I’m happy to report that the ”Jobs in Functional Programming” event to be held at Chalmers this Friday looks like being a big success. We have seven companies involved, and five speakers—and almost 70 people registered BEFORE we put up posters around the campus, including some people who are travelling from other countries just for this event.

If you’re recruiting functional programmers, and you HAVEN’T got in touch with me yet, then there is still time—although I can’t accept any more speakers now. But if you would like to send recruitment materials, then I will be only too happy to ensure that participants receive a copy. Just don’t ask me to print your materials for you: there won’t be time for that. If you would like to send such materials, then courier them to me at

Department of Computer Science and Engineering

Chalmers University of Technology

They need to arrive by Friday morning at the latest. Let me know by email to expect them.

It’s delightful to find that there are both job-seekers and employers enough to make this kind of event a success!
