FORTH has it's 50's Birthday. Not as old as my beloved COBOL but worth to mention.
Chuck Moore will be giving a talk, in the Firth of Forth region of Scotland. Forth Standards meetings on the same weekend, same place.
Forth Conference (including the optional Forth Day) is Friday 14th
|September to Monday 17th September. Banquet night will be Saturday
|15th September. I hope everyone will make a special more dressy
|effort for this one.
|
|The Standards Meeting will begin on Wednesday 12th September and
|finish on Friday 14th September. Usual midday to midday timetable.
|
|The venue will be the DoubleTree Hilton Queensferry Hotel on the North
|Shore of the Firth of Forth. There is a local railway station nearby
|and Edinburgh Airport is reachable through many other hubs within
|Europe.
And now we have TAQOZ in ROM. Nobody knows if it works, yet. But it is there, physically silicon.
Enjoy!
Mike
