Smalltalk Security Landscape - survey for ESUG 2018

Jerry Kott-3
Dear Smalltalkers and friends,

I am planning to have a presentation titled ‘Smalltalk Security Landscape’ at this year’s ESUG conference. In my presentation I hope to increase cybersecurity awareness within the Smalltalk community and help shape the evolution of the language and its ecosystem.

I have put together a survey to help me research the topic. I ask for your kind help to get a picture of where Smalltalk stands in the area of cybersecurity. The survey is completely anonymous, and should take less than 15 minutes to complete. I appreciate your time and participation.

If you are in a management role, I would like your help by forwarding this to your team members to help reach the broad Smalltalk community.


Thank you for your help, and hope to see you in Cagliari!

Re: [squeak-dev] Smalltalk Security Landscape - survey for ESUG 2018

Jerry Kott-3
Thank you Eliot and Tobias, and everyone else who sent me feedback - either directly or in one of the optional questions. All good suggestions.

Regarding the dialect ranking: Originally I had a number of others on the list but surveymonkey suggested that long ranking lists are confusing and furstrating for respondents because it could take a long time to spend on a single question trying to sort the list. I thought that was a sensible ‘smart tip’ and shortened the list to include only the mainstream. My apologies if Squeakers or others feel excluded.

I don’t want to change anything on the survey at this time to make the questions consistent. The survey is open until the end of August. I am sure I could have done better, but this was my first survey, and on a fairly broad subject. I hope it was not the last, and that in the future I may have some collaborators to hash out the details.

Either way … in its first day the survey got a very good number of responses, and I think it will give me material for several presentations ;)

Thank you all who participated. It means a lot. Please spread the word.
