Does anyone remember details of a "pro-Smalltalk" merger circa 2013?
by Richard Sargent Dec. 22, 2015

Dec. 22, 2015

I heard an anecdote of a recent merger between two companies in which one had over 200 people supporting a Java application and the other had ~25 people supporting a Smalltalk application. The surprising result was that the Smalltalk application was selected for the merged company rather than the Java one. I would like to know which companies were involved, when this occurred, and what the precise details were. Thank you! -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Does-anyone-remember-details-of-a-pro-Smalltalk-merge… Sent from the ESUG mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[JOB] Pharo Engineer, IoT
by Marcus Denker Dec. 12, 2015

Dec. 12, 2015

Engineer Position 1 year ========================= INRIA RMoD and the Pharo Consortium are looking for a full-time engineer for helping with developing Pharo. The focus of this job is "Pharo on embedded and mobile devices for the internet of things". - Embedded Pharo on ARM The currently available class of ARM devices (BeagleBone, Raspberry PI) are a very interesting platform for Pharo. The engineer should strengthen the existing efforts to get Pharo working on these platforms. - Pharo on Android Improve the support of Android devices. With Pharo6, we will migrate to a complete new design and implementation of UI, Windowing and graphics. The engineer will work on making these features available on Android devices. - Pharo itself The engineer is expected to be actively involved in helping to improve the infrastructure that the Pharo community used (CI server for continues integration, interplay with issue tracking) and to actively help with day-to-day bug fixing. We are looking for a candidate with some prior experience with Pharo - Knowledge in Dynamic Languages - Experience with mobile development is a plus - English Work in a research lab, but no paper writing, no teaching, no administration. In addition: - centrally located (one hour from Paris, 1h20 from London, 35 min from Brussels) - try a lot of good beer (our office is just 10km from the border to Belgium) - Program with Pharo all day! Lille is an active city but not expensive (lot of students...), centrally located with good connections by train to everywhere (including CDG and Brussels airports).

[JOB] Pharo Engineer, Infrastructure
by marcus.denker＠inria.fr Dec. 12, 2015

Dec. 12, 2015

Engineer Position 1 year + 1 year ========================== INRIA RMoD and the Pharo Consortium are looking for a full-time engineer for helping with developing Pharo and the infrastructure around it. The focus of this job is the infrastructure that Pharo provides to external projects as well as the infrastructure we use to develop Pharo itself. - Infrastructure for external projects Pharo is used in many contexts: an ever growing number of frameworks are contributed by the community. Pharo already provides CI infrastructure, but what is missing is the automatic check of collections of frameworks and libraries. We want to provides validated "distributions" focussing on certain tasks, for example Pharo for Web development. - Pharo and Git Pharo has some support for using Git. The goal is to improve the support of git and other versioning systems. - Pharo itself The engineer is expected to be actively involved in helping to improve the infrastructure that the Pharo community uses (CI server for continues integration, interplay with issue tracking) and to actively help with day-to-day bug fixing. We are looking for a candidate with prior experience with Pharo and possibly some background in continuous integration: - Knowledge in Dynamic Languages - Continuous integration and deployment - English Work in a research lab, but no paper writing, no teaching, no administration. In addition: - Centrally located (one hour from Paris, 1h20 from London, 35 min from Brussels) - Try a lot of good beer (our office is just 10km from the border to Belgium) - Program with Pharo all day! Lille is an active city but not expensive (lot of students...), centrally located with good connections by train to everywhere (including CDG and Brussels airports). Duration: 12 + 12 months Starting date: Feb or March 2016 Salary: 2600-3200 euros brut / month, depending on experience Location: Lille (no remote job possible) More about Pharo: http://www.pharo.org INRIA RMOD: http://rmod.lille.inria.fr INRIA Lille: http://www.inria.fr/lille/ INRIA in General: http://www.inria.fr Lille: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lille http://wikitravel.org/en/Lille Do not hesitate to contact us for more information.

PhD Opening in Refactoring
by Goubier Thierry Dec. 3, 2015

Dec. 3, 2015

Hi all, I have an opening on a PhD subject on refactoring for embedded software (start 10/2016), with a 6 month internship before, at CEA List, in collaboration with INRIA RMOD (Stéphane Ducasse has been very nice to agree to be the thesis co-supervisor). The PhD title is : 'Reuse of embedded sofware code artefacts by Refactoring' and concern itself with the evolution of embedded software when targeting new parallel embedded platforms or evaluation platforms, and how this can be expressed and supported by domain-specific Refactorings. It will take in account how software gets rewritten to target high performance embedded platforms, exposing highly advanced architectures (parallel and very high efficiency) and advanced software optimizations, and how this work should be expressed and supported by adequate refactorings. The internship is about starting the PhD with a sample study of the changes undertaken by embedded software code when it is evaluated and re-architectured/optimized in industrial projects undertaken by the laboratory. Both take place at CEA List, LCE lab, in Saclay (SW of Paris), in a laboratory known for its research in simulation of Systems on Chip (SoC), SoC design, compilation for manycores, and neural networks architectures. CEA is a fair employer for internships and PhD students, with a higher than average salary and significant benefits. Interested candidates should contact me or Stéphane Ducasse, Regards, Thierry -- Thierry Goubier CEA List DACLE/LIST/LCE 91191 Gif sur Yvette Cedex France Phone/Fax: +33 (0) 1 69 08 32 92 / 83 95 http://www-list.cea.fr/index.php/en/technological-research/research-program…
