Hi, I'm running for the SOB membership again. Just like last year, my goal is to keep Squeak moving forward, so it can become an even better Smalltalk. Cheers, Levente

[ELECTION] Running again
by Bert Freudenberg 13 Apr '12

13 Apr '12

I'd be happy to serve on the Squeak Oversight Board again. My main goal is to keep the Squeak community a friendly place where we are working together on evolving Squeak as an excellent computing environment. I myself am mostly concerned with the Etoys children's authoring system, and want to bring its fork at squeakland.org closer to the squeak.org version. Keeping in touch with the larger Smalltalk community is also important to me. I went to the ESUG conferences in the last years, and met with others whenever I could. I'm glad most of the current Board members are willing to continue for another year. But I'm also looking forward to see who else steps up this year! Be brave! :) - Bert -

Running for the Board
by Colin Putney 12 Apr '12

Hi all, I'd like to announce that I'm running for the Squeak Oversight Board again this year. I'm pretty busy, just like everybody, but I have really enjoyed being on the board this past year. I think that technically, Squeak is in better shape than ever, with good prospects for the future. But as a community we're struggling a bit, and I think this next year will be crucial for us. I'd like to do my bit to help keep the community vibrant. Colin

Is people updating from trunk??? If so, am I the only one having trouble?
by Casimiro de Almeida Barreto 12 Apr '12

Hello, Having solved that problem around moving methods from and to Metacello, now I experienced another interesting thing: today I updated an image from trunk (linux, SqueakVM) and system enters "eternal loop" for any given action (like: Smalltalk snapshot: true andQuit: false) (like: Compiler recompileAll) like installing anything via MonticelloBrowser... It is quite hard to understand what is going on, since system becomes unresponsive and only thing to do is to issue a killall -TERM squeakvm... Best regards, CdAB

Croquet is back...even if not in smalltalk
by Chris Cunnington 11 Apr '12

>IMHO the biggest problem with VW technologies (except in areas related >to entertainment video games) is that nobody is capable of answering >that old "where is the money?" I'm not sure that question applies here. Lockhead Martin can afford a few programmers. More interesting to me is how they open sourced it. No mailing list. No contact information. I'd like to hear something about whom they'd like to get a response from. Chris

Found inside index.html:      Hmmm... I wonder if they worry about being sued? Probably not. Chris
