29 September 2010: ICFP 2010 (Baltimore, USA)

The 15th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming will take place in Baltimore, Maryland, from 27 to 29 September 2010.

ICFP 2010 provides a forum for researchers and developers to hear about the latest work on the design, implementations, principles, and uses of functional programming. The conference covers the entire spectrum of work, from practice to theory, including its peripheries.

Erlang Solutions will be present at the ICFP 2010 as well as at the Erlang workshop and CUFP 2010 which will take place just after the conference. Meet us there!

30 September 2010: 9th ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop (Baltimore, USA)

9th ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop will be held in Baltimore, Maryland, on 30th September 2010. It will be co-located with ICFP 2010.

The workshop will bring together the open source, academic, and industrial programming communities of Erlang. It will enable participants to familiarize themselves with recent developments on new techniques and tools tailored to Erlang, novel applications, draw lessons from users' experiences and identify research problems and common areas relevant to the practice of Erlang and functional programming.

If you are curious about how the 8th ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop looked like, the presentation slides and more information can be found here.

Erlang Solutions will be present at the ACM-SIGPLAN, as well as at CUFP 2010 and ICFP2010. Meet us there!

01 October 2010: Commercial Users of Functional Programming 2010 (Baltimore, USA)

Commercial Users of Functional Programming 2010 (CUFP) will take place in Baltimore, Maryland *probably on 1st October 2010. The event will be co-located with ICFP 2010.

The goal of CUFP is to build a community for users of functional programming languages and technology, be they using functional languages in their professional lives, in an open source project (other than implementation of functional languages), as a hobby, or any combination thereof.

CUFP aims to help functional programming become increasingly viable as a technology for use in the commercial, industrial, and government space, by providing a forum for FP professionals to share their experiences and ideas, whether business, management, or engineering. It also aims to enable the formation and cementing of relationships and alliances that further the use of functional languages. Providing user feedback to language designers and implementers is not a primary goal of the workshop, though it will be welcome if it occurs.

Erlang Solutions will be present at CUFP 2010, as well as at the ACM-SIGPLAN and ICFP2010. Meet us there!

* The dates will be confirmed soon.

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!
