Feed Description: James Robertson comments on Cincom Smalltalk, the Smalltalk development community, and IT trends and issues in general.
Scottsdale, AZ - all in one price, reasonable, great resort
What about Las Vegas?
Washington DC Metro area - US politics may be an issue?
Toronto again?
Other STIC directions
Getting STIC to show a Smalltalk presence at other shows (Internet World, etc)
Getting people to give talks at non-ST shows - many are eager for speakers
Get more content to why Smalltalk, get more Smalltalk bloggers out there
Get STIC to help out the local Users Groups - help coordinate schedules, presentation topics, etc.
Start a community blog
Start a user group news page - scrape it into a feed
Someone needs to update the cls FAQ. Can the STIC coordinate updating/keeping that info current?
Also coordinate information on user group locations and coordinators, so as to make that available to vendors and users
Teach classes and/or work with local xp groups exposing Smalltalk
Library of canned presentations/content, coordinated by STIC?
Analyst relations - especially Gartner - private communications very negative - solution will be to get a countervailing opinion from another analyst. Need to find more friendly analysts
Great discussion about talking to the Python/Ruby community about Smalltalk - not from a competitive standpoint, but as a tool they could be interested in
Once a year Smalltalk journal? Off cut by 6 months from StS?
