Smalltalk journey - next opportunities ?

by Cyrille Delaunay

Hello dear community ! I started my Smalltalk journey 16 years ago and since then I have been delighted to keep it going all along my career path. I have been excited to make it real and to meet great people on the road. I will be seeking new challenges. If you think this background can be of interest for your project or your team, feel free to reach out :) Cyrille Delaunay linkedin.com/in/cyrille-delaunay-307a4a57

Re: Wanted: Companies using Pharo

by Marcus Denker

Hello, As this is confusing: I did setup *two* instances of this, there is *no exchange* of data between them. This means, if you already added your company to the ESUG list, you have to add it to the Pharo list separately. If you add for Pharo, you can add your company to ESUG, too, if you like. https://pharo.org/Companies https://esug.org/companies.html I guess this is more confusing than I imagined.

Wanted: Companies using Pharo

by Marcus Denker

We have a list of Pharo Companies at https://pharo.org/Companies A problem of course was that the list got out of date quite quickly. We now have improved it: - there is a form to add a new company - the contact person will get a link to update the infos at any time - the system sends a mail every year to the contact to remind to check if the data is still current - website is rendered directly from the data The current page still has a simple rendering: all companies alphabetically. But with the data we will be able to improve this step by step, so consider adding the info not currently used (e.g. map position, logo...) Future: - nicer page, e.g. with company logos - check links regularly (and send mail in case it is broken) - interactive map For now, the page contains both the new and the old list, with the idea of removing the old entries eventually. (If you are on the ESUG Mailinglist, you might have seen that we did the same for ESUG, for Smalltalk in general. The link to add your company there is https://esug.org/companies.html ) Marcus
