FWIWâ¦ Pharo by Example 9 is for sale on Amazon. The link for the book which reads âGet printed (soon)!â just takes you back to the same page [Pharo by Example 9](http://books.pharo.org/pharo-by-example9/), although if you hover over it, it says âAvailable now!!!

Due to the untimely passing of Eelco Visser, members of his former research communities TU Delft, CWI, OOPSLA, SLE, and IFIP Working Groups 2.11 & 2.16 have joined in organizing the Eelco Visser Commemorative Symposium. The event will be held on the occasion of the first anniversary of his passing in April of next year. You are cordially invited to contribute to this symposium, by writing a paper and giving a presentation related to Eelco and his influential work, or by just attending. Please see the CfP below. Best regards, The EVCS Organizing Committee ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eelco Visser Commemorative Symposium (EVCS) 5 April 2023 Delft, The Netherlands https://symposium.eelcovisser.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eelco Visser (1966â2022) was Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Professor of Computer Science and Chair of the Programming Languages Group in the Department of Software Technology at TU Delft. His research career started with studies at the University of Amsterdam and CWI, followed by appointments at Oregon Graduate Institute and Utrecht University. He was highly influential in the software language engineering and programming language design communities. His many scientific contributions about meta-languages and domain-specific languages have been of high importance in both the scientific and industrial communities. He was a founding member of IFIP Working Groups 2.11 (Program Generation) and 2.16 (Programming Language Design). Eelco Visserâs work on the cutting-edge language workbench Spoofax started with a ground-breaking publication in 2010, for which he received a Most Influential Paper award at OOPSLA 2020. As a strong advocate of tool-supported programming education, he led the development of WebLab, a learning management system that is in use for a range of programming languages and courses at TU Delft. He also led the design, implementation and use of conf.researchr.org, a content management system for scientific events used by hundreds of international events since 2011. --------------------------- Call for Papers --------------------------- A commemorative symposium for Eelco Visser is to be held on the first anniversary of his untimely passing away in April 2022.

Re: FileTree to Tonel migration.

by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas

Vince, Thanks, your advice point us to the solution. We revert the changes in the image to the commit we wanted, filed out the changes as a .st file, went back to the tip of the branch and filed in the changes back.

Re: Looking for North American programming language/Smalltalk researchers (academic or industry)

by Yanni Chiu

Iâd be interested to be on the committee. Any date is okay, since Iâm local to Toronto. It would be good to have a real âCamp Smalltalkâ where we could have a time and place to code together. There hasnât been a big Smalltalk event in Toronto since the 1990âs, IIRC. Itâd be great if Richard has actually sparked a âSmalltalk Renaissanceâ (a least in Toronto).

by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas

I could be part also of the committee and my preferred date would be around June, as we have closer to the end of the semester and traveling to or near to Toronto is easier.

FileTree to Tonel migration.

by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas

Hi, We're trying to organize better our Pharo repositories with a friend, adding properly named folders for the software part (what we call Apps/) and for the documentation part (what we cal Docs/), as we feel that src/ is kinda generic for a source code repository as everything is source. Anyway, while working on such renaming we created two different repositories, with two different file formats Tonel and FileTree and he continued to work on the last one, while I recreated the repository, with our ad-hoc convention (Apps/Package) in Tonel. Now, despite we're working in the same repository, he is working in a branch that contains code exported in FileTree format, while I'm working in the Tonel one. How can we migrate all the code to a single format? Seems that Tonel is the one choose, as far as we have seen in the documentation[1].

Yes, Iâm interested but would prefer the second half of June (our school is on the quarter system) and would prefer weekdays rather than weekends.
