April Meeting - April 20th

Hi all,

the April meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group will be held on Monday, April 20th, at our usual venue. We decided to postpone the meeting since this April the second Monday of the month happens to be a Bank holiday.

This month, we'll make good use of the new, free WiFi connection offered by the Counting House to organize a Smalltalk hacking session.

See you on Monday!

Reminder: March meeting tomorrow evening

Tomorrow evening (Mon 9th Mar from 18:00) we will be meeting at the usual venue for beer, food and Smalltalk.

For this meeting we have a topic: The ANSI Smalltalk Syntax STEP

STEPs are Smalltalk Enhancement Proposals. The The ANSI Smalltalk Syntax STEP is not really a proposal, rather it is capturing the syntax rules expressed in the current ANSI Smalltalk standard (ANSI INCITS 319-1988) as EBNF. Why do this? Well, the ANSI standards are copyright (to INCITS in this case) and so we can't use the syntax definition as expressed in the standard document in Smalltalk STEPs, so we need a re-expression of the ideas that can be made available under an open license for future STEP work.

If you just want to come along for a beer and a chat, that's fine too :-)

Mon 9th - Smalltalk Syntax STEP

The next meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group meeting will happen on Monday 9th March from 18:00 at the Counting House (where good food and beer are readily available).

The topic of this meeting will be building the STEP for ANSI standard Smalltalk Syntax ... which will be much more fun than you might think! Come along and see.

If you have any questions or suggestions, make them on the user group mailing list.

March meeting new date - 2nd Mon

We have been meeting on the 1st Wednesday of the month, but the first week seems to be full of all kinds of other stuff too, so Giovanni has suggested that from now on we meet on the 2nd Monday of each month.

Seems like a good idea to me. The Counting House will be quieter so we should be able to always get a room :-)

So, the next meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group will be on Monday 9th March.

If you wish to discuss this, just join the mailing list and post a message there.

The UK Smalltalk User Group meet on the first Wednesday of the month at our regular venue, the Counting House pub on Cornhill in the City of London.
