Smalltalk Solutions: Just wondering how the wxSqueak talk went

[Rob Gayvert]

The turnout for the conference was on the low side, and not much on 
Squeak this year. John McIntosh headed up a BOF on Squeak/Tweak, and 
maybe a dozen or so people showed up. Most folks were from the VW and VA 
worlds (IBM had a couple of awkward presentations on their "transition" 
strategy). Still, it was fun, and good to swap stories with other 
Smalltalkers.

The talk was rather uneventful. James Robertson did a good job (except 
for the horrible picture) of capturing much of it on his blog at

I had a chat with Eliot Miranda from Cincom afterwards. He was very 
complimentary, and had some good questions about the handling of 
callbacks and constants. They're dealing with similar issues with their 
new GUI direction (Pollack/Chagall), and also with their work embedding 
ObjectStudio in VW.

Other people I talked with had positive things to say, but nobody was 
ready to port their apps yet ;)
