Beginner's question / zinc w/ seaside...
by Cameron Sanders June 7, 2012

June 7, 2012

Hi All. Can someone please point me to the documentation on how to register my apps when using Zinc & Seaside? And/or advise me on how to proceed. Thanks in advance. 1. I started with a clean Pharo-1.4. I pulled in Seaside, and some of my class DpFnSeriesProcessorReportQuery. 2. Then I manually started Zinc via ZnServer vi "ZnServer startDefaultOn: 8080". Opening a browser gave me the default Zinc page(s). 3. Later (after struggling to get my app registered) I spotted the Seaside Control Panel on the menu, I did a "ZnServer shutDown". Followed by opened the Seaside control panel. 4. In the Seaside control panel I added the Zinc Adaptor, and clicked the "Start" button. Opening a browser gave me the familiar Seaside intro/config pages. But minutes later... it was back to the Zinc default pages. [Perhaps I had another pharo-seaside image running ... and didn't notice??] 5. I stopped & started the server through the Seaside control panel, *but I still get the zinc pages.* - Separately, I played with variations on ... DpFnSeriesProcessorReportQuery class>>initialize which is DpFnSeriesProcessorReportQuery registerAsApplication: 'reports'. AND WAAdmin register: DpFnSeriesProcessorReportQuery asApplicationAt: 'reports'. - At present, I see 'reports' registered in the "Request Handler Browser" launched from the Seaside control panel, but I am unable to get to the pages as noted up in list-item #5. Any advice or guidance is most welcome! Thank You! Cam PS: Stef, I had drafted a few paragraphs describing our usage/application involving Pharo, but then the guy I asked to review it went on vacation, then I was out of the office, then the financial markets distracted us -- clients first! I have not forgotten, and I still plan to donate, but more later, on a separate thread.

Something does not work with issue tracker status
by Mariano Martinez Peck June 6, 2012

June 6, 2012

Hi guys. Previously, we use to mark issues as "Fixed" once someone proposed a solution. Now we have to first put it as ""FixReviewNeeded" and then when someone else takes the time to review it put it as "FixToInclude". Now...the problem is that nobody reviews and issues get outdated. And then, when trying to load the slice or .cs it does not work anyomre, or it is outdated, or whatever. Meaning that it has to be regenerated and we spend the double of time. So, what can we do to improve this???? ideas: 1) We should be more confident ourselves. Imagine we have proposed something and it is as "FixReviewNeeded". If we have run the tests, and we didn't break anything, and the problem is really fixed, and the topic is not something REALLY critical, and no one has reviewed your issue, why not to putting it as "FixToInclude" ? 2) We really need people helping review changes. There are only a few guys that do this. You DON'T need to be an expert. "FixReviewNeeded" does not mean "HasToBeReviewedByAGuruExperiencedHacker". It just means "it just requires another eyes". So, please, help us review issues. Is the only way to improve. so, what do you think? -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

IWST'12 Call for papers
by Alain Plantec June 5, 2012

June 5, 2012

Dear Smalltalkers, We apologize for multiple reception of this announcement. The International Workshop on Smalltalk Technologies, is a European Smalltalk User Group (ESUG) Conference joint event, that focuses on research activities - namely academic creative work undertaken on smalltalk use, and more generally on object technologies. IWST was launched in 2009, in Brest, during the 17th ESUG Conference. The second edition took place in Barcelona, and the third edition was held in 2011 at the heart of historic Edinburgh. Next edition will be in Gent, Begium this summer (28th of august). ESUG gathers groups of professionals and hobbyists who share an interest in the Smalltalk programming languages and related technologies. The goal of the workshop is to create a forum around advances or experience in Smalltalk. IWST contributes to triggering discussions and exchanges of ideas. As always, we make a point to have a very constructive paper review process that aims to provide in-depth comments and suggestions to all of them (no one-liners!) This makes it ideal to disseminate new research directions, and is a good venue for early stage PhD students to receive feedback on their work. In addition, we intent to invite best papers to a journal special issue as we did last year. Looking forward to your submissions, and to meeting you in Gent! Best regards, LoÃ¯c Lagadec& Alain Plantec Co-chairs of IWST International Workshop on Smalltalk Technologies 2012 August 28th, 2012 Gent, Belgium. ESUG 2012 Smalltalk joint event Important dates Submission deadline: June 15, 2012 Notification deadline: July 15, 2012 All accepted papers will be published in ACM DL, and the authors of the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version to a journal special issue (To Be Confirmed). Goals and scopes The goals of the workshop is to create a forum around advances or experience in Smalltalk and to trigger discussions and exchanges of ideas. Participants are invited to submit research articles. We will not enforce any length restriction. However we expect papers of two kinds: Short position papers describing emerging ideas. Long research papers with deeper description of experiments and of research results. Topics We welcome contributions on all aspects, theoretical as well as practical, of Smalltalk related topics such as: Aspect-oriented programming, Design patterns, Experience reports, Frameworks, Implementation, new dialects or languages implemented in Smalltalk, Interaction with other languages, Meta-programming and Meta-modeling, Tools Links home page:http://www.esug.org/wiki/pier/Conferences/2012/International-Workshop-… submission:http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwst2012 Publication Both submissions and final papers must be prepared using the ACM SIGPLAN 10 point format.

Another new Blog
by Guillermo Polito June 5, 2012

June 5, 2012

Hi all! Probably some of you already saw my tweets about it: http://playingwithobjects.wordpress.com/. I'll be writing there stuff, whatever I want to write :). Probably in this first few weeks, documentation about the Pharo bootstrap project. I didn't make it public before because I wanted to see if I had time and will to write. And it seems I have both :). So far, three posts: - how the objects are formatted in memory for the VM - image based vs non image based environments - bootstrap introduction Please, do not hesitate to leave me your comments. I'm very far from being a gurÃº on any of the things I write, so do not expect that. Even better: expect me to make mistakes and write wrong things, and please correct me :). Saludos, Guille
