To get the ball rolling, here's a list culled from the prior exchange we had. Let's see if we can stick to our words today and knock this out before next meeting! Expand it, trim it, word-it-up. :) Thanks.
- Squeak release 4.5 with the initial alpha implementation of Environments. - Jenkins-bsaed automated builds and testing of the Squeak image. - Tim's new alpha-release of Scratch on the Rasberry Pi was mentioned in Ebon Upton's January 14th blog. http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/5742. - Craig presented the "State of Squeak" presentation at FOSDEM in Brussels. - Eliot is about to release his first alpha of "Spur", the successor to the vaunted "Cog". Spur will further improve the raw peformance of Squeak applications by another significant factor, and paving the way for 64-bit Squeak VM expected in 2015.

‘based' not ‘bsaed’. Unless there is a new word out there…
- Tim's new alpha-release of Scratch on the Rasberry Pi was mentioned
in Ebon Upton's January 14th blog. http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/5742.
Could also mention the talks I gave on the Scratch updating at STIC’13 in Phoenix last june and at the THINK conference in Santa Cruz last November. How about - "A new and performance improved version of the MIT Scratch system, as originally implemented in Squeak, but aimed at the Raspberry Pi was presented at talks for the ’13 Smalltalk Industry Council conference in Phoenix in July, at the THINK conference in Santa Cruz in November and publicly announced by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in January; see http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/5742"
- Craig presented the "State of Squeak" presentation at FOSDEM in Brussels.
Is there anything online to point to?

If they’re after ‘up-to-end-Feb’ news it should probably be more like 'Eliot started work on..'

Thanks. Nice videos. The second one on Spoon is unfortunately a little hard to listen to because network traffic is interfering with microphone.
Cheers, Karl
