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 .
