No need to apologize. There's a need for informal meetings as much (or even more) as there is for courses and conferences. > Perhaps a monthly informal gathering similarly (self-)organised to Dorkbot > but focussed on Haskell (and other functional languages) is what I'm really > after, but that still requires some organisation time and a venue, neither > of which necessarily come cheap :( There are several informal meetings on Haskell happening throughout the world. I'm personally not living in the London area, but I regularly attend the Munich Haskell meeting (http://www.haskell-munich.de/). Regarding London, I know there's the Haskell Hoodlums meetup (http://www.meetup.com/hoodlums/), and I think there is or was a Haskell User Group as well, but it's currently listed as "not active" on http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/User_groups. Perhaps there's a chance to bring it back to life?
