Orchestrating the cloud with Clojure (by Pierre-Yves Ritschard)
Pierre-Yves Ritschard (https://twitter.com/pyr) will be presenting:
"Orchestrating the cloud with Clojure"
While orchestration of physical resources has historically been a task
for Perl and YAML, we will show how it is a perfect match for
Clojure's data processing abilities. With a mix of basic constructs
(FSMs, CSP, SQL) and some of Clojure's superpowers, we will show the
architecture of a typical orchestrator at Exoscale, one of the leading
European Cloud alternatives.
Pierre-Yves is CTO and co-founder at Exoscale where he is responsible
for architecture and strategic technology choices, relying on
experience in the architecture of very large corporate systems as well
as technical product design in several startups.

donut.system - your new favourite component library (by Daniel Higginbotham)
Title: **donut.system: your new favourite component library?**
Speaker: **Daniel Higginbotham**
Daniel Higginbotham (https://twitter.com/nonrecursive) will be presenting:
"donut.system: your new favourite component library?"
Daniel will introduce donut.system (https://github.com/donut-power/system),
a new alternative to Integrant, Component, and friends. He'll show how
it addresses some of their limitations and could provide a better
foundation for a Clojure web-app framework.
Daniel is the author of the very popular "Clojure for the Brave and True" book
https://www.braveclojure.com/. He loves
making things and helping others make things.

Combining clojure.spec, Design Recipies, and Domain-Driven Design (by Leandro Doctors)
Speaker: **Leandro Doctors**
Code: https://github.com/allentiak/bob-2021...
Leandro Doctors (github.com/allentiak) will be presenting:
"Combining clojure.spec, Design Recipies, and Domain-Driven Design"
I will share a method to systematically and comprehensively evolve a
domain model, complementing use cases and "software recipes" with
(clojure.spec-based) specifications. This approach facilitates finding
inaccuracies at the edges of our in-growth domain, allowing us to:
1) supersede the de-facto "tinker until it works" standard with a
systematic "define-specify-verify (repeat)" cycle;
2) complement the traditional mitigation of both internal and
parameter validation errors.
Leandro is an IT geek from San Juan (Argentina) who rediscovered his
love for programming thanks to Clojure. He has been involved in peer
production communities (free software, free culture & the like) in one
way or another for over twenty years now.
After spending a few years between three different continents (Europe,
South America and Africa), Leandro is currently back in his
hometown. For how long will he remain there? Only time will tell.

LISP: The Ultimate Excel LAMBDA (by Bob Calco)
This is the audio only version of the recorded London Clojurians event https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7EEmM5M7co
Inspired in part by Microsoft's recent announcement of the new LAMBDA Excel function (see: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/resea...), we had a broader vision to fully integrate a proper Lisp into the world's most popular spreadsheet application. The result proved valuable enough to incorporate into our platform for general data interoperability, the first technology offering of which, called Accelerate, aims to turn document and desktop data silos commonly associated with MS Office products (especially Access and Excel documents, though not limited to these) into fully-interoperable, linked-data microservices. Our brief demo will place a special focus on the use of Scheme for bringing a whole new dimension to Excel's formula calculation capability. We are also working on a distributed enterprise interoperability solution, called DomainMaster, which will be incorporating ClojureCLR as a language option as well. A sneak peek at that is also planned, time-permitting.

Functional Operating Systems (by Andrew Tropin)
This is the audio only version of the recorded London Clojurians event https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chKc_YsvXKU
How to apply principles of functional programming, but for package managers and operating systems? A brief introduction to Guix System and NixOS, why they are so similar to what we do in Clojure and why should we care.
