true! May be next year we should propose a Smalltalk tutorial.

The main reason there aren't any Smalltalk related events at OOPSLA is that people don't propose them. Posters, workshops and demos accept nearly all the proposals, so if you don't see any Smaltalk-related posters, workshops and demos then it means there were none proposed. OOPSLA accepts less than 20% of the papers that were submitted and less than half the tutorials, so the fact that there aren't any of these doesn't mean that none were proposed. It is hard to get papers accepted at OOPSLA, but Stephane had some Smalltalk papers accepted there recently, so it is still possible. Certainly Smalltalk no longer has a buzz, but there are enough old Smalltalkers on the OOPSLA organizing committees that it is still possible to find people who appreciate it. And there are usually a hundred or so Smalltalkers who show up for OOPSLA so they want to have some things to make them happy. I think the main reason there aren't more Smalltalk-related events at OOPSLA is because Smalltalkers don't propose them. -Ralph _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [email protected] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners
