       Greetings! Earlier this year I started working on a new conference
to bring together commercial functional programmers from a variety of
language communities. I didn't want just a conference of sitting and
listening, but rather a conference with significant amounts of hands-on
working and learning as well. Lambda
Jam<http://thestrangeloop.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4ccbe96ef9652a4cdb703b069&id=e079481b57&e=4dc99684e1>is
the result of these ideas.

As I began talking about this conference, I discovered that Dave
Thomas<http://thestrangeloop.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4ccbe96ef9652a4cdb703b069&id=973908df14&e=4dc99684e1>(well
known for his work with the YOW!, JAOO, and GOTO conferences) was
also interested in developing this idea for locations outside the US. Dave
and I have joined forces and have two events confirmed and under way for
2013 (and one more possibly in the works). We are both really excited to be
making this idea a reality!

 Lambda Jam - Brisbane, Australia Dave Thomas is coordinating YOW! Lambda
Jam Australia. This event will take place May 15-17, 2013 in Brisbane. More
details will be coming in the near future. May 15th will be workshops with
the conference on May 16th-17th.

 Lambda Jam - Chicago, Illinois I am coordinating the first Lambda Jam in
the US. It will take place July 8-10 at the InterContinental
Hotel<http://thestrangeloop.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=4ccbe96ef9652a4cdb703b069&id=89c31e839e&e=4dc99684e1>in
Chicago, IL. Planning is in the early stages but the first confirmed
keynote speaker is *Joe Armstrong*, creator of Erlang. Each day of the
conference will consist of multi-track sessions in the morning, workshops
and "jams" in the afternoon, and a keynote at the end of day.

Stay tuned! We hoped to have lots more to say in the new year. Follow us on
