Camp Smalltalk Portland was held over this last weekend (Aug. 21-23) and was a great success! There were over 20 participants from all over North America and I think it’s safe to say everyone had a good time. Thanks to all the attendees and the organizers.

OOPS track at SAC 2016: Call for Papers
by Nick Papoylias Aug. 14, 2015

Aug. 14, 2015

OOPS 2016 Call for Papers Object-Oriented Programming Languages and Systems http://oops.disi.unige.it/OOPS16 Technical Track at the 31st ACM Symposium on Applied Computing, SAC 2016 http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2016 April 4-8, 2016 Pisa, Italy - Important Dates Submission of regular papers and SRC abstracts September 11, 2015 Notification of regular papers (and posters) and SRC acceptance/rejection November 13, 2015 Camera-ready copies of accepted papers December 11, 2015 Author registration due date December 18, 2015 SAC 2016 April 4 - 8, 2016 - Track Chair Davide Ancona (davide.ancona(a)unige.it) DIBRIS, University of Genova, Italy - SAC 2016 For the past thirty years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world. SAC 2016 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP), and will be hosted by the University of Pisa, and Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna University, Italy. - Call For Student Research Abstracts: Graduate students seeking feedback from the scientific community on their research ideas are invited to submit original abstracts of their research work in areas of experimental computing and application development related to SAC 2016 Tracks. The Student Research Competition (SRC) program is designed to provide graduate students the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with researcher and practitioners in their areas of interest. - OOPS Track Object-oriented programming (OOP) has become the mainstream programming paradigm for developing complex software systems in most application domains. However, existing OO languages and platforms need to evolve to meet the continuous demand for new abstractions, features, and tools able to reduce the time, effort, and cost of creating object-oriented software systems, and improving their performance, quality and usability. To this aim, OOPS is seeking for research advances bringing benefits in all those typical aspects of software development, such as modeling, prototyping, design, implementation, concurrency and distribution, code generation, analysis, verification, testing, evaluation, deployment, maintenance, reuse, and software evolution and adaptation. The specific OO related topics of interest for the OOPS track include, but are not limited to, the following: * Aspects and components * Code generation, and optimization, just-in-time compilation * Context-oriented programming * Databases and persistence * Distribution and concurrency * Dynamic and scripting languages * Evaluation * Feature Oriented Software Development and Programming * Formal verification * Integration with other paradigms * Interoperability, versioning and software evolution and adaptation * Language design and implementation * Modular and generic programming * Reflection, meta-programming * Runtime verification * Secure and dependable software * Static analysis * Testing and debugging * Type systems and type inference * Virtual machines OOPS offers a great opportunity to the OOP community to gain visibility, and to exploit the inter-disciplinary nature of SAC. - Submission Instructions Prospective papers should be submitted to the track in pdf format using the START submission system for regular and SRC papers available through the SAC 2016 home page ( http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2016) Submission of the same paper to multiple tracks is not allowed; all papers should represent original and previously unpublished works that are currently not under review in any conference or journal. Both basic and applied research papers are welcome. The format of the paper must adhere to the sig-alternate style ( http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) Full papers are limited to 6 pages with the option for up to 2 additional pages at extra charge (80 USD per page). Posters are limited to 3 pages with the option for up to 1 additional page at extra charge (80 USD). Papers that fall short the above requirements are subjected to rejection. All papers must be submitted by *September 11, 2015*. For more information please visit the SAC 2016 home page ( http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2016) - Proceedings Accepted papers will be published by ACM in the annual conference proceedings. Accepted posters will be published as extended abstracts in the same proceedings. Please note that full registration is required for papers and posters to be included in the conference proceedings and CD. An author or a proxy attending SAC *must* present the paper. This is a requirement for including the work in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of registered papers, posters, and SRC abstracts will result in excluding them from the ACM/IEEE digital library. Student registration is only intended to encourage student attendance and does not cover inclusion of papers/posters in the conference proceedings. Finally, following the tradition of the past OOPS editions, depending on the quality and the overall number of accepted papers, after the conference authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version for a journal special issue.

Google Code Shutdown
by Sean P. DeNigris Aug. 2, 2015

Aug. 2, 2015

In case anyone hasn't heard, Google Code will shut down entirely on January 25, 2016. I was following these Smalltalk projects there: magritte-metamodel moose-technology seaside marsonpharo nativeboost metacello squeaksource3 phratch The easiest action seems to be to export to GitHub, for which Google Code even provides a button! I just used it for one of my projects and it was pretty painless. - Sean Cross-posted to ESUG, pharo-dev, squeak-dev, seaside-dev, magritte, metacello ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Google-Code-Shutdown-tp4814759.html Sent from the ESUG mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
