eToys article on Linux.com
by Milan Zimmermann 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Linux.com published Joe Barr's great introductory article about eToys. While the article concentrates on OLPC, it also provides instructions how to download and install eToys for users who do not own OLPC. The second part is devoted to a detail description of how to create a new project and where to get help (Suggests Squeak Beginners list, I would say squeakland(a)squeakland.org, or etoys(a)laptop.org may be a good Cc option). Article is at http://www.linux.com/articles/130014?

Summary e-mail distribution
by Michael Haupt 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Dear News team, in the light of the recent razzmatazz on the Seaside list, I would like to propose that we restrict the default distribution of Weekly Squeak Summary e-mails to the announcements, squeak-dev and beginners lists. We could think about something like target-specific Summaries, e.g., a collection of all Seaside-related news items posted to the Seaside list, VM-related news to vm-dev, and so forth. I would think of this as a service from the News team to the various (sub-)communities, but I am unsure whether this would be regarded as unsolicited albeit on-topic noise. Best, Michael

Squeak News team Report - Feb 2008
by Ron Teitelbaum 02 Mar '08

02 Mar '08

Hello Everybody, This is your monthly News report for Feb 2008. A cold snap has locked the east coast. There has been lots of snow and ice, but things are starting to thaw. I saw some of my bees flying just the other day so spring is on the way. And now the news: We had 13,004 hits for the leap month of February. The one missing day from (29 instead of 30) is not enough to account for the drop in numbers. It must be the lack of good pictures from Craig. We are down 2000 hits from last month and 25,000 from the month of PARC pictures. Our top articles were The Golight: Tool Support for Test-Drive <http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/2008/02/07/the-golight-tool-support-for-t est-driven-development/> 3,398 hits Qwaq releases Hydra multi-core Squeak VM <http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/2008/02/21/qwaq-releases-hydra-multi-core -squeak-vm/> 2,329 hits Hashing in Smalltalk <http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/2008/02/25/hashing-in-smalltalk/> 769 hits IANAL - But they are! SFLC Guide to FOSS <http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/ianal-but-they-are-sflc-guide- to-foss-legal-issues/> 580 hits We had 9 articles in February, which is not bad. I would like to thank Klaus Witzel for helping to find good stories to post. That has been very helpful to get our numbers up. Like Klaus if you have suggestions for things you would like to see posted, please feel free to drop the News Team a line. On the Political front, the Squeak Election Team Headed by Göran Krampe has done a wonderful job getting the Squeak Foundation Board 2008 Election organized and encouraging participation from both the candidates and the community. The News team looks forward to posting an article about the results. Please don't forget to vote! Voting helps to show your support for the Squeak Foundation and all the hard work that the Board does for the community. You can find out more about the election at: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6025 Happy Squeaking, I'm Ron Teitelbaum your Squeak News Team Leader. Have a good day!
