The Weekly Squeak Summary No. 13: May 6 - Jun 30, 2007

Michael Haupt-3
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:

Croquet is actually being employed as a collaboration tool in the
development of Ubuntu Linux [8], and Squeak is, apparently,
increasingly used in teaching [6,10]. Seaside seems to get some
support from Gemstone and Cincom [11].

The Scratch project - a multimedia programming environment for
children - has made its new projects web site available [1].

Göran Krampe winkingly tells us a story on the historical development
of Squeak [12].

Last but not least, registration is open for the upcoming SqueakFest [13]!
