Yes then you can approach Universities to do demoes of Squeak, make n=

drink beers....

Then may be esug could help you a bit to have some start up money so =
you can
buy cd to copy and distribute them. Pay some food. You can ask compan=
ies to
sponsor you then.=20

That's why this is important that guys in companies attend ESUG this =
way we
have money that we can spend to promote Smalltalk.

Try to find a University wiling to teach smalltalk. This is the way t=
o start
then we can send somebody. Because coming for coming is not worth the=
 money
spend because we could do something else with that.
