GHC steering committee lunch at ICFP?

Hi all, I imagine many of us are currently en route to St. Louis for this year's week of λ. I thought it might be nice for us steering committee members to gather, perhaps over lunch. My goal in organizing this is twofold: - Simply to gather. I enjoy working with you all and it's great to continue building social connections. - To figure out some concrete direction about the Linear Types proposal. As its shepherd, I feel responsible for moving it along and -- while there remains a slow drip of questions/answers/opinions on the ticket -- I don't sense that we're getting toward any concrete action that we can share with the authors of the proposal. I recognize that not all members of the committee will be at ICFP. Accordingly, I hope we can find a volunteer to take minutes to share with those not present. No concrete action will be committed to without posting here for discussion first. In addition, I'm sure we can find a way for folks to join the meeting remotely, if the timing works. I arbitrarily propose Monday lunch for this meeting. Feel free to counterpropose. See you soon, Richard

Hi,
I think that's a good idea. Monday lunch works for me.

PS:
I just made it to St Louis, if anyone is interested in grabbing a beer and
some food later today, drop me a message.

Good idea. It sounds as if everyone else can make Monday lunch, but sadly I can't. Nor Tues. Do go ahead without me - I may try to rearrange my commitment

OK -- I will try to reserve a table in a corner of the lunch area. (More information tomorrow once I can actually see the lunch area.) Note that we have only an hour until the first session after lunch. Any updates (e.g., specific location if it's hard to find) will appear here. If you are not at ICFP but would like to join remotely, email me and we'll figure out a way. This meeting will take place at 1700-1800 GMT on Monday. See many of you tomorrow, Richard

I've learned there is no proper lunch room. However, on the east side of the building is some space we may be able to use. (This is to the right as you exit the auditorium or to the left as you enter the building.) Let's find each other there (down a small flight of stairs). Thanks, Richard

I realized that I am not registered for today so I may need to run out to pick up some lunch from outside the venue then find you all. Cheers, - Ben

I will be a little late too, left my badge with my lunch ticket at the
hotel :(

There's a space with a few chairs on the first floor next to the restroom.
Is this what you meant? I am in there anyway :)
