GSoC 2019: Extending DataFrame library

by Atharva Khare

Hey Pharo-users! I am Atharva, a final-year undergraduate studying Computer Engineering in India. I have been selected in GSoC 2019 for the DataFrame library, and over the summer, additional functionality to the library will be added. You can go over the summary of my proposal over at https://khare.dev/posts/2019/05/gsoc-2019-extending-dataframe-library-for-p…, or you can view the detailed proposal at https://khare.dev/misc/Pharo_GSOC_2019_Dataframe.pdf. I am interested in knowing your feedback over the proposal, specifically on functionalities that are planned, and the ones that you would like to be added. Documentation will also be a major part of this project, including examples - let me know if you have a specific use-case, in which you would like to see how DataFrames can be used. :) You can track this project at this link: https://khare.dev/tags/gsoc-progress/, or see monthly progress here: https://khare.dev/tags/gsoc-summary/. Feel free to reach out! Atharva Khare

I haven't run Pharo on ARM, but support seems available since around 2015... http://forum.world.st/ARM-Cogit-td4821228.html And ARM builds are a run as part of the VM integration testing... https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/blob/Cog/.travis.yml#L100 cheers -ben

Re: [Pharo-users] Fwd: introducing my GSoC project - Improving Code Completion

by Myroslava Romaniuk

Hi Thank you Ben!! And no worries, I in no way consider the pharo community to be unwelcoming; the lack of response just made me think that i sent the message to the wrong mailing list or something, so i fired off another email just to be safe :) And re incrementally integrating the work: thanks, that's a great idea -- i think that's what we are actually going to do!

Hi, After searching a little bit i found: https://medium.com/concerning-pharo/pharo-pi-9eef257b6a21 But maybe some from Pharo VM can address ARM subject in more detail... regards, bruno -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

Introduction GSoC 2019

by Nina Medic

Hello, I am Nina, and I am a student from Serbia. Currently I am on the second year, of my master studies in Computer science. I have been working with Pharo for more than a year now. As a project in one of my classes, I was implementing a program that parses graphs and makes a visualization of them. Last semester I followed MOOC for Pharo. A couple of days ago, I was fortunate enough to be accepted for this year Google Summer of Code. The project I will be working on is called *Graph library with layouting algorithm*. What I will do is implement the graph structure with all necessary parts in one separate library. Beside that I will include layouthing algorithms. Some of which are already implemented as a part of some other projects and packages, those I will pull out. For the other ones, I will be using doctoral dissertation from Vaderna Renata titled *Algorithms and a language for the support of automatically laying out diagram elements*. You can find my proposal here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1V8_HaZnxYsCfaiZs4vI1C5Dh4TvRPz-H51aYOuY… I would like to know, what are you thinking about this project. How important is for the community? One of fellow students from GSoC (we are both working for Pharo consortium) and I are considering using the same blog. What do you think about that? I will be also posting about my progress on Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicka992 which will make it easy for everybody to follow my work. I am looking forward to working on this project and with all of you. Sincerely, Nina.
