The Weekly Squeak has a nice roundup of commentary and thoughts on the just concluded Smalltalks 2010 conference:
Smalltalks 2010 took place last weekend, meaning that the post-conference reports have started hitting the blogs, and they’re universally enthusiastic about the content, organisation and atmosphere of the event.

Michael Lucas-Smith, Niall Ross, and Julian Fitzell will be doing a couple of interesting events in London next week. This is from an email update Julian sent out:
The monthly meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group will be on Monday, November 22. Michael Lucas-Smith will be visiting us from the US and will be speaking about Xtreams. Martin Kobetic's presentation at ESUG only scratched the surface, apparently, and Michael intends to delve even deeper. He's also happy to answer questions about Cairo, WebVelocity and so on. Helge Nowak and Niall Ross are also going to be visiting us from out of town this month so it should be a great meeting. We'll be at the Counting House starting at 6:30pm. Details are here.
The day after that, on Tuesday, November 23, Cincom is running another Wolf Pack Programming event in conjunction with SPA and XTC. The workshop will run from 6:15pm to 9:30pm at the London offices of the BCS. We've been having a lot of fun testing the boundaries of Agile development with wolf packs all over Europe. If you're interested in attending, you can find out more and register here

Torsten spots another bit of Seaside news:
The Seaside WebTester (a project that is able to test web applications using Selenium) is now also available for Gemstone.
Davide Varvello is trying to do two interesting things with Smalltalk screencasts:
I wish him luck; both are tough things to do on the web.

James Foster posts on a Squeak moment in Argentina after Smalltalks 2010.
Felipe Banados, one of the attendees of Smalltalks 2010, talks about the experience:
It has been quite a week. The experience of being at Smalltalks 2010 in Argentina was beyond any expectations I might have had. ¿The reason? It wasn’t only the keynotes, neither being in another country for the first time: It was because of meeting and feeling a part of the smalltalk community.
Sounds a lot like ESUG to me - and that's a good thing.

Looks like you can get your Seaside (3.0) fix for any Smalltalk now - here's news of the Dolphin port of Seaside 3:
I've ported the final release of Seaside 3. This version is like the previous (2.9) ported one year ago. Differences are on the portability layer and some configuration tools. Now Seaside uses Pharo's Grease. I think that Grease will contribute to make easy the job when porting other Frameworks related to Seaside or Pharo and currently ported to other Smalltalk dialects (Magritte, Pier, etc, I think will be funny porting both ;) Another difference is the Welcome application, very nice Welcome to newcomers!
Hat tip Torsten.
Florin Mateoc will be talking about Smalltalk and algorithms on December 1st in NYC:
Florin Mateoc is a professional programmer for more than 20 years. He has programmed in Fortran, assembly, Basic, C, C++, Smalltalk, Java and C#. He is not a Smalltalk bigot,he does not think that Smalltalk is either perfect or the end of the evolutionary line of programming languages. He just thinks that nothing better has come along yet.
