Best Spreading Smalltalk Actions
by Noury Bouraqadi Sept. 22, 2010

Sept. 22, 2010

Although the technology is important, spreading the word is also of great value to the Smalltalk community. This is why the ESUG board decided to distinguish two people for their actions on this-level: -Damien Cassou for Squeak-dev: an initiative which makes developers life easier by setting a ready to use image including best available tools. -Laurent Laffont for Pharocast: quality screencasts that illustrates various facets of http://pharocasts.blogspot.com/ Congratulations Damien and Laurent!

ESUG actions (was: Best Spreading Smalltalk Actions)
by Noury Bouraqadi Sept. 21, 2010

Sept. 21, 2010

Hi, ESUG is willing to support all actions everywhere. The "E" of ESUG can also be interpreted as "Earth-wide" :-) In places where there are Smalltalk groups we help them (sponsoring). Otherwise we push their creation. If you have a project that might help the Smalltalk community in someway (free software project, writing books, organizing an event, ...), you are eligible to ESUG support. Just submit your proposal to the ESUG board (board(a)esug.org) and you'll get quickly an answer. You can find a list of ESUG actions on-line: http://www.esug.org/Promotion Noury ESUG Treasurer www.esug.org On 21 sept. 2010, at 13:25, Germán Arduino wrote: > Hi: > > I agree with Mariano, ESUG is sponsoring me even when I do not live in > Europe and I can not even go to conferences in Europe. > > Also they helped me to present my products in two editions of > Innovation Technology Awards, without being present. > > Thanks ESUG. > > > 2010/9/21 Mariano Martinez Peck <marianopeck(a)gmail.com>: >> >> >> On Fri, Sep 17, 2010 at 7:16 PM, Casey Ransberger <casey.obrien.r(a)gmail.com> >> wrote: >>> >>> As far as sponsoring local user groups: does this apply only in Europe?

Thanks to ESUG and their sponsors
by Henrik Høyer Sept. 17, 2010

Sept. 17, 2010

Just my humble thoughts... I watched the talks from Cincom and Instantiations , and was somewhat surprised of the very short time they were given. They are sponsors of the event, and should imho get more time to promote their offerings. The talks from the vendors was biased towards existing customers, and I think that the vendors should be given a chance to promote the offerings; show their usp's, showcase their references, present licensing information, prices etc. etc. Basically allow them to give the sales pitch, they would normally use to impress a prospect. -- Henrik Høyer, sPeople ApS Chief Software Architect (+45) 4029 2092
