Patent, this will probably interest SMEs in Europe.

Xtreams (and other cross-platform projects)
by DeNigris Sean Sept. 1, 2012

Sept. 1, 2012

I'm posting this to squeak-dev, pharo dev, and esug, but it'd be great to keep discussion in one place, like the esug list, or even better, the issue link below if appropriate... At ESUG, Martin Kobetic, Dale Henrich, and I worked on some key pieces to port and maintain cross-platform projects via github. By adapting Filetree to convert between VW namespaces and class name prefixes, we: 1. loaded Xtreams from squeaksource 2. via a Filetree repo, pushed it to github in a directory structure identical to that of the VW branch 3. again via Filetree, loaded the pushed version into another Pharo image, where all the tests passed. This is an initial proof-of-concept (some things are hard-coded, conditional halts left as sanity checks, etc.), but it shows that it is possible. Some limitations: * only one level of namespace is supported * source code is not transformed More details can be found at https://github.com/dalehenrich/filetree/issues/59 Cheers, Sean

Chilean Squeaksource Mirror stable again
by Johan Fabry Aug. 28, 2012

Aug. 28, 2012

Hi all, apparently there is still some confusion, so I am sending this mail. The chilean Squeaksource mirror http://dsal.cl/squeaksource is up and running, in a stable fashion. Apparently there were some power cuts this weekend in Santiago, which is why it was down (It's just a small machine and not on an UPS). It's been running since yesterday, and should be up-to date with the commits on squeaksource of this weekend (and yesterday). If you have any questions or comments, do not hesistate to drop me a mail, or grab me at ESUG, I am at the conference until thursday evening. ---> Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org <--- Johan Fabry jfabry(a)dcc.uchile.cl - http://www.dcc.uchile.cl/~jfabry PLEIAD Lab - Computer Science Department (DCC) - University of Chile

IMPORTANT: ESUG social event on wednesday
by Johan Brichau Aug. 28, 2012

Aug. 28, 2012

To all ESUG participants: There is some confusion concerning the social event schedule due to the entire afternoon being marked as 'social event' on the ESUG programme. Here is the one and only truth: - The social event starts at 17h15 at the designated meeting point (see the map on the conference website http://www.esug.org/wiki/pier/Conferences/2012) - The awards prize ceremony will be at the social event dinner In addition: if you have changed your mind w.r.t. attending the social event (i.e. different from what your online registration says): TALK TO ME. There is a limited number op places at the social event _and_ about 30% of all participants have registered in the last 3 weeks, which means I have run out of spare seats. Hope you are enjoying esug! Johan

If anyone coming to the conference has an extra $10 little Macbook-pro-retina-to-every-other-mbp-in-the-world power adapter (a.k.a. a "MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter" [1]), or will be passing an apple store and can pick one up, I would not only reimburse you, but reward you in powerful belgian beer :) I forgot my power cord, and just realized that my laptop is totally incompatible with everyone else's...

Camp Smalltalk
by Johan Brichau Aug. 25, 2012

Aug. 25, 2012

To those coming to Camp Smalltalk this weekend: There is a flea market in the entire neighbourhood. This means there is also a vendor in front of our door, but I have put a sign on the door and the vendor made a passageway. Just ring the bell and I will come down to open the door. But in case you get lost: +32 476 78 64 45 Johan
