[GSoC] Call for students
by Janko Mivšek April 11, 2013

April 11, 2013

Dear Students, Now it is your turn! You will have to register in our website first [1], put there some information, show interest for the projects and contact the project mentors. After the registration step you will get all the mentors information in order to contact them. By pressing the button on the project, you will show your interest. This is not something formal yet. Of course you can propose your own project too. In this case write a proposal in a format other projects have and send it to admins (see the email on the bottom). Our mentors will vote for the most interesting projects and in the middle of the voting Google will tell us, how many projects will actually be funded. Voting will happen in May, with final results expected at the end of May. At that time you will finally know if you are accepted or not. Of course, there can be many students interested per project. This means that interest for this project is high, but on the other side a chance that you will be chosen is lower. It is up to you to convince a mentor that you are the best! Note also that the Ideas page is deprecated. On ideas page just the project ideas were collected. Now, we are preparing the real projects. So, please from now on always refer to this link for the projects: http://gsoc2013.esug.org/projects So, your initial steps are: 1. Register on our special Smalltalk GSoC website (with your Google account!): http://gsoc2013.esug.org/admin?view=loginGoogle 2. Edit your profile to get some more contact information for mentors to let you know, 3. Fulfill your brief Biography page (see Biography tab on profile), 4. Go to Projects page, choose up to three projects and click there 'I'm interested' button, 5. Contact and discuss with project mentors about your interest. Subscribe also to a special mailing list [2] where we will help you with further steps. Deadline: as soon as possible, because the deadline to register on official GSoC website [3] is 3.May, which is, well, soon! But about that later... Finally, we will really appreciate if you can help us to distribute this call for students. One of our goals is to increase the Smalltalk community. Those who have access to universities can distribute this among the students. Distribute also our poster [4] in many languages, English one attached. [1] http://gsoc2013.esug.org [2] Students mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/smalltalk-gsoc-students [3] Official GSoC website http://www.google-melange.com [4] Poster in PDF and image format, in many languages http://gsoc2013.esug.org/poster Good luck!

Modern and Future Smalltalk
by Dennis Schetinin April 1, 2013

April 1, 2013

Hello, I'm preparing a report for a small local conference on the "Internet Technologies". I would like to present some current Smalltalk trends in this area. First of all, I'm thinking of Pharo efforts in conjunction web frameworks like Seaside, AIDA/Web, Illiad. Certainly I'll talk about Amber and hopefully there'll be a special report on it. I'll mention GemStone. What else should I talk about? -- Best regards, Dennis Schetinin

Hello Dennis, In terms of current Smalltalk trends related to Internet Technologies, may I suggest our on-going work on "service streaming environments" as exposed here (cf. page 359): http://www.aal-europe.eu/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Proceedings_AAL_Forum_2… It's Smalltalk implementation has been subject to a publication entitled "Web Pontoon: a method for reflective web applications" and available at: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1942791&dl=ACM&coll=DL A related piece of work, which focuses on a framework for dynamic service orchestration in cyber-physical systems, may be found here: http://osl.cs.uiuc.edu/publications/conf/birthday/MechitovA12.html Which builds upon Smalltalk-mediated joint research as for example reported in: http://osl.cs.uiuc.edu/publications/aitami07.html http://osl.cs.uiuc.edu/publications/ios07.html More on this work may be found at: http://adaptiveobjectmodel.com/writings/ http://www.rezarazavi.com/about/cv/publications/ Best regards, Reza Razavi http://www.linkedin.com/in/razavi > On April 1, 2013 at 5:43 AM Dennis Schetinin <chaetal(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > I'm preparing a report for a small local conference on the "Internet > Technologies".
