[Pharo-project] One-Click Experience ...
by GeertClaes Dec. 15, 2009

Dec. 15, 2009

Really like the one-click experience, great!!! Looks and feels so much better. Maybe the image also needs to include Seaside, AIDAWeb, Magritte and Pier though no? ps. It would be nice to see Pharo use a "Pharo VM" instead of the Squeak VM (I am on Mac) though :) -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/One-Click-Experience-tp4168628p4168628.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Pharo-project] Let's hire a Pharo developer
by alesch Dec. 15, 2009

Dec. 15, 2009

I'm new in the Smalltalk community, and even newer in Pharo. If the following has been discussed before, I have not found it in the archives. What do you think about hiring a developer to work exclusively and full time on Pharo? At ESUG'09 there were about 250 people, and Smalltalks'09 had about the same number of attendees. 100 people paying â¬10/month yields â¬1000/month. I'm not sure, but I think that it is a good salary in Argentina. Let's take advantage (in the good sense) of the vibrant Smalltalk community in Argentina, and the actual state of the euro/peso. For europeans, â¬10 is about two beers. Make it an automatic withdrawal, so once you've taken the desition, you never think about again. I'm the first one in the list. Who else? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Let-s-hire-a-Pharo-developer-tp4161222p4161222.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I was dead tired over the week-end so I slept :) Now I was watching the mailing-list and the bugtracker and I upgraded to the latest 1,1 and this is really cool. This is cool to see all these small improvements one by one making the overall system better. I really like the energy that we are all creating. This is cool. This is why in the past I was a squeak harvesters (even before the cool bugarchive viewer), because I really hoped that we could build a nice and cool system. And now this is happening with pharo and I like that. Once we will have fixed and improved we will be able to focus on some larger chunks :) Stef
