Dear All, The results of the doodle are in, and the result is that the first meeting of the Ghent Functional Programming Group will be held on April 1, 2010 at 7pm in meeting room "Shannon" in the Technicum building (Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 41, 9000 Gent) of Ghent University. The automatic doors will be closed at this time, but we will attach a notice with the telephone number of the meeting room at the front door in the outer left of the building, so you can call us to let you in. We would like to ask anyone even remotely considering to participate to fill in the following Google form: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dEtsR2ZIdVhqeVdRNkx6bmxCdF9L... Filling in this form does not commit you to anything, but merely serves as an indication of the number of participants for our sake. We will also only be sending follow-up mails with the final program etc. to the persons that have registered. If you do not intend to come to this first meeting, but wish to be updated on our activities, you can follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/ghentfpg or you can sign-up for our Google group: http://groups.google.com/group/ghent-fpg Our current program already contains one talk by Tom Schrijvers entitled "Functional Pearl: The Monad Zipper", with the following abstract: "This pearl aims to demonstrate the application of Huet's zipper to the monad stack for the development of highly modular programs." Anyone willing to give a talk on a subject that fits the scope can e-mail us with a proposed topic, no matter what experience level you have, or no matter how short or long the talk will be. Kind Regards, Bart Coppens Jeroen Janssen
