Betreff: [Esug-list] Fwd: ESUG considers sponsoring the Pharo Consortium
Let's make it clear..
A project X, which is a smalltalk-based project bootstrapping a consortium
and
inviting all organizations/individuals who want to participate.
Question 1: what is a logical reaction from ESUG should be, which
mission is to support and popularize smalltalk?
My understanding of the situation is that the question isn't "if", the
question is "how". I haven't seen anyone saying anything about ESUG not
supporting Pharo. The question that was asked is: "Should ESUG join the
Pharo consortium and pay a perpetual fee of EUR XXXX per year"?
To my thinking ESUG should participate at bootstrapping stage (which
happens right now) to help giving it enough momentum.
And this is right and absolutely in spirit of ESUG mission.
Sponsoring consortium by ESUG on a perpetual basis, makes little
sense, as to me,
because if we figure that it doesn't flies, no help from ESUG alone
could make it fly.. and spending
money on it would be just a waste.
I don't know, of course, what ESUG board members thinking about it..
it is just my guess.
Question 2: if you replace X with 'Pharo', how this changing the situation?
Not at all. It's still about the "how", not the "if".
Cheers,
