With the Spring semester coming to a close, the current group of students involved in the project are shutting down shops and preparing the project to receive a new team of developers. A lot has been accomplished this year, moving the project to full-fledged open source development and continuing the long and arduous task of thoroughly testing and cleaning up code. CLforJava continues to expand and improve with each new group of students and now also with new public involvement and support. With the transition to open source complete, the focus of the next student group will shift largely to testing and cleaning up existing code, with new content coming largely from programmers outside of the College of Charleston. We would like to thank all of the supporters of CLforJava, especially this year's student development team, who all did a great job, and look forward to working with a new group of students next year!

The Association of Lisp Users' International Lisp Conference is almost upon us. From March 22nd through the 25th, professional Lisp developers will meet to discuss the next fifty years of Lisp. This year's conference will feature four keynote speakers, several tutorials, papers, and demonstrations, a panel session, debates, and numerous lightning talks. Professor Jerry Boetje will not only be attending the conference, but will also be giving a lightning talk on the CLforJava project. Hopefully, CLforJava's new public face will entice more members of the Lisp community to provide input on the project and further stimulate new innovations in Lisp development. This year's conference should be very interesting and informative, and we are excited to be a part of it.

Now that it's March the Lisp Conference approaches even faster.  We're entering the final stages of completing the website, needing only downloads, documents, and information about getting involved.
