Hi Mayuresh,

You mean like a birthday ? Good idea !

I'll leave it to St??phane or Marcus to propose a date, Wikipedia says Pharo 1.0 was released on April 15th. But Pharo was of course already active for quite some time before that.

hi, a trivial question; when was pharo announced to the world?

we all could use that day as the one to collectively chip in some amount towards the project's operational expenses.

a nice burst of funds, once a year might be a good thing compared to a funding drive (as some of the other open source projects carry out).

we started sometime in 2008. I know that discussions started very early (Jan, Feb?), e.g to find a name.

But it was announced later… I guess I would need to dig in the old mails to find the exact date.

I have mails with that discussion in april. On may 1st it was phare which didn't succeed Norbert
