NW Functional Programming Interest Group
Hi Greg, Not sure if you're aware but there is already a functional programming interest group in Seattle, SeaFunc. We have been meeting approximately every 4 weeks since 2004. For the sake of people deciding which group to follow, could you explain the differences of your scope? (We also discuss Haskell, OCaml, and Scala, among other things.) http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/SeaFunc/ Our regularly scheduled meeting is also tomorrow, April 16 (later at 8pm) at Ralph's Grocery downtown. Check the list for details. Jeff Henrikson

All,
Apologies for multiple listings.
It's that time again. Our growing cadre of functionally-minded north westerners is meeting at the
The Seattle Public Library 1000 - 4th Ave. Seattle, WA 98104
from 18:30 - 20:00 on April 16th.
This meeting's agenda is a little more fluid, but...
- i would like to talk about a proposal i'm mulling over around a much more general account of the Curry-Howard isomorphism by way of iterated distributive laws for monads - we also need to get a couple more people on the hook to give a talk
Hope to see you there.
Monadically yours,
--greg

I've added it to the events section on: http://haskell.org/ You can keep the SeaFunc entry up to date by editing: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Events (I already do this for PDXFunc). -- Don
Jeff, Don, Hey, thanks for the inquiries. There's so much interest in FP in the Pacific Northwest that having two groups is going to be a good thing. Also, we're trying to be make the NWFPIG a bit more formal with formal presentations and "high profile" speakers coming in to give invited talks. i'm working on filling that pipeline these days. Please correct me if i'm wrong, but Seafunc is more of an informal gathering. i think these two venues work well together and hope to see some fruitful interaction. Best wishes, --greg On Wed, Apr 16, 2008 at 9:49 AM, Don Stewart <dons@galois.com> wrote:
