Hi everyone :waving_hand:

We (@giltho and myself) are happy to announce the first OCaml meetup in London (Caml in the Capital)! Think of it as the British cousin of OCaml Users Meetup in Paris (OUPS).

What?

Caml in the Capital is an informal evening of talks, demos, and hacking from anyone working with or interested in OCaml. The goal is to create a friendly local space for sharing ideas, showing off projects, and connecting with other OCaml developers in the UK.

When?

We’re aiming for February 2026. Please fill out this short poll to help us pick a date:

:backhand_index_pointing_right: Doodle poll link

Options: Thu 5th Feb, Thu 12th Feb, Thu 19th Feb, Thu 26th Feb

The meetup will take place in central London (venue TBA — likely Imperial College), starting around 6:30pm and running until 8:30pm, with informal drinks and discussions afterwards.

What’s the Fmt?

A mix of:

  • Workshop-style talks – anything from an accessible introduction of your work or research, a deep dive into your library, a live demo, or a tutorial.
  • Hacking / discussions

Call for presentations?

If you’d like to give a talk, please message me or @giltho directly with:

  • A title and short abstract
  • Expected time slot

Once we confirm the first date, we’ll:

  • Confirm the programme and publish a new forum post

  • Setup website, a Zulip channel, and a Meetup page for registration

Looking forward to meeting more OCaml users in person!

– Alistair & Sacha

Side note that acts as a convenient bump for the thread.
There used to be an OCamlLDN meetup in ~2018. I’ve DMed the OCamlLDN Twitter account with no answer, anybody knows who has ownership of it?
