[scona] [Smalltalks 2013] --- Invitation

[Andres Valloud]

The Fundación Argentina de Smalltalk (FAST, http://www.fast.org.ar) 
invites you to the 7th International Conference on Smalltalk 
Technologies (Smalltalks), to be held from October 30th through November 
1st at the Universidad Tecnológica Nacional, Facultad Regional Rosario, 
located in Rosario, Argentina.

Everyone, including teachers, students, researchers, developers and 
entrepreneurs, are welcome as speakers or attendees. Registration is 
free and now open at http://www.fast.org.ar/smalltalks2013.

This year we are accepting donations from participants to help fund the 
conference's costs. Please see the Donate section at FAST's website, 
http://www.fast.org.ar/smalltalks2013/donate. Contributions are greatly 
appreciated, and can be received both in pesos for local attendees, as 
well as via Paypal for those coming from abroad. Donors will receive a 
set of thank you gifts as well as the conference's shirt.

The goal of the Conference is to strengthen the bonds between the 
Argentine and the international Smalltalk community through the exchange 
of works, experiences and anecdotes connected with this technology and 
related matters.

As in the previous editions, renowned members of the international 
Smalltalk community will visit us, and like last year we will have a 
Research Session with publications reviewed by an international committee.

Also, the traditional Industry Track will be available for those who 
prefer a more practical environment. You can submit papers or talks now 
through our website at

The Industry Track's submission deadline is October 7th.
