  Sure !

  Actually, I was talking about this with Pascal Bourguignon last year,
but I never got around to organizing it. I already have the name for it
though: PLUG[1] :-)

  I live in Paris, but unfortunately I won't be able to attend, sorry

   Functional languages have been under academic development for
   over 25 years, and remain fertile ground for programming
   language research. Recently, however, developers in industrial,
   governmental, and open-source projects have begun to use
   functional programming successfully in practical applications.
   In these settings, functional programming has often provided
   dramatic leverage, including whole new ways of thinking about
   the original problem.

   The goal of the CUFP workshop is to act as a voice for these
   users of functional programming. The workshop supports the
