Dear Colleague,

  Action items:

  1. PLEASE CONFIRM PARTICIPATION. I need a head-count to arrange for
     food. Since this is the first such event, it's impossible to
     estimate how many people will attend.

  2. We welcome speaker suggestions. Recommend a friend, or volunteer
     yourself. Martin Rinard and I will make the program.

The first New England Programming Languages and Systems Symposium will
take place on Thursday, December 7, 2000. My apologies to those who
said they can't attend that day; surprisingly enough, many more
couldn't attend the week prior.

The event's Web page

  http://www.nepls.org/

will eventually provide directions and parking information. If you
want to see other information listed there, let me know.

Talks can vary in duration. Speakers can choose slots of 30, 45 or 60
minutes; we'll even consider proposals for 15 minute blurbs. This
variety permits the presentation of smaller results, preliminary work,
progress reports on ongoing projects (such as language standards and
compiler toolkits), and updates to past presentations. Students who
aren't yet comfortable giving hour-long talks can use the smaller
slots to garner feedback.

Please forward this note to interested colleagues. I look forward to
meeting you at the symposium.

Shriram
