This seems to be a good place to introduce myself.
My Name is Nicolai Hess, I follow the squeak (and pharo) community for some years (~10). (Not as an *active* member in that time, but a little bit more the last days:-) I am a software developer, most time working with c++ and java. Every time I start to dive into smalltalk world (again), even if all i have done are bugreports or small bugfixes, it impressed me how much more fun it makes.
yes and welcome on board. It can really change your life :)
Looking at smalltalks history I was always deeply impressed about all its development and *inventions*. (And a bit sad, it is not as recognized as it could be, and seeing how others again reinventing these things.)
we should continue to invent because we have some advantages :)
It is great to see how pharo and the community moves on. Thank you all.

2013/12/6 Torsten Bergmann <astares@gmx.de> Maybe others noticed the same:
- the numbers of closed issues is amazing(see the news on the homepage) - Pharo3.0 is already really usable and a pleasure to work with - more and more nice projects appear on STHub and elsewhere - more and more Pharo projects use continuous integration - most projects and packages are loadable from the config browser and other places without conflicting with each other - there is so much activity regarding Pharo these days on mailinglists, bug-tracker, twitter, conferences, blogs, stackoverflow, github ... it becomes hard to follow but this is a good sign - I see more and more fixes and improvements already as an update coming in before I really realize that an own bug is needed because it improves the situation - more and more new names appear on the dev and user mailinglist which is a good sign that there is growing interest - Pharo is on the right track and I like to be on the train
Step by step it goes...
Bye T.
