The Seaside project to present a useful browser-based Smalltalk code browser is being hosted on Google code:
Smalltalk Labs Browser, or SL-Browser for short, is a (hopefully) modern approach to create a web based code browser for the Seaside web framework in terms of both design and functionality.
There are instructions - including a walkthrough video - at the link.
Juan Vuletich has announced the release of Cuis 2.9
Cuis 2.9 is available at www.jvuletich.org/Cuis/Index.html . The release notes describes changes in recent versions (starting at 2.0). I believe many of the enhancements could be also useful for Pharo and rather easy to harvest. So, take a look!

The schedule for Smalltalks 2010 is online - it looks quite good. Sadly, traveling to Argentina is not in my budget this year - I hope there's video.
The link doesn't go directly to the schedule - it's a Seaside app, and they didn't create a direct link. Go to the "Schedule" tab at the top of the page.
Hat tip Andres Valloud.

Torsten points to some work on the Omni-Browser running via Seaside:
since browsing Smalltalk directly in the webbrowser is easy to do Lukas today updated the packages for "OB-Web" to use OmniBrowser (the Smalltalk browser used in Pharo) to be accessible from a webbrowser too. Just download Pharo 1.1. and follow the simple instructions to run it and see yourself. Browsing the code you will find out that it is a nice example how to use the Comanche webserver (KomHttpServer) to write own web based services. It's also a nice example for AJAX communication between client side JavaScript and server side Smalltalk code using JSON.
IBM has open sourced the RoarVM work:
"RoarVM, formerly known as the Renaissance Virtual Machine (RVM) is developed as part of a IBM Research project to investigate programming paradigms and languages for manycore systems of the future. Specifically, this VM is meant to support manycore systems with more than 1000 cores in the future.
It's compatible with Squeak 4.1 and Pharo 1.2 - follow the link for details. This is the fun part:
It is compatible with Squeak 4.1 and Pharo 1.2, has full closure support and was tested with 8 cores, 16 hyperthreads on Intel systems/tested with 56 cores on Tilera TILE64/TILEPro64 processors

Pharocasts has a nice demo of the "Lights out" demo from the "Pharo By Example" book.
Follow the Lights Out game exercise from the book Pharo By Example.

Pavel continues with his work on a small Pharo Kernel. The latest release not only contains a headless 2.2 MB image but also a small 3MB image with KomHttpServer.
That's pretty cool - I know that a lot of commercial customers of VA and VW would like to see something like that.
The Toronto Smalltalkers are having a Seaside evening:
The next meeting of the Toronto Smalltalk User Group in Monday, November 8. We have a request to go over some Seaside basics, so we'll build some simple Seaside applications and demo some code.
Follow the link for more details
Smalltalk Labs has a nice simple example of search as you type for Seaside apps using JQuery - including code.
Ramon Leon has posted step by step instructions for getting GLASS installed onto an Ubuntu system.
