This is a message to Brian and everyone else who has done some work  
with mobile/embedded/PDA/tablet Squeak-

Are you folks interested in maybe applying to do a presentation for  
this?  I'm sending this to the list because I'm not sure if it would  
be relevant to this sort of conference- is SqueakFest really centered  
toward education, eToys, etc or is there room for the rest of the  
Squeak community to present some of our more "grown up" work?  If  
there is, I'd really like to show off some of what has been done,  
both my code and how I use it as well as the work of other folks,  
including but not limited to Faure and Genie.

If you are interested in working with me on putting together a  
presentation like this, whether or not you'd be able to make it to  
Chicago, email me!  Even if some folks couldn't make it, I'm thinking  
of going to SqueakFest and could present the work of others who have  
done some mobile Squeak work.

Thanks!

Regards,
Aaron
