Hi I would go for short (max 15 min topics). In europe we are nearly all in the same time zone.

I guess there aren't many free or online resources that are worth highlighting.

Re: [Pharo-dev] GLMBrick whats next?

by Aliaksei Syrel

Bloc has a big future, for sure! I hope it will move Pharo to a very new level! As Doru said, Brick was born out of necessity. More exactly because of text resizing in Inspector. By default, if one wants to clip/resize text in tabs she uses clippingBounds. And clippingBounds is called during... what would it be?...during drawing! For example *TabExample open. *So morphic (in some cases) calculates geometry of submorphs during drawing. And very first version of Brick was build to shrink/clip tabs with content during layouting and not during drawing :) Simple like that.
