oopsla becomes splash. copy and paste as i don't think that note will be there still when splash2011 appears.

SPLASH isn't just a new name for our favorite conference—SPLASH has a new charter and mission: To bring together practitioners and researchers who are passionate about software, programming, design, and software engineering to explore the frontiers of software and software practice. SPLASH takes most of its name from OOPSLA: Systems, Programming, Languages, and Applications: Software for Humanity. OOPSLA's original mission of understanding and promoting objects has been mostly achieved with the pervasive adoption of objects, though there is still a lot of work to do. But OOPSLA has always exceeded its mission—being an engine for innovation and incubating important new ideas related (even remotely) to objects. OOPSLA has helped spawn multiple technologies and conferences including the Unified Modeling Language (UML) MODELS conference, Agile, Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), Onward!, WikiSym, Design Patterns and the Pattern Languages of Programs (PLoP) conferences, and the Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS).

if the argumentation is oopsla becomes splash therefore oo is dead, i would add: let's see if dead sentenced live longer. anyhow, more and more revivals are popping up: centralization, locked in, parallelism, even the osi networking crowd celebrate/feel a come back.

so and they are all over tw now?¿ g
