[scona] The list is (finally) up!

Hi all,

The Smalltalk Community of North America mailing list is now live.

Sorry to make you wait until I got back from Barcelona. I made a typo in
initial list setup that caused one of the administrative files to be
missing several needed lines. It should be all working now; let me know
if there are any problems.


Your admin,

-Martin

  Hi Northern American Smalltalkers!

I'm new on this continent and just wan,ted to know if I'm alone on this
brand new list.

My name is Sebastian Heidbrink.
I'm primarily working with VASmalltalk and looking forward getting in
touch with you all soon!

I'm really wondering if there are really any northern american
smalltalkers around, whom are not dedicated to Cincom, Gemstone or
Instantiations.

Martin, you held a very interesting webcast on last year's VASummit, right?

Let's try to establish an even as good and inspirating community as
Europe established past years!
Martin: Thanks for this opportunity!

All the Best!
Sebastian

traffic.

Welcome Sebastian!

You're not alone; the list already had 23 subscribers as of the time I
got it working last night, and two more have subscribed since then.

NA has an active Smalltalk community, with users and developers of VW,
VA, GemStone, Squeak, Dolphin,...

Personally, I work for GemStone, doing work in VW, VA, and GemStone, but
also have contributed to the Squeak and Pharo projects.

That's right, I did a quick demo of using GemStone for persistence in VA
applications.

I agree, and you're welcome! My part of setting up the list is the easy
part, now all of you need to have interesting discussions.

Regards,

-Martin

Hi Sebastian (and all),

I gave a presentation on Wednesday in NYC on Squeak/Pharo to ~10 users, so there are a few around!!
