Speaker: Utku Demir
Talk Title: "Nix - purely functional package management; and NixOS, the Nix based OS"
"Nix is a lazy/functional/pure language for describing software and NixOS is an operating system based on Nix. Nix is not very well known even in FP community, and I'd really like this to change since it is an extremely useful tool."

Speaker: Felix Schlitter
Talk Title: "Pragmatic server-side web development in Haskell"
"I hope to show that Haskell not only provides an advanced type system and fancy compiler tricks, but the means for pragmatic, high velocity development of every day programs such as web servers, contesting and in many respects surpassing the established competition in core aspects of the development life-cycle."

Speaker: Stuart Grimshaw
Talk Title: "Lisp - Not a Dysfunctional Family"
"Why Lisps are

1. not dead,
2. not typed,
3. so damned parenthesised."
