Easiest light weight cloud/web persistence for Pharo?
by Tim Mackinnon Oct. 11, 2020

Oct. 11, 2020

Hi everyone - Iâm wondering what is the recommended way to save some simple user data for a Pharo application I would like to run on the cloud (probably initially digital ocean, but could be AWS if it came to it). Initially I thought I might try and run my little app in Digital ocean (I followed someoneâs steps a few years ago, and had a simple seaside app running quite well) - so I was thinking of starting there. I know there is Svenâs P3 - but Iâm not sure Iâm ready to run and maintain a SQL database for a simple application, but could be persuaded it its simple to setup with little maintenance. Would mongo be a suggestion - is that easy to setup and run? (And is that Voyage?). Possibly I could even use image persistence, and fuel out a Dictionary from time to time - but I think that might be a little bit too belt and braces for me. Is there something that gives a little table of tradeoffs with some simple ways to get started? Tim

[Offtopic] Documentary Project
by Eric Gade Oct. 7, 2020

Oct. 7, 2020

Fellow Squeakers and Pharo-ers, Please forgive me if this message is inappropriate for the list. I am hoping you all will be interested in the following project. For the past year and a half I have been working on a team that is developing a documentary <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/messagenotunderstood/message-not-under…> on the history of personal computing. Our goal is to interview the very people who laid the foundations for personal computing while they are still with us, learning about their original visions and getting their take on the present. In this sense it is both an aspiring feature length documentary project but also an endeavor in oral history and posterity. Many of the themes we want to explore will be familiar to the members of this community (as will the title). Last fall we were able to shoot our first three interviews. We used these to make a short teaser <https://vimeo.com/429045920>, with the idea it could be used to raise funds for future rounds of interviews. That said, we are currently in the middle of a Kickstarter campaign <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/messagenotunderstood/message-not-under…> to get the second round funded. If you are interested in learning more, feel free to reach out to me directly and to visit the film's campaign site <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/messagenotunderstood/message-not-under…> and website <https://messagenotunderstood.com/>. We need all the promotion we can get! Thanks! -- Eric

You can find more information about them on: [1] https://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/indieweb/doc/trunk/docs/es/index.html#tall… It has been really nice to see how workshops, prose and code advance intertwined and feedback each other in this community experience made on a voluntary basis. In the "behind scenes" links below you can see how the writing advances at a pretty good pace. Also I would like to thank ESUG for their key support to this initiative. Cheers, Offray Ps: here are the "behind scenes" links [2] https://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/indieweb/timeline [3] https://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/indieweb/tree?ci=tip&name=docs/es&type=tree [4] https://code.tupale.co/Offray/Brea [5] https://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/brea/
