Dear Smalltalkers, As you know ESUG is a non-for-the-profit organization, run by a bunch of volunteers which aims at promoting Smalltalk (http://www.esug.org/Promotion ). ESUG does have multiple actions such as sponsoring Smalltalk- related publications (articles and books), and encouraging developers and more specifically young students to learn Smalltalk (Student Volunteers program) and build innovative software using Smalltalk (SummerTalk, ESUG Awards, "Support your project" program). ESUG revenue comes only from sponsoring, donations, and registrations to the ESUG yearly event (since 18 years!). Therefore, I invite you to support the ESUG actions by encouraging your companies and organizations to sponsor ESUG. As previous years, we have three sponsoring packages (http://www.esug.org/supportesug/becomeasponsor/ ): * Silver ESUG Sponsor: By paying 500 Euros, the logo of your organization is displayed for a whole year on the main page of the ESUG web site and also on conference pages. You are entitled to mention that you are an ESUG sponsor, and to use the ESUG logo in that context. * Gold ESUG Sponsor: By paying 1000 Euros, you get all of the above, and the ESUG correspondence and distributions (CD, Documentation) will also feature your logo. You also get a 10% fee reduction on the ESUG events for up to 5 people of your organisation. * Platinum ESUG Sponsor: By Paying 2000 Euros, you get all of the above, and the fee reduction on the ESUG events is increased to 20% for up to 10 people of your organisation. See you in Barcelona, Dr. Noury Bouraqadi ESUG Treasurer http://car.ensm-douai.fr/noury/ -------------- -ESUG 18th International Smalltalk Conference.
