Thank you Eliot and Tobias, and everyone else who sent me feedback - either directly or in one of the optional questions. All good suggestions. Regarding the dialect ranking: Originally I had a number of others on the list but surveymonkey suggested that long ranking lists are confusing and furstrating for respondents because it could take a long time to spend on a single question trying to sort the list. I thought that was a sensible ‘smart tip’ and shortened the list to include only the mainstream. My apologies if Squeakers or others feel excluded. I don’t want to change anything on the survey at this time to make the questions consistent. The survey is open until the end of August. I am sure I could have done better, but this was my first survey, and on a fairly broad subject. I hope it was not the last, and that in the future I may have some collaborators to hash out the details. Either way … in its first day the survey got a very good number of responses, and I think it will give me material for several presentations ;) Thank you all who participated. It means a lot.

Dear Jerry,

I'm cc-ing squeak-dev, as we might as well have a lot of insight for you there.

Dear Smalltalkers and friends,

I am planning to have a presentation titled ‘Smalltalk Security Landscape’ at this year’s ESUG conference. In my presentation I hope to increase cybersecurity awareness within the Smalltalk community and help shape the evolution of the language and its ecosystem.

I have put together a survey to help me research the topic. I ask for your kind help to get a picture of where Smalltalk stands in the area of cybersecurity. The survey is completely anonymous, and should take less than 15 minutes to complete. I appreciate your time and participation.

I'd like to make you aware that you missed Squeak altogether in Question 8:

Cincom Smalltalk (VisualWorks or Object Studio) Pharo GemStone/S VA Smalltalk Other Smalltalk dialect (e.g., Amber, Dolphin, VST, ...)

Also, it is not possible to specify _what_ other dialect is used, so you miss Cuis, SOM, GNU Smalltalk and all the like.

Please, if possible correct this.

+1. Also, either the last or next to last question asks the responder to rankle the strengths of various elements of the security of an app from people though web site to application code. It would be nice to have an opt out such as, in my own case, “don’t know enough about the entire system to answer this”.

...

Best regards -Tobias

...

If you are in a management role, I would like your help by forwarding this to your team members to help reach the broad Smalltalk community.

Thank you for your help, and hope to see you in Cagliari!
