Smalltalk Team
by mani kartha April 25, 2013

April 25, 2013

Hi, We have a team of 8 smalltalkers with 8+ years experience in smalltalk. The areas of expertise include Visual works, Squeak, Seaside, Glorp,Store and also thorough with OOAD and have hands on experience in Agile methodologies. Do you think there are chances of getting smalltalk related work for the team (development,support or conversion)?, especially when we are not having any marketing team for ourselves. We are also ready to do man power supply of smalltalk resources but needs work permit outside India. Do you think it is better to search jobs individually or wait for projects as a team? Is it worth maintaining such a team? Can someone suggest some way to search smalltalk work for our team? If someone wants to know more about the team or what we can offer, please let me know Regards, Mani S Kartha maniskartha <At> gmail <dot> com

GSoC Mentoring Sign-ups
by Sean P. DeNigris April 22, 2013

April 22, 2013

I saw that there were quite a few unfilled positions and others were signed up to mentor multiple projects, so I added myself to a handful of projects. I'm assuming it will probably not work to mentor all of them if they end up going forward. How is this handled? b.t.w. there are still spots open. Who's going to step up and help create the future of our community?! ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/GSoC-Mentoring-Sign-ups-tp4683016.html Sent from the ESUG mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
