[New] academic partner program

Dear Friends

The Pharo consortium http://consortium.pharo.org is launching a new
program in direction to academic partners: teachers, Universities and
research institutes.
We realized that the advantages/duties to be an academic member were
unclear. We really want to build a strong community.

Here are the key facts extracted from the documentation.

Here are the main advantages as an academic partner:
     -  Direct access to Pharo core developers via an automatic
subscription to a specific mailing list.
     -  Access to Pharo documents and courses.
     -  Its logo posted on the Pharo Website Academic pages.
     -  The possibility to propose and participate in actions.

Here are the main duties (which you are already doing)
     - Put a link to Pharo Consortium Website from its institutional
website.
     - When using Pharo to teach, create web pages with document courses
related to Pharo.
     - Provide Inria with an annual report of at most half a page of its
actions to promote and sustain Pharo.

     As member of the Pharo Consortium, the Academic Partner shall make
its best efforts to:
     - Give courses on Pharo or related topics to its students
     - Participate to the development of open source software libraries
in Pharo
     - Participate to selected Pharo mailing lists :
[hidden email] and/or [hidden email]
     - Participate in the authoring of open-source books on Pharo and

So we really hope that you will register and help us making Pharo grow
and be a really cool and friendly ecosystem.

The Pharo Board.
