ESUG'2002 Student Volunteer Program

You are a student and you want to attend ESUG (the first European 
Conference on Smalltalk)? ESUG has now a student volunteer program so you 
can get the conference for free. 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 and the hosting will be free.

Pay attention the places are limited.

GENERAL INFORMATION

For the 10th consecutive year, the European Smalltalk User Group is
organizing a Smalltalk Conference to bring together Smalltalk users from
both academia and industry in a friendly atmosphere.  As always, the
attendents will enjoy tutorials, workshops and demonstrations on various
Smalltalk related subjects.  Continuing a strong tradition in organizing
Smalltalk events for Smalltalk developers, this year promises to be very
exciting.

All these exciting events will take place in the last week of August, at 
the
Ecole des Mines de Douai in Douai, France (1h30 away from Brussels by car
and 1h10 away from Paris by train). The Conference takes place at Douai in
France. Early information can be found at www.esug.org or at
http://www.iutc3.unicaen.fr:8000/esug2002/1.

ESUG organizes a Smalltalk Joint Event comprised of: Camp Smalltalk,
Smalltalk Conference, a Free Software Day, a Teachers Forum and Smalltalk
Doctoral Symposium!
      - An official (and free) Camp Smalltalk (notice that it starts on the
      saturday before so that Campers can be productive and stay during the
      week). ESUG will sponsor the food.
      - The Smalltalk Doctoral Symposium, where students doing Master and 
PhD
      theses have the opportunity to present and discuss their research work
      with industrial and academic Smalltalk experts.
      - Finally the Advanced Seminars:
      Similar to last year, we will offer two tracks: invited talks which
      should interest everyone, and the technical presentations, which are
      more specicalized. Dave Thomas (the OTI founder) and Dave Simmons 
(SmallScript 	creator) are the keynotes speakers

This year:
      - a free Software day will be organized around GnuSmalltalk,
      PocketSmalltalk, and Squeak (contact Serge.Stinckwich at info.unicaen.fr)
.
      - a Teachers Forum will be organized to share teaching experiences. We
      are looking for experience reports. We are looking for teachers to 
report their 	experiences using Smalltalk (contact ducasse at iam.unibe.ch)
      - ESUG will support the Squeak Foundation by donating 10% of its
     benefits.

Exhibitors or sponsors should directly contact Stephane Ducasse
(ducasse at iam.unibe.ch) or Roel Wuyts (wuyts at iam.unibe.ch) for more
information.


The conference fees has been lower to their minimum:
		300 Eur for companies and 150 € for academics.
The hosting will be excellent with internet connection in the rooms:
		accomodation: 50 or 60 € per night
