Hi Andrew

We have a team full of Smalltalker and some Squeakers like nathanael that built Genie the new handrecognition character.

I invited John maloney but I suspect that Alan will never let him come. We can host you we have place, computer and fun. People around speak english, Switzerland is in the middle of europe: 4,3h by train from Paris, 6 to Florence, 6 to Nice....

I would really like to host you for your sabbatical.

Oscar and some students are building picola a distributed oo language for scripting written in Java and Squeak. I'm and the rest of the team are working on reengineering. programm understanding....

look at http:/www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/ click alos on our wiki Tell me if you want to know more.

I hope that this is not an inappropriate request to place on this list -- if it is, please flame me privately ;-)

I'm a professor at the Oregon Graduate Institute, and my interest in Squeak has been growing steadily as I do more and more with it. But there is no Squeak "community" here at OGI. I have a sabbatical coming up next academic year (October 2001 onwards), and I would like to spend some part of it doing something that deepens my knowledge of Squeak, and hopefully contributes to the Squeak environment. Oh--and is fun!

Most likely, this would be some not-for-profit activity, perhaps one that draws on my interests in distributed systems, and contributes to the Squeak source pool; for this I would expect to get at least partial salary support from my University. But I would also be interested in doing some commercial O-O development in Squeak, particularly as part of an XP team.

See my web page at http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~black for more information about

me.

If you might be interested in talking further about my participation on your project, please contact me (off the list) mailto:black@cse.ogi.edu

Although October seems like a long way off, I do need to make plans fairly quickly with the University. At this point I'm looking for expressions of interest rather than a firm commitment.
