Re: [Esug-list] Smalltalk lecture in Africa

Dear Stef, what kind of lecture would that be and who will be doing it? Or, are you also looking for a lecturer that you'd like to fund the travel?

Dear Stef,
what kind of lecture would that be and who will be doing it?
A starter and a bit more advanced lecture: like the ones I did at Timisoara and Turino or Alex did in another city in Romania. Check my lectures website. I also did one in switzerland in the past in a fachhoschule. And the idea is that we give also the lecture material so that people can redo after us the lecture.
Or, are you also looking for a lecturer that you'd like to fund the travel?
Not really for now. Note that we do not pay the lecture. So in my case I always did the lecture for free. ESUG payed some of the trip expenses and my team budget often participated to the rest. Stef
Cheers Helge

BTW note that this was probably a mistake to do all this work and the lectures for free. Because at the end this does not count. This is the same for the books I wrote. May be I'm too stupid and I should work on something else. When I see how people react when we talk about participating to the pharo consortium for about 4000 K and when I see the amount of time we spent pushing smalltalk and helping this community, this makes me really think. After all may be aiming for a better system is not good, I should have just run after money. I think that now with JavaScript dynamic languages will be really changing the world and Smalltalk does not look in the picture. Stef On Jul 6, 2012, at 12:08 PM, Nowak, Helge wrote:

Stef, It was C++ in the 80's and early 90's ... then java ... then ruby ... now javascript:) You're not doing it for the money:) ... you're not doing it for the fame and glory:) ... you're doing it because it is your passion! Keep up the good work and follow your passion...
