[ANN] GemStone/S product and team move to a dedicated company

If you haven't already heard, the GemStone/S team is becoming an independent company after 3 years as part of VMware. The entire engineering team is moving to GemTalk Systems[1].

GemTalk Systems is completely focused on Smalltalk, GemStone/S and allied initiatives.

I've published a blog post[2] with my take on the acquisition (short answer is "excited!"), if you have any additional questions, feel free to contact me.

Focusing entirely in smalltalk is good news. Now comes the important
thing: how to make GemTalk popular and profitable. The bottom line is
having as many people working with it as possible. So, a certain focus
in schools/universities is unavoidable.

Casimiro,

Agreed ... in the last year VMware sponsored work with Hasso-Plattner Institute for MagLev.

I expect that GemTalk will continue to follow that lead as it has been a very productive relationship.

Congratulations Dale! Sounds great!
