• The 6th European Lisp Workshop will take place on July 6th 2009, in Genova, Italy.

  Edi Weitz will give a keynote address on the use of his notorious open source libraries in commercial / industrial application. The workshop will also feature technical papers on tools to interface modelling in biology, an infrastructure for offline work in web applications and a denotational semantics for modelling the class relationships of CLOS and its MOP. There will also be tutorials on filtered dispatch and SWCLOS, a semantic web processor.

• The ALU is pleased to announce the restoration of http://wiki.alu.org. The board would like to thank Drew Crampsie and the Tech Co-op for hosting the new site.

  Unfortunately, the ALU was unable to access the old server; therefore the wiki had to be reconstructed from third-party caches. As a result, many pages could not be fully recovered. If you used the old wiki, please take a few minutes to check and fix the contents of the new wiki.
