Pharo Branding Organization on GitHub

by Torsten Bergmann

Hi, the Pharo community is growing and our lovely Pharo system is an innovation driver with cool tools and projects but it is also used in real projects in research and business setups. There are still many entries left on all our TODO lists - not only in shaping the next stable Pharo release(s) but also in bringing more attention to people about what Pharo is all about. A few of us already follow a well know marketing phrase: âDo good and talk about it!â as some report about Pharo news in BLOGS, on TWITTER or by writing articles on MEDIUM.com or even books. I also like that we have a growing number of YOUTUBE videos about Pharo. We also have a regular Newsletter - even a Facebook page, ... This gives visibility to Pharo activities and is already a good step in doing some advertising. An additional important lesson in successful marketing is that one has to give a homogenous "Brand Identity" to a project or product to be easily recognizable and rememberable over time. We already have the nice lighthouse and use it all over - but often it is hard to find the logo or other marketing material in correct size or correct graphics format. We should improve on that side too. As we work mostly with git I therefore now have setup a new organization "pharo-brand": https://github.com/pharo-brand that should give easy access and group existing branding material in one place. The site now already includes the following three projects: 1. pharo-brand-material This should be the place for "logo" and "logo-flat". In the subdirectories you will find the logo in three different variations: - logo composed of text + icon + beacon - logo composed of icon + beacon - logo beacon only including subdirectories for "vector" (like SVG, PDF) and "screen" formats (like PNG, BMP, ...) 2. pharo-github-images These are the Icons i created for the various github organizations like - https://github.com/pharo-project - https://github.com/pharo-nosql - https://github.com/pharo-rdbms - https://github.com/pharo-contributions - https://github.com/pharo-brand and a template for additional ones 3. pharo-jingle A jingle is a short song or tune used in advertising. Jingles are a form of sound and or video branding - when you see it often as an intro or outro you will more easily remember the brand name (Pharo in this case). This repository includes a "Pharo jingle" that can be used as a start or end section within own custom videos about Pharo and related projects. The short video jingle was created using a free video software called OpenShot using a sound jingle from freesound.org - Pharo_HDV720_24p_1280x720.mp4 - Pharo_HDV1080_25p_1920x1080.mp4 - Pharo_HDV1440_25p_1440x1080.mp4 Note that the jingle is currently a proposal - if you have better ones we can discuss it within the community on the mailinglist. I hope the repos will improve a little bit the situation in finding and organizing the brand material. Feel free to comment and give feedback or even add marketing material (templates, icons or other) yourself to the repos. Thanks T.

I used to code in Smalltalk professionally, but havenât had a paid job in 26 years. I used to produce code for Squeak back in the early 2000âs, but stopped because my code never made it into the image that I know of. I just code for myself now. This was a huge problem with Squeakâ¦ at first I thought that it could be fixed in Squeak and I spend *a lot* of energy to get to a setup where not every fix and improvement is ignored. In the end one of the reasons why I left Squeak. Marcus

Re: [Pharo-users] Connection Timed Out

by Jeff Gray

My code creates a mail message and adds it to a collection. Then in a forked process I read the collection of messages one by one and attempt to send them. It uses a timer to wait and try again, stopping only when the message collection is empty. I can share my code (it's far from enterprise strength) but I have no idea whether it will help in your case. It doesn't do anything funky - it just uses the standard methods from ZdcSecureSMTPClient. The only time that fails for me is when there's something wrong with the account/credentials. -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
