Upcoming Events
12 November 2010:
2010 Erlang User Conference (Stockholm, Sweden)
The Erlang User Conference is the biggest and the oldest Erlang gathering in the world. The conference brings together delegates from as far afield as the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand and in that way has highlighted strengthening interest in Erlang, not only in its 'birthplace'. At the conference delegates have the opportunity to meet the fathers of Erlang, ask them questions and listen to 14 talks.
The 2010 Erlang User Conference will take place on Tuesday, 16th November in the Astoria cinema, close to Stureplan. Apart from the conference, on Monday 15th November there will be ProTest Tutorials taking place and we are also planning the 3-day Erlang training courses to take place on 17th, 18th and 19th November.
Last year over 250 delegates attended the Erlang User Conference - join us for the biggest Erlang gathering in the world!

Building a Scalable E-commerce Framework and Erlang for Embedded Devices (Stockholm, Sweden)
Our next Stockholm Erlang User Group Meeting will take place on Wednesday, 26th May. This will be a special meeting with two talks. The first talk will be on Building a Scalable E-commerce Framework and the speaker will be Michael Nordström. The second talk will be on Erlang for Embedded Devices and the speakers will be Gustav Simonsson, Henrik Nord, Fredrik Andersson, Niclas Axelsson, Fabian Bergström.
The meeting will start at 18:00 in Klarna offices - Norra Stationsgatan 61; 113 43 Stockholm.
In order to attend this free event, you have to register. Registering allows us to plan refreshments accordingly, provide security with a list of names and ensure we have enough space. The places are limited so if you want to attend this meeting register asap.
Building a Scalable E-commerce Framework Abstract:
Each year the University of Uppsala gives a project course for computer science students. The project specification is given by an industrial partner, in our case the company was Klarna.
During the period of four months we were to developed a scalable e-commerce framework using Linux, Erlang, Nitrogen and Riak. (The LENR "leaner" stack.) We were a group of 9 students with no experience in project management and no prior knowledge about Erlang.
We will talk about our experiences with Erlang and how they compare to those of other languages, why making an e-commerce framework in Erlang is a good idea, and how you can get scalability almost for free. We will also talk a little bit about our experiences with Nitrogen and Riak.
Erlang for Embedded Devices Abstract
The Embedded Erlang Project at Erlang Solutions currently includes three different, but related, master theses. The first thesis aims to strip down Erlang/OTP to a minimal release with a small memory footprint. This will run on the results of the second thesis; a Linux-based platform tailored for running Erlang on embedded devices. The third thesis explores models of mobile data-oriented networks for use in embedded devices, including Erlang-based implementations. The presentation will consist of a brief summary, the goals and the current progress of each thesis, as well as some brief discussion on how they can all come together as a deployable package.

Joe Armstrong at Stockholm Erlang User Group Meeting! (Stockholm, Sweden)
Call for the next Stockholm Erlang User Group Meeting.
Time: Thursday, December 10, 18:00
Place: Tail-f Stockholm headquarters
Speaker:
- Joe Armstrong, Ericsson AB: elib2 - an Erlang library
We will round off the evening with an ErLounge at some nearby pub.
Details about the ErLounge can be further discussed on the EUG Stockholm mailing list.
Advance registration is required.
See you there.
Abstract:
Elib2 is an Erlang library and a number of complete programs that make use of the library.
The talk discusses:
- the philosophy behind the library
- what's in the library
- my plans for the library
I'll also show some of the programs that I have built using the library, with special attention to a full-text indexing application.
Elib1 is a library of Erlang modules and set of applications which use
the modules.
The Elib1 project now moves into phase 2
The phases of the project are:
Phase 1: Define and implement a basic structure
and a small number of applications
Phase 2: Make project open source
Phase 3: Write books
Each phase will take about 2-3 years.
The first attempt at a library contains modules for the following:
xml parsing
fast tuple I/O (to disk)
full-text indexing
http parsing
telnet server
json parsing
porter stemming
mysql native interface
sha1
similar file locator
screen manipulation
miscellaneous missing functions (which should be in the standard libraries)
accurate tagging of Erlang so it can be turned into browsable HTML
(and more ...)
The applications are divided it two areas. Supported and unsupported
In supported:
indexer - a full text indexing engine (this is the of near
production quality)
irc - and irc kit (includes a TCL wish interface)
(somewhat incomplete)
tagger - an application to turn erlang into browsable HTML
drivers - example linked in and port drivers (currently broken)
midi_drivers - mac os X only
website - a webserver (used internally)
versions - a way of munging module names to make them secure
In unsupported:
epeg - a peg grammar and parser combinators
folding - Javascript folding editor/organiser (needs some work,
not erlang :-)
jpeg - image transformation in Erlang
xml - some xml stuff
I have attempted to use "best practise" in making the library. Using the dialyzer, eunit and edoc.
This code is far from perfect or polished - but the basic way things
fit together is defined.
Rather than have 500 small libraries each with a few users and a few
routines I'd like to see one library with a much large number of tightly integrated routines.
The code is available at: http://github.com/joearms/elib1

