Hello, I am Arnaud Jean-Baptiste, I am in Post-doc in Rmod team, my post-doc finishes in December. And I am looking for a job position. My Experience: Since 5 years, I am in the Rmod team working on Pharo language: First I conducted a PhD focused on how to integrate new language features (I reified references), to enforce security policy. During my PhD, I acquired a deep knowledge of the Pharo virtual machine, language design and understanding complexe legacy software (when I began a PhD there are no correct documentation to rebuild the VM in a clean way). My PhD can be found on my website: http://jeanbaptiste-arnaud.eu/phd/ During my Post-doc, I parsed python language using moose for extract security information rely to static analysis. In addition, I worked 6 months with Synectique (software quality company focus on legacy langage), my job was to parse and extract data from Cobol language to provide visualisation (more detail can be found: http://jeanbaptiste-arnaud.eu/cobol/) In parallele I cultivate interrest on low level features, I am the maintainer the NBOpenGL implementation and provide some tutorial and simple tool (texture importer, mpeg renderer, etc.). I am the actual developer and maintainer of the RaspberryPi PharoVM project: (https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/view/ARM/) I began to introduce FFI for ARM. I am beginning to revive the project of golubovsky, to generate android version based on the last interpreter. Other projects or more fun projects: - Opal compiler, at beginning of my PhD I was developer on the Opal project: - Storm, a binding of a 2D physical engine (focus for game), I am contributor on the project of Esteban Lorenzano, - Gameboy, I began to do from scratch a gameboy emulator (try to be closest possible of the hardware), on Pharo based on the documentation found on: http://gbdev.gg8.se/wiki/articles/Main_Page, It is fun and I made great advance (graphic/engine/memory/processor ok, need to finish material binding interrupt and debug), but sadly I do not have time anymore. Obviously, I am a Pharo contributor.

[ANN] FontAwesome for Seaside
by Torsten Bergmann April 19, 2014

April 19, 2014

Hi, FontAwesome is (as you may know) an iconic font designed for the user with Twitter Bootstrap. I now created a "FontAwesome for Seaside" project - which is a small Seaside wrapper for the FontAwesome project (using the latest version 4.0.3). This is intended as an addition to the already available "Bootstrap for Seaside" [2] project that I wrote and both should allow you to give your Smalltalk based web application a nice stylish look. The project is located on STHub, see [1] where you will also find the documentation. A live demo can be found on http://pharo.pharocloud.com/fontawesome. To try yourself load it from the Pharo config browser or read the docu to see what is required. Thx T.

why is MorphFocusCtrlNavigation registered in all morphs?
by Tudor Girba April 18, 2014

April 18, 2014

Hi, I am working on tool support for debugging keymapping related issues, and I just realized that MorphFocusCtrlNavigation (containing Ctrl+Tab and Shift+Ctrl+Tab) appears to be registered in all morphs. Is this a bug or is intended? I think this is a prime candidate for a global shortcut. Or? What is worse, Ctrl+Tab does not seem to work at least on Mac.

Japanese character in Pharo
by jannik laval April 18, 2014

April 18, 2014

Hi guys, A user of Phratch said to me that the japanese characters are not recognized in Phratch. I tried to locate the problem and it seems that Pharo itself does not recognize them. In a Phratch image, just run this line, that display the contents of a file with japaneze character: (FileSystem workingDirectory / 'locale' / 'ja.po') contents Or, use the attached file, which is the same. Is it a known problem ? or should I configure something in settings to take into account these characters ? Thank you. -- ~~Jannik Laval~~ Ãcole des Mines de Douai Enseignant-chercheur http://www.jannik-laval.eu http://www.phratch.com http://car.mines-douai.fr/

About fonts
by stepharo April 18, 2014

April 18, 2014

Hi pharoers I found the problems with the fonts and now I understand one of the possible way Roassal got broken. Imagine the following FT is on -> roassal works perfectly (using vectorial fonts) the standard fonts (default, code and others) are using vector graphics font. I deselect FT -> defaults and other are now in strike fonts like vera I reselect FT -> the defaults are still in strike fonts and this will then lead to errors in roassal. So I think that we should have a real object handling the restore and others. I will try to have a look in the end of the week. stef
