  G'day,

  I propose this to be added for the agenda at the upcoming Summit at
  Barcelona.   I volunteer to chair the session, and would like to
  request any developers who will be attending, especially people
  working on the LISP code base, to attend.

  I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the Barcelona meeting.
  I had assumed I'd be able to escape from JHU for a couple of days
  but it turns out that's not possible.  I'll try and participate
  in this session via some sort of videolink, however.

  I'm afraid we're not buying ACL licences here, other than the
  single user Windows licence, so there isn't any significant money
  for the pool.  I'm expecting to distribute SBCL versions of the
  *MRS code at some point (separate from the LKB).  Most currently
  looks OK under SBCL - it's a matter of tidying it up and keeping
  it working.
