Squeak Oversight Board minutes - 7/2/12

Board members present: Colin Putney, Craig Latta, Randal L. Schwartz, Chris Muller,  Chris Cunnington

- the decision on which server we will move to is getting closer. The decision will be taken by the end of the month

- one idea suggested is that we find a web designer to give the homepage a new look; Craig suggested one of the designers he knows in Amsterdam

- when the move takes place, a process using a wiki or Google Docs will be used to record what we have and how we moved what we have

- Craig is going to ESUG next month

- Spoon documentation for beginners is coming as well as Naiad, the Spoon module system, integration with GitHub

- Some ideas for using Environments posited were controlled updating of code in a deployed web image; using an Environment with the Xtreams API; loading Squeakland.org's Etoys into a Squeak Environment

- More talking to people about a location for a Squeak specific event is underway (and Squeak may already have it's first sponsor)

What does "using an Environment with the Xtreams API" mean?

That's a reference to the use case I mentioned in my original post on
Environments:

OK, that's what I'd thought. The sentence didn't seem to say that, so
I thought I'd ask for a clarification. So it should say perhaps
"loading Xtreams into an Environment only exposing its public API".
That's not quite right. I'm trying to say "Incomplete is part of
Xtreams' API'. Anyway.

Thanks!