Robert Virding on Lisp Flavoured Erlang, (Stockholm User Group Talk, Sweden)
The second meeting of the Stockholm Erlang User Group is hosted by Stockholm University. Robert Virding, one of the original inventors of Erlang will present his latest open source project, Lisp Flavored Erlang. The presentation will start at 18.30 (doors open at 18.00) at the "Avdelningen for IT och media", Frescati Hagväg 10. If you are interested in attending this free event, you have to register register here... By registering, you will enable us to plan room size and refreshments accordingly, provide Security with the name list of participants, and in those extreme cases where the number of places are limited, close registration as soon as we have reached the maximum room capacity or find a larger room.
Abstract:In this talk we will describe and demonstrate Lisp Flavored Erlang (LFE). LFE allows you to write Erlang code in a lisp syntax and combines the versatility and extensibility of lisp with the COP power of Erlang. LFE is completely integrated with Erlang/OTP and code written in LFE can freely be used together with modules written in vanilla Erlang and applications in Erlang/OTP. LFE is also much easier to use than vanilla Erlang when generating code. We will describe the system, its tools and its implementation, and also demonstrate some of its features and using its programming environment.
Biography:Robert Virding is one of the original developers of Erlang at the Ericsson Computer Science Lab. While there he also did work on garbage collection and the implementation of high-level languages. He left Ericsson to found Bluetail, the first Erlang startup acquired by Nortel in 2000. He now works for the Swedish Defense Material Administration (FMV) where he is not able to use Erlang. He does, however, still program Erlang in his spare time and take part in the Erlang community.

Type-based tools for sustainable development of Erlang programs (Stockholm, Sweden)
We kick off the first Stockholm Erlang User Group meetig with a talk by Prof. Kostis Sagonas about the ongoing research of the HIPE team from Uppsala University. The presentation will start at 18.30 in Kreditor's new offices on S:t Eriksgatan 117 in Stockholm. The doors will be open from 18.00 onwards.

Type-based tools for sustainable development of Erlang programs
Abstract:In this talk/demo combination we will review how three different type-based tools can be used to detect bugs in Erlang programs, document data structures and application interfaces, (in)validate hidden programming assumptions, and retrofit Erlang applications. In the process, we will also discuss the associated Erlang Enhancement Proposal (EEP8) which aims to add a type and specification language on top of Erlang. Two of the tools that will be reviewed (dialyzer & typer) are already part of the Erlang distribution. The third is yet to be named but is slowly maturing nonetheless.
Biography:Kostis Sagonas is a travelling scientist interested in programming languages and software development. He an Associate Professor at the National Technical University of Athens, where the students occasionally allow him to work. He is also a Docent at Uppsala University leading the HiPE group where he has occasionally managed to convince its members to do what he thinks it's best for the project and for Erlang. In the last two years he has been obsessed with enriching Erlang with success (typings, that is) and contracts.
