Hello everyone, I am a final year undergraduate student of Information Technologies in Novi Sad, Serbia. I first heard about Pharo about a year ago when professor Stephane Ducasse gave a guest lecture at our Faculty. I thought I was familiar with Object Oriented Programming, having been learning Java, but it was the first time I heard branching in OO is a sign of bad design. I was drawn to Pharo because of it's simplicity and elegance. This Tuesday I found out I was accepted for GSoC program for New Collections for Pharo project and I'm pretty excited about it. You can read about proposal here: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#4973054243897344 It will focus on documenting, refactoring and testing existing collections and migrating them to Containers library. Also some new collections like: SimpleTrees, B-Trees, AVL Trees, QuadTrees, OcTrees, ... will be developed Final part would be about research and development specialized/advanced data structures like: Immutable Queues, Immutable Lists, Immutable bidirectional maps,Threaded binary trees ... I would appreciate your feedback about the proposal. Should I change something? Maybe add or focus on some additional data structures? Other candidate from Serbia, Nina Medic and I discussed about writing a blog together for our weekly posts. It can be found here: https://smiljanaknezev.github.io/blog/?fbclid=IwAR2vC-N38wlPGY42ijokv67Anqd3... It will be further customized and ready until Sunday. Also I have setup a twitter account to promote our blog posts and keep in touch with community. You can find me with @KnezevSmiljana . If you have any additional tips/tricks about making this GSoC project successful, I would like to hear about them. Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Smiljana
