||[[Baal0906|Baal0906]]||StephenTaylor spoke about ''Direct Development'', a conversation he has been developing about how software gets developed in APL and some other dynamic languages.||

||[[Baal0812]]||Was combined with a Christmas party and no minutes were kept.||
||[[Baal0811|Baal0811]]||The first meeting had no theme and saw small group discussions in corners of the room.||

= Publicity =

Before each meeting we ask a group member to post its details in the following places:

||here||[[http://groups.google.com/group/baa-london|BAALondon Google Group]]||[[http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.apl/topics|comp.lang.apl]]||
||[[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dyalogusers|Dyalog Users Group]]||[[http://www.vector.org.uk|Vector]]||[[BaaLondonLinks|continued here]]||

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:

||[[http://www.garysguide.org/|Gary's guide]]||and this...||[[BaaLondonLinks|continued here]]||

A reminder should be sent to BAALondon Google Group and comp.lang.apl a week before the meeting.

== Add your name ==

Members 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 <<MailTo(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.

= 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 [[http://groups.google.com/group/baa-london|BAALondon GoogleGroup]] or [[RunningBAAlondon|RunningBaaLondon]].

BAA London

Introduction

BAA London is a discussion group about APL. 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.

BAA London has its own Google group for announcements and discussions: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/baa-london

We are always open to suggestions on what to do, how to do it, and where best to meet.
