itself.

Heh. We who met in Cambridge, UK yesterday also talked briefly about
pathnames, before shuddering into our beers (or, indeed, Cokes) and
moving the conversation on.
Nothing formal or organized was decided upon, in any case -- but there
is another meeting of mostly different people on Thursday in London...

OK, this seems as good a place as any to chip in. Reacting to demand
from Lispers the world over for up-to-date information, the ALU web
committee recently decided to turn over its development site to become
a community-maintained thingy. A collection of links to local user
groups would be exactly the kind of use to which we'd like to see it
put.
I've kicked the ball off: I created the 'local' page with a
placeholder LispNYC entry. Some community-minded Lispnyk wants to go
back and fill it in. The rest of you, think of a name, think of a
bar, and add your own collective.
http://alu.cliki.net/Local
CLiki is a Wiki1 - there is only one namespace. So, your name is
guaranteed unique. If you change the name, put a note on the old page
and I'll go round and garbage collect eventually.
(And I may as well ask while I'm posting: anyone else near here?
Oxford, Thames Valley, SE England. London would be pretty convenient)
Other news from the ALU (but please note that I am not an official
spokeslisper) - there are moves afoot to resuscitate the official ALU
site too, for information that dare not be mindlessly changed by
random members of the public - constitution, board members, bylaws,
minutes etc. We'll be keeping a close eye on what goes on with the
CLiki site too - if people want to start lifting the non-official
information from the old lisp.org site, updating it for the Century of
the Fruitbat, and transplanting it, that would be useful.
Enjoy.

If the ALU web site--or part of it--is going to be a subset of CLiki,
is CLiki's mission statement going to be changed to to accomodate
commercial Lisp's and non-Unix Lisps's?

Good question. The term "CLiki" is overloaded, which is probably
going to get confusing
* CLiki as a piece of software (which you can download and,
eventually, after much cursing, install on your own servers) is
freely usable for any purpose
* The CLiki installation at www.cliki.net continues to be for "free
software implemented in Common Lisp and available on Unix-like
systems"
* The CLiki installation at alu.cliki.net, on the other hand, is
"produced by the ALU with and on behalf of the Common Lisp users and
vendors community". Yes, that includes commercial Lisps.
In short, they're two completely different sites. You can tell by the
ghastly background colour (replacement suggestions welcome, btw).
They don't don't share pages. Eventually I hope that the ALU one will
shift to the new ALU web server, when that's running. So in that
sense, no change in the direction of CLiki is required.
What I expect to see happen is that some of the information currently
on www.cliki.net will start moving to the ALU site. For example, many
of the documents referenced on www.cliki.net are non-free(sic) and
would be better off on the ALU site - likewise some of the news about
commercial or Windows implementations is not really relevant to
www.cliki.net either, and can migrate across. Some past attempts at
"community standards" have been made on www.cliki.net, which again
might be better off in a place where people don't feel they need to buy
into some ideology to participate.
I don't yet know exactly what this is going to do to www.cliki.net in
the long term[*]. It may live on independently, or it may fizzle, or
it may end up as a view onto the ALU site showing only the pages with
a tick against "bruce perens says you won't go to hell for reading
this". I have my own plans (which don't involve it dying off just
yet), but mostly it depends on where the contributors want to take it.
[*] OK, medium term. In the long term I'm really hoping that we won't
need to be using Unix any more.

I'm in London (well, I work in London at least). Any preferences as to
where in London? There's OK pubs most everywhere, but some are more
and some are less convenient, especially now that the Central Line is

OK, if we decide for London, there are several nice pubs within OK
travel distance from either Paddington or King's Cross.
If we decide for Cambridge, ISTR that the Panton Arms is quite OK and
also has a cool fish phone box. Or the Hopbine. Or Castle at Castle
Hill. Or, possibly, the Zebra.
For Oxford, I don't really know, not having been much in Oxford.

I'm not based in London or Cambridge but Edinburgh and/or Devon, but I
will be in Cambridge for (I think) the week starting 3rd March.
Alternatively (and again with careful arrangement) I can make it to
London more easily than Cambridge in general.
Maybe we should have a UK lisp group which could move its meetings
around given that there probably aren't millions of us, still less
millions who read cll. We could (maybe) host a *small* mailing list,
but we could not spamproof it (no time to install the SW), and others
could likely do it better anyway.

I'm in Cambridge, too. And of course Xanalys is here, at least the
part with most Lispers.
Alas, pubs here are full of smoke. Can we find somewhere at least
relatively clean? None of the Lispers I know here are smokers,
anyway.

The Free Press, behind the Grafton Centre is (or was as of a year ago,
anyway) smoke and mobile phone free. Nice place.
If I were to suggest Monday 17th of February for Cambridge, UK people,

The Free Press was still non-smoking as of, um, more like 6 months

Best case, it's about 50 minutes from London King's Cross (then
another 20-30 minutes walk to the Grafton centre, IIRC).
When (roughly) are you in London? We could try to arrange something, I
guess.

Oxford -> Cambridge is even worse (the only way to do it by train is
via London, and the coach is said to be 2-3 hours on a good day)
It sounds like there are enough Lispers in London to make a London
meet practical. But if we make it some day other than Monday, the cam
people get to turn up as well. Midweek next week sometime?

Oh, 7:00ish? I don't know, really -- I've never been involved with

I'm in Bristol (if you draw a line from Cambridge through Oxford you
don't miss Bristol by all that much), so an Oxford or London meet
might be of interest. Not that I've done much Lisp lately, but that
shouldn't stand in the way of beer :-)

Starting when? We have been doing 7PM at Dave's office, same time sound
good?
btw, tho Time Out loved the idea of a bucnh of hungry, thirsty lispniks
one Tuesday a month at 7PM... it occurs to me we have yet to warn them
we will be descending on them en masse tomorrow night.
I will remedy that ASAP. Would folks plz email me if you intend to
attend, with a head count if you are speaking for a set? No harm if you
miss this request, I just want to let them know if it will be five,
fifteen, or fifty.
