Hello everyone,
This year we hope to hold two Squeakfest conferences, one in Brasil and another in the United States.
While US details are still pending, we're very pleased to announce Squeakfest Brasil!
WHEN: July 24th and 25th, 2009
WHERE: Porto Alegre, Brasil
WHO: Hosted by UFRGS and Pensamento Digital
WHAT: a teacher-oriented, hands-on conference, showcasing Squeak Etoys use throughout Brasil and the rest of South & Central America
LANGUAGES: Portuguese and Spanish, with English translators
We've timed our conference so you may also attend the 9th World Conference on Computers in Education (WCCE):
WHEN: July 27th to July 31st, 2009
WHERE: Bento Gonçalves, Brasil
LANGUAGE: English
Transportation from Porto Alegre will be arranged as part of WCCE registration.
--
Several from Squeakland and Viewpoints will be presenting at both conferences. We encourage others from our community to consider presenting and to help us spread the word to colleagues and friends.
We'll be sending a "call for presentations" in March and will also be launching the conference website at that time.

And probably a gazillion other conferences. Which is not too much of a problem because the target group is different.
And, maybe you can make it to Squeakfest California instead :)

This is too bad, Randy -- however, to be honest, Squeakfest Brasil is looking to assemble and host a greater number of teacher/Etoy users and curriculum developers and perhaps fewer "software developers" or those who may be planning to participate at OSCON.
Bear in mind, we are also hoping to have a gathering in Los Angeles in August and will be posting additional information on that soon.
best regards, Kim

Hello!
We are very happy with the opportunity to hold Sqeuakfest in Porto Alegre, it is an honor for our local team and a great possibility to strength Etoys local community.
We plan to share the work done at Luciana de Abreu school (with XOs) and other local activities and research, and we are looking forward to hear from foreign presenters what they have been doing lately!
Because we are still on summer vacation (university and schools) we couldnt define all details yet,
Call for presentations and more definitions will be announced in March,
Best,
Marta Voelcker
