Dear Smalltalkers of all dialects!
In a time where we are bombarded with information and may be
misinformed :),
some of you may not notice that ESUG is doing a great job pushing Smalltalk, we
thought that it is good
to get a gentle reminder on the main actions ESUG performed in the past.

Yes we have been busy promoting the language we all love. :)
