#23 What is the SIGPLAN? - Jens Palsberg and Jonathan Aldrich

In this episode we talk about Sigplan, the organization behind the most important conferences and proceedings in our field. What is the SIGPLAN? What exactly does it do? How is it organized? How are things published? To answer these and many other questions we talk with Jens Palsberg, a professor at UCLA, who is the past chair of the SIGPLAN. And also Jonathan Aldrich, a professor at the CMU, who is a member of the ACM publication board.
