Reading this thread after all we did for Smalltalk is quite taught. The wolfs are back apparently. Sad period. I think the esug board will have to really decide if ESUG is worth after all. Now may be ESUG popularity is a problem for certain people or this is the pharo popularity. May be this is good to not give a chance to a promising open source project (especially when we see that such question never arose when it was about other Smalltalks). Life is so funny sometimes.
No Stephane, it's not that. Part of it is just misinformation and I think that was clarified; the other part is just basic handling of conflict of interest, and I think it's in ESUG's interest to keep its usual level of transparency.
Why did we send the mail if this is not about that? Now I see so much frustration in some mails that I laugh a lot. Personally when I wake up the morning I feel good and I know that I'm doing a good job for my community. Now may be I should do something else. I also really like the mails from people that never put on finger in the ESUG conference and that do not know what is it to organize it, promote Smalltalk, give lecture worldwide and other little things like writing stupid books. Anyway I'm leaving on vacation and let people have fun. Stef
