September 2018 - Esug-list

Re: [Esug-list] [Pharo-users] Gemstone as a service?
by James Foster Sept. 16, 2018

Sept. 16, 2018

My ESUG presentation (based on recent screencasts at https://www.youtube.com/user/JamesGFoster/videos <https://www.youtube.com/user/JamesGFoster/videos>) culminated with a live hands-on opportunity for people to connect to a cloud-hosted GemStone/S 64 Bit 3.4.2 server. As I expected, the question came up of future prospects for a real GaaS offering. So far I’m not aware of anyone with official plans in this space, but I’m personally interested in exploring the idea. Two questions arise from the point-of-view of any potential provider: (1) what is the demand; and (2) what would it look like from an operational perspective. So, in order to better answer those questions I’d like to get in touch with people who would like to try out a GaaS solution. If I provide a dev/test environment for 45 days, will you will give me feedback? If you are interested, please respond privately with (a) your GemStone/S version (preferably 3.4.2), (b) the size of your repository (preferable less than 32 GB, ideally 8 GB or less), (c) what client IDE you use to interact with GemStone, and (d) a sorted list of preferred/acceptable server locations (from Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, New York, San Francisco, and Toronto).

I would love to be able to just focus on writing code, and leave the system management to others. Gemstone does seem to offer a very complete package. > > Also, does anyone know what's happening with Pharocloud? The site is still running, but it seems to be very quiet. > > Cheers > Andy

GemStone BOF at ESUG on Wednesday afternoon?
by James Foster Sept. 10, 2018

Sept. 10, 2018

I’ve had a few people express interest in having a GemStone BOF this week. We’ve agreed that it would be better after noon on Wednesday since some questions might be addressed in talks before then. I suggest Wednesday at 3:30 pm (or after the last presentation) since there are a few hours before the social. Depending on people’s needs, we can try to avoid the Pharo BOF.
