Hi all,
Scratch is open-source and written in Squeak Smalltalk. A version of Scratch is available on XO OLPC.
Maybe we could try to organize something in Ha Noi ? Several alternatives are possible for a Scratch Day:
- invite educators to discover Scratch
- presentation of local scratch projects
- informal gathering of Scratchers.
Any Scratchers (or wanabee scratchers) in Ha Noi ? Viet Nam ?
We some friends, we are working on porting Scratch to a more modern version of Squeak, called Pharo (because we don't like green interfaces and we want to open Scratch to code contributions from people who are working on using Scratch with external devices like arduino). We already have some portion of the software working. So i'm willing to do wild Scratch coding sessions :-)

Dear Serge,
Oh, I couldn't believe I have missed your email!!! I support the idea af a Scratch day in Hanoi. This is a good chance for promote Smalltalk Squeak/Pharo. Also, it's a great chance for me to get my hands dirty with Smalltalk again. I haven't used Smalltalk for a while.
What's your proposed activities for a Scratch day in Hanoi? What about PR & Communication? How should we do some promotion on events like Coding Dojo, Hackfest, etc.?
Cheers, Yang
