Hi Konrad,

I'm the person at JPL who (somehow) got "The Powers That Be" here to agree
to join the Consortium.

I'm also the major champion of Pharo at JPL, and am leading an effort to get
Pharo introduced & infused at JPL.

I see the initial "market" for Pharo here to be:

* Scientific & engineering data analysis & visualization,
* Modeling and simulation,
* Internal web servers,
* Custom ground support & test systems,
* Small-to-medium sized scripting to "support applications".

I'm sure more application areas will open up as I get people to start using
Pharo in their particular areas of expertise.

I'm doing what I can be promoting Pharo, providing introductions & training,
and I'm now working on demonstrations that can catch the attention of both
engineers and managers -- to see the potential.


Dear Ted,

We share a lot of common interests with you and Konrad.

I'm the main architect of PolyMath: https://github.com/PolyMathOrg/PolyMath
for doing scientific computing with Pharo.

I'm also involved in Kendrick, a domain-specific language for doing epidemiological modelling:
and a multi-agent modelling platform called CORMAS:
