Spotter idea - bring existing code windows to front
by Ben Coman March 5, 2017

March 5, 2017

A quick note on an idea that strikes me, I often find myself with a large number of windows open and I know I have a code window open previously but the task bar is a bit opaque to find it, and its so cheap to open a new code window from Spotter, thats what I do, and open yet another window, making it harder again to find any particular window. You can see the downward spiral here. So apart from more discipline is managing the number of windows I have open a passing idea is that for if an existing code window is open, Spotter brings that to the front rather than opening another window. Optionally, if that code window is dirty, as well as bringing it to the front a fresh code window be opened as well, so that the two are immediately comparable. cheers -ben

Google Summer of Code 2017: Call for mentors for Pharo Consortium
by Serge Stinckwich March 5, 2017

March 5, 2017

Heartiest Congratulations ! Pharo Consortium has been selected as a mentor organisation for Google Summer of Code 2017. Google Summer of Code is a global program focused on introducing students to open source software development. Students work on a 3 month programming project with an open source organisation during their break from university. Read more at https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ How the program works ? Organizations: Open source projects apply to be mentor organizations. Once accepted, organizations discuss possible ideas with students and then decide on the proposals they wish to mentor for the summer. They provide mentors to help guide each student through the program. Mentors: Existing contributors with the organizations can choose to mentor a student project. Mentors and students work together to determine appropriate milestones and requirements for the summer. Mentor interaction is a vital part of the program. A mentor may propose or endorse a project and each project has to be about Pharo or its ecosystem (e.g., a library). Projects will be mentored by one or more mentors and executed by one student. Students: Students contact the mentor organizations they want to work with and write up a project proposal for the summer. If accepted, students spend a month integrating with their organizations prior to the start of coding. Students then have three months to code, meeting the deadlines agreed upon with their mentors. Student coding period: May 30 - Aug 29 (Entire timeline can be viewed at: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/how-it-works/#timeline) Student stipend: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/student-stipends We are currently at the phase of identifying mentors and projects. The next phases will be about students selecting projects, and the community selecting the projects with their associated mentors and students which will be sponsored by the GSOC program. How to register ? Simply by replying to this email and joining the Slack channel... to have more discussion about what project the mentor will take up, what she/he wants at the end of the coding period and then we can invite them to the GSoC org dashboard). Hence, we invite regular & enthusiastic Pharo contributors to be a mentor with Pharo Consortium for GSoC 2017: 1. Kindly respond on this thread if you'd like to be a mentor, or wish to propose a project. An existing list of projects is already available here: http://gsoc.pharo.org/ and we already have a handful of projects and mentors chosen. Feel free to collaborate with existing mentors as well. 2. Join dedicated channels, #gsoc-students for general interactions with students & #gsoc-planning channel only for GSOC admins and mentors on Pharo slack. In order to get an invitation for pharoproject.slack.com visit the URL here: http://slackinvites.pharo.org/ 3. Please open relevant issues and make a roadmap of the projects being mentored by you so that students can start contributing to them already. If you want to mentor a project and there is no open-source repository at the moment, please built one ASAP. 4. If you know any students that might be interested to work on Pharo during the summer and be a part of GSoC as well, please ask him/her to start contributing to the Pharo projects, discuss their proposal, follow instructions that shall be posted soon in this mailing thread and submit their application by April 3, 2017. We don't know the number of slots attributed by Google to Pharo org, but the more students proposal we will receive, the more slots will be attributed to us. We remind you about the mentor responsibilities: ... to your Org Admins - Communicate availability and interaction expectations - Inform when mentoring capacity will be reduced, as early as possible (e.g., family, health, vacation) - Inform when there is an issue with a student - Lacking communication, activity, visibility (MIA), or progress - Participant Agreement violations (e.g., plagiarism, harassment, fraud) - Bad fit or stepping down - Formally evaluate student participation. - Communicate with admin and student before failing ... to your Students - Help and/or teach the student - how to be a part of your community - communicate more effectively and in the open - work with your orgâs preferred communication channel (IRC, Slack, etc) - use your orgâs version control system - ask good questions and get answers to their questions - provide convincing technical argument and constructive discussion - be independently motivated and productive - solve difficult technical problems - Keep track of their progress, keep student informed as to their status - Communicate on a regular basis, once a week or better (for GSoC) - Give constructive feedback, be patient, and be respectful - Respond to questions within 24 hours (occasionally under 36 hours is ok) - Establish realistic work objectives and timeline expectations - Re-evaluate scope with student when significantly ahead of or behind expectations - Work with devs and community to facilitate acceptance of student work Read more about responsibilities here: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/responsibilities Looking forward to a great guided summer by the talented mentors of our organisation. Warm Regards Pharo Organisation Admins (Alexandre Bergel, Jigyasa Grover, Serge Stinckwich & Yuriy Tymchuk)

