Last Tuesday the Bay Area Lispniks met at the Triple Rock Brewery in
Berkeley. We had a spirited and educational exchange of views about
what characters *are* in an age of Unicode (actual educational content
thanks to Tom Lord and Ray Dillinger); a discussion of what it would
mean to embed comments into s-expressions; and some discussion of the
CLTL2-style first-class environments that Franz is working on for
their 7.0 product (thanks to Duanne Rettig who was there to explain.)
Then I got some free advice about how to explain the True Way of the
List in my book. Which I'm still digesting. At any rate, a good time
was had by all.
As usual, if there are any Bay Area Lispniks out there who are not yet
on the mailing list where we organize these meetings, drop me an email
and I'll add you.

How about posting something to the newsgroup once in a while.

Like what? Sincere question: I believe you were quoting from my
summary of our last meeting. More of that? Something else? I don't
want to clutter this group with the actual details of picking the time
and place which tends to be fairly boring.

Depending on how frequent the meetings are, maybe it would be nice to
post in advance of the happening, when and where the next one is going
to be. If it's every week, that could be annoying, but if it's
monthly or less often, I think it should be fine.
