Esug - Angela Bragagnolo

by Santiago Bragagnolo

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 She has been stopped in the airport since the information in the ambassy website "was outdated" (really really dickmove.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

[ANN] Badges

by HernÃ¡n Morales Durand

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

Re: [ANN] Package Formulas

by HernÃ¡n Morales Durand

Hi Guille, To add a new formula just compile a new method with the pragma <formula: #mycategory> in PackageFormulas. The class side of PackageFormulas has all the formulas as methods. There should be some primitive form of "help" in there to write a formula, but it is just a matter of pasting your install expression: [image: Screen Shot 2022-08-16 at 14.11.36.png] Let me know any suggestions.

Hi HernÃ¡n, Thanks, it looks very interesting! How do you add a new formula? I couldnât find any info on where formulas are fetched from in the readme (there is a bullet on âwhere they are *not* fetchedâ butâ¦).

Re: [Pharo-dev] Omnibase/Monibase repository removal

by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas

Hi all, We have been using ReStore[1] as a lightweight approach to data persistence and ODBC handing form Pharo/GT with pretty good results, as can be showcased in our #CandidatosEnDatos (candidates in data) project [1a]. [1] https://github.com/rko281/ReStoreForPharo [1a] https://mutabit.tiddlyhost.com/#CandidatosEnDatos The microwiki is in Spanish, but there are some data storytelling and visualization we did regarding the candidates for the past presidential elections in Colombia (screenshot below and you can zoom them and fine others in the site linked above). We used ReStore as the database backend to store and query around 10 thousand tweets for over a month from all the presidential candidates in Colombia a store them in a SQLite database. Then we made several visualizations and inject them using Norbert's excellent Mustache for Pharo into a LaTeX template to produce the data visualizations as high definition PNGs. ReStore worked more than well, helping us with all the object-relational mapping and migration, with just some desired features we would like to have but any deal breaker and we didn't findÂ any problem with our SQLite backend regarding performance or size of the information we wanted to work with. I know that ReStore has support for other database engines. Unfortunately I had to cancel my participation to this year ESUG, so I wont be able to share more details about this and other projects I was showcasing there. And maybe a project about data storytelling and visualization for civic tech is pretty far away of most use cases where a Object-relational mapper is needed... or maybe not and this combination could work for other people too. I'll be happy to share more details if that the case. Enjoy ESUG and hopefully we will find soon in virtual events or next year in ESUG.
