Hi everyone, Thanks for the wishes.
Just a note: I do not see getting in the board as a prize, but as a work to do. And there is some work left :) One of the points that I will stress everyone with is the marketing of Pharo. Marketing, like any other meaningful thing, requires design. Design requires feedback. And feedback requires time. That is why we have to start with this endeavor sooner rather than later. The other thing about marketing is that it can actually be meaningful, but this happens only when we live what we sell. Pharo does offer a fantastic opportunity because when people talk about it, their eyes blink. This reveals both value and values that are packaged deep in Pharo. We just have to capitalize on that, and I want to start by making explicit what makes Pharo unique and valuable. Everyone thinks of various things, but we do not yet have a concerted message. This message, and I will aim at one single message, has to transpire in everything we do: from the way we design the code, to the concepts we adopt in the language, to the frameworks we build on top, and to the developer and user experience. This is exciting, but it requires team effort. This is where you come in. We want your energy outside of pure coding. More concrete proposals will come in the near future, but until then, feel free to chip in your ideas.
