application phase for Plat_Forms ends!!

Dear Smalltalkers, unfortunately I became aware of the Plat_Forms competition only now: http://www.plat-forms.org/ I hope you were better than myself and have already submitted your proposals. If not, I hope some of you can organize and submit even on this short-notice a team! Good luck!

I now working on building the team for Plat Forms. Problem is, as far as I understand, minimum allowed teams number is 3. So if our team will be the single one, smalltalk will maybe just not be allowed.

Hi, (unfortunately, I cannot read cyrillic, so I'm not sure who you are ;-) ) I'm Yuriy Mironenko, Rostov-on-Don, Russia :-)
My understanding is that there is no limit to the number of groups for a platform. The team size is exactly 3 developers, but I have not found such a limit on their website. I wanted to admit it in previous letter, but, well...I didn't. Mainly because this question is not absolutely clean.
Really, when you reading announcement page ( http://www.plat-forms.org/platforms-announcement (http://www.plat-forms.org/platforms-announcement) ), there are no this restriction listed in some clear manner. But you may admit this quotation: "However, we will nominate a best solution among the three solutions on each individual platform". And, when you reading main page ( http://www.plat-forms.org (http://www.plat-forms.org/) ), you may admit this quotation: "We will try to select the most capable teams from among the applications and will accept up to four (and at least three) teams for each platform".

Well those parts of rules describe how many teams for one platform can participate, not how many members one team has. So I guess you could qualify as a single member, but you would definitely be handicaped in comparison to teams of 3. So It would be great if someone else could join you, or maybe if you could persuade organizers to let you add more people to your team after the application phase ends. I was thinking about joining but I think my current Seaside skills are not good enough for such competition, and less but still important, it would be hard to schedule those few days.

Dear Davorin et al, we should put one Smalltalk team in if possible. If the organisers then drop us, that is their affair. I agree we will likely not get 3 teams of 3 Smalltalkers, but it may well be that is just a secondary prize (best in Java, best in Python, whatever). If we win best overall, we will not complain about not getting a 'best in Smalltalk' as well. Just FYI, Michael (Mr WebVelocity) came back from his tour of the UK and Europe last week with flue, so he cannot participate in this discussion at the moment. If we have a team in, it is possible we can strengthen it, train it or whatever as the dates approach. Yours faithfully Niall Ross Davorin Rusevljan wrote:
