Hi,
I will be showcasing Pharo, Roassal and Grafoscopio at re:publica 2018, next week. As you may know, re:publica[2] is one of the most important and visible media & digital culture conventions in Europe and is a good scenario for the Pharo community. You can find details about my participation at [1]
The "on how to use the Grafoscopio *pocket infrastructure* for data activism and digital citizenship " soundbite just blew my mind. "Pocket Infrastructure" hits the nail on the head for sure. I positively love that angle. Compared to python, node, etc, there is much less fuss to get started and it allows to focus on the data narrative right away. I regularly make folders in my Dropbox where I throw a pharo vm and a pharo image I work on, saved using https://github.com/Pharophile/HOImageSaver so that I can always go back in time easily (saved me more than once!). This very handy for working on machine A, and resuming work on machine B, or C etc. And is indeed "Pocket Infrastructure".

I will be making intensive refactoring on the Dataviz package to create some usual and unusual data visualizations from data exported from Twitter, so I may be more active those days in the Discord and mailing list channels, is some questions arise.
Do you already use DiscordSt?
Thanks in advance for the Pharo communities support. I wouldn't be able to be there without it.
What you achieve with Pharo makes me proud of supporting Pharo. Kudos Offray, we need more people like you in the world. _/\_ Phil
Cheers,
Offray
