CI ftw
by Frank Shearar 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

http://www.squeakci.org/job/SqueakTrunk/19/testReport/? That's a fully up-to-date trunk passing most of its tests. The update-from-4.3 test also passes most of its tests: http://www.squeakci.org/job/UpdateFromLastRelease/3/testReport/ Next is to show well-known packages (and mine, just because I'm in control of them) loading into a tested image and running their suites. frank

Chris has given me a pointer on how to style it - use a Welcome Workspace - but if there are any text-styling experts who can help us out, please do. I can change the font of a piece of text easily enough in a Workspace - right click and "set font" - but I see no way of making text bold and underlined. frank

More packages updated on SqueakMap for Squeak 4.4
by David T. Lewis 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

I have made 4.4 releases for these packages: OSProcess CommandShell TwosComplement SystemTracing TimeZoneDatabase I also updated the VMMaker 'head' release to claim compatability with Squeak 4.4. I do not intend to make a VMMaker release for Squeak 4.4, because I would expect users to either be using the latest versions updated from various repositories, or alternatively to be using some known version of the sources obtained from squeakvm.org. One annoyance encountered in these updates is that SqueakMap releases apparently must be associated with one and only one image version. I think this may be a change from the way SqueakMap used to work. In the case of TwosComplement, I had to publish a complete new release for the identical package version just make it appear 4.4 compatible, and in the case of the various 'head' releases it means associating the bleeding edge version with some specific version of the image, which presumably will become wrong as the head version is advanced. Something tells me I'm misunderstanding how this is supposed to work. Dave

This won't work, because #enableIPv6 (note that it's not #enableIpv6) is a "pragma" preference, so Preferences has no effect on it. The proper way to change its value is to evaluate the following: NetNameResolver enableIPv6: false. Levente P.S.: In 4.5 we should get rid of Preferences altogether (this should have been done in 4.1 or 4.2 IMHO). > - setPreference: #roundedWindowCorners toValue: false. > PluggableButtonMorph roundedButtonCorners: false. > FillInTheBlankMorph roundedDialogCorners: false. > Workspace shouldStyle: false! > > >

ECOOP'13/ECMFA'13/ECSA'13: Call for workshop proposals
by Damien Cassou 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

Call for Workshops ================== In 2013, the European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP), European Conference on Modelling Foundations and Applications (ECMFA) and the European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) will be collocated in Montpellier, France. The 3 conferences will host an exciting array of workshops that address a variety of topics in object-oriented technology, Model-Driven Engineering and software architecture. A workshop is a forum for exchanging ideas and theories that are still in an evolutionary stage. Typically, a workshop will either address a focused topic in depth or explore connections between one of the three conferences' domains and other areas of interest. ECOOP 2013, ECMFA 2013 and ECSA 2013 thus invite proposals for workshops lasting half a day, one day or two days. The workshops will be held Monday and Tuesday 1-2 July 2013. Proposals ========= A workshop proposal must be submitted as one PDF file. It must include the following information, in this order: * Name of the workshop (first page) * Table of contents for the proposal (with page numbers) * Duration of the workshop (half-day, full day, 2 days) * Abstract: 150-200 words describing the workshop, suitable for the conferences Web site * Keywords and addressed domains. * References to previous editions of the workshop (if any), including name of host conference and number of participants to the workshop each year * Summary of the workshop format: e.g., refereed papers, and/or short papers, and/or invited talks, and/or problem solving, and/or brainstorming sessions. How will papers or other submissions be reviewed? * Description of how the workshop papers and results will be published or otherwise disseminated (see the "Dissemination of Workshop Results" section below) * Preliminary Call For Workshop Papers describing the workshop's focus, its main topics and its deadlines * A (draft) list of the workshop PC members * A list of the workshop organizers * For each organizer of the workshop: - name, - affiliation - contact information - a brief biography (up to 200 words), focusing on the organizer's expertise in the field and (if applicable) experience as a workshop organizer * Primary contact: identify one organizer as the primary contact * Any special requirements that the workshop may have Workshop Schedule Constraints ============================= Each workshop will have to pay attention to the following timing constraints : * the program must be made public before the early registration deadline of the conferences; we thus expect you to make it available around mid-may; * the workshop must be able to consider submissions of papers rejected by the conferences, and have these enter its reviewing process; we thus expect you to make your submission deadline around mid-april; * the workshop must send its Call For Papers at least one month before submission deadline; we thus expect you to send your CFP around mid-march; Proposal Submission and Review ============================== Workshop proposals should be submitted by email to the workshop chairs, at ws-chairs-ec-montpellier-2013(a)inria.fr Proposals will be reviewed by the workshop chairs. Proposals will be selected based on their relevance to the conferences aims, beneficiaries, and timely advances in their respective topics. In particular, proposals will be evaluated according to the following criteria: - The potential to advance the state of research and practice - The organizers' commitment to stimulate discussion at the workshop - The organizers’ commitment to arrange for sensible digital and permanent post-meeting proceedings - The organizers' experience and ability to lead a successful workshop - Timeliness and expected interest in the workshop topics - The balance and synergy between the proposed workshops. - The continuity of previous years workshops *Workshop proposal deadline: January 10th* *Workshop proposal notification: January 16th* Workshop proposals may still be submitted after January 10th, till February 15th, and will be evaluated with the same criteria. But in addition these "late" proposals may only be accepted if their themes do not interfere with those of already accepted workshops. We thus strongly advise you to submit your workshop proposal as soon as possible, and *before* January 10th. Dissemination of Workshop Results ================================= A proposal should clearly state how the results of the workshop, that is the papers and other outcomes, will be made available to participants and others, both before and after the workshop event. ACM DL publications are encouraged. Contact ======= For additional information about this Call for Workshops, please contact the workshop chairs at ws-chairs-ec-montpellier-2013(a)inria.fr. An up-to-date version of this call for workshops may be found at: http://info-web.lirmm.fr/ec-montpellier-2013/index.php/satelliteevents?id=1… Workshop Chairs =============== Olivier Zendra, INRIA Nancy - France Reda Bendraou, Université Pierre et Marie Curie - France Damien Cassou, Université Lille 1 - France Stéphane Ducasse, INRIA Lille - France

The Weekly Squeak - some statistics
by Chris Cunnington 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

http://news.squeak.org/ I've been posting The Weekly Squeak for six months. I never looked at the statistics until today. A slow day for The Weekly Squeak is 70 views. The weirdest thing is the number of views of old posts. I guess people reach them by Google? The top ten posts for the last week are: * = posted in the last month Mmm...RaspberryPi * 136 views Help Design The New squeak.org * 42 views Squeak On Android 26 views 64-bit image * 18 views Old Smalltalk Pics From PARC 11 views JSSqueak -Smalltalk interpreter 6 views Tangible User Interface for Squeak 6 views Most of the views come from North America and northern Europe. There are also views from Korea, Thailand, Japan, Australia, Spain, Columbia, and Argentina. Do robots scan blogs? Do they count as visitors? At any rate, more people look at this than I would have suspected. By way of contrast and to address the idea that visitors are just robots, The Squeak Oversight Board blog has an average daily visitor count of eight views. We can conclude two things: Squeakers may be low on the ground but all around the world; and, the Raspberry Pi is the most viewed post for awhile. Everybody likes ?. Chris
