Couch surfing

by Johan Briglia

Hi all, This year I'll be one of the several student volunteers (to offer my help in the next ESUG) and I actually need a little help for a little something about it. As a student I had to choose the cheapest traveling agenda, so I will arrive one day earlier than expected. It's not a problem but I need to find a place to sleep between Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th. So I'm asking if anyone would be so kind to lend me a couch just for a night? I don't take much space, and I can cook! ;) As a relatively new smalltalker, I think it best to introduce myself: I'm Johan Briglia, PhD student in Psychology at Montpellier (south of France) where I'm working on the emergence of human memory and complex behaviors from neural networks. I'm using smalltalk to emulate dynamical networks in order to test some psychological theories, as a consolidation of AI research. Thank you for your help, and see you soon anyway! Johan

Re: [Esug-list] ESUG'14 early registration deadline is close

by Luc Fabresse

Hi Doru, You should have received an invoice for the accommodation part. I will re-transfer you the email. So, your accommodation is perfectly booked but not paid yet. Now, you should also register on the ESUG registration server as usual if you haven't done it.

Hi, Thanks for the reminder. I wanted to proceed, but I noticed that I did not receive any confirmation related to the request for accommodation. I thought I was supposed to get a way to pay. Should I do anything else about it?

Need a native english speaker with a bit of time to help for ESUG

by Stéphane Ducasse

Hi Smalltalkers We need some help to organize the catering for ESUG 2014: basically lunches. We need someone to help us helping david and us dealing with meals. We could do it but we are not native speakers so sometimes we do not understand the implications or vocabularies. We selected a list of companies and we need to get offers and probably some menus. Please contact me directly. Stef and Luc

[ANN] SqueakJS 0.2 released, now runs Etoys

by Bert Freudenberg

Hi all, my SqueakJS VM has reached a major milestone. It is now sufficiently complete to run a full Etoys image (and possibly other non-closure images, too). It has support for most BitBlt modes, WarpBlt, even some Balloon2D rendering (for TTF fonts), a virtual file system, image saving etc. Try it: http://bertfreudenberg.github.io/SqueakJS/etoys/ (Safari and IE are significantly faster than Firefox and Chrome, best is Safari Webkit nightly, works on iPad too, hopefully Android) For more details, see my blogpost: http://croquetweak.blogspot.de/2014/07/squeakjs-runs-etoys-now.html Feedback and contributions welcome :) - Bert -

Hi everyone, in case you need to stay in Cambridge on a night after the conference (22-23 Aug), I have 2 tickets in Trinity Hall's Wichfield site for EUR55 (each).

[ANN] Amber 0.12.6 released!

by Nicolas Petton

Hi! After two months of development we are happy to announce the release of Amber 0.12.6 (skipping 0.12.5 for technical reasons). The team has once again been busy improving Amber to make it rock more than ever! With 260 commits done by 8 contributors, this release brings several important improvements as well as the usual bug fixes. Highlights: - Helios now has a test runner - The `amber-cli` npm package installs the CLI tooling. `amber` is not to be installed globally any more. Instead, install `amber-cli` with `npm install -g amber-cli`. - New `amber-init` command: After installing the cli tooling, `amber init` initializes a new project. - `amber` and `amberc` cli tools can now be found in the `external` directory and in dedicated npm packages. - Amber now parses `$c` character literals. - Bootstrap 3 can be used in Amber projects (no more nameclash with Helios' bootstrap 2 using bootstrap2.3.2 name). - Wider range of jQuery versions allowed. API changes: + String >> + value: + ProtocolAnnouncement >> + package + Behavior >> + isTestClass + Package >> + isTestPackage + amber/{devel,deploy,lang} exports + nil + amber/helpers exports + nil We would like to thank the contributors who made this release possible, and especially Ryan Simmons for his work on the Helios Test Runner. /The Amber crew.
