Dear happy smalltalking people, After several analyses the board in concertation with the local organisers decided to cancel ESUG in 2020. It was not an easy decision but we believe it has to be taken. We plan to organise it next year in the same place. For IWST the PC chair will announce some dates because we would like to run it. S. on the behalf of the ESUG board. I hope that you and your friends and family are safe. -------------------------------------------- Stéphane Ducasse http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr / http://www.pharo.org 03 59 35 87 52 Assistant: Julie Jonas FAX 03 59 57 78 50 TEL 03 59 35 86 16 S.

Stef and everybody involved in this decision, I think you made the right decision and of course I hope to meet you guys in Serbia in good health and mood next year. It was tough deciding what to do if ESUG will happen this year. Do I want to fly? Is it wise to risk bringing Corona there or back home to my family? Is it worth or is it better staying at home? I am glad this decision doesn't have to be taken any more. To the local organizers: don't worry, I am sure it will be an even happier and greater party in 2021 when we all meet again (given the overall situation allows for it). The opportunity to meet a bunch of old and new Smalltalking friends will be missed in any case...

Dear all, I agree, cancelling this year’s ESUG is the right thing to do. Let’s hope for next year. Many thanks to everyone for your efforts invested so far!

         Till next year
               Niall Ross

Dear Stéphane, I imagine you were reaching the point where go/no-go decisions regarding committing to expenditure were being made. I know how nerve-wracking that can be. I expected to spend all two weeks of Christmas holiday 2010 agonising over a vital accomodation decision I knew I had to make at the start of January 2011. But instead of spending two weeks worrying, I spent those two weeks ill with flue, not thinking about anything much. :-) I recovered _just_ in time to commit - and decided to live boldly because I had no time to think about it. (And it was the right decision - enough people came.) So that really bad bout of flue saved me from two weeks of needless worrying - worrying that might have ended in an overcautious decision. :-) I sympathise that your experience of disease today is less happy. A bug spared me two weeks of worry over ESUG. Now I guess another disease has given you and the local organisers much more than two weeks of worrying. I hope (and largely expect) that things will be up and running again in August. But things would have to be up and running _now_ for people to buy attendance, make reservations, buy hotel rooms ... Sadly, I can understand why you decided as you did. Meanwhile, I'm getting to attend the online UK STUGs more often that I could get to London to attend the in-person ones. And most of us have nothing to complain of, compared to those who cannot work remotely.
