Alan Kay will present the ACM Turing Lecture at OOPSLA (Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, Languages, and Applications) 2004, convening October 24 through 28 in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. OOPSLA is the premier gathering of professionals from industry and academia—practitioners, researchers, students, and educators—all sharing their experiences with object technology and its offshoots. Each year, ACM bestows its most prestigious technical award on an individual who has made major and lasting contributions to computer technology. Alan's work in object-oriented programming and personal computing are legendary, making it especially fitting that he give the Turing Lecture at OOPSLA.

Croquet 0.1 "Jasmine" Developers' Release Made Available for Public Download
The highly anticipated "Jasmine" developers' release of Croquet (Croquet v0.1) is now available for download. This release is intended for experienced and self-sufficient programmers to get their feet wet playing with Croquet. Though most of the system is functional, some key elements are not quite ready and will begin to appear over the next few weeks. This release is really to get you acquainted with the system, deconstruct the examples, and try your own hand at making some things. It is important to note that Croquet is built on top of the Squeak system and includes a complete development environment. In other words, everything you need to begin developing in Croquet is included as part of this release.
