Funny, I was thinking of writing such mail two hours ago back from work :) I join my thanks to you because I feel 2010 has been my most intense year of my programmer life. I've learned tremendous stuff, meet amazing people and have the chance to contribute a little with lot of help from the community.
The Pharo community is great, warm, cool people: thanks Mariano, Marcus, Adrian, Torsten, Alexandre, Christoph, Doru, German, Eliot, Dale and all and all !! And a special special big big thank you to Stephane who showed me Smalltalk 2 years ago at RMLL in a lost place in France. I remember he told me something like "We've just started a cool thing called Pharo, stay tuned". Now I teach Pharo at University :) Can't wait for an amazing 2011 !
