BAA London
Contents
Introduction
BAA London is a discussion group about APL which meets monthly in London. It is loosely affiliated to the British APL Association (BAA) but you don't have to be a member of the BAA to come to the meetings. Visitors to London and strangers to APL and its dialects are always welcome at our meetings.
We have held five meetings so far and we are still deciding what it is we want to do, how to do it, and where best to meet. Go to RunningBAAlondon if you want to follow the discussions about how we should do it.

Next Meeting
The sixth meeting will be held in late April or early May. The venue, date time and agenda will be announced soon.
Agenda
Stephen Taylor has offered to talk about "Deliberate Development".
Dick Bowman's offer to lead a discussion about NARS 2000 is still on the table.
BAALondon GoogleGroup is the best place to have discussions about future meetings. If you have a topic that you would like to see on the agenda go there and tell us, whether it is something you want to hear about or something you want to say. Or just email your ideas and questions to me <wiki AT SPAMFREE ellismorgan DOT co DOT uk>.
Publicity
Before each meeting we ask a group member to post its details in the following places:
here |
BAALondon Google Group |
usergroup comp.lang.apl |
the dyalog usersgroup |
the vector website |
Members are encouraged to do the same in places we may not otherwise think of, and to post links to the WIKI there too. To avoid duplication this is where I know links have been put:
and this... |
A reminder should be sent to BAALondon Google Group and comp.lang.apl a week before the meeting.
Members
Add your name
Members who are able to do so are invited to add their names here. To do so you need to be a member of the WIKI in the trusted group. If you would like me to add your name without joining, just send me an email <wiki AT SPAMFREE ellismorgan DOT co DOT uk>. You are also welcome to email me if you want to do it yourself but can not find the help you need. That will test my WIKI skills, but before you do take a look here HelpForBeginners.
Previous meetings
The first meeting had no theme and was a number of varying small groups discussing in different corners of the room. |
|
Was combined with a Christmas party and no minutes were kept. |
|
Started with no theme, but we moved to holding a single meeting to discuss how we should organise ourselves. |
|
The theme was Education in APL. |

Phil on his code repository system, plus various discussions. |
Critique
This page was created by EllisMorgan, starting on 3 March 2009. It is the first WIKI page of any size I have created and I am learning as I go along. If you see anything you think can be improved, just go ahead and do it. But if your changes amount to a sizeable redesign and overhaul it might be polite to leave some reasons for your actions here. In any event please use the comment field provided with the editor so we can see what is happening from the page's "info" button.
Design Decisions
For example, in the Previous meetings section should I explain that the blue Baalxxxx entries are links to full minutes of each meeting and that their name tells you the month and year of the meeting? My view is that it is very obvious and when you link to the minutes there is more than enough detail there.
Keep it short
Maintaining this WIKI page is a good subject for "how we run the group", so if you want to start a lengthy discussion about it, please move to BAALondon GoogleGroup or RunningBaaLondon.
