Squeak meeting on November 2, 2024, in Potsdam

Dear Squeakers, Smalltalkers, and friends of object-oriented, interactive programming environments!

We cordially invite you again to our annual meeting of German-speaking Squeakers (Squeak Deutschland e.V). It will be filled with exciting lectures, demos, and discussions led by both us and you, while also serving as the general assembly of the association. If you want, you can end the meeting with us in the evening in a cozy atmosphere in a nearby inn.

Should I register?

Do you want to participate or do you have any questions or do you even have an idea for demo / lecture / discussion? Get in touch with us so we can plan better. We would like to remain flexible in terms of time and would plan about 15 to 45 minutes for orientation for each lecturer.

For participation on site, please register by informal email to: marcel.taeumel@hpi.de
