The truth on GSOC, ESUG and bad attitude

by Luc Fabresse

Hi all, ------------ FACTS As you all know, I am the ESUG treasurer. So please find the numbers attached for the ESUG support of GSOC projects in 2013. ESUG sponsored 3 "extra-GSOC" meaning extra slots not accepted by Google. In the file it is: Alejandro Infante, Pablo Estefo and Benjamin Arezki. All in all we paid: - 3695EUR (~5000USD at that time i.e. same cost as a regular GSOC) each projects - Serge trip to Mentor summit And we received 5552EUR from Google so yes we lost ~6582EUR That is easy 13*500 USD would only cover 1 plain extra-Gsoc and we sponsorized 3. I also think that it is important to send someone to the GSoc mentor summit because it participates to the fact that Google recognizes ESUG ang gives slots the next year. It is alos important to note dates. ESUG paid first and then has been refund by Google. It would not be possible to do it without ESUG. ------------ FROM HERE, MY POINT OF VIEW ON THIS STORY: As some of you know, I doing the ESUG treasury stuff on my *own* time and it takes a lot! I am doing it because I strongly believe that Smalltalk (all falvors!) is a really great language that should be more widespread. I also completely open to discussions. The ESUG board can also explain its actions and even money status. I can do errors too. So if Janko wants some details on GSOC related money, JUST ASK! I cannot admit that: - Janko wrote about some money accusation. This is directly directed against the treasurer so me. And honestly, just reading again that I am biased and that I hide or steal money make me think that I should better quit. - Janko asked for apologies! what is that? even if I would have done a mistake (and ESUG did not loose money), YOU STILL MUST THANK ME for DOING THIS BORING TASK! and then I can correct mistakes if any - People wants an answer fast, this conversation started yesterday and I am spending my week-end with my kids I am really fed up with this kind of attitude. Stop accuse, better ask, discuss and we will solve the problems together if any. But I think it will never happen... #Luc The disgusted Treasurer of ESUG who will finish his week-end in bad mood

Hi, so that's not exactly what i had in mind. In a portable git interface for Smalltalk code, menticello would be an optional plugin (just like store, envy, sts or whatever), but it would be self contained with a clever api to implant it into a dialect. Let's call it "git native" with plugs for dialects...

The halo works on morphs. If you have an athens surface which is not in a morph, the halo does not work. Anyway this is a bug. 2014-02-09 4:27 GMT+01:00 Sean P.

Re: [Pharo-users] Stupid Question

by David Harris

Alt-Shift-Left click does indeed initiate the halo under Windows. But... In my testing, I used AthensDemoMorph new openInWorld When I use the Move element of the halo, I get "MessageNotUnderstood: AthensDemoMorph>>passenger" I'm a novice, but that seems unusual. ________________________________ From: HernÃ¡n Morales Durand <hernan.morales(a)gmail.com> To: Any question about pharo is welcome <pharo-users(a)lists.pharo.org> Sent: Saturday, February 8, 2014 12:22 PM Subject: Re: [Pharo-users] Stupid Question Bring the halo menu.

Re: [Pharo-users] Xs&Os game

by kilon alios

I really like the GUI , is it just Morphic ? Your impossible mode is quite easy to win. One thing I would change is when I use the ToggleMode to toggle to Player vs CPU I would like it to stick even after I finish the match. Because as it is now If I click New Game it reverts back to Player vs Player mode. Also I would like if you expand your window to add the bottom text because as it is if it mixes with other windows its hard to read being outside its window. Well done , looks very good indeed :) back to studying your code.
