Squeak Roundup #2
Posted 6 Feb 2008 by KenCausey
Below the fold you will find a quick summary of announcements and related items from recent weeks that never quite made it to the Squeak Announcements mailing list. See the end of this article for more meta-information.
Not too surprisingly I'm going to start this second issue with a correction to the first: being the lazy sort I used copy and paste where I could and since there were two Squeak-Dev/Squeak-Web releases in the last issue I used the same text and adapted. Except I missed changing the month in the heading. Oh well, I hope that wasn't too confusing.

This issue ended up rather long because frankly I forgot that I had started doing this. Hopefully I won't leave it quite this late next time.
This periodic publication is meant to capture those Squeak related announcements which appeared on public mailing lists but were not sent to the Squeak Announcements mailing list. Ideally there would be no need for this publication but use of the Announcements mailing list has not quite settled in the community's unconscious. So if you have an announcement and do not wish to suffer the fate of my terse summaries I suggest you Cc announcements@lists.squeakfoundation.org.
