<p>Dear all!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>It's now one and a half year since I met Smalltalk and Squeak. And I am convinced that it was the best thing that could have happened to me! I am very grateful that this beautiful ecosystem exists, a haven of simple expressivity and usability, of liveness
and explorability, and a haven of collaborativity. And I am even more grateful that still in 2019, where more and more hip, short-lived environments & languages attract your attention (of which, certainly, many may be smart and useful, but most definitely,
hardly anyone will come close to Squeak in terms of abstraction and modifiability) - even today, you are being here and keep contributing to Squeak!</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt">I would like to thank you for all the energy you daily </span><span style="font-size:12pt">put into </span><span style="font-size:12pt">development and maintenance of Squeak, and for being such a great community.</span><br>

<p><span style="font-size:12pt"></laudation> ;-)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt">This year, I had the idea to celebrate Squeak with a small collection of
<b>XmasDecorations.</b> These include several small modifications of the Trunk image, with the aim to bring the Christmas spirit into our favorite system. They're nothing special, but I think they are a good example for the advantages of Squeak's universal
extensibility:</span></p>

<div>The graphics were created in cooperation with a few fellow students and a lot of Google; but in the main, I'm an enthusiast in terms of software design, not of graphics design, so don't expect an artistic masterpiece :P</div>
