Dear all,
I am pleased to announce to you that, on the occasion of BelHac, the first Belgian Haskell Hackathon from 5-7 Nov 2010, the Ghent Functional Programming Group is organizing a symposium on "Functional Programming in Industry", to which you are all cordially invited. These talks will be held on Friday, November 5th at 17:00 in the Jozef Plateauzaal in the Plateau building of Ghent University (Jozef Plateaustraat 22, 9000 Gent). The program is as follows:
