Smalltallk Superpowers and BOF videos
by Göran Krampe 25 Oct '08

25 Oct '08

Hi folks! Ok, the original movies are available here as torrents: http://goran.krampe.se/oopsla2008 For information on what is on them, see my blog: http://goran.krampe.se/blog ...but ok, here you have a summary: The super*-movies are the movies from the Smalltalk Superpowers workshop. This is about 3 hours total split up in 5 pieces. seaside.avi is the tape from the Seaside BOF. It is mainly a demo of Webvelocity from Cincom (Seaside based) followed by explanations and discussion from Cincom and Gemstone people regarding what they are doing in the Seaside area. dave.avi is the first tape from the Squeak BOF. It's Dave Ungar presenting work on a Squeak VM adapted to run on the Tile64 64-core processor from tilera.com. It is VERY interesting. :) I didn't catch all, had to switch tapes - but most of it I think. jecel.avi is the second tape from the Squeak BOF. Jecel talks about CPU history in general and Smalltalk CPU history more specifically. He also presents some of his own work and some about the latest projects. I found it very interesting. My own smaller presentation of Blackfoot was not taped but I will post something about it on my blog soon. :) regards, Göran PS. If you for some reason have issues with the torrents, mail me and I can give you a URL for a direct link. I just don't want to sink my server - but perhaps everyone already knows the direct URLs... :)

Fully Relicensed version of mainstream Squeak
by Yoshiki Ohshima 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Hello, First of all, thank you for all the people who spend great deal of time on fixing our server. I've been watching the IRC log (http://tunes.org/~nef/logs/squeak/) and was admiring the work! As mentioned in the leadership discussion minutes from Craig, the plan now is as follows: - Make Squeak version 4.0. This is based on the 3.11 effort but get rid of or rewrite code that are not relicensed and make a fully relicensed version relatively conservatively. Etoys 4.0 is now fully relicensed, and we can bring the removal and rewrite changesets from that stream. - Craig continue to work on the Spoon based system. It is dubbed Squeak 5.0. (My personal opinion is that because it is fairly different, it could have a different name, but...) BTW, during the Etoys' relicensing effort, I made a little web app that lets you view *all history* from Squeak V1 to the latest version: http://tinlizzie.org:8080/seaside/examples/authorship2 I can make a similar page for 3.10 or such, and also give a tool to check the unlicened code in a particular code base. Ken and Mathew, how does it sound? -- Yoshiki

The IDE implementation in Squeak/BabyIDE
by Trygve Reenskaug 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Exciting news; people are now working with DCI implementations in Ruby, Python, Java, C++, Scala, Groovy , and Qi4J. A new mailing list for implementors has been established: object-composition - at - googlegroups.com I have written a commentary on my Squeak implementation of the DCI part of BabyIDE. http://heim.ifi.uio.no/~trygver/2008/bb1implementation.pdf <http://heim.ifi.uio.no/%7Etrygver/2008/bb1implementation.pdf> The commentary builds on the "Common Sense" report and is written for the systems programmer who is interested in the usually hidden innards of BabyIDE. Enjoy --Trygve -- Trygve Reenskaug mailto: trygver(a)ifi.uio.no Morgedalsvn. 5A http://heim.ifi.uio.no/~trygver N-0378 Oslo Tel: (+47) 22 49 57 27 Norway

I've been needing to use spoon for my research project this summer, and now that the board has (finally) officially decided to base Squeak 4 on spoon, can I expect that there will be a downloadable spoon soon? as in, 2 weeks? -- Matthew Fulmer -- http://mtfulmer.wordpress.com/

by Mariano Martinez Peck 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

People: I am needing a code finder or something like that. I would like to search for a piece of code in the whole image code or only in a particular category. I would also like to search ANYTHING in code. Is there something? where can I get it? For those who know Eclipse IDE what I need is like ctrl + h Many thanks, Mariano
