Since we've been talking about the future of Scheme a lot recently, the
following announcement may be of interest to many of you. This
announcement doesn't say it, but the theme of this Conference is the futue
of Lisp -- the first paragraph on the web-site says:
Lisp has been supporting the world's most complex applications since it
was created, 50 years ago. Where will Lisp go in the next 50 years?
What's unique about it? How can we join together to make it more widely
used? How can we strengthen the Lisp open-source community?
