What I do not like is that people say " group but they keep kicking me out of their mailing list â when this is absolutely not true! We can discuss and can argue even violently but we do not lie.

We can have a long debate about the morality of this concept but those who make the laws have decided that is the law. And often these laws are crafted such that the executive can change important details on short notice and that puts the risk of prosecution at the whims of different world leaders. > > The license that the software is released under is not important. > > What Ron is stating is that squeak source supplied some additional protections to prevent accidentally making the software available to folks who the US feels should not have access. > > If you have moved the software to another hosting provider without the permission or knowledge of the author, and therefore the owner of the software, you have put that person at additional risk.

If you are working on cryptography DO NOT POST your code anywhere except squeaksource. Especially if you are in the USA. The ONLY repository that is approved to host our cryptography code in the USA and therefore not subject to criminal violations is squeaksource. It is a CRIME in the USA to move code and make it available on the internet for everyone to download!

IWST 2020 Edition
by Vincent Aranega June 1, 2020

June 1, 2020

Hi everyone, In light of the continued uncertainty surrounding the Covid-19 situation, to guarantee the safety and well-being of all, the IWST Steering Committee has decided to move to a virtual event format for this year to be held Sept. 29th and 30th. The 2020 paper review, WiP submission and acceptance processes will proceed normally with a modification of the upcoming deadlines: - Submission deadline: July 15th, 2020 - Notification deadline: September 8th, 2020 - Workshop: September 29-30th, 2020. Like last year, we are very proud to announce a Best Paper Award. We thank the Lam Research Corporation for its financial contribution which makes it possible for prizes for the three best papers. We are also happy to announce that accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. We will follow up with further details on conference organization, presentation formats, and howto guides. The global idea is to collect all required material a week ahead of schedule to prevent any live technical issue: slides, but also video. Only the post presentation Q&A sessions will be interactive. IWST has now a significant history and has served for years as a smart playground for young researchers to practice writing articles & presenting results. In parallel, senior researchers take benefit from IWST to expose mature work and propose some retrospective or draw future directions. Mixing these two kinds of contributors makes IWST that attractive. Letâs do the 2020 edition conformed to this legacy https://esug.github.io/2020-Conference/cfpIWST2020.html Vincent Aranega LoÃ¯c Lagadec

This software is open source, it is publicly available including the source code, it is hosted on a domain that is controlled by a non-US entity, and itâs easily accessible in its current form from countries that are currently on the US âvorbotenâ list. Indeed.
