We'll have a London Smalltalkers meeting on the 12th of March to meet up with Avi Bryant who's in town. I'm not sure if there's enough interest in having the regular one on the 5th as well. Bryce

Introduction
by Steve Wart 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

Hi everyone, I just joined the list and thought I'd drop an introductory note. Some of you may know me from the #smalltalk irc channel. I have been using VisualWorks and GemStone since about 1993 (so I'm unfortunately biased to some of the older ways of doing things - like Envy). I'm originally from Vancouver, Canada. I moved to Zurich in 2001 to work with UBS on their Settlements and Confirmation system with the DBO team. DBO is a VW/GS-based system and the team is very tight-knit and experienced. I really enjoyed working there. I gradually started doing more project management in 2003, working on .NET and Java development projects. I relocated to London in September 2006. I was working on applications for credit derivatives operations and exotic interest rate derivatives until November last year when I was laid off due to the downturn in the credit business. In the meantime I've decided to get back into more practical (!) things and have been getting up to speed with Seaside and GemStone/64. I'm looking forward to getting together on the 5th and the 8th and finding out what everyone is up to. In addition to e-mail and my mobile you can get in touch with me on skype, facebook and linkedin. Regards, Steve Wart m: 07517 465 943

Hi all, first of all, thanks to everyone involved for last Monday's meeting - it was very interesting for me to meet the local Ruby community for talks and beers. I'm sending this message because I wanted to invite you to our Smalltalk UK meeting that will be held here in London on Saturday March 8th. The event will run all day, and includes both an Introduction to Smalltalk session for those who don't know the language and more advanced sessions by the local Smalltalk aficionados. You can find more details, including how to register for the event, on this web page: http://www.xpdeveloper.net/xpdwiki/Wiki.jsp?page=SmalltalkUK20080308 Feel free to contact me for any doubts or questions. Ciao, Giovanni

Smalltalk Gathering next Wed (9th)
by Bruce Badger 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hi all, Just a bit of a reminder that the regular London Smalltalk gathering will be happening next Wednesday, 9th Feb. The venue (unless something drastic happens) will be the Counting House, as usual: http://fancyapint.com/pubs/pub1461.html Does anyone have anything that want to give a brief talk about? Note that this will need to be a huddle around a beer-stained table peering at a laptop screen type of thing. See you there, Bruce -- Make the most of your skills - with OpenSkills http://www.openskills.org/
