I personally have a commitment this month that will prevent me from
attending the meeting. Also although I have not had a chance to check
lately our scheduled presenter Thomas Sattler of Visual Networks has
had certain work related issues that made his presentation tentative.
Tom , perhaps , you can let us know if this is a good time if not we
can re-schedule. If Steve Roffman is able to make it and Tom can go
ahead with the presentation then I would suggest keeping the meeting
as scheduled. If the meeting is to be cancelled then we need to let
Brenda Adams of IBM know.
In November we have Cincom presenting on their advancements to STORE
as well as future plans. I plan to give an overview of the Swazoo
framework as well as introduce a JSP 1.2 compliant Smalltalk servlet
engine which I recently been developing that basically will allow for
the use of xml based custom based tags on active server pages. The
interesting implication is that such an engine would allow for the
easy port of a jsp based application to VisualWorks.
Also , although not confirmed , it seems that we may sometime in
April have a Smalltalk Solutions after all. Apparently , it should be
a bigger affair than what was sponsored by Cincom last year. This
time a large multi-national consulting firm who is fully pushing
Smalltalk will join the effort.
More later as I get more info.
thanks
