[MLton-devel] MLton meeting Friday May 23

[Stephen Weeks]

Hi all.  I want to remind everyone of the upcoming MLton meeting.

We will meet at 10:00AM at 1840 Oak Ave., Evanston, IL, room 100.
Notice that this is on a short section of Oak Ave. that is separated
from the rest of Oak, as seen on the following map.

The meeting will run all day, until we get tired :-).  Henry knows of
a good middle-eastern place that we can order out to for lunch.

The room will have an overhead projector and screen, a medium-sized
white-board, and a computer and powerpoint projector.

Matthias, Dave, and John, we've thought a little bit on the things
we'd like to talk about and hear about.  The list below collects our
thoughts, and is grouped by speaker.  If you have anything you'd like
to add, either to your own list or someone else's please send me mail.
I'll collect everything and send out a list in a week or so.  Don't
feel obligated to give a conference-style talk; you're welcome to just
kibitz.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone!
