organised the International Smalltalk Conference, a lively forum on
cutting edge software technologies that attract people from both
academia and industry for a whole week. The attendees are both
engineers using Smalltalk in business and students and teachers
using Smalltalk both for research and didactic purposes.
As every year, this year's edition of the largest European Smalltalk
event will include the regular Smalltalk developers conference with
renowned invited speakers, a Smalltalk camp that proves fruitful for
interactions and discussions. Besides, this year will be held the
- 7th edition of the Innovation Technology Awards where prizes will be
awarded to authors of best pieces of Smalltalk-related projects
- an international workshop on Smalltalk and dynamic languages
http://www.esug.org/wiki/pier/Conferences/2011/International-Workshop-on-Smalltalk-Technologies
- ESUG will offer 10 free entrance tickets.
To get a free ticket you should send a mail to the esug board (board@esug.org)

19th International Smalltalk Joint Conference - Call for Contributions
Edinburgh, England
That's, ah, Edinburgh, Scotland, actually - or Edinburgh, Great
Britain or Edinburgh, United Kingdom, or Edinburgh, Albion, or
Edinburgh, Britannia, or ....
Saying 'England' for 'Britain' abroad is quite usual but saying
'Edinburgh, England' is not quite geographically accurate - and may
draw the occasional comment from the natives :-)
This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
For more information please visit http://www.messagelabs.com/email
Maybe this could help to understand the different names...

Dear Jorge,
Maybe this could help to understand the different
names... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNu8XDBSn10
Fun to watch, even though the facts are of course boringly familiar to
anyone born here. Three small errors
-
British is not an objected-to term for the nationality - it is widely
used. (To be fair, I think the speaker is just joking here.) -
Great Britain derives from 'Greater Britain' the term introduced
after 1603 to desitgnate the union of Scotland with the rest. It
therefore includes all the Scottish islands (and any that are part of
England and Wales) and so the video is wrong in its colouring and when
it says the term is 'sometimes used wrongly'). -
The commonwealth is the British Empire old boys club and while it
does not include all former members, it does include many, for example
India, in addition to the group the video identifies.
So it's a starter but viewers would undoubtly need an 'advanced
geography' follow-up course before they had mastered the subject.
Perhaps we could offer it at ESUG, coded in Smalltalk of course. :-)
Meanwhile, if anyone is acting on the 'Please distribute widely' request
in the mailing, please correct (to 'Edinburgh Scotland' or 'Edinburgh,
UK', according to taste) before doing so.
Yours faithfully
Niall Ross

Hi Naill!
Thanks for the corrections.
I hope to have the chance to be there, and see the explanation in Smalltalk,
great idea! :D
Cheers,
Jorge
