[PL-sem-jr] PLJR planning meeting - Spring 2008

[turon at ccs.neu.edu]

The Spring semester is about to begin, so it's time to get PL Seminar Jr. rolling again. Several people are going to be away this week at POPL, so I propose that we hold the planning meeting on Thursday, Jan 17, at 1:30. (Room TBD). Please let me know if this date/time doesn't work with your schedule, and we'll try to reschedule. 

The purpose of the planning meeting is twofold: to set a standard time for the seminar this Spring, and to put together a roster of talks. As usual, the wiki available at 

https://wiki.ccs.neu.edu/display/GRADWIKI/PlSeminarJr 

has plenty of suggestions for topics. We also had some postponed talks last semester that could be revived for the Spring. Talks should not be limited to current research: the seminar is in part intended to give junior students a venue for talking about topics we are studying, including those that are old-hat to some of the PRL. In that spirit, let me recommend Pierce's Great Works in PL page for some classics:

Signing up for a PLJR talk is a great way to force yourself to get familiar with a body of work, so please come to the meeting with some ideas about what *you* would like to learn this semester. 

Cheers, 
Aaron
