[GSoC] Call for students

by Mariano Martinez Peck

Dear Students, Now it is your turn! You will have to register in our website, put there some information, show interest for the projects and contact the project mentors. After the registration step you will get all the mentors information in order to contact them. By pressing the button on the project, you will show your interest. This is not something formal yet. Our mentors will vote for the most interesting projects and in the middle of the voting Google will tell us, how many projects will actually be funded. Voting will happen in April, with final results expected at the end of April. At that time you will finally know if you are accepted or not. Of course, there can be many students interested per project. This means that interest for this project is high, but on the other side a chance that you will be chosen is lower. It is up to you to convince a mentor that you are the best! Note also that the Ideas page is deprecated. On ideas page just the project ideas were collected. Now, we are preparing the real projects. So, please from now on always refer to this link for the projects: http://gsoc2010.esug.org/projects So, the initial steps are: 1. Register on our special Smalltalk GSoC website: http://gsoc2010.esug.org/registration 2. Edit your profile to get some more contact information for mentors to let you know, 3. Fulfill your brief Biography page (see Biography tab on profile), 4. Go to Projects page, choose up to three projects and click there I'm interested button, 5. Contact and discuss with project mentors about your interest. You will be also subscribed to a special mailing list [1] where we will help you with further steps. Deadline: as soon as possible, because the deadline to register on official GSoC website [2] is 9.April, which is, well, soon! But about that later... Finally, we will really appreciate if you can help us to distribute this call for students. One of our goals is to increase the Smalltalk community. Those who have access to universities can distribute this among the students.

[GSoC] Call for mentors!!!

by Mariano Martinez Peck

Hi folks. We wanted to let you know that we are calling for mentors. As you can see in the ideas page: http://gsoc2010.esug.org/ideas There are some projects that still don't have mentors. Furthermore, it would be GREAT if each project can have also a second mentor. This is very important as they can complement each other, be backup, etc. So, please, if you want to be mentor or second mentor, just let us know. If you want to be second mentor of a project, it would be a good idea to talk with the first mentor so that both agree about that (we don't want problems!!!). Remember ALL mentors and second mentors have to register to our website as soon as possible. To register: http://gsoc2010.esug.org/registration All mentors have to register to the mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/smalltalk-gsoc-mentors Janko is doing an excellent work with the website as you can see. Here you can see, for example, the list of the current mentors: http://gsoc2010.esug.org/mentors After mentors (when I say mentors are both, included second mentors), students will have to apply. Of course, we will let you know when. Cheers GSoC admin team esug.gsoc.adm2010(a)gmail.com http://gsoc2010.esug.org/

Dynamic Bindings

by Yoandy RodrÃguez MartÃnez

Hello everyone I've just started in the Smalltalk world and recently moved to Pharo after trying a little Squeak (mostly e-Toys). I want to promote the use of Smalltalk solutions but there seems to be no books on the subject besides Squeak and Pharo by Example. Can anyone point me to any recent book about Smalltalk?
