Yes. I would really like to have a pool of freelancers around Pharo. We really would love people to make money around Pharo.

Hi Francois, S, Francois Stephany piÅ¡e: > For some freelance work, my clients sometimes ask if there are a lot of > people that can continue/maintain their project if I die/quit/start a > bakery business. I have the same question often. And helps when I say my customers: 1. That there is a company (not just a person) nearby (same town or say 100 km around), which works on similar projects (Smalltalk and Aida/Web in my case) 2. That people from international community can be asked for help, because my projects are coded (including comments) in English, even that projects are for domestic customers. So far my customers didn't come to question yet if tools used are open source or not and how is about their long-term availability including vendor stability. They know that partly are open source partly commercial but this is too far from their interest. Best regards Janko > > Who could continue Pharo/Seaside project?

Company/freelance working with Pharo/Seaside

by Francois Stephany

Hi there, For some freelance work, my clients sometimes ask if there are a lot of people that can continue/maintain their project if I die/quit/start a bakery business. Who could continue Pharo/Seaside project? Especially in the French/Dutch speaking world. I guess the Pharo Consortium will help to get some credibility when proposing Pharo to a client.

OK, here is an early, simplified, totally incomplete, proof of concept: http://www.squeaksource.com/ZincHTTPComponents/Zinc-WebDAV You'll need to load XML Support and the very latest Zn version. I tested on Mac OS X against a free application called 'MediaMaster Server' ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mediamaster-server/id427559105?mt=12 ), which gives you a very simple GUI to quickly set up a Web DAV server. I don't know if you are on Mac. ZnWebDAVClient new host: 'localhost'; port: 8000; username: 'johndoe' password: 'secret'; list; at: 'foo.txt' put: (ZnEntity text: 'Pharo Smalltalk'); at: 'foo.txt'. Right now, you can list the (top-level) files, load a file and save a file. This server returns all files as bytes, I don't know if that is normal. There are so many limitations that I can't list them all ;-) Have a look at the code, this is just the beginning. Most probably this won't work for your server: if possible, give me a login so that I can see what goes wrong. Regards, Sven

Pharo is slowly but steadily emerging. A more robust and cleaner infrastructure has been put in place In this session we will describe the steps achieved so far in Pharo and the next ones we want to achieve: like having a better FFI, integration process, smaller kernel, new scalable canvas API. In addition we want to give the opportunity to pharoers to ask questions, raise points of discussions. > - The desired length of the session. 55 min > - The desired time slot in which they want to hold the session. 10h-11h > On Dec 7, 2011, at 11:52 PM, Stephan Eggermont wrote: > Call for Participation in the Smalltalk Devroom at FOSDEM 2012. > > "A devroom for the Pharo, Squeak, GST, EtoilÃ©, > Seaside, Moose Smalltalk projects.

I haven't said it would work out of the box, just that Zn should contain the necessary things to build upon ;-) WebDAV is a quite complicated standard, multiple RFCs, using lots of XML, so it will be difficult to implement all of it. Since I like the DrGeo project and its goals, I will try to help. Give me some time, and I will see what I can come up with. Regards, Sven
