A very nice post about the Magic of Smalltalk .

Only six days left to the Smalltalk Party in Brussels ! I'll be there, and more interesting people , too. You should come, too!

Steve is posting screen clips of progress in Sophie (a.k.a. the Future of the Book), which is developed in Squeak with a Tweak UI. It's looking nicer and nicer every week.

The first-ever elections are held in the Squeak community. Candidates have to be nominated by February 17, same deadline for getting certified at SqP if you want to vote.

Ted Shab posted a job offer to the ECOOP list. Part of it was this: We are currently building a [...] testbed for user-experience exploration in Squeak (Smalltalk) (really). The resulting framework will be used by the various NASA centers [...] to build distributed, multi-mission systems for planning and executing a variety of NASA missions, including robotic (e.g. Mars rovers & deep- space probes) and manned (e.g. the new Moon/Mars exploration effort, including the Crew Exploration Vehicle currently being designed). Andreas Raab commented : FWIW, this project uses Croquet and Tweak. If you ever wanted to work with a bunch of really sharp guys this is definitely a place to consider. Sounds cool :)

The next Croquet release, code-named "Hedgehog", will be centered around a real replicated object model, rather than the ad-hoc meta sends in Jasmine. See Andreas' and David's OOPSLA presentation (PDF) for an overview.
