Sven 

Thanks a ***lot***. We have to do a party close to the border (well we are on 
the border already) and meet
This should be a resolution for 2011. 

You see, this is because of such a kind of feeling and good energy that we find 
the energy to do pharo.
Pharo is just like that because you are making it that too. The work around 
Zinc is important. And this is because there are people like you, alain, lukas, 
luc, mariano (all busy like hell doing something else) with a cool spirit that 
this is fun to do Pharo.
We all want to open new space, create knowledge and support your business. 

The funny part of life is that we do pharo on our free time :).... at least I'm 
running so much
to make sure that phds make progress, get money for the team, do bugdet budget, 
admin, admin, writing....
that people would not believe it. :)
But this is cool and I can tell you that I will take time for pharo and its 
future. Because we want more :)
