Hi Konrad, I'm the person at JPL who (somehow) got "The Powers That Be" here to agree to join the Consortium.
I'm also the major champion of Pharo at JPL, and am leading an effort to get Pharo introduced & infused at JPL. I see the initial "market" for Pharo here to be: * Scientific & engineering data analysis & visualization, * Modeling and simulation, * Internal web servers, * Custom ground support & test systems, * Small-to-medium sized scripting to "support applications". I'm sure more application areas will open up as I get people to start using Pharo in their particular areas of expertise. I'm doing what I can be promoting Pharo, providing introductions & training, and I'm now working on demonstrations that can catch the attention of both engineers and managers -- to see the potential. Wish me luck! -Ted -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
