ANN: Lambda Jam - July 8-10 - Chicago

[Alex Miller <alex@puredanger.com>]

Lambda Jam (http://lambdajam.com) is a new conference for commercial functional programmers, specifically languages like Erlang, Clojure, Scala, Haskell, F#, etc. Lambda Jam will take place in Chicago July 8-10 and will feature a new format: sessions in the morning, workshops and "jams" in the afternoon, closing with a keynote. This is a *hands-on* learning conference!

Key items:

* Call for Presentations closes March 29th - http://lambdajam.com/cfp (travel and hotel is covered, see CFP for details). Please send us your talks!

* Program (as it develops) - http://lambdajam.com/sessions

* Sponsorship Prospectus available now - http://lambdajam.com/sponsorship - this is a great way to get your company name in front of 300+ functional programmers!

I am really excited to announce our keynote speakers for Lambda Jam:

* Gerald Sussman - professor at MIT, co-author of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, and co-inventor of Scheme 

* Joe Armstrong - inventor of Erlang

* David Nolen - developer at the New York Times, creator of core.logic port of miniKanren to Clojure, and ClojureScript developer

Registration is not open yet but will be coming soon (probably about $400). If you're interested in tracking developments:

Hope you can make it!
