A Pattern Language of Concurrency

Chat servers and ping-pong demos are fine starting points, but where to go from there?

We'll have 2-3 speakers to showing various concurrent design patterns, with real Scala code. Anyone claiming to possess silver bullets will be shot with regular bullets.

30 minute talks (so far):

Chris League - Experiments structuring concurrent computations as networks of actors. Nathan Hamblen - Experience managing non-blocking I/O channels in immutable collections, with the help of @volatile and good old synchronized(). Jim Powers - Using Scala 2.9's parallel collections effectively. Pizza and drinks at 6:30, courtesy of Meetup.
