by Jean Baptiste Arnaud

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. Eventually If your are interested on my academic skill my academic CV: Here some peoples that can recommend me: Pharo community contacts: - Stephane Ducasse, my actual boss lead the Pharo community: stephane.ducasse(a)inria.fr - Igor Stasenko, a Senior developer involve in Pharo community: siguctua(a)gmail.com - Esteban Lorenzano, a Senior developer involve in Pharo community: estebanlm(a)gmail.com Synectique contacts: - Nicolas Anquetil, researche and lead member of Synectique: Nicolas.Anquetil(a)inria.fr - Usman Bhatti, developer and project lead. usman.bhatti(a)gmail.com Best Regards Jean Baptiste Arnaud jbaptiste.arnaud(a)gmail.com

Re: [Pharo-dev] tiny survey: who uses Pharo Launcher?

by Attila Magyar

I use it, and like it very much (win7). I discovered that that the startup time of the launcher is not as instantaneous as the normal one click image was before. I wonder if anyone else experienced this. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/tiny-survey-who-uses-Pharo-Launcher-tp4755402p4755451… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

This was our first unpredictable breakdown of our core router ever but unfortunately on the free days around Easter. Murphy's law. Luckily the restore went fast and we are back online, including all Cmsbox websites. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: [Pharo-dev] tiny survey: who uses Pharo Launcher?

by Laurent Laffont

Hi Esteban, I use only Pharo Launcher for several months: 1/ ArchLinux, 64 bits 2/ Yes, great improvement in managing images 3/ Suggestions: - show created & last opened date for existing images. Option to sort by date or alphabetically - add a comment field for existing images so I could remember why I have this image - add a search field for templates & existing images - bookmark some templates (I often download Seaside or Phratch, tired to scroll down) - get the descriptions of the jenkins jobs to know what each template is about - notification that a new version of PharoLauncher is available - manage common preferences in PharoLauncher: - shared package-cache - prepare each new image with a set of Metacello configuration & preferences Laurent Le samedi 19 avril 2014, 14:32:18 Esteban Lorenzano a Ã©crit : > Hi, > We want to know a bit more about Pharo Launcher, so please, answer this three points if you are using it: > > 1) which platform are you using? > 2) is the experience satisfactory/easy enough? > 3) do you have some feedback for us (bah, for Damien :P)? > > thanks, > Esteban

Re: [Pharo-dev] tiny survey: who uses Pharo Launcher?

by kilon alios

1) I am using it on Windows 7 , Macos 10.7 , Macos 10.9 and I was also using it on Ubuntu 13.12 that is no longer supported so I dont use it there anymore. 2) I am very happy with it, simple enough and gets the job done 3) I don't like the idea that I can no longer run it on my Ubuntu. I also dont like that it freezes any action while downloading the image , for example when the servers were down instead of returning a "server not found" it was infinitely frozen on downloading and had to force quit it . It would be nice if images came with some form of description for those not familiar with them and maybe a time stamp. I wish python and other languages had something similar , I am big fan of PharoLauncher I would like some form of documentation, I tried several times to understand the code but could not figure out how it works which made it very hard for me to contribute ( I had contributed already the loading bars for it). My intention was to help out into making it accessible through CLI. I have to confess I only spent a couple of hours into reading the code in total and then I gave up.
