Re: [ilugd] Functional Programming, Software Defined Radio
In the same vein, talking about SIGs, is anyone interested in functional programming? Could you elaborate on what exactly you mean here, as this could be a fairly topic, and mean different things to different people. Programming in Haskell (for standardisation, wide use, the foreign function interface, libraries, ports, size of binaries, the runtime system, humour, number of active developers and programmers, commercial viability), OCaml (for its efficiency and neatness), Miranda (for it historically being something of a standard, commercial support) etc. Support libraries, algorithms, data structures and projects using these etc. There is also emerging interest in Scala, for example. Functional programmers tend to know several of these languages and some develop their own, domain specific variants. There is a bit of a barrier to entry and the learning curve after can be steep the deeper one delves. Some algorithms and data structures are particularly elegant, cf. Purely Functional Data Structures by Chris Okasaki. Interestingly logic programming programmers and those working in certain kinds of optimisation and parsing also pick up functional programming quickly. I have an emerging interest in Computational Linguistics. How about Software Defined Radio? I have spent a few weeks now on this. [...] Do you have the hardware? Can you do a demo? Either of this would be fun. I also have a robotics kit built around the Arduino that we can play around with. When is a suitable date? There is a workshop in Ghaziabad this Sat. (31st), and I am out of town the weekend after that. Maybe we should combine it with the Sat. workshop. I don't have the hardware yet. I am reading up on this still. I hope to homebrew some and expect this to take a couple of months. There are internet accessible demonstrations, so over the net, someone else's hardware can be borrowed. A Ham license is required for listening to certain frequencies and definitely for transmitting. I am in touch with several Hams in India and there is mild interest in the amateur space. SDR in the commercial space is another story. Please take a look at http://wiki.linux-delhi.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Main/TopicsForFOSSRelatedBOFMeetings where Anupam Jain, Gaurav Mishra, and others had taken an interest in setting up meetings of such SIGs. Unfortunately, nothing much came out of that initiative, but we can always try again. Why not make the meeting virtual? I think participation may be higher if this were to happen. Some web-meeting site, or slides on a web-server and/or skype? Lately, I have attended several webex presentations from all over the world, for work and without.

Re: [ilugd] Functional Programming, Software Defined Radio
Could you put these two topics on that Wiki page along with your name? A polite, not yet. Why not make the meeting virtual? I think participation may be higher if this were to happen. If you have a webcam on your local machine, you can try setting up a channel I don't think the speaker has to be seen, only heard. Bandwidth will be conserved particularly with several participants. I can host an open discussion if there is a show of hands and participants backgrounds and expectations. Among Hams there are local nets every day. IRC might be adequate for this too and slides can be placed anywhere there is web-server (I can lend one, if need be).
