Announcement: first meeting of the London Haskell User Group

April 26, 2007 on 9:21 pm | By Neil | In |

We are delighted to announce that the first meeting of the London Haskell User Group will take place on 23rd May 2007, at City University in central London. We would like to extend an invitation to anybody who is either already using Haskell or merely interested in learning more about it to come along.

Simon Peyton Jones will be joining us to give a talk. Simon is one of the original architects of Haskell, and continues to make significant contributions to it, including his work as the lead designer of GHC, the fastest and most advanced compiler for Haskell. He has also done very important work on new abstractions for concurrency such as Software Transaction Memory and Nested Data Parallelism.

The meeting will take place from 6:30 PM in the College Building at City University in London. See the venue page for detailed location information and directions.

If you would like to attend, please register your interest either by leaving a comment on this page, or by emailing info@londonhug.net.

Many thanks to City University and Simon Peyton Jones for their support!

Date and Time: Wednesday 23rd May, from 18:30
Location: City University, College Building, room A246
Register: info@londonhug.net

UPDATE: Please note there has been a room change, due to more people registering than expected. See the updated venue page for details.

  12. This sounds interesting. Is there any chance of getting some more details before the event (e.g. subject of talks etc.)? I could possibly attend, but at an expense, so I’d like more information to base my decision on.

  15. Neil,

    May I suggest that at some point during the meeting we get everyone to introduce themselves and give a quick precis on what they are working on (in Haskell and related areas)?

    Dominic.

  16. Dominic,

    That’s a good idea.

    I will be sending an update shortly with some details about Simon’s planned talk, and a suggested agenda for the rest of the meeting.
