Steven I would be really curious to see if cincom wants this kind of press and marketing. It would be really funny. VisualWorks the Smalltalk flagship sponsored by a free association to develop better product. I'm not sure that it will make laugh a lot of people but at least I would laugh a lot.

The case for VW is easy you should give it in person to Holger Kleinsorgen for having written the Windows 7 Look and feel !!
Great idea!
I hadn't been aware of the 100-150€ that ESUG gives out for each research paper or article published on Smalltalk, or about a product made with Smalltalk (http://esug.org/wiki/pier/Promotion, YourArticle, YourPublication). Another category in a similar vein might be YourCode, for things like Holger's Windows 7 Look and Feel. That would be different from YourProject, where you apply for the money beforehand, and different from the Innovation Technology Awards, in that YourCode would be for things that are useful to a large number of Smalltalkers - a framework or similar rather than a complete product.
