Bonjour,
Tout juste inscrit sur la liste.
Je m'occupe de l'Espace culture multimédia de Poitiers. Le réseau des ECM a
été fondé en 1999 par le ministère de la culture afin de développer des
activités autour de la création et de la diffusion numérique. Il rassemble
une centaine de lieux en France, dont des médiathèques, des lieux de
spectacles vivants et deux centres de culture scientifique (dont le notre).
A Poitiers, nous creusons tout particulièrement une les recherches et les
expérimentations autour de l'utilisation de l'interactivité et du temps réel
au service des créateurs/acteurs (par exemple l'utilisation de capteurs
connectés à des langages "graphiques" comme MAX et Pure Data pour mixer de la
vidéo, du son ou tout autre document numérique).
Dans cette optique qui privilégie la programmation aux outils tous faits (et à
effets genre Flash), je me dis que Squeak est le langage idéal pour commencer
à travailler avec des enfants, notamment les E-toys.
Questions:
- quelles expériences dans ce secteur ?
- il y a t-il des compétences locales (picto-charentaises) ?
Bien cordialement

This year again ESUG http://esug2003.esug.org/ is organizing a student
volunteer program!
You are a student and you want to attend ESUG (the first European
Conference on Smalltalk)? ESUG has again a student volunteer program so
you
can get the conference for free
(http://esug2003.esug.org/registration.htm).
Your duties will be low and you will have to help a bit the local
organizers.
ESUG will not pay the travel but the conference will be free and
possibly the
hosting will be also free depending on the number of students.
For the students that cannot afford the traveling cost we are setting
up a
*private* sponsoring program, some companies are ready to sponsor some
students.
But pay attention the places are limited and do not wait the last
minute to
register. Student volunteers will be notified the 14 of July.
To register to the student volunteer program please send an email to
nano(a)essi.fr **and**
ducasse(a)iam.unibe.ch. Please explain **clearly** your situation and
your motivation (fill the template below)
For the other remember that the early registration is the 15 of July

The European Smalltalk User Group invites you to the Smalltalk
Joint Event
11th ESUG Smalltalk Conference &
ESUG Research Track
Tuesday, August 25, - Friday, August 29, 2003
&
Camp Smalltalk
Saturday, August 23 - Sunday, August 24, 2001
Bled, Slovenia
http://esug2003.esug.org/
========================================================================
GENERAL INFORMATION
===================
For the 11th consecutive year, the European Smalltalk User Group
organizes a Smalltalk Conference to bring together Smalltalk users
from both academia and industry in a friendly atmosphere. As always
the attendants will enjoy tutorials, workshops and demonstrations on
various Smalltalk related subjects. New this year is that the talks
are scheduled primarily in the morning and that the afternoon focuses
on concrete collaborations between participants and workshops.
Continuing a strong tradition in organizing Smalltalk events for
Smalltalk practitioners, this year promises to be very exiting. ESUG
organizes a Smalltalk Joint Event comprised of Camp Smalltalk,
Advanced Seminars and a Research track:
- An official (and free) Camp Smalltalk, starting the week-end
before and continuing the rest of the week.
- The Advanced Seminars, where invited speakers and technical
presenters show concrete applications and research using Smalltalk.
- ESUG Research Track: an academic research track with
top-of-the-line program committee. A separate call for paper was
issued for this event, which is attached to this mail at the bottom.
All these exiting events will take place in the last week of August,
between the 23rd and 29th.
As always, we cannot make this work without contributions from the
actual Smalltalk practitioners. Therefore we invite people to submit
proposals to present papers (both academic or industrial,
technical
or experience report), or to exhibit. Together with invited speakers
and Campers this promises to be another exciting Smalltalk event.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROSPECTIVE SPEAKERS
=====================================
Prospective speakers must clearly explain the format they would like
to use (tutorial, experience report, workshop or demo). Each
proposal must include a valid e-mail address and an abstract of
around 200 words. All proposals have to be sent to Roel Wuyts
(wuyts(a)iam.unibe.ch) AND Stephane Ducasse (ducasse(a)iam.unibe.ch), in
plain ASCII pasted in the body of the e-mail (NOT attached).
Hot topics include, but are not limited to,
- web service applications using Smalltalk
- experience using eXtreme Programming
- distributed applications
- new Smalltalk implementations and optimizations
- Smalltalk Development Tools
- Language improvements or enhancements
Exhibitors or sponsors should directly contact the ESUG board for more
information (esug-info(a)esug.org).
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
=====================
The Conference takes place in Bled, in Slovenia. Bled is a city in the
north west of Slovenia, under mountains. It is near the Austrian
