Richard Eng visited the Pharo community a while ago being very enthusiastic about his Smalltalk Renaissance project. His strategy didn't end up fitting the community, but I find his kickstarter to run a Smalltalk coding competition for secondary students interesting. Apart from straight altruism to support it, providing a wide exposure of students to the concept of Smalltalk just before they enter university should generate some spillover to our communities. A rising tide lifts all ships. And community networking is a funny thing, some of those students will have parents in strategic positions who would never otherwise be exposed to Smalltalk. Its worth considering....
