You probably need to look in your trash folder for the email confirmation from your applying to the webteam list. I found my box-admins invitation in the trash. It'll say webteam-request(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org, I believe. These pictures are great. And up to date with the latest Squeak. And they're the right size 570x330. Ken's got Cog working on box4, so this is all coming together. Chris

There's a lot in that email, so I'll start with what I think is the most important thing. Owing to Ken's advice and Janko's quick assistance, the webteam board will reopen tomorrow. Then people can throw what ideas at the wall they want. > In the image carousel we have some images that need updating and checking. As to images for the carousel, they are 570x330 at 72 dpi. Go nuts. Make ones you want and post'em to the webteam list. We should likely limit the number to ten or twelve or something. And, yea, they should likely have links as they pass that go to further content. Trying to load each image with where to go for more information is a bit much. I'm not married to any of them. We can put up whatever people want. 570x330 pixels. The only one I'm sort of invested in is the Raspberry Pi one, because i went through trouble to make it and then realized I hadn't used any of the tools in the NutPi package, which would have made my life easier. But really that's neither here nor there. >Does clicking on the carousel typically provide links to something about the entry? We need content for them. If we can’t come up with interesting content, >why do we think anyone would bother to read the site? >Would a simple static list of the same links off to one side be sensible? Once one knows what is in th>e carousel it is likely quicker to get there via a list rather than wait for it to come around. Links from images in the carousel to content is a good idea. I just haven't added links at this point. The Atlantic also uses a Bootstrap carousel, so there are clearly un-exploited options. http://www.theatlantic.com/ >Under the carousel there is sensible space for three short columns. I think there's a more pressing problem. Where do you announce something? I have a feeling a section between the carousel and the three short columns needs to be added to announce 4.5's release. A sort of "latest announcements" section. > Chris - what format for submissions would make life simplest? The webteam list will be a record for all possible ideas. People can post there and the ideas can be carded into a useful shape. Ken said he could have a birth for the new image a couple of days. Say what you will: Ken and Janko get it done. Chris

Stephan Eggermont kindly made the effort to fix the page order in the paper and sent me the new version on February 13. Only today was I able to check it and replace the above URL with his version (the original, which is 5 times smaller for some reason, has been renamed "mario_rev.pdf"). Thanks, Stephan! -- Jecel

Re: [Box-Admins] Webteam list is open

While I've been availing myself of cheap Chilean chardonnay, Ken has again solved the problem. If people would like now to register for the webteam list, please do. For the past year I've received "bounce" emails which I routed to trash (15K emails listed in each). So, email doesn't stop when you leave GNU Mailman for, oh, a couple of years. The caches are now cleared. All hail, Ken! Chris

OsProcess - UnixProcess Hangs - VPN related
by JohnReed Maffeo 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

I am currently working in an environment where I have to access external resources using VPN. I was working in Squeak (4.4-12327) last night, worked with VPN enabled today, closed it launched Squeak and now when I execute "osp := ExternalUnixOSProcess command: cmdLine" and instpect osp, it is undefined. When I execute "UnixProcess testRunCommand" I get the warning "process accessor module not available" I don't have a complete test case defined of the exact repeatable steps but, I think the issue resolves itself when I reboot. Is there a way for me to get UnixProcess to wake up? I tried to initialize it, but that did not help. tia, johnreed

Webteam list is open
by Chris Cunnington 19 Feb '14

I went into box2 and looked in the copious directories that are Mailman. I looked in the mbox for webteam list with mutt, which was the long way around to seeing my message has appeared in the archive webpage. I'm assuming it went out to members. The admin panel has opened up too. The settings say Frank should have received a new member email. Provided that I don't have to personally vet every potential new member. Hmmm... 32 members. Alphabetical. No Shearar. No, it's by email so his listing would be under F. There is no F. I guess there're hasn't been a need for it so far. I'm not sure where the "pending member" pen or "accept all who want to register" switch is. It flaking again, so I guess that's it for now. Chris
