[Pharo-project] CLFramework and Pharo
by Torsten Bergmann July 2, 2010

July 2, 2010

Hi Gerard, >DonÂ´t exists problem for change the license. What differences exists between >one and other? I dont understand. If you dont know the difference why did you change from MIT to BSD for CLFramework? I'm not a lawyer but AFAIK the MIT states more explicitly the rights given to the end-user. And there are many BSD versions "Modified BSD license", "The Clear BSD License", "FreeBSD license", ... MIT is what Pharo uses and accepts for inclusion. Keeping MIT for the framework would also help to reuse part of your code in Pharo itself or use the UI builder as part of special Pharo distributions. Maybe also there is a way that the project continues >I believe is best create another from scratch, but with WPF like model and >XAML as UI definition language. That is for people with best knowledges. That sounds like the project really stopped from your side. Sad since beside "Dr. Geo II" [1] it was another real and interesting use case for Polymorph and was/is a usable UI builder. Laurent wrote on [2] >nullpointer, the code is important, sharing your experience is *far* more >important. Please, do so. Yes that would be good to know about the reasons. We know that you were not satisfied with your own code - but who of us really is? >The main difference is addition of grid control. Better widgets for Polymorph are always a plus ... when you accept MIT and sent the agreement [3] to Stef it may not be lost and can be folded back to Polymorph and Pharo. Or someone may step up and continue with the whole project. Would be sad if all your efforts would be lost. Thanks T.

Re: [Pharo-project] [Vm-dev] Re: Tools to Build Cog on Win32
by Rob Rothwell July 2, 2010

July 2, 2010

I have a good [rough draft] start on very detailed (too detailed?) steps to properly install Cygwin and build the Cog VM on Windows. I just need to add preparing the image for first time use, etc...: http://book.pharo-project.org/book/Virtual-Machine/Building/BuildVMOnWindow… (I haven't started editing/revising yet). Anyway, if anyone could help me properly position my two topics, "Cog VM" and "Traditional (Squeak) VM" underneath "The MS-Windows way," I would greatly appreciated it. Although they are subsections, they are fully "unindented" like a chapter in the table of contents...

I tend to run into applications where it makes sense to have both. The big blobs that do not change a lot (photos, documents) in the cloud, the objects with behaviour in the oodb. Stephan

by Noury Bouraqadi July 1, 2010

July 1, 2010

Dear Smalltalkers, The dead-line for registration at early bird fees is approaching (one month to go). So, hurry up and register on our new seaside-based server. http://registration.esug.org/ This server comes with new features. You can now do a group registration and make a single payment. Also, we have reduction tickets (typically for Golden and Platinum sponsors). The ESUG 2010 conference program is about to be ready, and it is as promising as was for the previous editions of the conference. Checkout the preliminary schedule is already on the web, http://www.esug.org/Conferences/2010 See you in Barcelona, Noury ESUG treasurer
