Hi all
Just a small email to let you know that ESUG'2003 http://esug2003.esug.org/ was exciting and that we will prepare soon the next edition. Pay attention the dates will certainly change a bit to be in early september (Some of you we have no reason anymore not to attend ;). We got 92 participants. Besides the regular attendees, we got a lot of newcomers this year. ESUG also sponsored 15 student volunteers from all over the world. The conference avenue was simply beautiful. We got 5 excellent invited talks from Corporate Marketing, Embedded-Smalltalk in 100k, New Tools to Smalltalk for .Net. We got for the first time an academic track and the articles are about to be publish in the Journal Computer Languages. We got also a lot of demos made by the attendees: Monticello, Ginsu, Garden, BrowserUnit, CodeCrawler, GNUSmalltalk, StepTalk... This was great.
Please have a look at for a summary of the talks: http://wiki.eranova.si/esug/Talk+Notes+And+Slides
For the next edition we want to have more *experience reports* to show that **YOU** use Smalltalk for successful solutions in industry, we plan also to add a *business track* where customers can testimony why they use Smalltalk. We are looking for *tutorials*.
ESUG will rethink completely its web site so that the community can be in contact with itself. Be prepared to fill our new wiki with all the link to your user groups or mailing-list.
The ESUG Board [|]
