UK Smalltalk User Group Meeting - Wednesday, July 29th
by Giovanni Corriga July 19, 2020

July 19, 2020

The next meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group will be on Wednesday, July 29th. Peter Svensson will present his work on Cloudsdk-st. Cloudsdk-st (https://github.com/psvensson/cloudsdk-st) is an experiment in ways to work with cloud deployment from a Smalltalk image. Traditionally cloud deployments run 'out of band' in separate build scripts or build/CI/CD systems. This project lets you define Docker images (using Dockerfiles) for Smalltalk, send them to the build system of a cloud provider directly and then choose what kind of service you want your image to be (cloud function or long-running VM). Currently it only supports Google Cloud and has a very rough UI. Future plans include support for AWS and Azure as well as better feedback and a Spec2 UI. Given the current COVID-19 restrictions, this will be an online meeting from home. If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup page https://www.meetup.com/UKSTUG/events/cbklbrybckbdc/ to receive the meeting details. See you there!

Re: [Esug-list] Gestures
by Georg Heeg July 13, 2020

July 13, 2020

Dear ESUG community, The availability of gestures in Smalltalk reminded us of a presentation at ESUG many years ago. Back in 2013, gesture control in VisualWorks has not been created and it is supported. Gesture control is used commercially by our customers successfully. The "gesture control" was developed in connection with our product "GH Presentation<https://www.heeg.de/HeegDe/en/ArticlePage?arg1=GH%20Pr%C3%A4sentation>", for the presentation of videos, electronic book pages and other things needed in exhibitions. The integrated gesture support component is based on Windows api. For those who are interested a few links to more information: https://www.heeg.de/Seiten/produkte-WindowsGestureSupport.htm https://www.heeg.de/files/SBCMSFileLibrary/HeegDe/Resource%2520Library/Syst… (English) https://www.heeg.de/HeegDe/de/ArticlePage?arg1=GH%20Präsentation (German) Georg Heeg Georg Heeg eK, Dortmund und Köthen, HR Dortmund A 12812 Wallstraße 22, 06366 Köthen Tel. +49-3496-214328, Fax +49-3496-214712 Von: Esug-list <esug-list-bounces(a)lists.esug.org> Im Auftrag von Stéphane Ducasse Gesendet: Montag, 6. Juli 2020 16:59 An: Hennie Kok <hgmkok1993(a)kpnmail.nl> Cc: Members ESUG <esug-list(a)lists.esug.org>; Any question about pharo is welcome <pharo-users(a)lists.pharo.org> Betreff: Re: [Esug-list] new Pharo success story :) Hello hennie I do not know but what they are doing is really advanced and most of their work is private for the french gov. And advanced gestures and tactil screens were not available back in 89 :) What would be sad is that it would NOT be done in Pharo but in JS like or Java FX. Don’t you think? Of course it can be sad to see things that have been already done, redone. You see Pharo is not a proprietary system so sometimes we are forced to reinvent the wheel but this is an open-source wheel. :) So we get sometimes feedback like it is already available in X or Z, but proprietary code is not available It does not exist except for paying clients. For us we even consider GNU licensed code as forbidden to stay clean. Pharo is following a pure and cristal clear MIT license, it means that people can take the code and do whatever they want, even contribute back or not. Do not hesitate to have fun with us because with Pharo we are really trying to push forward and let people invent what they want and change the world. You can discuss with us on https://discord.gg/QewZMZa S.

Webminar about VA Smalltalk new OS Process Framework
by Mariano Martinez Peck July 10, 2020

July 10, 2020

Greetings all, Some time ago, I had the pleasure and privilege of being sponsored by the Pharo Consortium to implement OSSubprocess. Because of that work, I quickly realized that a new OS process framework created by Instantiations was quite advanced and unlike anything I had seen before. If you are able, I would highly recommend that you attend the technology preview of this framework coming to VAST 2021: Seth Berman will be presenting, registration here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/7491754880594201356 We hope the community can attend and we look forward to your feedback and questions during the event's Q&A session.
