Dear Stef, "... it was fun". It would be nice if you could share the fun. Do you have a video, podcast, presentation? Or could you write something up that would help us arguing with other priests of "temples of type systems" when promoting Smalltalk? TIA Helge -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: esug-list-bounces@lists.esug.org [mailto:esug-list-bounces@lists.esug.org] Im Auftrag von Stéphane Ducasse Gesendet: Donnerstag, 5. Juli 2012 21:30 An: Damien Cassou Cc: ESUG Mailing list Betreff: Re: [Esug-list] ESUG considers sponsoring the Pharo Consortium I propose that we/you talk at ESUG about this point. BTW here are the old list of actions done by ESUG. http://www.esug.org/wiki/pier/Promotion/PastActions We should refresh it because we have done much more since then. Like lectures in the temple of the type systems: university of Turino ;D - it was fun. Stef On Jul 4, 2012, at 5:01 PM, Damien Cassou wrote:

The ESUG board currently considers sponsoring the Pharo Consortium (see http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/pharo-project/2012-June/066881.html). We believe that Pharo is important for the Smalltalk ecosystem.

Note that ESUG is promoting Smalltalk in general and this action is in the same vein as previous actions such as sponsoring local Smalltalk groups (FAST, Catalan, Russian, ...), Smalltalk dialects (SqueakFoundation, etoy), development projects (Mars, DBXTalk, DrGeo II, SqueakVirtual Machine cleaning), and books (Seaside and GNU book).

Before deciding, the board would like to gather feedback from the community. We want to be clear that there is a strict distinction between ESUG and Pharo (both consortium and association) even if some people are involved in both.

What do you think?
