- (*Intermediate*) *Amber* - *Pharo* interaction via WebSocket. Specifically, Pharo as IDE for Amber -- as continuation of http://gsoc2013.esug.org/projects/amber-tools and http://gsoc2012.esug.org/projects/mmi-amber. Use new tools (Glamorous Toolkit, for example). - (*Advanced*) Boundless and zoomable interfaces with *Pharo*. Continuation of http://gsoc2012.esug.org/projects/esse using Athens [ https://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/Athens] This can be further development of the Esse presentation framework, or creating some development tools for Pharo. - (*Intermediate*) Implementation of "Object Semantic Networks" as a new knowledge-representation engine to be used inside *Pharo* (for various purposes). This task can include development of web interface for the system using *Amber*. Please, contact me directly for details.

[SmalltalkHub down] The server hosting SmalltalkHub at Inria is not responding

Hi guys, The server hosting SmalltalkHub at Inria is not responding. SmalltalkHub is therefore down. I contacted the Inria server admins to learn more about this incident, without success for now. I'll do my best to put it back online as soon as possible! Cheers, Nico -- Nicolas Petton http://nicolas-petton.fr

Porting Spec from Pharo to Amber. This can include finishing an Amber widget library named Moka, as well as porting Spec to Amber and plug it by default on Moka.

Re: [Pharo-dev] Trying to change the color of the window

by kilon alios

yes I feared that things would be hard coded. But the Vistary theme dramatically changes the look of the windows, so it cant be that hard coded. Unless windows treat Vistary theme in some special way but I find that doubtful.

Title: Quartz backend for Athens framework Level: (beginner, intermediate, advanced) Intermediate Possible mentor: (can be assigned later) Esteban Lorenzano Possible second mentor: (can be assigned later) Description Athens is a vectorial graphics library that supports different backends but now is restrained to Cairo. Also, current implementation uses NativeBoost, who at the time generates and executes dynamic code. This combination mades impossible to use the framework for iPad/iPhone applications and we have need to support them. The project then is to create a new backend for the Athens library that can be used both in macs and ipad/iphone platforms. Technical Details The student need to study the current Athens-Balloon and Athens-Cairoo implementation, and the Ballon plugin, to produce a Quartz plugin and to create the Athens extension to use it. Benefits to the Student The student will understand the plugin architecture and how it interacts with the environment, also he will have internals on native boost and vectorial libraries. Benefits to the Community The community will gain the ability of develop better applications for ipad/iphone mobile platforms. thanks, Esteban On 11 Feb 2014, at 11:42, Guillermo Polito <guillermopolito(a)gmail.com> wrote: > * New Pharo Text Model > Skill level: advanced > > Mentor: Guillermo Polito (guillermopolito(a)gmail.com) maybe Igor Stasenko? > > Pharo transition to vector graphics needs a new TextModel. Some work related was done by Dennis and Igor [1] and Alain Plantec [2]. However, polishing and Athens integration is still waiting. In this project the student will look at the existing work and get a polished solution, integrate it with existing tools and Athens.

This project will be about designing a new welcoming interface/desktop.
