At the suggestion of [[wikipedia:NASA|NASA]] employee Cyrus Creveling, a group of attendees of the 1969 conference agreed to hold a second conference at the [[wikipedia:Goddard Space Flight Center]] in [[wikipedia:Greenbelt, Maryland]]. It took place on June 19 and 20, 1970. The conference, reduced in attendance from 220 to 150, was held in the style of a workshop, with presentations and discussion but no papers or proceedings published. At this conference the first formal effort to establish [[SIGAPL]] was made by collecting the required 25 signatures for a petition to the ACM.<ref name="foster"/> | |||
Creveling's report from the conference was published in the [[APL Quote-Quad]].<ref>Creveling, Cyrus. "APL Conference". [[APL Quote-Quad]] Vol. 2, No. 2. 1970-07-10.</ref> In addition to presentations on practical problems and programs in APL, future work on APL was discussed by speakers including [[Al Rose]] and [[Larry Breed]] of [[STSC]], and representatives of [[Burroughs]] and various universities. [[Ken Iverson]] and [[Adin Falkoff]] attended but spoke little about their plans, and [[Eric Iverson]], then at [[I.P. Sharp]], participated in discussion. | |||
