This is the first release with support for Eliot's BlockClosures in recent VMs. This was not easy to do! The approach I took was to rename the old compiler while loading the new one. This allowed the system to keep running while doing this. The change sets I built might be of use to people trying to get closures to other Squeak images. > > Comments are welcome. > > Cheers, > Juan Vuletich That's something we need to do for Etoys, too. - Bert -

Hi folks, We'll be meeting in IRC on the #etoys channel today and every Monday at 3pm ET (20:00 GMT). With an IRC client, use the freenode network and join #etoys. With a web browser, visit http://chat.squeakland.org. Waverly is acting up again. I hope to have him working soon. Till then we'll manually post the log (This is a freenode thing, btw).

2010 squeakland schedule
by Timothy Falconer 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Hi everyone, Happy New Decade! My Squeakland schedule will be rather specific for a while, given that I need to make more room in my week for billable work. (Viewpoints funding has ended.) I'm blocking out Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 1pm ET and 4pm ET (18:00 GMT to 21:00pm GMT), for nine hours a week. All of my Squeakland work needs to be done during these hours until we get some funds in to cover more of my time. Let's keep the software team meeting at 3pm (20:00 GMT) on Mondays. I'd like to move the business meeting to another day so we don't have too much talk all at once. Let's start with Wednesday at 3pm ET (20:00 GMT). This also frees up my time before the software meet to actually prepare for it :) As for the education team meeting, I'll be able to attend when it falls within my "office hours", but otherwise not. I will continue with my two units as I am able. Also, I'm actively calling science centers and children's museums for partnering opportunities, so courseware will undoubtedly come from this. My family is relocating to Cambridge, Massachusetts for four months in a few weeks, which should be interesting for Squeakland, given all things Sugar, OLPC, and MIT, etc. Anyway, thanks everyone for your continuing efforts. Let's make 2010 a great year for Etoys! Take care, Tim -- Timothy Falconer Squeakland Foundation http://squeakland.org 610-797-3100 -- "Intelligence is what you use when you don't know what to do." ... piaget

Collaboration for Etoys
by Karl Ramberg 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

Hi, I have been looking at the NetMorph image and its collaboration tool and it does what its does quite well. I have not been able to load the NetMorph package from SqueakMap into the Etoys image, there are some conflicts in translation tools I have not figured out yet... But, before going further with NetMorphs I thought it would be good to have a idea about what we want the collaboration tools to achieve. What should/would the collaboration be like, what kind of environment do we want to provide. I think it would be nice if we could build a BookMorph like/Project/Wiki like environment where we have the full Etoys environment and versioning per page. What are the use cases for collaboration ? - Teacher showing projects to: - one student - group of students - whole class - Teacher monitoring / eavesdropping / helping ? - one student - group of students - whole class -Students showing others stuff - one student - group of students - whole class - Students working on projects together - two students - group of students - whole class Setting up groups and administrate parts of network. Here are links to two collaboration systems: SeeThroughTalk , shared screen development http://swikis.ddo.jp/SeeThroughTalk NetMorphs where you send morphs to each other http://swikis.ddo.jp/NetMorph Karl
