Redline Smalltalk IndieGoGo
by Sean Allen Nov. 29, 2012

Nov. 29, 2012

Hi all, We are currently running an indiegogo campaign to raise money to have James Ladd be able to work on Redline Smalltalk full time for a while. The goal is to be able to come out of it with a production usable version 1.0 Smalltalk running on the JVM. We'd appreciate if you could spread the word about the campaign amongst anyone you know that might be interested and of course, donations are welcomed as well. Thanks for spreading the word: http://www.indiegogo.com/smalltalk/x/1780747?c=home For those of you who might not know what we've been up to lately, here are a couple blog posts about the jvm & java integration we've been working on: http://www.redline.st/blog/2012/05/01/emitting-jvm-bytecodes.html http://www.redline.st/blog/2012/11/20/automatic-java-class-integration.html If you'd like to know more, please join the mailing list and start firing questions at us. https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/redline-smalltalk -Sean-

Smalltalk logos page on esug.org?
by Janko Mivšek Nov. 8, 2012

Hi guys, This is for history: I once collected all logos for Smalltalk and put them on a wiki. Which is defunct now but I found in on archive.org: http://web.archive.org/web/20050404043202/http://wiki.eranova.si/logo It would be nice to open a special page on esug.org to preserve a history of Smalltalk logos as well. Best regars Janko -- Janko Mivšek Aida/Web Smalltalk Web Application Server http://www.aidaweb.si
