Reorganize World menu items - survey
by DavidBajger Jan. 22, 2021

Jan. 22, 2021

Hi here! I was proposing survey for Pharo users related to menu re-arrangement, currently implemented by @gcorriga. Relate GH issue here https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/issues/8198. I will put results of voting to related GH issue then. So here are questions to you (same will be posted on Pharo Discord -> #development channel): What would be ideal name for "VCS" top menu item? Menu aggregates all tools related to versioning, source code mgmt, changes, history. Please answer by voting buttons, or propose your own: 1. "VCS" (keep existing proposal) 2. "Source" 3. "Versions" 4. "Version Control" 5. "Changes" (or anything else) What would be ideal name for "Tools" top menu item? Purpose is to be the default entry point for any non-standard tools that someone might want to have loaded in the image. E.g. if you load Teapot, the two menu items would be found there. Currently will include just Roassal. Options: 6. "Tools" (keep existing proposal) 7. "Community" 8. "3rd Party" 9. "Other" 10. "Applications" (or anything else) Complete overview (screenshots) here: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/issues/8198 ----- David Bajger -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

Jan. 19, 2021

Hi, Iâve been toying around with a web site generator the last months. Some people were showing interest and asked me to release it. It is still pretty basic but I manage my blog with it . Iâm all open ears about what you think, what doesnât work and what is missing. Please read about it https://norbert.hartl.name/blog/2021-01-17-foliage-released.html <https://norbert.hartl.name/blog/2021-01-17-foliage-released.html> Hopy you like it, Norbert

UK Smalltalk User Group meeting - Wednesday, January 27th
by Giovanni Corriga Jan. 15, 2021

Jan. 15, 2021

The next meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group will be on Wednesday, January 27th. For this presentation, guest speaker Michael Engel will bring us back to basics with a bare-metal Smalltalk-80 system for the Raspberry Pi. In 2020, the Xerox PARC research laboratory celebrated its 50th anniversary. One of the most important developments coming out of PARC is the Smalltalk system, which integrates a programming language, operating system and graphical user interface. Today, most of the Smalltalk systems run in hosted mode on a conventional operating system. This contradicts Dan Ingalls' idea that "an operating system is a collection of things that don't fit inside a language; there shouldn't be one". Accordingly, original Smalltalk systems, e.g. for the Alto workstation, ran on the bare metal of the computer. In this talk, we will discuss an approach to create a bare-metal Smalltalk-80 implementation for the Raspberry Pi ( https://www.raspberrypi.org/ ), a popular family of ARM-based systems. Interesting aspects that will be investigated are the overhead involved in bringing the system to life and debugging it, adapting the system to different Raspberry Pi models, and constraints due to properties of the hardware and the Smalltalk-80 VM. Michael Engel ( https://multicores.org/ ) is associate professor for compiler design at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim/Norway. His research interests lie on the intersection of compilers, operating systems and modern hardware. In previous positions, Michael worked at different German Universities as well as Oracle Labs Cambridge and Leeds Beckett University. He also was founder and CTO of kernel concepts, the first German company working with embedded Linux systems in 1999. Given the current COVID-19 restrictions, this will be an online meeting from home. If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup page ( https://www.meetup.com/UKSTUG/events/cbklbrycccbkc/ ) to receive the meeting details. Donât forget to bring your laptop and drinks!
