GSoC 2010 mentoring organization!!!!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi Smalltalkers!<BR><BR>Maybe you are not aware of what our
selection to this year GSoC really means for the Smalltalk community. And I
wasn't aware completely until few hours. Just to give you an example, even
such big organizations like Ruby or PHP where not selected. From this
viewpoint you can see what we have achieved. <BR><BR>Some people said
and still says that Smalltalk is old and that it is dead. Ok, we have been
selected by the major Informatics and Software company all over the world.
<BR><BR>The point is that ESUG and the Smalltalk community was selected
because of the seriousness mixed with passion of all the application, project
and ideas. We have an incredible high quality list of ideas and mentors.
<BR><BR>We have a unique opportunity to show the rest of the world why we love
Smalltalk, why it is much better than other alternatives, etc. So, we invite
all of you to make this happens. <BR><BR>Thanks to everybody for all the
congratulations and nice words!!!<BR><BR>Your GSoC admins<BR><BR><A

are incredibly proud to announce that ESUG was selected for the GSoC 2010.
We have a long list of wonderful projects, mentors and a cool website.
<BR><BR>We want to thank you to all the people who help us publishing
project ideas, giving feedback on the submit text or the English,
etc.<BR><BR>For the moment, we don't know the slots (amount of projects)
that we will receive.<BR><BR>Don't worry. We will contact you again very
soon to let you know the following steps.<BR><BR>Now, prepare yourself. We
have to show the rest of the world why we love Smalltalk so much
