Omnibase/Monibase repository removal
by Norbert Hartl Aug. 24, 2022

Aug. 24, 2022

To all Omnibase and Monibase users. It turned out that neither of those are open source. The author of the database contacted me clarifying the situation that he has the copyright and never released something open source. This means that I will remove the Omnibase repositories in few weeks from https://github.com/ApptiveGrid/MoniBase <https://github.com/ApptiveGrid/MoniBase> and https://github.com/pharo-nosql/OmniBase <https://github.com/pharo-nosql/OmniBase> I'm very sorry about that but someone just took the code 9 years before, copied it on github and put illegally an MIT license to the repository. We only want free software in our repositories and hence the above will go away. As we see it essential to have a good OO database in pharo we will see how much effort it will be build a small and simple OO database that can replace Omnibase. regards, Norbert

[ANN] Badges
by HernÃ¡n Morales Durand Aug. 24, 2022

Aug. 24, 2022

Dear all, I'd like to share a new Spec app for building badges made with Pharo 10. It is based on the Shields.io badge service provider. Select the badges you want, complete the required variables, and get your badge(s). You can also save and load commonly used variables, so it may help a bit to automate presenting your project's README. See the install instructions and usage video at: https://github.com/hernanmd/shield-badges Please note that this is a 0.1 release, so there is certainly a lot of room for improvement. Cheers, HernÃ¡n

Esug - Angela Bragagnolo
by Santiago Bragagnolo Aug. 23, 2022

Aug. 23, 2022

Hello everyone, my wife Angela was going to assist esug this year as a student volunteer. She has been stopped in the airport since the information in the ambassy website "was outdated" (really really dickmove. i am starting to hate) and she was actually needing a visa. By the time being she was set into a cell-dorm with only her phone and no electric-socket to charge (so soon incommunicated). She was told to be sent back to paris in 3 days. Meaning that she is going to be in jail for 3 days because the ambassy is not able to keep their website updated. 1st- know that she is not attending. 2nd- please if you know someway to help contact me. Thanks all. santiago

Hello Sasa, we got finally Gordana to talk. Sorry to not keep the update as it happens. I am doing 100 things at the same time. Ill let you know if we need the skill again. Thanks a lot. Update: I got the emergencies from taiwanese consulate in paris and budapest (there is not in belgrade, not sure why). Normally the consulate in budapest is in charge of these things. They told me that the taiwanese passport is not accepted as a valid traveling document. What is kind of a problem. We are trying to get with the chinese ambassy to see if they can deal with the problem. Keep you updated as possible El dom, 21 ago 2022 a las 16:54, Sasa Prokic (<prokic_sasa(a)yahoo.com>) escribiÃ³: > > Hi Santiago, > I am Serbian/Canadian from Serbia and I could probably help with > translation.

[ANN] Package Formulas
by HernÃ¡n Morales Durand Aug. 16, 2022

Aug. 16, 2022

Hi everyone, I have spent some time creating a new package manager UI for Pharo 10 to simplify package finding and installation. It is a Spec application which introduces a new concept: Package Formulas. These are just annotated methods with an installation expression, so they do not depend on Metacello, Gofer, Pakbot or any other package manager. Some features are: - Package Formulas already includes a predefined set of categorized formulas. - UI allows you to install packages in bulk. - It is simple to create a script from selections. - Scripts can be decorated with pre, post, and wrapper actions. - You can request to list your own or recommended formulas by opening issues from the UI. - Then the package formula will be reviewed to avoid naming conflicts, and to prevent adding broken formulas. - The UI could be used with a custom container of your favorite, validated, isolated or private formulas. - (Currently) it does not automatically collect packages from remote repositories or query on-line servers, however, you can easily jump to browse a selected project homepage. - License is MIT. https://github.com/hernanmd/package-formulas Hope you like it. Best, HernÃ¡n
