Scheme and Functional Programming 2009

Coordinated with the Symposium in honor of Mitchell Wand

Boston, Massachusetts

The purpose of the workshop is to report experience with the Scheme family of programming languages, to foster collaboration among the members of the community, and to present research related to Scheme and functional programming.

T-Shirt

To remind you of your heady time at the Scheme Workshop 2009, a t-shirt is now available from cafepress.com.

It appears to me (having now purchased one of them) that I (John Clements) don't actually earn any money from the sale of these t-shirts. Ah well.
