"Mark A. Schwenk" mas@wellthot.com is widely believed to have written:
We've been talking about Squeak Foundation as the name of the organization, but Dan Ingalls mentioned the name Open Smalltalk recently on the Squeak list.
What do others think of Open Smalltalk Foundation vs. Squeak Foundation?
The chief problem I see with any name too far from The Squeak Foundation is the expectation raising. Open Smalltalk Foundation strongly suggests a pan-Smalltalk organisation; this is not what I understand we are intending.
