We are hoping that DaveSimmons will be able to give us a talk and demo of SmallScript S# - a SmallTalk variant for DotNet. It's a really really cool language - even if you don't like DotNet or SmallTalk you'll find this talk and demo interesting because DaveSimmons knows lots about languages and VMs.

DaveSimmons is over from the USA for OT2003 - this will be a one-off event; be there!

( ... awaiting confirmation from David but have booked larger room at usual pub)
