The Squeak community maintains several mailing lists such as for beginners, general development, and virtual machines. You can explore them all to get started and contribute.
The Squeak Oversight Board coordinates the community’s open-source development of its versatile Smalltalk environment.
The Squeak Wiki collects useful information about the language, its tools, and several projects. It’s a wiki, so you can participate!
The Weekly Squeak is a blog that reports on news and other events in the Squeak and Smalltalk universe.
The Squeak Development Process supports the improvement of Squeak—the core of the system and its supporting libraries—by its community. The process builds on few basic ideas: the use of Monticello as the primary source code management system, free access for the developers to the main repositories, and an incremental update process for both developers and users.

If you identify an issue in Squeak, please file a bug report here. Squeak core developers regularly check the bug repository and will try to address all problem as quickly as possible. If you have troubles posting there, you can always post the issue on our development list.
A Monticello code repository for Squeak. Many of our community’s projects are hosted here. Others you may find at SqueakMap or the now retired SqueakSource1.
Using the Git Browser, you can commit and browse your code and changes in Git and work on projects hosted on platforms like GitHub. With Monticello you can read and write FileTree and Tonel formatted repositories in any file-based version control system.

You can always take a look at the progress in the latest alpha version (aka. Trunk). Feel free to contribute to the next Squeak release with commits to the inbox. Alpha versions are not expected to be stable. All bundles (i.e., image + sources + vm) whose filename contains a YYYYMMDDhhmm token include the last stable VM. Some Trunk features might benefit from the latest VM (aka. nightly build), which can be downloaded from the OpenSmalltalk-VM repository on GitHub.

The rise of food technology offers a pragmatic solution to the ethical dilemmas of industrial farming. Cultivated meat (grown from animal cells without slaughter) and advanced plant-based proteins allow society to meet global nutritional demands while eliminating the need for intensive animal farming. The Legal Personhood Movement
Access to fresh water and a diet to maintain health and vigor.
To navigate this evolving landscape, it is essential to distinguish between two foundational philosophies that guide the protection of animals: animal welfare and animal rights. While both frameworks seek to reduce harm, they operate on fundamentally different ideological principles and propose distinct paths forward for society, law, and industry. 1. Defining the Paradigms: Welfare vs. Rights

True wildlife conservation focuses on preserving ecosystems, combating poaching, and mitigating human-wildlife conflict to allow species to thrive in their natural habitats. Legal and Policy Landscapes
The animal rights framework rejects the premise that animals are human property or resources. The ultimate goal of the animal rights movement is abolitionist: to end all forms of animal exploitation, including factory farming, animal testing, circuses, and, in strict interpretations, pet ownership. Major Pillars of Concern
Many jurisdictions have passed sweeping legislation to penalize cruelty and mandate care standards. To navigate this evolving landscape, it is essential
Animal rights is rooted in deontological (duty-based) philosophy. Philosophers like Tom Regan and Peter Singer argued that animals possess inherent value and have a right to life and liberty.
Access to fresh water and a diet maintaining full health and vigor.
While they share a goal of protecting animals, they represent fundamentally different philosophies, scientific approaches, and visions for the future. Welfare vs. Rights: The Great Divide Defining the Paradigms: Welfare vs
Legislation varies widely. Economic development often takes precedence, but growing awareness is driving new anti-cruelty frameworks. Emerging Horizons
Animal welfare focuses on the , operating under the premise that humans can responsibly use animals for food, research, companion ship, and labor, provided that their suffering is minimized.
The rights framework is deontological, meaning it is based on absolute moral duties rather than a calculation of costs and benefits. From an animal rights perspective, a "humane" slaughterhouse or a "spacious" laboratory cage is still fundamentally unethical because the premise of ownership and systemic exploitation remains unchanged.
Sees the domination of women, the exploitation of animals, and the degradation of nature as interconnected oppressions rooted in the same patriarchal, hierarchical worldview.
