I fell so enthusiastic about Cuis. It gave me back enthusiasm regarding programming with Smalltalk. With Cuis, the limits are your creativity and the energy you put in the balance; Cuis is very rarely an obstacle. For a casual programmer as me it is critical, my time is precious and every minutes spend on Cuis must be productive. Thanks Juan. Thanks too to its capable, friendly and warm community. </blockquote> Thanks Hilaire. I'm delighted to see your words. Your contributions to Cuis are a big part of all that! <blockquote cite="mid:dce5601b-f840-e6a2-b69c-b58ebbc6ca55@drgeo.eu" type="cite"> Because of that enthusiasm, I want to propose to the community the idea of recurring online meetings. Something in a short format, like 30 min once a month, with a given topic proposed and presented by a volunteer chair. It will be like: "Ok, I, Paul, will present for 15 min one topic of interest of me with Cuis, then we, the audience will share questions and ideas." Short in its duration, it will prove to be effective and focused, and a light constraint. With long meeting, people fall asleep and get bored, and the focus gets loose. Moreoever, new users or curious about Cuis could join. Short enough, the meeting could be recorded for reference and documentation. It will be a great opportunity to learn and to discover, with a I think a quite good ratio of efficiency, new facets of Cuis and its community. What do you think? I volunteer to propose topic on my current areas of interest: "Writing book (for Cuis)", "Widget", "DrGeo". I am sure the spectrum of personnel areas of interest is diverse in the community, and I will be interested to learn new things.

Making them short is good. Making them monthly at a start is OK, although maybe twice a month may be better. I suggest for example, the first Tuesday of each month. A good time could be 16:00 GMT. That is 8:00 in California, 24:00 in China, and more reasonable times at most other places. I'm extremely interested in what you and others could present, and the discussion that will follow. Folks, this shouldn't be restricted to showing what you do, or know about. The subject could also be something you are curious about, or need help with. Or stuff where a real time discussion could help make some decision, etc. Thanks for suggesting this, Hilaire! <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Juan Vuletich <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.cuis-smalltalk.org">www.cuis-smalltalk.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev">https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/jvuletich">https://github.com/jvuletich</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/juan-vuletich-75611b3">https://www.linkedin.com/in/juan-vuletich-75611b3</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://independent.academia.edu/JuanVuletich">https://independent.academia.edu/JuanVuletich</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Juan-Vuletich">https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Juan-Vuletich</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://patents.justia.com/inventor/juan-manuel-vuletich">https://patents.justia.com/inventor/juan-manuel-vuletich</a> @JuanVuletich</pre> </body> </html>
