In case Squeak isn't accepted, we can reuse the SoC Project Ideas for SummerTalk. In case Squeak is accepted, SummerTalk can supplement SoC by funding additional projects. Giovanni

Hi Martin, I need your friend's name and the google accounts for the both of you. Also, if you have any ideas for a SoC project, you should propose them now. Giovanni

That would be cool. Generally speaking, there are many technologies from Croquet that could be backported to the main development line of Squeak. I'll ask Andreas for some ideas. Giovanni

Hi all, I've completed a first, partial draft of Squeak's application for mentoring organization. Still missing: mentors list, ideas list, students application template. If you have any comments and feedback, please post them. Later this afternoon I will reply to original messages and fill in the mentors and ideas lists. Giovanni

Hi Stef, I seem to recall that either ESUG or the Squeak Foundation tried to apply for the 2006 edition of SoC. Could you please tell us how it went and why exactly we were not accepted? Giovanni

Hi all, and thank you again for your interest in this effort. Now that a mailing list has been created, I've took the liberty of subscribing you all to it. I've also created a wiki page: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5935 . I'll reply to the messages you sent me since last friday, so that we can get a discussion started and application form ready ;-) Ciao, Giovanni
