packages to get.
* Lisp Basics and Idioms (Peter Christensen) : Lisp syntax,
contructs, basic code, idioms and practices.

neat and practical things that Lisp can do.
We're looking for volunteers to do the following:
* Present on the CL condition system
* Suggest and present on other aspects of CL not listed here that
would be suitable for an introductory session

setting up your environment.
*
Help with audio and video recording

Provide audio recording equipment (mics, cords, some way to
record the audio on a computer, etc)
If you're interested in attending or helping, please email Peter
Christensen and include "Intro to Lisp Workshop" at the start of the
