Report on Dyalog 2008 user meeting

Adrian Smith’s report of the Dyalog 2008 user meeting in Elsinore the week before last will appear at the end of the year in Vector 24:1. It is online now at

Despite the turmoil in financial services, where so many of our applications run, the meeting saw record numbers of delegates.

Overheard at the meeting:

This is the first conference where I raised the average age instead of lowering it.

Not just the age distribution got flattened. There was a more even balance between the sexes than I have ever seen at an APL conference, as Adrian took care to show in his pictures.

To follow soon: reports from the APL2000 conference in Baltimore and (I hope) the APL Germany meeting in Augsburg, both next month.
