User Group in Germany

Post by k-stz » Sun Mar 08, 2015 12:38 pm

Hello Lispforum users,

I was looking for a user group or even conferences in germany, preferably in the vincinity Stuttgart.
If someone knows anything going on in germany that would be awesome. ;)

This is what inspired me to look for one, maybe you also like what you see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft7KMy18IRI

I have about a solid year of experience with Common Lisp and mild exposure to Scheme through SICP, and am very keen to
learn more about (Common) Lisp.

best regards,

Keist Zenon

Hello Keist,

seems there is not that much Lispiness in Germany. Anyhow there is one resourece on http://www.iqool.de/ founded by Patrick Krusenotto to publicize Lisp. Perhaps you already know it.

best regards

Thank you quentin, this resource was new to me. I think the author may have rightly remarked that even when lispers
live in germany, and know the language, they will still write about Lisp in english. As do I without giving it a second
thought.

Indeed I have been looking around and asking online, but to no avail.
The only thing germany related I could find was this recording of the berlin meetup: https://youtu.be/g0Pxj5FUHKk
Somebody on the #lisp freenode irc pointed out that these meetups don't take place no more due to the lack of organizers.

A solution may be to visit a tangential, programming related, user group.

cheers,

Keist Zenon

Hi Keist,

I'm from the Mannheim area and I can empathize with you.

http://planet.lisp.org/meetings/ shows a lisp user group in Hamburg. But, yeah. It is in Hamburg. Further there are two user groups in our greater area (unfortunately a much greater area for you than for me). There is the Clojure User Group Rhein-Neckar and the The Karlsruhe Functional Programmers Group. Both are certainly good groups with interesting people and talks, but are unfortunately not Common Lisp centered.

Perhaps we should meet halfway and establish the Common Lisp User Group Bruchsal or something :D
