Hi All,

thank you Stef for this piece of information.

I will subscribe as individual member.

Let's say, you're doing a good job, I enjoy a lot using Pharo, that let's me permit do/use funny and usefull things, teaching students, make some research software prototypes, etc. I have to say I would probably not succeed in convincing my university staff to subscribe to the consortium. I personnaly vote for that, I will try and will do my best but I'am not optimistic :-( I understand that the fees are intended for enterprises or organizations that aim to make business arround and/or with Pharo. I and my lab are not in such a perspective. Maybe I would succeed in convincing IAE director for some hundred euros for supporting your work...not for 1000 or more. Nevertheless, I will try.

Thanks there is also the sponsoring possibility and the association can provide a bill for a pharo "distribution" So you can try to play with different budgets.

All the best,

Herve
