Relax people. Remember the stages of team formation: - forming - storming (we are here) - norming - performing So, this is good. What is the problem with what Robert is doing? Let's use Renaissance as the French Renaissance. We need more PR. Not for cool or new. But as backing up our ass when the C level guys need reassurance. I have my little side project that will go out in Q1 on that front.

Such hostility! If I have no idea what I'm talking about, then you may enlighten me. But there's no need to attack me. I'm only trying to help and contribute in my own way. I am, in fact, doing a great deal. In terms of PR, I've created a Facebook page, created a Google+ page, created a Twitter feed and I'm tweeting constantly. I'm collecting and curating for the Resources page, and I shall be doing the same for essays and articles shortly (can you be patient??). I'm actively /trying to sign up supporters for the SRP/, and I am about ready to contact a major CEO. Next month, I will be investigating the Toronto District School Board to see how we may get Smalltalk into the classroom (/I have a contact/). I have spent countless hours working on this campaign, and I have a great deal more things to do in the New Year, as I've clearly outlined in a previous post. I'm not sure what it is you think I should be *doing*. What "everyone else" is doing *is on the technical front*, working on tools and code. As I've already clearly elaborated, this is not enough. I'm trying a different approach to promoting Smalltalk, one that is based on PR, marketing and branding. Let me turn the question around: What are *you* doing on the PR front? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/The-Smalltalk-Renaissance-Program-tp4797112p4797382.h… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Having Pharo listed would be great although. Yes!!! This is long ago that I decided to stop to fight against the "new is cool" trends. Stef
