Suggestion : it seems like a lot of the contribution efforts are coming from Europe. Perhaps having a (at least one) "North American point of view" on the board would help Pharo get more attention & success on this side of the world... For instance, it's a shame that Pharo doesn't get more academic presence in North America as compared to it's academic success in Europe. I don't know what causes that... But then, one could argue that I'm not 100% North American since I'm from Quebec and was born with that "European side"... ;)
Keep up the good work guy!
Bravo � vous messieurs!

Subject: [Pharo-project] Pharo fondation: administration and real people
Hi guys
we are filling up papers with luc to get a fondation for pharo. The idea there is to have a minimal administrative board: a president that signs and a tresaurer that counts. We suggest to be me and luc because he is doing the work for the bank ;)
This admin board should be kept small
else at each changes we have to sign papers and go to the prefecture and ....
Now we want to have a real board and we would like to hear from you who we would like to have on the board.
For me I would like to get people from industry:
- adrian
- johan
then some acad
- me
- marcus
- luc
But we want to hear from you about ideas. We do not want an election because we do not want to have election :)
The goal of the board will be to think and organize ***public*** discussions around pharo visions and next steps
+ organization of bounty and money collecting actions
+ infrastructure (paying bills for servers if necessary)
+ collect licenses...
