"In 1982, Atari Alan Kay collaborated with Bob Stein, who had consulted
on the Encyclopedia Britannica, to develop concepts for an "Intelligent
Encyclopedia." They then commissioned Disney illustrator Glenn Keane to
illustrate their ideas."
I had to read that twice: "Atari Alan Kay".
Like "Wild Bill Hickok"?
Interesting stuff, at any rate.

Dear Smalltalkers,
Wonderful news, we got 13 "slots" from Google, that is, 13 students and
their proposals will be accepted for Google and they will receive
stipendiums if they will do their projects right. More exactly, part of
4500 USD immediately, part after interim evaluation and part at
successful finish of their projects.
We have currently 18 paired projects, that is, projects paired with one
student among their many proposals. You can see that from project table,
see which are currently accepted (column Acc.):
http://gsoc2012.esug.org/projects?view=projectTable
Now mentors need to review and score those 18 project proposals to
indicate which are the best among all that nice proposals and to come
with number down to 13. This will happen until next Friday 20.April,
when we will finally decide, which 13 students to accept. Google will
then officially confirm them in few days after.
Best regards
Janko & Carla

Pharo mailing list? VW mailing list? VA mailing list?
Nope.
YCombinator. Right now.

It may be that people are a tad more aware of us what we do than we
suppose.

In the working copy browser's repoisitory list, make
load/save repositories & flush cached versions available
when no repository is selected (since these apply to all
repositories). Also group them at the end of the menu
when a repository is selected to indicate they apply to all.
Add a line to be nice.

Hi all!
(This day has been hectic for me so sorry for the lateness of things)
All candidates have now announced their candidacy on squeak-dev and this
is the final list in announcement order:
-Craig Latta
-Chris Muller
-Randal Schwartz
-Chris Cunnington
-Colin Putney
-Bert Freudenberg
-Edgar De Cleene
-Levente Uzonyi
The board normally consists of 7 members and since the current board has
not changed this the election will proceed and produce a ranked list so
that one of the candidates will be left out.
The election will start within the hour and ballots will be
automatically sent out. This delay in starting the election will not
change the deadline of the election, it will end as advertised earlier, see:
