For the first time I launched Abacus activity today. My impression is
biased as I am Japanese and learned a version of it at school, but
here is some suggestions:

By now, people here would know about this job offering, but they are
still looking for applicants:

Folks,
Some of you missed the first printing of our book "Points of View -- a tribute

A call for papers. This conference has been going some years now,
and the Etoys team presented a paper in 2009, for example. It would
be a good venue for people in this community.
