Hi Pharoers I want to thank all of you for making Pharo what it is becoming: a Really Cool system and community. I wish you good health and a lot of business or fun in Pharo :). 2016 will see many changes that are planned to name a few - Pharo 5.0 with Spur - Pharo 5.0 with 64 bits - Bootstrap Pharo in production - SDL full integration - Git and Package validation - A full Mooc on Pharo - A couple of cool tutorials And I'm sure many unexpected project and libraries... The consortium should continue to grow so if you are hesitating to join please do. Stef
