Functional Programming Sydney

• We are a seminar and social group for people in Sydney, Australia interested in Functional Programming.
• We're interested in Clean, Erlang, F#, Haskell, LISP, Mercury, Ocaml, Scala, Scheme, and more.
• We also have a contingent interested in theorem provers such as Coq and Isabelle.
• Meetings are held on the third Thursday evening of each month.
• The first meeting took place in February 2008 and we regularly get 20-30 attendees.
