Dave Thomas is scheduled to deliver a keynote address ("Smalltalk Next? ...) Wednesday at 9:00am. I assume that's where he announce the Foundation.

I've heard tell of an announcement at the Smalltalk Solutions 2001 Conference of a Squeak Foundation to be supported by Disney, IBM and Dave Thomas (whatever that means). Is this correct and does anyone have more info? I assume this support Squeak like the Apache Foundation supports Apache!
What a great rumor! That would be a interesting step forward, though I don't know what the foundation would do, since SqC are mostly on the Disney payroll...
Presumably, "Dave Thomas" would be the Dave Thomas of IBM/OTI/Carleton U. fame, rather than the outgoing IBM PC Systems Group VP of the same name...

Or the CEO of Wendy's. :-) Though Squeak definitely lets you have control of your burgers in the way Wendy's does.
