Hi,

Nice start. Thanks for working on it.

I think that if we want to have more discussions, the presentations
should  be shorter and should be seen as input for the discussions.

So, for duration I would propose talks of 10 and 20 minutes, each with
10 minutes Q&A.

I, for example, would offer a 10 minutes talk on how I work using
Pharo and Moose inside a Java company. I think this could be relevant
for people that would want to introduce Smalltalk in existing software
development shops and have a sustainable business case, too.

For topics, at first sight it seems that some of the talks are too
technical for the overall idea of focusing on business. For example,
the building of VMs seems quite out of scope.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Doru

I agree. Now 10 min is too short. May be 30 min is better.
May be we could have a voting system during the first half day.

Yes I like that

It depends. It can lower people stress to know that they can recompile their vm in 10 min
and not depend on somebody somewhere.
