Functional Programming Sydney

  • We are a seminar and social group for people in Sydney, Australia interested in Functional Programming.
  • We're interested in Clean, Erlang, F#, Haskell, LISP, Mercury, Ocaml, Scala, Scheme, and more.
  • We also have a contingent interested in theorem provers such as Coq and Isabelle.

Evening Meetings

  • Meetings are usually held on the fourth Wednesday of each month at ​Atlassian.
  • Anyone who is interested is welcome to come along.
  • Meetings are announced on:

Daytime Workshops

  • A full day event is held on a Saturday once every two months.
  • Anyone who is interested is welcome to come along.
  • We spend about half the time on presentations, and half on hacking and free-form discussion.
    • Doors open 10am, talks begin 10:30am. We'll go to the pub about 5pm.
  • All attendees give at least a 10 minute talk, though we can also schedule longer presentations.
    • Everyone talks. No exceptions.
    • The talk could be about something you're working on, something you've already done, something you learned about, a idea you had, anything.
    • If you don't know what to talk about then read a recent paper from ICFP, Haskell Symposium, Scheme workshop, IFL or a similar event and give a summary. You could also learn about a new library and give a short review. It doesn't need to be mainline functional programming. We also like other areas of computer science.
    • If this is your first time attending then it's fine to just give a short overview of who you are, what you're working on, and what you're interested in. You don't need slides, but it usually helps to show examples of what you've done.
    • RSVP to the thread in the Slack channel with your talk title and expected length. We'll sort out the schedule a few days before, depending on the number of attendees and talk lengths.
  • Dates for 2020 are as follows:
    • Saturday February 1st
    • Saturday April 4th (skipped due to covid shutdown)
      • Easter is on April 10th -- 13th
