Rocket Chat - An open source alternative to Slack
by Dimitris Chloupis Dec. 17, 2015

Dec. 17, 2015

So since Slack has been so successful for our community , far more that IRC has been in terms of participation and useful discussions (at least the 2 years I have been around) it made me wonder if I could find an open source alternative to Slack that is at least as good as it if not better without a very different workflow (so we have to learn everything from zero) all the big pros and something that could easily interface with Pharo. Ladies and gentlemen meet Rocket Chat https://rocket.chat/ The good news about Rocket chat is that it seems to have all the pros of Slack like close integration with tweeter, github etc etc . It has clients for all OS and mobile devices. But not the big cons like the 10.000 messages limit ( which we have long exceeded). Its open source and most importantly written in javascript and we know that pharo can interface with javascript in many diffirent ways . Hosted on Github and deployable with open source technologies. And even its license is MIT. The reviews I have read about it are very positive. So what do you think ?

Machine Learning in Pharo
by Evan Donahue Dec. 16, 2015

Dec. 16, 2015

I saw a post on pharo-dev a little while ago about adding some machine learning libraries to pharo, and I was just wondering if there have been any developments on that front. I'm about to do some machine learning work myself, so it might make sense to coordinate with anyone out there already working on it. Cheers, Evan

Roassal Performance Issues when applying layout
by Pablo Polanco Dec. 16, 2015

Dec. 16, 2015

Hello, we are Pablo Polanco and Jorge Ampuero and we are Computer Science students at Universidad de Chile. We are currently taking a course on Robotics Software Engineering dictated by Johan Fabry. We want to visualize a simple directed graph and we are experiencing performance issues when layouting our visualization in Roassal. We provide the report from the Time Profiler when we visualize 13 elements and 38 edges: http://pastebin.com/zsh8YFPx Should it take so much time? How could we improve it? Is there another more appropriate layout? Thanks in advance :) â

New web tutorial
by stepharo Dec. 15, 2015

Dec. 15, 2015

Hi guys with Olivier Auverlot we did several attempts (over the year) and we are happy to release a first draft of a web tutorial around Pharo. We ask the user to build a simple blog engine. It goes over - Mongo - Seaside - Magritte https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/TinyBlogTutorial/5/artifact/book… Soon Rest/Deployment/Garage?/NeoJSON/XML If you want to participate (translate it to english) or improve it you are welcome. We hope that it will serve as a basis to a lot of Seaside applications. This tutorial will be used in the lecture I'm giving next weeks in Togo and will be edited as a lulu book. Stef and Olivier.
