PharoLauncher as the default Pharo download on pharo.org?
by Damien Cassou Jan. 27, 2014

Jan. 27, 2014

Hi guys, what do you think about setting the PharoLauncher as the default download for mac os x users? If you never tried the launcher, please try it now: Mac OS X: https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoLauncher-Mac-Package/lastSu… Ubuntu : https://launchpad.net/~pharo/+archive/stable Others: http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Pharo/PharoLauncher -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm."

PharoLauncher as the default Pharo download
by Andy Burnett Jan. 27, 2014

Jan. 27, 2014

á§ That is a good question. I have to admit that I do use iTunes, and I have often been annoyed by not being able to - easily - find the files. I can certainly see the value of presenting end users with simple interfaces, but I am with Johan, I would like to be able to put my images somewhere more obvious - to a developer - particularly because this would make Dropbox/google drive synching easier. Obviously, we can do all of this, but it has never been quite as obvious as I would like it to be.

Call for Participation in the Smalltalk Devroom at FOSDEM2014
by Stephan Eggermont Jan. 13, 2014

Jan. 13, 2014

Call for Participation in the Smalltalk Devroom at FOSDEM 2014. http://www.fosdem.org, please forward " A devroom for the Pharo, Squeak, Amber, GST, EtoilÃ©, Seaside, Moose Smalltalk projects & Newspeak as derived language. Smalltalk environments offer a very high development productivity, unmatched by their successors. Come do some pair programming with us and experience yourself the advantages of a real OO environment" The meetup will take place Saturday, February 1, 2014, from 9AM until 5PM, building AW. This room has 72 seats, a VGA video projector and wireless internet. More information will be available later. If there are volunteers to record video content, the FOSDEM organization kindly offered to provide needed equipment & instructions. Please let me know if you would be willing to spend some time pointing a camera at a speaker. Proposals on content and format are welcome. People interested in running a session should send me an email at stephan ( @ ) stack ( dot ) nl with 'FOSDEM2014â in the subject and the following information: - Their name - The project they are associated with - A short bio, to be put on the website along with their speaker name - (optionally) a picture of themselves - The title of their session (which will go on the website and in the booklet) - A abstract describing the session in further detail. - The desired length of the session. - The desired time slot in which they want to hold the session. I will send out updates on a regular basis to the lists and anyone stating his interest. Suggested values for the duration are 55min, 25min, 6m40 (Pecha Kucha). The desired time slot is meant to help you prevent conflicts with other dev rooms in which you might have a talk or your travel arrangements. There are alternative, non smalltalk-specific tracks available: lightning talk and the main track The deadline for submissions is December 31, 23:00 GMT+1. Devroom related URLs: http://www.pharo-project.org http://www.squeak.org/ http://etoileos.com/ http://www.seaside.st/ http://smalltalk.gnu.org/ http://www.moosetechnology.org http://amber-lang.net http://newspeaklanguage.org/ http://www.esug.org First proposal already arrived: Stefan Marr proposed: I could give a presentation on SOM (Simple Object Machine) Smalltalk. I would especially go into detail of the Truffle-based and the RPython (PyPy) based implementations to show modern ways of language implementations with the goal of achieving high performance.

Spotlight Demo
by Sean DeNigris Jan. 1, 2014

Jan. 1, 2014

I needed an entry completion with groups, like Mac's Spotlight. While I was at it, I figured it would also be useful as a UI for the existing Spotlight. So I made a SpotlightMorph, which is a very Mac-like stand-alone Morph, which is a textField + results morph, and an adaptor for EntryCompetion, SpotlightEntryCompletion, which can be passed to #entryCompletion: A short screencast will be available at https://vimeo.com/82953583 in about 45 minutes. And here's a screenshot for the impatient ;) To load (tested in Pharo 2.0 latest): Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'SeanDeNigris' project: 'SeansPlayground'; package: 'Spotlight'; load. Then try: SpotlightCompletionExample open. or SpotlightMorphExample exampleFileSearch. or SpotlightMorphExample exampleSmalltalkSearch.

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo on Android - is it available?

Hi peter I will let esteban reply to you because I do not know where the code is hosted. We should check https://ci.lille.inria.fr/pharo/job/PharoDroid Now there is not much effort on PharoDroid I know that it is working but I imagine that it could be way better (you know time/moneyâ¦) Stef On 31 Dec 2013, at 17:44, PBK Research <peter(a)pbkresearch.co.uk> wrote: > I would like to experiment with Pharo on Android - I have just acquired an Android tablet, and I do not want to learn another development language to produce my own simple apps.

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo on Android - is it available?
by Ignacio MatÃas Sniechowski Jan. 1, 2014

Peter, I don't know the current state of Android's VM. It is, however, fully functional on ARM as I regularly run it now my Raspberry Pi both under Linux and RISC OS. Note, however, that -at least the version for the RasPi- is not a COG VM. So running Pharo in the RasPi is slow given the limited resources of the RasPi. Best Nacho *Lic.

Hi pharoers Sometimes I think that we are crazy to build this system but this is really important to have dreams and make them becoming true. :) I really like what we are doing: we are building a strong community and a really great system. Of course it could be better but it is going in the right direction at full speed. Now remember that Pharo is not ours but YOURS and you can get an impact! Pharo is not read-only. This year we got some nice and important changes. I think that in 2014 we will have some important improvements. We will have to finish what we started and build a solid ground for the next iteration. I really like our community because it pushes me forward and because my dreams are becoming reality :) I wish you a lot of success and health. Stef

towards moose in the pharo ide (gtinspector / gtdebugger)
by Tudor Girba Jan. 1, 2014

Jan. 1, 2014

Hi, Some of you asked how the GTInspector and GTDebugger are different from the existing infrastructure. They are quite different from the norm in that: they are tiny, and they are highly extensible. Here are some posts that describe what makes them different: http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/the-moldable-gtinspector-deconstructe… http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/dissecting-the-gtinspector/ http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/extending-variables-shown-in-gtinspec… http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/moldable-gtdebugger These tools are already the default development tools in the Moose image. As you can see, Moose is reshaping the Pharo IDE. I think this is exciting. This should be just the beginning. To make it better, we need your energy: - Apply and extend these tools for your context (this is what makes them unique). - Tell us what works and what does not work. - Ideally, start working with us on this topic. In particular, I am looking for people that would like to spend some time working on Morphic widgets. It's your turn now. Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "Every thing has its own flow"
