Subject: European Lisp & Scheme Workshop
Here are some news with regard to the 2nd European Lisp and Scheme
Workshop in Glasgow, Scotland on July 26, 2005.
- Richard Gabriel (http://www.dreamsongs.com) has agreed to give a
keynote talk at the workshop. Title and abstract will be announced at
the workshop website soon.
- The early registration deadline for ECOOP 2005 is June 13, 2005.
Before that date, the fees for participating at the workshop should be
considerably lower. However, the fee structure hasn't been announced
yet. This will (hopefully) happen during the next few days at
http://2005.ecoop.org/fees.html
Please watch the workshop website at http://lisp-ecoop05.bknr.net during
the next one or two weeks for more updates.

Subject: Scheme Web Server Tutorial
I've finally had a chance to improve my Scheme Web Server Tutorial
enough to permanently put it online- I mentioned it here before last
fall.
http://www.lisperati.com
It gives every single linux/scheme/java command you need to run to end
up with a functioning, if very simplistic, Scheme web server.
The tutorial is called:
"The Quick And Dirty Guide For Building, Programming, and Hosting Your
Own Debian Linux, Tomcat, and SISC Scheme Web Server in 30 Minutes and
for 30 Dollars Without a Headache"

This announces that
Scheme Request for Implementation 65
"DEFINE-IMMUTABLE: A Syntax to Define Identifiers With Immutable Values"

Subject: Scheme needs you ! (Letter of support needed for PLT project to
Reply-To: Caligula <rambam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Taken from the Lambda site.
PLT Needs You! [...]
So, if you have used DrScheme/MzScheme/MrEd/Web Server etc for research or
advanced development and you don't want the project to die, could you
please send a short one-page, signed letter of support to me c/o
Eli Barzilay on some formal looking letter head please? The letter
should state what you do, where you work, and that you have used PLT Scheme
for research and advanced development. If you are so inclined, you can also
add that it is critical and what you have done with it.

The deadline for letters of support is 1 July 2005.

Subject: Simpler Hygienic Macros and Simpler Modules
I am announcing the release of version 0.9 of
"Simpler Hygienic Macros and Simpler Modules"

From: Erick Gallesio <eg_@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: STklos 0.70 Release
This is an announce for the 0.70 release of STklos.
STklos is a free Scheme System (nearly) conform to R5RS. The aim of this
implementation is to be fast as well as light. The implementation is
based on an ad-hoc Virtual Machine. STklos can also be compiled as a
library, so that one can easily embeds it in an application.
Changes in this release:
The main changes in this release are: a new back-trace system, a
conform call/cc/dynamic-wind implementation and some performance
enhancements.
* Documentation updated
* Bug fixes

I've released version 0.32 of the SQLI/SQLD package for
bigloo and mzscheme. The main changes are for mzscheme

provides a logging facility for mzscheme.
Changes in this release:
2005-06-05:
Added log-sync, which syncs the current log.
Had to release the thread-cell stuff, because it caused
problems with multiple threads. Some threads would not
log anymore.

Subject: Reusing XML Processing Code in non-XML Applications
I'd like to introduce an article which might be of some interest:
Reusing XML Processing Code in non-XML Applications
HTML: http://uucode.com/texts/genxml/genxml.html
PDF: http://uucode.com/texts/genxml/genxml.pdf
XML can be considered as a representation of hierarchical
data, and the XML-related standards - as methods of processing
such data. We describe benefits of XML view on legacy data and
its processing, and suggest a method to develop XML tools and
make them reusable for different tree-like structures in
different programming languages.
Our approach is to use virtual machine technology, in
particular, the Scheme programming language. We're taking the
unusual step of using the Scheme syntax itself as a native
virtual machine language. Together with the SXML format and
Scheme implementations tuning, it gives us the XML virtual
machine (XML VM).

Subject: ACM SIGPLAN 2005 Workshop on Scheme and Functional Programming
CALL FOR PAPERS
ACM SIGPLAN 2005 Workshop on Scheme and Functional Programming
http://www.deinprogramm.de/scheme-2005/
Tallinn, Estonia
24 September 2005
Submission Deadline: June 13, 2005, 0:00 UTC
Author notfication: July 29, 2005
Final paper due: August 22, 2005, 0:00 UTC
The 2005 Scheme Workshop provides a forum for discussing experience
with and future development of the Scheme programming language. The
scope of the workshop includes all aspects of the design,
implementation, theory, and application of Scheme. Past workshops have
been held in Snowbird (2004), Boston (2003), Pittsburgh (2002), Florence
(2001), and Montr=E9al (2000). We encourage everyone interested in
Scheme to participate.
