About Common-Lisp.net

Common-Lisp.net provides hosting for projects and user groups related to the programming language Common Lisp.

The site is maintained by volunteers, under the non-profit that holds it. Please consider volunteering some of your time and attention, or using its services to help cover what it costs to run.

Its source is on gitlab.common-lisp.net. The site is written in Common Lisp and served by Gendl.

If you want to host a project, read about project hosting. If you have questions, suggestions or comments about this site, or simply wish to reach the current maintainers, send the admins a request or write to admin@common-lisp.net.

Who runs it

Common-Lisp.net is held by the Stichting Common Lisp Foundation, a non-profit foundation registered in the Netherlands. Its purpose, in the words of its bylaws, is to promote the use and development of the Common Lisp programming language: by promoting and facilitating meetings, conferences and networking; by promoting the development of de-facto standard functionality for Common Lisp with publicly available source code; and by allied activities consistent with those aims.

All of its work is done by volunteers. Its board meets every month, usually on the first Wednesday, and welcomes members of the community; ask for an invitation at clf@cl-foundation.org. The board, the bylaws and the payment policy are at cl-foundation.org.
