This is excellent news!
Hi guys
Since INRIA accepted to pay one engineer around the pharo consortium we will hire Esteban Lorenzano for a year.
We are excited by that! I should do a lot of paper work but this is really cool.
For the consortium we are working on it :)
� � � �- Inria law oriented people are designing a "CAML" like consortium text. http://caml.inria.fr/consortium/ but simpler :). For pharo there will be no specific license just plain MIT.
� � � �- Marcus is setting up a mailing-list and we will make public the names of the companies that are participating (if they agree).
� � � �Note that several companies developing in VisualAge (Instantiations, HRWorks..) or Gemstone mentioned their intentions to join the consortium and we welcome them.
� � � �- We will discuss the prices and modality but the goal is that any individual can be a consortium member and that we can pay one or two engineers
� � � �to support Pharo development and bring more people into Smalltalk.
