Just try it with current java developers and try to identify a segment that would be interested in smalltalk, and see what story we should tell to get some people in that segment to try it out.
I did identify one thing: get high school students (i.e., young people) interested in Smalltalk. That's why I tried (and failed) to launch the Canadian Smalltalk Competition. You should understand that I put a LOT of work into this, *a great deal of sweat and tears*. You have no idea. (Just ask David Buck of Simberon.)

The amount of time and money that can be quickly spend on marketing is enormous. We are playing the long game, it is essential that you create enough small successes for yourself to stay motivated.
