Using it
- Read the checklist first: it says what to do when, and points at the other files as they are needed.
- Post the meeting on the calendar, and on your group's own channels with the words in the announcements file.
- Edit the slides and the printables: open them in any text editor and replace everything in [brackets]. Open them in a browser to show or print them.
- Bring the exercises to the hacking part of the evening. Load
exercises.lispin any Common Lisp and call(ex:check).
The kit's home is clm/meeting-kit, the Common Lisp meetings group on this site's GitLab. If you ran a meeting with it and something was missing or wrong, an issue or a merge request there makes the next organizer's evening better.
