- all present except Levente Uzonyi

- Randal is talking to a person at a university about hosting a Squeak event in Los Angeles. He is also talking to the event managers of the YAPC::NA 2012 [1] in Madison, Wisconsin held last week about their template for running a conference. (Perl is also working on its own virtual machine called Rakudo.org [2] as part of Perl 6)

- Chris M. will be sending the revised election procedure to the SFC

- Colin will be getting the voter list and posting it on the Squeak Wiki

- Alan Kay gave a ››nice talk at the ACM's Turing Centenary Celebration on Friday. He used VPRI's Frank [3] (as in “Frankenstein's monster›”) research prototype, which is built on top of Squeak 4.3. To see the 20 minute video, choose “Extracting Energy From The Turing Tarpit››” from the playlist at the ACM's webcast [4].

- still waiting on some news before we decide where the home of the new Squeak server will be

- as source control has been a topic of discussion, Gilad Bracha just made an interesting post [5] on the topic
