In this comp.lang.lisp post Ron Garret explains how he found and is in the process of exploring a copy of P-Lisp (PLisp) for the Apple IIe.
Addendum 06/24/08:
Ron explains how he created and released a disk image here.
This presentation at the Vancouver Lisp Users Group sounds like a lot of fun.
DrScheme is very, very close to its 4.0 release. I wanted to try out the newest bits on my OLPC XO using one of the nightly builds, but ran into the same problem as I did last time:
/home/olpc/apps/plt-3.99.0.25/bin/mred: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The next Chicago Lisp meeting is coming up this Friday, 5/16/8. Here are the relevant links:
Chicago Lisp Information Page (for now check here first)
Chicago Lisp Homepage (eventually this will be the master information site)
I will be heading down for this meeting, and presenting at it, so if you would like to carpool let me know!
Addendum […]
Here is the classic programming “how do you shoot yourself in the foot” joke, brought to Lisp by someone who “gets it”!
TASK: Shoot yourself in the foot.
LISP: You shoot yourself in the appendage which holds the gun with which you shoot yourself in the appendage which holds the gun with which you shoot yourself in […]
The goal of the 2008 Workshop on Scheme and Functional Programming is to:
report experience with the programming languages known as Scheme, to discuss ideas for the future of Scheme, and to present research related to Scheme and functional programming.
It is co-located with ICFP 08 in Victoria, British Columbia.
Here is an interesting post about hygiene and its sociological impact on the two Lisp groups of Schemers and Common Lispers.
While the post itself is a troll, the author:
Uses a very accessible analogy.
Quite clearly communicates a number of differences between Scheme and Common Lisp when it comes not only to hygiene but also language […]
Anyone new to Lisp will quickly find that among certain folks there is very much an “us versus them” mentality when it comes to Scheme and Common Lisp.
Is it just human nature that drives the mentality? Is it boredom?
Since Scheme and Common Lisp are both Lisp dialects, in some ways they are very similar; […]
The first event held by the Chicago Lisp User Group will be an Intro to Lisp Workshop. It is
is a half-day workshop to introduce Lisp and its goodness to other programmers. The primary audience is the Chicago Linux User Group but it open to everyone. This is the initial announcement and tentative schedule.
Looks fun, even […]
It is true what people say about Lisp, it changes how you think. In particular, it changes how you think about yourself!
If you pursue the “Road to Lisp”, it will serve as an elucidative experience as to whether or not you are “good” at programming. You see, I used to confuse “doing” with “learning”. […]
