Hi Ted,
I'm the person at JPL who (somehow) got "The Powers That Be" here to agree to join the Consortium.
Congratulations! That must have been a significant effort.
I'm also the major champion of Pharo at JPL, and am leading an effort to get Pharo introduced & infused at JPL.
That's what I am most interested in. I am in biophysics research myself, where Pharo is best described as invisible and unheard of. So I wonder which techniques could work for introducing and infusing.
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".
That looks like a lot of people to convince!
I'm sure more application areas will open up as I get people to start using Pharo in their particular areas of expertise.
Indeed, the hard part is getting started.
Wish me luck!
All you need! Konrad.
