at 590 Madison Avenue on the Island of Manhattan.
This meeting is free and open to the public.
In particular, all members of FUNY, NYLUG, LUNY!, AnyNIX, the Brooklyn
Bunch, and all other Free Software Groups are welcome!
The meeting starts at 6:30 pm and runs until 9:00 pm. Enter the building
on the corner of 57th Street and Madison Avenue and ask at the front desk
for the room number.
At exactly 9:00 pm many members will repair to our traditional place of
refreshment.
Philip Wadler, of the Functional Cabal^W^W^W^Wserious compiler and
categorical hacker, one of the designers of Haskell, the pure, lazy,
functional programming language with monads for input/output, member of
the W3C XML Query working group, late of Glasgow University, now at
Bell Labs of Lucent, will speak at this meeting.

The subject will be XML and Lisp:
<blockquote from="http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/wadler/topics/xml.html";>
The Next 700 Markup Languages
Philip Wadler. Invited Talk, Second Conference on Domain Specific
Languages (DSL'99), Austin, Texas, October 1999.
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a magnet for hype: the successor to
HTML for Web publishing, electronic data interchange, and e-commerce. In
fact, XML is little more than a notation for trees and for tree grammars,
a verbose variant of Lisp S-expressions coupled with a poor man's BNF
(Backus-Naur form). Yet this simple basis has spawned scores of
specialized sublanguages: for airlines, banks, and cell phones; for
astronomy, biology, and chemistry; for the DOD and the IRS.
Domain-specific languages indeed! There is much for the language designer
to contribute here. In particular, as all this is based on a sort of
S-expression, is there a role for a sort of Lisp?

Upcoming Events:
The next LinuxWorld Expo will be held at The Javits Convention Center
1 February through 4 February 2000. All who run any free OS, no matter
what kernel, are welcome. Those who still use a source secret OS in their
business should come to this educational event.

We do not yet know the exact date of the next Refund Day, but it will be
held some time before 2 February 2000. The refund clause of the End User
Licensing Agreement used by most vendors of IBM style peecees is still
not honored by many of the large vendors. This will shortly be
corrected.
