Dear Squeakers,
welcome to the The WeeklySqueakSummary, an irregular traffic-dependent
report on what's going on in the world of Squeak based on the
WeeklySqueak blog.
Highlights of the past weeks:
Two software "releases" can be celebrated: Croquet 1.0 is there [2],
and Plopp [3] is available for free download (a serial number is
required, though, for full functionality).
The Squeak projects for this year's Google Summer of Code are out
[10]. Five projects have been selected, supporting both the more
developer-oriented (compiler, package model, and collaborative
development) and user-oriented (Wiki, and a HTML/CSS viewer) sides of
Squeak.
There also are some remarks on comments in Squeak code [11] that are
definitely worth reading.
Smalltalk Solutions is over, and the Squeak booth at the conference
has been a success [14], also regarding fund raising [5].
ESUG 2007 calls for contributions [13].
Finally, there is going to be a meeting of the German Squeak
association in Potsdam, Germany, this coming Saturday [9]. You are
invited. Yes, you. ;-)
