Re: [ANN] Foliage: a static site generator

by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas

Pretty cool! Thanks Norbert. BTW I'm using your Mustache library and Futures patch for building Brea (explained below), so triple thanks :-). On a similar front I'm building Brea, which is kind of between a static site generators, because it builds a web site from Markdown files (thanks to Pandoc) and a deucopled CMS because it provides an API to query the site and its data thanks to Fossil. As usual, Pharo glues all together and brings dynamic data manipulation. We have been documenting it pretty actively (in Spanish) in [1] and the source code repository is at [2]. Brea follows the self referential tradition of Smalltalk/Pharo so the site at [1] is done in Brea. The idea is pretty simple: a HTML5UP[3] base template site (see [3a]), is downloaded and a Mustache template (see [3b]) is build from it so a set of Markdown files can be injected in such template to produce the correspondent HTML output (see [3c]). Everything is versioned in Fossil, which provides us with an integrated web UI with version control. The template page can have sparks of JavaScript here and there to extent the site functionality (like in JamStack[4] approach). For example, by clickingÂ the marker at the top right of the page[5] you can get the page comments[5], powered by hypothesis[5b]. Page metadata for such extended functionality or linking the page with the repository is stored as YAML front page or added at creation time. The code to install a theme is at [6] and toÂ create a page on [6a]. Notice that page creation is only 7 lines, while extra lines are related with metadata for extra functionality. As we advance mainly by community workshops and projects on a voluntary basis (and with microgrants like the one of ESUG, which makes a macro-difference here), now our community explorations led us more towards the dynamic counterpart of web site creation, this time combining Fossil, TiddlyWiki and Pharo [7][7a]. So Brea is a little bit quiet after last year ending. I hope once we have matured the dynamic web site counterpart we can retake this again and build momentum around such projects. So, I think Pharo is getting to an interesting point regarding web site generation and is good to have a panoramic overview of what is possible, even with this early developments like Foliage and Brea.

UK Smalltalk User Group meeting - Wednesday, January 27th

by Giovanni Corriga

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!

FreeBSD

by Jimmie Houchin

I am planning an install of FreeBSD. I am new to FreeBSD, but a long time Linux user. I know that FreeBSD has support for Linux binaries and I can try to start there. I know there are no FreeBSD builds. I was wondering what it would take for me to build it on FreeBSD. This will be new to me. So any pointers, help or advise greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jimmie

Re: [Pharo @ FOSDEM 2021] Stand

by Santiago Bragagnolo

a second organization email points out the interest on exclusive contents and merchandise. If you have books pharo related or merchanidse to sell, do not hesitate to share your onlinestore links. Here the mail: A common observation from virtual events is that the stands do not get enough attention from the visitors. After all, there are all these talks going on, and people can go to the stand "any time" i.e. "later". It is for this reason that we think it is important that you do try to think of ways to create the sense of an "event". The static content, videos etc. can help to reduce some of the repetition you get at a live stand with different people asking the same questions over and over, you giving the same demos over and over etc. Then consider: Exclusive content Embargoes - keep some of the content secret until a particular time Events at very particular times - live demonstrations, meet particular developers, discussions about particular software, competitions (check these with your legal person first) FOSDEM scheduled content runs between 10:00 and 18:00 CET both days, but we propose that stands content opens at 09:00 to give you an hour before the other things begin. Any of you who have worked with devrooms or submitted talks will be aware of the database system we use to create the main schedule website, called pentabarf. Currently we are still busy finalising the developer room schedules. Once that is complete, we hope to open up this facility to stands as well so that you can also schedule events such as live demonstrations (each in its own jitsi video room attached to its own matrix chat room) and display these events on our main website and in the apps alongside the rest of the scheduled content. In effect this will give you a 'track' in the schedule for your stand, if you want it. While the other tracks are primarily formal broadcasts of pre-recordings of talks followed by live Q&A, stand tracks will just be informal video/chat rooms with live content and not broadcast. More details to follow - probably later next week. Merchandise We explored the construction of an integrated mechanism to distribute project mechandise to attendees on behalf of stands (i.e. centralising payment & shipping) but unfortunately this has proved to be too complicated to achieve (both logistical and legal issues) so you'll need to rely on any arrangements of your own if you have them.

Re: [Pharo @ FOSDEM 2021] Stand

by Santiago Bragagnolo

Hello, here i bring some more information from the organization: One of the most important points to my understanding, is that we are expected to use Matrix chat system. (what is kind of annoying since pharo chats are on discord). Does any body knows an existing and working way to bridge this two systems? It could be nice to let the people to get in touch with pharo chat directly. Down the informing email from fosdem organization: Hello, Congratulations on your stand at FOSDEM 2021. Now the "real" work starts ;-) We realise we left you very little time to prepare, and we apologise for it; FOSDEM 2021 is a new experience and our tried-and-tested recipes don't work as well in the virtual world. Nevertheless, to recap what we already stated, this is certainly what you will get from us: - stands.fosdem.org/stands/Your cool project (see below) - video.fosdem.org/stands/Your cool project (or a variant of that) (also see below) - chat.fosdem.org/stands/Your cool project (or a variant of that) (also also see below) I'll explain in reverse order. Chat You'll get a chatroom at chat.fosdem.org (with a lot of help from the amazing Matrix people) for your stand, to manage as you wish. We propose that you create some kind of schedule (can be public, can be private) of when an interesting person will be at your stand, so interested visitors can have a chat. We'll make sure your primary stands page links to the chatroom. Video In a way that still has to be developed (or at least worked out), you'll be able to upload (or rsync/sftp) some prerecorded video's (showcases, interviews, demo's, etc.) to a folder under video.fosdem.org. We'll also make sure that there is a link from the stands page. Website There will be a website called stands.fosdem.org which will list under /stands/ all stands at FOSDEM 2021; organised per theme. Each "stand" has a primary (index) page with some generated content. All other pages are up to you: you can put everything on the primary page, create subpages or do something else. The website is generated with Hugo, and every stand is a directory (with _index.md) under content/stands. Your pages are thus content pages (HTML and MD), which means you don't have to care about how it looks (we'll put it in the FOSDEM theme) or how it exactly is configured; we deal with all that. You can add static content (images, etc.) to be used on your pages. We'll fetch all your content once per hour (when the site is up - sometime next week) with git. Therefore, in the acceptance mail, we asked you to provide us with two git repositories; one for the content files (you don't have to provide the rest of the Hugo scaffolding) and one for the static files. Make sure we can pull without authentication. As soon as the site is up, well provide you with the link so you can check how everything will look. You can also clone our git repo and check for yourself (see the Hugo documentation for more details on how - the command is hugo serve). More information is on https://github.com/FOSDEM/stands-website/blob/master/README.md If you have any feedback, ideas for improvements or just general comments, please do not hesitate to drop us an email; we'll try to integrate it. We know it is somewhat short notice, but we had to rewire our entire FOSDEM machine, and such things take some time and a lot of work. We hope this will however recreate some of the buzz of the traditional event; and we hope very much to see you all in physical form at the ULB campus in our trademarked uncomfortable chairs.
