Hi, ESUG is willing to support all actions everywhere. The "E" of ESUG can also be interpreted as "Earth-wide" :-) In places where there are Smalltalk groups we help them (sponsoring). Otherwise we push their creation. If you have a project that might help the Smalltalk community in someway (free software project, writing books, organizing an event, ...), you are eligible to ESUG support. Just submit your proposal to the ESUG board (board@esug.org) and you'll get quickly an answer. You can find a list of ESUG actions on-line: http://www.esug.org/Promotion Noury ESUG Treasurer www.esug.org On 21 sept. 2010, at 13:25, Germán Arduino wrote:

Hi:

I agree with Mariano, ESUG is sponsoring me even when I do not live in Europe and I can not even go to conferences in Europe.

Also they helped me to present my products in two editions of Innovation Technology Awards, without being present.

Thanks ESUG.

As far as sponsoring local user groups: does this apply only in Europe? Or can people outside of Europe also ask for support?

I think they can. We got sponsored twice for SqueakDBX and we were living in Argentina. German is now sponsored for RPC project and he also lives there.

In addition, FAST (which can be kind of local user group in Argentina) received something too.

But maybe I am wrong....I cc'ed esug mailing list.

cheers

-Damien Cassou for Squeak-dev: an initiative which makes developers life easier by setting a ready to use image including best available tools.

-Laurent Laffont for Pharocast: quality screencasts that illustrates various facets of http://pharocasts.blogspot.com/

Congratulations Damien and Laurent!
