Another small bit of celebration for Dana Scott's 90th Birthday: the Peripatetic Seminar on Sheaves and Logic (PSSL) is an informal meeting of categorists, type theorists and logicians, started in 1976 by Dana Scott, while in Oxford. There's now an nLab page, but we only have the titles of the talks till the 100th PSSL. We're missing at least 5 meetings and help providing webpages or listings of the talks for these missing meetings would be much appreciated!

There have been 6 meetings since PSSL 100.

By the way, for later PSSL meetings, it's possible to find talk abstracts as well as talk titles. It would be nice to include these in the document for archival purposes (or perhaps directly on the nLab).

Great @Nathanael Arkor ! but why didn't you add this directly to the nLab? I thought this was the point of the nLab?

@Valeria de Paiva: the contents of the PSSL history document are not on the nLab. I thought whoever was responsible for that document would want to update it. I agree it would be nice if the contents were available on the nLab directly, though.

The file was produced by Dr Julia Goedecke, a former student of PTJ, who, as far as I know, is not in this zulip. I don't have the latex source for it. If I had, I would've put it in GitHub, as there are titles missing, and it would indeed be nice to have abstracts for all possible talks.

I added the links from @Nathanael Arkor to the nLab page

Hi @Valeria de Paiva , I organized PSSL105 in Palermo. Abstracts of the talks are on the website, however here they are: pssl_105_programme_with_abstracts.pdf

This zulip has a nice syntax extension where you can just type the name of an nLab page in double-brackets, like you do on the nLab itself: [[Peripatetic Seminar on Sheaves and Logic]].

Thanks @Beppe Metere and thanks @Jean-Baptiste Vienney for adding information to the page!
