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.��
