Call for Participation in the Smalltalk Devroom at FOSDEM 2014.
http://www.fosdem.org, please forward
" A devroom for the Pharo, Squeak, Amber, GST, Etoilé, Seaside,
Moose Smalltalk projects & Newspeak as derived language.
Smalltalk environments offer a very high development productivity,
unmatched by their successors. Come do some pair programming
with us and experience yourself the advantages of a real OO
environment"
The meetup will take place Saturday, February 1, 2014,
from 9AM until 5PM, building AW. This room has 72 seats,
a VGA video projector and wireless internet.
More information will be available later.
If there are volunteers to record video content, the FOSDEM
organization kindly offered to provide needed equipment & instructions.
Please let me know if you would be willing to spend some
time pointing a camera at a speaker.
Proposals on content and format are welcome.
People interested in running a session should send me an
email at
stephan ( @ ) stack ( dot ) nl

- Their name
- The project they are associated with
- A short bio, to be put on the website along with their speaker name

- The title of their session (which will go on the website and in the booklet)
- A abstract describing the session in further detail.
- The desired length of the session.

Stefan Marr proposed:
I could give a presentation on SOM (Simple Object Machine) Smalltalk.
I would especially go into detail of the Truffle-based and the RPython (PyPy) based implementations to show modern ways of language implementations with the goal of achieving high performance.
