Smalltalk Solutions 2011
The STIC Board has decided to organize Smalltalk Solutions 2011 in Las Vegas from Sunday March 13 to Wednesday March 16, 2011.
This time, one of our goals is to attract strangers, i.e. non-Smalltalks to our conference. Thus we are looking for an attractive sub title. Buzz words which popped into our minds are Cloud and Dynamic Languages. Thus we start a call for subtitle today. Please send your idea(s) to georg@stic.st until July 31st, 2010. The STIC Board of Directores shall vote on the subtitle. We sill also run a drawing amoung all submissions to win three prices: 10%, 5%, and 3% discount off the admission fee.
I am looking for a great Smalltalk Solutions 2011.
Mark you calendar!

Owww man... SRSLY?
hy, why Las Vegas?
s a city full of totally of off topic attention eager distractions.
Trying to compensate a smalltalk show with whatever off topic show is a very poor message to send.
Sounds like a great initiative but you can't attract non-smalltalkers to smalltalk if you are surrounded by Las Vegas. No if you want to attract them in the right sense and paying attention to you.
You do it by attracting enterpreneurs where capital ventures happen. You do it by showing them a clear path on how they can kick ass making a business in this economy using pharo or whatever ST flavor is the next thing they need to attract capitalists.
This I can promise to you: no shiny city will fix that if you can't do it right.

Awesome idea putting it in vegas. Central, and *cheap*. I can fly there for under $300canadian, hotels are sub $100/night and I assume you got a great deal on a venue.
smart!!!
