"No talks. One paper per month, no obligation to read it."

This month's paper is Profiler: Integrated Statistical Analysis and Visualization for Data Quality Assessment by Kandel et al. Read it or don't - the goal is just to have something to start conversations. "Did you read the paper?" will do nicely.

Mention @PDXBigData on Twitter with the link to the full paper to suggest papers for future sessions.

This event has been canceled.

David Christiansen (a major Idris committer) is going to be in town for a bit - thought we'd have some folks into programming in dependently-typed languages (e.g. Idris, Agda, Coq) get together while he's here. David will present on the horror, I mean, the wonder, of type providers.

It's been too long since we had folks over. And I swear, we somehow accumulated too much beer. ;) So we're having a drink night tomorrow (Thursday) from 6-8 pm. Come by, help us with our drink(ing) problem, and see some faces old and new.

Cheers!

Amy, Mark, Rachel, and Jacob.

The Zissou Society for Programming Language Exploration (aka pdxlang) is a general programming language discussion/exploration group. The weird, the offbeat, the little-known, the forgotten programming languages. These are the things we discuss and explore.

We've got two talks lined up this time, and we probably will have one more added. (If you want to talk, drop a note to the list or Matt.)

Featured languages of the evening include Nickle and REBOL.

There will be pizza and beer, if that helps you clear your calendar.

Inaugural meeting!

The Zissou Society for Programming Language Exploration (aka pdxlang) is a general programming language discussion/exploration group. The weird, the offbeat, the little-known, the forgotten programming languages. These are the things we'll be discussing.

We have three talks lined up:

• Bart Massey will show us Inform 7.
• Joe Groff is going to present on Factor.
• Markus Roberts will give a talk on ... something. We're still working that out. If you've seen Markus present before, you know it's probably more fun that way.

Rumor has it that there will be pizza and beer.
