Hi Nick,

I just included you on an email to some likely ALU website contacts. We'll see how they respond.

Regarding the ILC content, I found backups containing a most if not all materials for ILC 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, and 2011. I should also have the contents for 2012 squirreled away somewhere.


Here's a reasonable archive of the 2012 site.

https://web.archive.org/web/20141120174250/http://international-lisp-conference.org/2012/index.html


For ILC 2014, the conference website was hosted on a different server, and the ALU site just had a link / redirect. I don't believe we ever got a copy of the 2014 site on the ALU server. Fortunately, the original site is still available.

Thanks for the update. 

I wanted to access ILC content. Any chance of getting that up and running again?

      Hi Nick,
 
The ALU still exists, and I am still a board member, although not an officer. 
Rusty is continuing to keep the offiicial Corporation documents up to date with 
the state of Virginia, etc. 

The CLF had offered several months ago to provide hosting services for the ALU 
web properties (at reasonable out-of-pocket cost), but the ALU has yet to 
follow up with a specific green light to do that or content to host. 

Robert Smith, current official ALU president, had to cancel the last several 
scheduled monthly ALU meetings due to a busy travel schedule (a couple times he 
was on airplanes at the time of the meetings).  Last week, he had to
cancel our meeting again, and also sent a note inviting someone else to take 
over the role of president.  He didn't officially resign, but acknowledged the 
fact that his several attempts to get the ball rolling on the next ILC
have not gotten much traction.  If you'd like, I can ask Robert to forward that 
note to this list. 

So that's what I know right now.  

So far I haven't seen any responses to his email on the ALU lists (which I 
think are manually maintained as CC lists right now).   I'm not sure what the 
next steps should be or by whom, but at least I wanted to pass on the
small amount of news which I know. 

Regards,

 Dave

      Writing to who @alu.org?

      Is anyone from the ALU listening? Does it still exist?
