Hi Dev Team,

We have started working with the Web Team to add a press release section to the squeak.org site. They have agreed to that. The message we sent them is below.

We have a pair of requests we'd like the Dev Team to consider:

1) Please announce when the next VM can be expected. 1 month? 3 months? 6 months? It is important to us at the PR Team, so we can plan around this date.

2) We would like the Dev Team in the form of Professor Ralph Johnson to provide us with copy for the press release we will be drafting. We would like him to write two sentences that answer the following questions: 1. What is the value of using Squeak?; 2. What is new in Squeak? The reasons for this are better explained in the following email previously sent to the Web Team.

Please consider this request,

Chris Cunnington PR Team Tsar

Hi Web Team,

I'm with the PR Team, and I'd like to make a request for an addition to the squeak.org website.

I request the Web Team to create a web page for and called either Press Releases or Media. If you want an example of what I mean look at any large corporation, and that's what I request exactly.

When 3.10 is launched I'm going to post this information to Slashdot.org. I will need a page to link my reference to. Also, for anybody from a newspaper or magazine or Ars Technica or whomever, they will need to read the press release of what has just been announced.

The content and form of the press release, I will not enter into at the moment other than to say I will petition Ralph Johnson for a quote about the value of the Squeak vm, and what is new in this iteration of the vm. I am told that his name value is very high on account of his co-writing "Design Patterns", which is exactly what we want.

Please consider this request,

Chris Cunnington PR Team Tsar
