This sounds like a good way to get some press for squeak/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.
>>
>>Please forward your proposal to Belbaly Nassim at n.belbaly @ supco- 
>>montpellier.fr, or one of other editors Benbya Hind at: h.benbya @  
>>supco-montpellier.fr and Régis Messonnier rmeissonier @ supco- 
>>montpellier.fr
>>  the book editors, at no later than October 31, 2006. You will be  
>>notified about the status of your proposed topics by November 15,  2006. 
>>This book is tentatively scheduled for publishing by Gower  Publishing 
>>Limited, www.gowerpub.com in Winter 2007.
>>
>>If you have any questions or concerns, or if I can be of any  assistance, 
>>please let me know. I look forward to hearing from you  soon.

>>Kind Regards.
