Sorry about that. This note replaced our "call for proposals", which had much more formatting. Also, I'm a shite web developer, so there's that.

  What does prlconf have to do with lambdaconf? How does a speaker at one conference cause the closure of another conference?

    It was collocated with lambdaconf and essentially happening within lambdaconf: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:o9MkL1We6DAJ:www.jonprl.org/prlconf+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:o9MkL1W...

      [Wikipedia] In programming languages, closures (also lexical closures or function closures) are a technique for implementing lexically scoped name binding in languages with first-class functions. Operationally, a closure is a record storing a function[a] together with an environment:[1] a mapping associating each free variable of the function (variables that are used locally, but defined in an enclosing scope) with the value or storage location to which the name was bound when the closure was created.[b] A closure—unlike a plain function—allows the function to access those captured variables through the closure's reference to them, even when the function is invoked outside their scope.

    LambdaConf is the host conference, and PrlConf is a collocated workshop. My boss and friend John De Goes initially suggested that I put on this workshop at LambdaConf.

  That's the name of the font. They chose it because it looked nice, not out of some kind of attempt at brainwashing.

    Indeed. that css is leftover from a previous version of the page. You can view the history of that page here: https://github.com/jonsterling/JonPRL/commits/gh-pages/prlconf.html https://github.com/jonsterling/JonPRL/commits/gh-pages/prlco...
