Hi all,

Thanks to the nice folks at Twitter, we have a home for our next Bay
FP meeting on Wednesday March 12th @
7:30pm.  Jake Donham will be speaking about Twelf:

"""
Twelf is a proof assistant and programming language based on typed
logic programming.

It is full of interesting and beautiful ideas. I'm going to use Twelf
as a jumping-off point to
talk about some of those ideas: judgments and inference rules; proof
search and logic
programming; proofs as programs; dependent types; higher-order
abstract syntax. I won't
go too deep into the technicalities of Twelf but I'll try to explain
why Twelf is interesting in
comparison with other proof assistants like Coq.
"""

 164 South Park St
 San Francisco, CA 94107
"""It's a building with a dark green door.  People can just come on in
and walk to their right to a large conference room."""

Based on the suggestion of Dave Pollak (among others), we're going to
try to do a couple of lightning talks before Jake gets started. These
talks will be _very_ *strictly* limited to 5 minutes, but are a great
way to get a quick introduction to new topics (for the listeners) and
a great way to get your blood pumping (for the speakers). If you're
interested in giving a lighting talk next week (you only have to
prepare 0-4 slides!), please send me a direct email with your topic
ASAP.


Keith
