[Pharo-project] CleanUp unused packages

by Mariano Martinez Peck

http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=2165 There are some packages that has to be removed. For example: - PinesoftEnhancementsForFreeType: This package is empty - FixUnderscores: This package is old, is not needed any more and has no references The fix is to evaluate: (MCPackage named: 'PinesoftEnhancementsForFreeType') unload. (MCPackage named: 'FixUnderscores') unload. Cheers Mariano

[Pharo-project] ESUG selected as GSoC 2010 mentoring organization!!!!

by Mariano Martinez Peck

We are incredibly proud to announce that ESUG was selected for the GSoC 2010. We have a long list of wonderful projects, mentors and a cool website. We want to thank you to all the people who help us publishing project ideas, giving feedback on the submit text or the English, etc. For the moment, we don't know the slots (amount of projects) that we will receive. Don't worry. We will contact you again very soon to let you know the following steps. Now, prepare yourself. We have to show the rest of the world why we love Smalltalk so much :) Thank you very much. The very happy GSoC admin team

[Pharo-project] Scratch.app 1.3 hits the App Store, tossing free (USA) trial codes.

by John M McIntosh

In as many weeks I've managed to send 3 releases of Scratch to the App store, so it's becoming more mature. Now a small secret, if you have in the past gotten and ran iSqueak.app from me on your iphone or ipod touch then you can ALSO run a beta version of Scratch.app. You just need to email me (not the list) for a link to the magic provisioning file. Secondly, I've a bunch of 30 day trial codes to hand out, good for the USA store only. If you would like a code, again please email me (not the list). -- =========================================================================== John M.
