Hi there...
I have about five hours a week to spend on recreational
software development (flow, other Squeak things, etc.). I like
to release on the first Friday of the month; it seems like a useful
and easy-to-remember ritual. If I miss a release date, I'll usually
just reschedule it for the next first-Friday. Ah, the joys of
recreational software development. :)
The naming theme here
is "major rivers". Minor releases are named after
tributaries... Nominations for future names gladly accepted; any river
on Earth (or anywhere else :) is fine.
