Smalltalk at FosDem
This sounds like the kind of thing that will help get Smalltalk a bit more notice:
One of my major stumbling blocks with Smalltalk has been general unfamiliarity with the development environment, the workshop was the perfect opportunity to resolve some of this. The structure was to pair one experienced Smalltalker with one noob, and for both to work through a pre-planned exercise with an existing image and application set up.
ESUG and the STIC conferences are useful, but getting Smalltalk into the hands of new users requires some outreach. I'm glad to see that happening.
