Something is happening...
Hi, There is something odd happening⦠or better: There is *a lot* happening. Just one example: for the Newsletter, the original idea was to send out once a month a post with 3 things, some of them recycled (e.g. pointers to existing projects, re-use âsuccess storiesâ, things like that. Now already some months ago I had to add âand here are some other interesting announcements, blog posts, videosâ. But this month, the list of things for the newsletter TODO list contains over 60 entries. With the exception of maybe 5, these are just things that happened between sending the February newsletter and today. Newsletter March should be ready till this thursday, I hope, subscribe or read the oder ones here: http://newsletter.pharo.org <http://newsletter.pharo.org/> Marcus

Hi, just couple minor details I've noticed: I'm looking at website, and it says Jan 2018 twice. 02/01/2018 - Pharo Newsletter Jan 2018 01/10/2018 - Pharo Newsletter Jan 2018 Also going inside the newsletter, it doesn't actually say for what what period it is, e.g. https://us11.campaign-archive.com/?u=6f667565c2569234585a7be77&id=429297434e I would expect a title "Pharo Newsletter Jan 2018" or something like that --- this doesn't matter when it arrives my inbox, but looking back at the older mails it is not clear from the content when it was (but maybe it is intentional).

Yes, this is a mistake that I did and I do now know if I can fix it (and how). The newsletter had the correct subject, but the âcampaignâ the wrong name.
Also going inside the newsletter, it doesn't actually say for what what period it is, e.g. https://us11.campaign-archive.com/?u=6f667565c2569234585a7be77&id=429297434e <https://us11.campaign-archive.com/?u=6f667565c2569234585a7be77&id=429297434e> I would expect a title "Pharo Newsletter Jan 2018" or something like that --- this doesn't matter when it arrives my inbox, but looking back at the older mails it is not clear from the content when it was (but maybe it is intentional).
Ah, ok. Yes, I will add a header in the future. Marcus

I will contact Mailchimp support. We have so many subscribers that we have to pay $20 each month now, but in turn this means we get support.

Newsletter is done⦠will be send out by the system at 3pm local time. This time it took a while to go through all the links⦠it is still odd that all this is just Feb 1 to now. Marcus
Do we have any metrics on the number of visits we get on the pharo.org website, which parts are the most visited, etc? The same regarding web downloads, and so on. I understand that CI can distort download count if using only access logs, but certainly if we count a download through the webpage as a "conversion" (and track it somehow) we would have a better idea how big this is becoming. But back to your point and as a bystander these days, it is very hard to be aware of everything that's going on in the Pharo world, and not because of the associated noise, because there is actually a lot of things going on. :) Regards, Esteban A.

Yes, we have Google Analytics installed⦠but I did not look at it for a long time. It is no that spectacular⦠200-300 users per day. But there is not much reason to visit it often, so a large part of that are real new visitors.
The same regarding web downloads, and so on. I understand that CI can distort download count if using only access logs, but certainly if we count a download through the webpage as a "conversion" (and track it somehow) we would have a better idea how big this is becoming.
The new files.pharo.org <http://files.pharo.org/> keeps logs for one day⦠So for today: 17.98 GB transfer until now (not even half day), so around 25 to 30GB per day. But CI is really a lot⦠it is not only the CI of Pharo itself, but others, too. E.g. just the ZWEIDENKER Jenkins builds quite often⦠Tracking the real downloads would be a better way, yes. What I would like to have is a way to count âcurrently running imagesâ. But I guess adding that by default (like all mobile apps now do) would not be wanted.. but one could add some config option. I want that for the Zweidenker pharo images: right now it is easy to count by counting the processes on the virtual beta-swarm and doubling (for production). But soon production will scale up and beta down *and* there will be a alpha swarmâ¦
But back to your point and as a bystander these days, it is very hard to be aware of everything that's going on in the Pharo world, and not because of the associated noise, because there is actually a lot of things going on. :)
It is interesting! Marcus

If the spotter packet was also a "are there updates (image and/or vm) available?" request then - it could be on by default - it would give as well as receive :-) Of course it should work in the background and not slow down image launch, and it should fail silently if there is no network connection.
