The topics of your paper can be on all aspect of Smalltalk, theoretical as well as practical. Participants are invited to submit research articles or industrial papers. This year we want to open two different tracks: one research track and one industrial track with less scientific constraints. We expect papers of three kinds: Short position papers describing emerging ideas Long research papers with deeper description of experiments and of research results. Industrial papers with presentation of real and innovative Smalltalk applications; this kind of paper should enlighten why Smalltalk is really appropriate for your application. We will not enforce any length restriction. -------------------- Important Dates -------------------- Submission deadline: June 15, 2014 Notification deadline: July 15, 2014 Workshop : August 19, 2014 All accepted papers will be published in ACM DL (To be confirmed) ------------------- 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 ------------------- Best Paper Award ------------------- To encourage the submission of high-quality papers, the IWST organizing committee is very proud to announce a Best Paper Award for this edition of IWST. We thank Lam Research Corporation for its financial contribution that makes it possible a price for the three best papers: 1000 USD for first place, 600 USD for second place and 400 USD for third place. The ranking will be decided by the program committee during the review process. The awards will be given during the ESUG conference social event.

That is really weird: in the code above the file is named 'server-log.txt' while in the screenshot the file is named 'License-log.txt', how is that possible ? The error is that the file is closed, probably 'underneath' the logging code, so the question is, how is that possible, who did that ? Can it be that two file (descriptors) got swapped ? Did you save the image, move it around, across machines ? > tx. > > Usman > > <Screen Shot 2014-05-21 at 1.20.46 PM.png>

A possible problem coming from Zinc?

by Usman Bhatti

Hi, When turning on ZincFileLogger on a Zinc server, after some time (1h or so) I get the FileWrite error (see screenshot). I browsed through the bugs related to Zinc in the Fogbugz but couldn't find any bug related to my problem. I get the problem both on Mac (local machine) and Ubuntu (DigitalOcean instance) on Pharo 3.0 (release). This is my code to register logging on the server events: server := ZnMultiThreadedServer startOn: 4001. logger := ZnFileLogger onFileNamed: 'server-log.txt'. server log addListener: logger. Any pointers? tx. Usman [image: Inline image 1]

Re: [Pharo-users] Versionner: Specifying un-configured packages as dependencies

To me, it is preferable to add a configuration (even if very small) for each dependency outside your project. It is the way it should be done (that's why Versionner only allows that) but they are always other ways or workarounds.

I think that most people come back to DNU because it is there and simple to implement. But some others also told me that they use a different design from the one of Ghost and I do not know what they change and why.
