A Slogan

I remember a line from one of Alan Kay's papers, and I googled it this
morning, looks like he was maybe quoting H.G. Wells?

"Future history will be a race between education and catastrophe."

So, if we were going to be optimistic, we might build a system around
the way people learn (and lol! If Java wasn't built in anticipation of
catastrophe!)

I was thinking about it and came up with a little slogan:

"Optimized for Optimism"

I was thinking about putting that on a shirt with the Squeak logo; I
understand the board has dominion over the logo, so I'd like to know:
would this be okay? Do I need written permission or anything?

Actually, if you are thinking of the logo I think you mean

http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/25

Tim Rowledge holds the copyright and it is his permission you should
seek. I'm just speaking for myself of course but I can't imagine the
Oversight Board having a problem with anything reasonable (vague, yes I
know) and I see nothing unreasonable about your idea.

Same here. I think it's just a funny slogan.

Whatever happened to Tim anyway? I remember he moved to Canada, and then
disappeared some time later.

Funny good or funny ridiculous? I didn't get any feedback from anyone
except Tim (who liked it.)

You only asked for permission, not feedback, so that's what you got ;)
