It would be interesting to present Squeak and discuss its evolution  
process.
Remember ESUG gives 100Euro for each published article about  
Smalltalk :-)

> Dear ObjectWeb Community

> As you know, the Open Source Software (OSS) phenomenon is gaining  
> momentum and is increasingly viewed as an alternative to  
> traditional software development. Indeed, OSS projects have  
> generated some of the most sophisticated development in computer  
> technology (Such as Apache, Linux and PHP) and have become present  
> in large technology firms such as IBM and Sun that have become  
> major supporters of this phenomenon.
>
> In such context, decision makers at different levels and in a  
> variety of fields, including professionals, researchers and  
> teachers need access to the most current information about the  
> concepts, issues, trends and technologies of this emerging phenomenon.
>
> To meet this need, currently we are in the process of editing a  
> book entitled “Successful OSS Project Design and Implementation:  
> Requirements, Tools, Social Designs, Reward Structures and  
> Coordination Methods” that will provide comprehensive coverage and  
> definitions of the most important issues, concepts, trends and  
> technologies in OSS. This important new publication will be  
> distributed worldwide among academic and professional institutions  
> and will be instrumental in providing professionals, researchers,  
> scholars, and students with access to the latest knowledge related  
> to OSS.
>
> To ensure that this publication has the most current and relevant  
> coverage of all topics related to OSS, we are asking both  
> professionals involved in these projects and scholars, well-known  
> for their particular area of research, to contribute short articles  
> of 3,500-5,000 words on any of the following topics:
> OSS trends and foundations, OSS development, OSS Selection, OSS  
> cases and applications.
>
> We would like to invite you to consider submitting on any of the  
> above topics for this upcoming book by submitting a proposal (two  
> single-spaced pages) description of your proposed topic to me or to  
> one of the book editors no later than October 31, 2006.  You will  
> then have until February 15, 2007 to prepare your full submission  
> (3,500-5,000 words in length). Further details concerning the call  
> for chapter proposals and the book details can be found at <http:// 
> www.supdeco-montpellier.com/Formulaires/OSS/>
>  All submitted articles will undergo a blind, peer-review process  
> upon its receipt.
