News Team Report - November 2005
by Giovanni Corriga 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

The purpose of the News team is to publish news regarding Squeak development and use. It aims to provide a service to the Squeak community, highlighting anything which the Squeak users may find interesting in The Weekly Squeak newszine. It will also try to promote Squeak outside its own community, by submitting articles and news items to mainstream websites such as Slashdot and OSNews. There are some highs and a couple of lows in the news team activity for the month of november: High: we managed to reduce TWS' lateness to just one day. Low: soon after this, I had some personal problems which caused some more lateness in publishing TWS. I'll try to reduce that during this week. High: we've added the Seaside mailing list to our mailing list roster. High: we managed our first "scoop" ;) with Ron Teitelbaum's interview to Bruce Tate. Low: I didn't have any time to seriously investigate using Smallwiki 1 as the publishing platform for TWS. TWS' ongoing lateness is a sign that I (Giovanni Corriga) am still a single point of failure for the whole TWS publishing process. I hope that the new Smallwiki server will help in this regard. For the coming month, I'd like to add one more column to The Weekly Squeak. I still have to discuss this with the other news team members, though. I'd like to thank Giovanni Giorgi, Ron Teitelbaum and Klaus D. Witzel for their precious help. Giovanni

Website Team Report
by Jason Rogers 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

News: - The Team is making some really good progress toward a clean and informational site - We moved our mailing list in an effort to have more control over it and to avoid list spamming. While the list still gets spammed from time to time, most of the list members never see it. - Jason Rogers (that's me) has officially stepped down as Team Lead. Karl Ramberg has taken over as TeamLead. That's pretty much it for this past month. Thanks again to all who have helped out! Keep your email suggestions and/or Mantis issues coming. They have been a big help. -- Jason Rogers "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20

Network team report (cough, cough...)
by goran＠krampe.se 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Hi people! A little report is of course in order. I have been busy primarily with SM lately, and the Network team isn't particularly large yet so we haven't had much activity yet. I am writing this report a bit "from the hip", the Network team has been "hibernating" during november but I think we will pick up speed later on. This post from me described what I want us to do and how: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/network/2005-October/000016 .html As that post describes Mantis vacuuming and various cleanups are primary tasks - but if people do other "good stuff" that is just fine too. Of course I also take this opportunity to invite anyone interested in improving the network layer in Squeak to join us. :) regards, Göran
