I, for one, was happy with our 30 minutes since it was not on the usual Friday morning :-) But more seriously, I will just echo Joachim's email (since we talked about this subject for a length of time before he sent it, I saw no surprises there). 30 minutes is sufficient to give an overview of product status. If there is something of particular interest (and more depth) that a vendor has to say, they can submit other presentation proposals on those specific topics.

Best Spreading Smalltalk Actions

by Noury Bouraqadi

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!

Running WebVelocity in the Amazon cloud

Dear ESUG folks; Below are the links to the videos I would have liked to have shown, had I more presentation time. It demonstrates exactly what setup is needed to configure and use this Smalltalk product in the cloud, both for development, and deployment, including load balancing. I thought many in this audience could benefit seeing how this is done. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20291/Cincom%20Smalltalk/AmazonRDS-2010-07-22-part1… http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20291/Cincom%20Smalltalk/AmazonRDS-2010-07-22-part2… Regards Arden Arden Thomas Cincom Smalltalk Product Manager athomas(a)cincom.com 845 296 0686 Cincom Smalltalk - It makes hard things easier, the impossible, possible "Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication" - Leonardo Da Vinci

Re: [Esug-list] Thanks to ESUG and their sponsors

by Henrik Høyer

I totally agree, ESUS is a *user group*, and the event should be held with that in mind! And believe me, I know that not being there in person is a huge loss. Though watching the presentations from a distance does make a lot of sense for me, and I have recommended them to my network, *including* non Smalltalkers. -- Henrik Høyer, sPeople ApS Chief Software Architect (+45) 4029 2092 -----Original Message----- From: esug-list-bounces(a)lists.esug.org [mailto:esug-list-bounces@lists.esug.org] On Behalf Of Joachim Tuchel Sent: 16. september 2010 00:20 To: esug-list(a)lists.esug.org Subject: Re: [Esug-list] Thanks to ESUG and their sponsors Henrik, from what I've heard in the coffee break (and I agree to that), most people here in Barcelona thought this is enough. The idea (or at least the ideaof the audience) was that each vendor can present some of their hghlights to the wider Smalltalk communities, but not more than that. The users of a certain dialect probably know most of that stuff already, and the others just want to hear what's going on in the other dialects. And, of course, you must keep in mind that we have lots of time for talking between the talks, and the real fun is not in the talks but between them. When you're not here, you miss a lot, even if you can see the prsentations. Luckily, all the vendor representants here are open minded, friendly and don't show a "them vs. us" attitude. You can see people from Gemstone, Instantiations and Cincom standing together and chatting, as well as Cincomers working on Smalltalk code in Pharo or VA Smalltalk, in order to port some framework over or play with stuff. So if you were here and wanted to learn morw about a specific feature, you could always approach Arden, Dale or John and have a chat. Which is what's happening. While we're at it, let me phrase it in my words: ESUG is a conference, not a tradeshow. I'd be p*d off if I had flown here, booked a hotel and paid for long sales talks. I'd be happy to listen to long sales presentations if this would make ESUG attendence free. But as long as I pay for it: no commercial breaks, please ;-) Just my thoughts Joachim Am 15.09.10 15:26, schrieb stephane ducasse: > all the vendors were given the same amount of time.
