Subject: ESUG actions to promote Smalltalk


> Hi all
>
> please distribute the following announce available at
> http://www.esug.org/
>
> Program 1: Smalltalk in Academy
> ESUG would like to promote the use of Smalltalk in teaching and research
> institutions. Smalltalk is a pure object-oriented language that is
> mostly written in itself. It has good pedagogical properties. It is used
> at the *Open University* for teaching OO.
>
> For this purpose we propose two packages:
>
> Teacher Starter Package
>
> - a package containing a relevant selection of Smalltalk books at all
> levels of expertise + 30 CD's containing all the freely or non
> commercial Smalltalks (Squeak, VisualWorks, Gnu Smalltalk, Dolphin,
> Smalltalk/X, Smalltalk/MT) + plus all the freely available
> books + a ready-to-use lecture (400 slides + 100 pages of exercises)
>
> Teacher Immersion Package
>
> - we offer you to have the possibility to get an intensive lecture for
> any number of students over 3 or 4 days. The Teacher Immersion Package
> includes the Teacher Starter Package
>
>
> Admissibility conditions.
>
> There no limit of country location to obtain the packages. The only
> criteria will be your willingness to learn and/or teach Smalltalk. You
> should write to ESUG a small description (max a page) describing your
> situation (include any criteria you find relevant) and what your plans
> are to promote Smalltalk. The package will be given to the local library
> of the university of the person who contacted us, but with the legal
> obligation not to do any business such as reselling the books to other
> party. Please join the library address to your announcement.
> The chosen candidates will be listed on the ESUG site.
>
>
>
> Program 2: Cool Smalltalk Code Contest
>
>
> ESUG would like to offer Smalltalk books to students. We propose to any
> worldwide students to participate to the Cool Smalltalk Code Contest.
> The principle is the following: you send to the ESUG committee a small
> (the quantity is not an issue here) but cool piece of code showing some
> interesting aspects of Smalltalk or a small application, then your piece
> of code is put freely on the web and every two months we select the one
> we prefer.
>
> How will we proceed?
>
> At the end of every two months we will select 6 or 8 of the best
> submissions we got and send to their author a book amongst the books we
> have in stock.
> *Best Smalltalk Practices
> *Squeak: Object-Oriented Design with Multimedia Applications
> *Squeak: Open Personal Computing and Multimedia
> *Squeak: A Quick Trip to ObjectLand Smalltalk
> *Design Patterns Companion
> *Smalltalk with Style
> *On to Smalltalk
> *Art and Science of Smalltalk
> *Smalltalk, Object, and Design
> *Dolphin Smalltalk Companion
> *Smalltalk and Object Orientation: An Introduction by John Hunt
> *Squeak Xavier Briffault (French)
>
> The committee has the right to reject code that has been copied or too
> simple code. One person can only receive one book during the contest.
> When you participate think that there are people who do not have money
> to buy book nor have libraries.
>
> Program 3: Smalltalk in Business
> ESUG would like to sponsor presentations of Smalltalk inside companies.
> ESUG is willing to participate to expense for Smalltalk shows that a
> Smalltalk expert performs at a company's site.
>
> If your company is willing to sponsor ESUG for these specific actions, we
> can associate its name with such actions.
>
>
> If you are interested contact us esug-info@...
