Squeak Oversight Board Election 2013
by Ron Teitelbaum 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Hi All, Its that time again. First I would like to take a moment to thank Göran for running the elections all these past years. I would also like to thank you for your vote of confidence in letting me step in to run the elections. I hope that I can live up to Göran excellent example. Every year we elect the SOB (Squeak Oversight Board) consisting of seven members from our community. The current board is: http://www.squeak.org/Foundation/Board Everything about the election, including schedule and more, can be tracked here: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6191 *** Now until Monday 28th of January 3PM (20.00 UTC): Nominations of SOB members and campaigning! Candidates should nominate themselves and start their campaign on the squeak-dev mailing list. Or if you nominate someone else, make sure that person really wants to run. :) I will not put anyone on the candidate list until that person makes it known on squeak-dev that he/she does run. During this period, the candidates should ideally present themselves on squeak-dev, unless they have already done so, and the community can ask questions. I encourage you to reach out to potential candidates, people that are active in the community and represent your views, and ask them to run. Some people will not run without encouragement. *** Monday 28th of January 2013 3PM (20.00 UTC): The candidate list is finalized. *** Monday 28th of January 2013 6PM (23.00 UTC): Online election starts The voting period is one week long and ballots are sent out via email. And how do you end up on the voter list? See below. :) IMPORTANT: New voters will NOT be added once the election is started. You MUST try to get on the voter list before the 28th of January 2013 or you will NOT be able to vote. If your Email has changed make sure it is changed on the list of voters before the election starts. *** Monday 4th February 6PM (23.00 UTC): Online election ends Results will be announced immediately when the election ends. -------------------------- If you were invited to vote last year you are already on the voter list, no worries! If you are a new Squeaker and wish to vote do ONE of the following: * Get a "known" Squeaker to vouch for you. If a known Squeaker sends an email to voters (at) squeak.org giving me name and email for you, then I will add you. * Send an email to voters at squeak.org yourself (and CC to squeak-dev if you like) with information/arguments showing me that you are indeed serious about voting and that you are indeed a Squeaker. And no, I don't have any hints on what you should write! :) Unless you totally screw that up, you will probably be added. And no, don't send me a 10 page essay ;) When the voting period starts all voters will receive an email with instructions and a link to the voting website. If there are any further questions, just reply *in this thread* and I will closely track it - or send email to voters (at) squeak.org which points to me. ...so let's get on with it! regards, Ron Teitelbaum

Running Squeak headless
by H. Hirzel 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Hello I have the following batch script called testBatch.bat on Windows7 croquet -headless Squeak4.4-12327.image testBatch.st with a Smalltalk file called testBatch.st which contains FileStream stdout nextPutAll: (3 + 4) printString; flush. I run it from the command line. Instead of printing the result to the console the GUI comes up. What am I missing here? Thank you for the answer in advance. --Hannes

Stackoverflow - for raising mindshare?
by Sebastian Nozzi 06 Jan '13

06 Jan '13

Hello fellow Squeak/Pharo users, at work I find stack-overflow a quite valuable resource whenever I get stuck with something (Java, Ruby, Unix, etc.). What do you think about the idea of using it more, so that: - people starting with Smalltalk can find answers there apart from digging in the mailing-lists - raising the awareness/mind-share about open-source Smalltalk in the "outside world"? I for one will try to double-post my questions both in the corresponding mailing lists and stack-overflow, and whenever I find good information that might be helpful for newcomers, I'll try to post it there also. It might help attracting more people to open-source Smalltalk and gain more acceptance in the industry. Best regards, Sebastian

How do I profile an application in Squeak?
by Clinton Blackmore 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Greetings. I'm trying to make Enchanting <http://enchanting.robotclub.ab.ca/>, my mod of Scratch that allows one to program LEGO Mindstorms NXT robots, work reasonably well on the Raspberry Pi, where it is very slow. How do I profile an application running on squeak (2.8, I'm afraid) so as to see where time is being spent in order to know where to optimise? Thanks, Clinton Blackmore
