In case you haven't heard of Google's Summer of Code, they're offering
to sponsor 200 Open Source projects for $5000.00 each.  Mentoring
Organizations put up ideas and students offer to do them, the two get
together and off they go.

Assuming that the project goes well,the student picks up $4500.00, the
mentor $500 and a summers worth of headway has been made on another
great project.

Your very own LispNYC is a mentoring organization, so you're free to
apply to work on one of our projects here:

Additionally, the Tuesday June 14th meeting will be the first
installment of the "LispNYC: Best Presentations" Anton van Straaten
re-presents "Lisp and the Lambda Calculus":

    This talk takes a wild ride through the history of human
    thought about logic and computation, through the invention
    of lambda calculus and the invention of Lisp, the discovery
    of the funarg problem, its ultimate solution in the lambda
    calculus, and the adoption of that solution by Lisp and
    Scheme.  Along the way, the lambda calculus will be
    explained and interactively demonstrated, in breathtaking
    clarity, using real code, showing the foundations of the
    basic logical constructs for which Lisp is famous.

Anton was recently appointed to Scheme Editors Committee.
