[ANN] Smalltalks 2009 - Third Smalltalk Conference of Argentina

May I suggest a simple modification?
It would be better to have a sprint before the conference.
and does not mean that a group of coder can code in a room during
boring conference talks
Then I do not see why we would need a projector.

that approx 4 or 5 people from Argentina expressed their interest.
Best is to set up a webpage. I will do it.