Code Completion in Pharo
by komarlu2＠fit.cvut.cz March 4, 2017

March 4, 2017

Hello to all, I am a student at the Faculty of Information Technology of the Czech Technical University in Prague and I decided to make Code Completion in Pharo the topic ofÂ my Bachelor's degree and try to improve it. If you have suggestions on what should change / how to change it so you would be satisfied with it, I will appreciate any input on this topic. It would mean a lot to me if you could find two minutes and take this survey (there are only like 7 questions, so it won't take longer than those 2 minutes): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd7lx6gIN079-vMvMwRsnA_AX_e_7sZEz2 XJQ4059nk_-LV6w/viewform Regards Lukas

[ANN] XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) for Pharo
by Torsten Bergmann March 4, 2017

March 4, 2017

Hi, if you work with UML, modeling tools or model data exchange often you might know XMI - the XML Metadata Interchange format. I wrote a little package that makes it easier to work and browse data based on this format within Pharo. For instance you can open an XMI object either from a given stream or URL: (XMIFile fromURL: 'http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/20131001/UML.xmi') inspect You can also open a file XMIFile importFile Code is available on https://github.com/astares/Pharo-XMI The package includes a small GT extension allowing you to walk and dive through the XMI structure (see attached screenshot) and as the XMI nodes are unified it is easy to code some code generators or transformers in Pharo afterwards. For instance I used this package for a simple Pharo code generator based on Eclipse EMF models/diagrams. Within the code you will find some examples to browse through prominent XMI models like: - UML Spec => (XMIFile fromURL: 'http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/20131001/UML.xmi') inspect - VISUAL PARADIGM => (XMIFile fromURL: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/staruml/XMI/master/unittest-files/VP_XMI2…') inspect - ENTERPRISE ARCHITECT => (XMIFile fromURL: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/staruml/XMI/master/unittest-files/EA_XMI2…') inspect - ARCHIMATE => (XMIFile fromURL: 'https://www.reflektis.com/repos/archimate-3.0.xmi) inspect Once the inspector opens you have to select the "rootNode" and then the "Hierarchy" tab. In Pharo 6 you can load "XMI" right from catalog. Hope the package is useful for others too. Bye T.

[ANN] Regex Tester Tool for Pharo
by Torsten Bergmann March 4, 2017

March 4, 2017

Hi, I wrote a little tool to test regular expressions and verify that given samples match it. It also helps to divide an expression into subexpressions to retrieve parts of a matched string. Screenshot is attached. Code, load instructions and full tutorial on how to use it is on https://github.com/astares/Pharo-Regex-Tools Hope it is useful for others too. Have fun! Bye T.

Seamless integration with GTInspector
by Andrei Chis March 4, 2017

March 4, 2017

Hi Denis, Can you try Seamless with GTInspector in the latest version of Pharo or Moose and let me know if you see any slowness. Not sure how Seamless uses GTInspector to inspect proxy objects but now as the inspector uses FastTable by default there is no cache whatsoever. What this means is that the string representation shown in a FastTable presentation is recomputed every time fast table needs to display an element in a row or column. For example, this is the case when you scroll or when you resize the window (all visible elements are recomputed). In a local context the inspector is still very fast as it is. Just we should double check that it's also the case for Seamless. If not there are some caches that could be put into place relatively easy, either at the level of the inspector or fast table. Just before doing this I'd like to know if this is actually a problem. Cheers, Andrei
