Re: Fwd: [CfP] International Lisp Conference '07 (news)

I am very sympathetic to the dilemma facing academics.  However, ILC  
is calling itself a conference, not a workshop.  So which is it?

I also noticed a calendar conflict between ILC 2007 at Cambridge  
University and TFP 2007 at Seton Hall and CCNY.  Is that an  
underlying conflict, or an additional one?  TFP 2007 calls itself  
neither a conference nor a workshop, but a symposium, "the successor  
to the successful series of Scottish Functional Programming  
Workshops."  Maybe the type theorists can sort this out.
