Hi Damian,
I work for LumiGuide and we're based in Nijmegen (60km from
Eindhoven). We've been using Haskell in production for over two years
now. See my recent Google TechTalk on our use of functional
programming to power our bicycle detection and guidance systems that
we deploy all over the Netherlands:

I would be willing to give a talk on LumiGuide or any of the
functional programming techniques that we're using (Haskell, Nix,
GHCJS, haskell-opencv).
Cheers,
Bas

Hi,
I'm planning on organizing a Meetup group about Functional Programming in Eindhoven, for next year. Currently there is very few people doing that in this area (according to the few jobs available here), and I would like to promote it. Next to that I would like to advertise Haskell, but I wanted to start with a more broader scope. My current employer is willing to sponsor this, and hence I was looking which speakers could be possible to bring for the big opening event.
My first question is which speakers you know in the FP world that can clearly convey the ideas on "why functional programming matter for your company". The idea is to try to spark the interest of the different stakeholders in this city (and region).
Second, I've seen some material here and there on FP propaganda, but I would like to know which ones are you favorites.
Thanks a lot in advance, Damian. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list To (un)subscribe, modify options or view archives go to: http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe Only members subscribed via the mailman list are allowed to post.
