Julian Fitzell which along with Avi Bryant co-created Seaside is coming through town and wanted to stop by and visit with us.  So we figure we would catch up with what  he is doing with Squeak and of course go for drinks afterwards.

The  meeting is on the 10th. Same time same place. Open house at 6:30 , presentation at 7pm.

See you all there.

Abstract:

Seaside is a rare example of software that runs on all the major
Smalltalk platforms: Pharo, Gemstone, GNU Smalltalk, Squeak, VA
Smalltalk, and VisualWorks. We’ll take a look at some of the
challenges in keeping the framework portable and some of the
techniques the team has developed to deal with these. Along the way we
may also touch on tools such as Grease, Slime, and Monticello and how
they help the process. And then we’ll see where the discussion
lead
