Onward! 2011
ACM Conference on New Ideas in Programming and Reflections on Software

Hilton Portland & Executive Tower, Portland, Oregon USA
Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Onward! is more radical, more visionary, and more open than other conferences to not (yet) so well-proven
but well-argued ideas. We welcome different ways of thinking about, approaching, and reporting on
programming language and software engineering research.

Onward! fosters the multidisciplinarity of software development. We are interested in anything to do
with programming and software. Processes, methods, languages, art, philosophy, biology, economics,
communities, politics, ethics, and of course applications. Anything!

Sounds good? Do you want to report on and present your new ideas to the community and get feedback? Do you have
a video to show or a story to tell, an essay perhaps? Do you want to bring reflections and new insights to the
community? Or do you simply want to know more about innovations, visions, and the future of programming
languages and software engineering? Then...

Join Onward!, the unique, creative, and collaborative environment to discuss and investigate
challenging problems related to software, its creation, and nurturing.

Computers, networks, and other forms of technology are pervasive in our
information-based society.  Unfortunately, most users of this technology use it
for passive consumption of information and entertainment.  To evolve into a
true knowledge society it is critical that we transform computer-based human
activities to engage users in the active process of creating, connecting, and
collaborating together.

The C5 conference is for anyone interested in the use of computers as tools to
develop and enable user-oriented creation, connection, and collaboration
processes.  Researchers, developers, educators and users come together at C5 to
present new and ongoing work and to discuss future directions for creative
computing and multimedia environments.  We welcome the submission of

Intent to Change License for Squeak 4.0 - MIT/Apache

Intent to Change License for Squeak 4.0

The Squeak Oversight Board plans to finalize the multi-year effort of
re-licensing Squeak. Squeak 4.0 is scheduled to be released on Monday,
March 15th, 2010 and will be licensed under the MIT License [1] with
some original parts remaining under the Apache License [2]. This release
will be functionally equivalent to the previous 3.10.2 release. Current
development work will be released as 4.1 as soon as possible following
the release of 4.0.

This notice is intended as a "last call" before the actual license
change takes effect. We have assembled re-licensing agreements from
every identifiable contributor. However, if you have contributed to
Squeak or know of someone who has contributed and has not been contacted
about the re-licensing effort, this notice is intended to make you
aware of the upcoming change and to allow you to contact the Squeak
Oversight Board regarding your contributions before the license change
takes place.

Please distribute this notice widely.  Questions or comments should be
sent to relicensing <at> squeak.org .

[ANN] Collaborative Curved Space Explorer in Croquet

Hello,

Happy to announce, that the first version of Collaborative Curved Space Explorer - CCSE SDK 1.0a is out!

Collaborative Curved Space Explorer (CCSE) - is viewed to be in future the full-featured multi-user toolbox for exploring the structure of curved spaces in 3D (based on Croquet) with real-time rendering in curved spaces. Jeff Weeks originally developed (and continue developing now) the application Curved Spaces for exploring and rendering curved spaces in real-time using C language. CCSE is actually the port of it main part into Smalltalk and Croquet. Thus it allows to run complex time-based simulations and achieve a very deep level of collaborative interactions.

More information and screen-shots here:
http://nsuslovi.blogspot.com/2009/12/collaborative-curved-space-explorer-v10.html

Croquet Source code:
http://jabberwocky.croquetproject.org:8889/CCurvedSpaceExplorer.html

Open Cobalt support:
http://croquet-src-01.oit.duke.edu:8886/CurvedSpacesInCobalt,html

Ready-to-try distributions with CCSE included:

1. Krestianstvo (on russian)
2. Open Croquet 1.0.25 SDK
3. Open Cobalt R26 alpha SDK

Happy exploring!

Thanks,
Nikolay Suslov
