Hello!

Thanks to everyone who attended the kickoff meeting for this group.  It was a really good turn out and looks like there are a lot of folks excited about learning some Haskell.  We have decided at this point to meet on a bi-weekly basis Mondays at 6:30pm.  We also have a new venue which has been secured at the OTBC offices thanks to Phil for the referral on that one.  We have also decided that we will be going through the online tutorial Write You a Scheme 2.0 as our first project.  Each person will choose resources on their own to learn Haskell and we will come together as a group in each meeting to talk about our progress on building a scheme interpreter and our understanding of the code presented.  Most likely we will also do some Haskell exercises as a group to help solidify new concepts.

To prepare for the next meetup go through the introduction and if you have time, the next section on parsers as well.  We'll try to cover as much ground as we have time available.

We also have a Slack channel that you can join by clicking the link that was sent out on the mailing list.  If you need an invite link let me know and I'll get you connected.
