Good thread I would love also to hear what other Pharoers work behind the scenes My own project is Ephestos a visual coding enviroment for Blender . I have made some good progress in 2014 and I am sure 2015 will bring more features. Ephestos will benefit the Pharo community by 1) Offering full access to the most powerful open source and free application for creating of 3d art , Blender. 2) Allow Pharo full access to Cpython libraries one of the most popular and powerful language out there and also allow python code to mix with pharo , see python code as pharo code etc. Both goals have been achieved partly and I hope to bring my project closer to them each year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPGDQc5LUvE I am also interested as secondary goals to 3) bring more visual coding tools to pharo 4) integrate tablets and smartphones (android and ios) with pharo as external controllers and as replacements to both mouse and keyboard.

Hi all,
Just picking up some old threads, so I answer this below.

Hi guys
if Pharo is key for you then you should ask yourself what you did for Pharo recently. Writing code, writing documentation helping closing bug entries, participating to the association, to the consortium...
Pharo is not happening from spontaneous generation.

Well I recently (previous semester) start to:
1. Learn Pharo. 2. Develop my own app to learn and write about the process [a][b]. I will be payed for this prototype and will be a paying member of the association. 3. Made my local group of Pharo/Smalltalk on Data narratives and visualization for Open/Garage/Citizen Science & Research at our local hackerspace with several (3 or 4) meetings that will continue this year [c]. 4. Read a lot of previous email to be aware the community memory and revive older threads when is possible and trying to be a more proactive/visible member of this community, even in my newbie condition.
So, what I'm planing for this year:
1. To learn/teach more about Pharo specially moldable tools, fluid interfaces and good devel practices. 1. To have a good application with some data narratives and visualization build on it. A good download page, documentation and with clean code instead of the rookie one I have now. 2. To create a stronger local community around data visualization/narratives for Open/Garage/Citizen Sciecen & Research powered by Pharo. 3. To write more. 4. Economical contributions to the community through the association. 5. Hopefully make stronger ties to the international community in South America or Europe by participating in some event or scholarship (this will depend on costs).
Thanks for the questions and I will be glad to read other answers/prospective about persons and Pharo,
Cheers,
Offray
