[Newbies] what no Smalltalk at OOPSLA2006?

[stéphane ducasse]

People believe that Smalltalk is old, slow.... so after a while this  
is boring to fight with them.
If you want to see a lot of Smalltalk, apply to the student volunteer  
program of ESUG next year
and you will get a crazy conference for free with Smalltalk all day  
long.
