Earlier today I received an email with an announcement by Fabio Natali of an event coming up in Hamburg. I thought it would be interesting to my fellow Clojurians on this site so here’s a copy for you:
Dear All,
tl;dr: This is to let you know that I’ve registered a Lisp assembly at 38c3. I’m currently reaching out to various Lisp-related communities to see if anyone is also attending 38c3 and might be interested in joining the assembly.
More context:
38c3 is the 38th edition of the Chaos Communication Congress or CCC, the annual hacker conference happening in Hamburg, Germany from 27th to 30th December. Roughly speaking, a Congress assembly is a space that’s made available for a self-organised group, to collaborate, organise workshops, talks, etc. around a specific project or area of interest.
The 38c3 Lisp assembly is meant as a meeting point for Lisp aficionados of all levels as well as for the passer-by who’s curious and wants to know more. I hope this will attract friends from a variety of Lisp dialects (e.g. Chicken, Clojure, Common Lisp, Emacs Lisp, Fennel, Guile, Racket) and Lisp-based projects (e.g. Emacs and Guix).
I’d like to prepare a small number of activities, such as:
- micro talks,
- pair-programming sessions,
- bug-reporting/bug-fixing/patch-review sessions.
No code-of-conduct has been chosen yet but there’ll be one (which can be chosen collaboratively if you like, possibly taken from or inspired by one particular Lisp project’s CoC).
As I’m only familiar with a small fraction of Lisp languages and projects, I’d love to hear from any fellow Lisp-minded hacker who’s also planning to be at 38c3, to join forces and plan things together.
If you’re interested or have any question, reply to this email (make sure to CC me please) or reach out to me via the Fediverse (@fnat@social.coop) or IRC (fnat at libera.chat).
Have a lovely day, cheers,
Fabio.
