Dear Squeakers,

welcome to the The Weekly Squeak Summary, a weekly report on what's going on in the world of Squeak based on the Weekly Squeak blog.

It's been another quiet week. Still, there is a highlight that affects most of us.

VOTE! - http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/2006/11/15/vote/

The upcoming Squeak Foundation board elections require the community's participation. That is, not only should everybody cast their vote, but they also ought to think about the candidates can be interrogated with regard to their particular views on a board membership. A catalogue of questions is to be posted on the Weekly Squeak blog. Please contribute!

Here's the summary of the other three news items that we've had.

1. Magma Interview with Chris Muller - http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/2006/11/15/magma-interview-with-chris-mull...

2. Deploying Seaside - http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/2006/11/17/deploying-seaside/

A recent thread on the Seaside mailing list discusses in detail how to deploy a Seaside application. Amongst others, there is information about image versions to use, and running images in headless mode (but connected to a VNC server for remote administration).

3. Squeak in Extremadura - http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/2006/11/17/squeak-in-extremadura/
