Hi everyone, the ESUG (European Smalltalk User Group) has been selected for the Google Summer of Code 2012 program to fund students. I have submit a proposal for a project called SciSmalltalk. You will found more information about this proposal here: http://gsoc2012.esug.org/projects/sci-smalltalk If you are a student and want to apply for this project, please feel free to contact me ASAP. Regards, ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Janko Mivšek <janko.mivsek(a)eranova.si> Date: 2012/3/28 Subject: [Pharo-project] [GSoC] Call for students To: "Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr" <Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr>, A friendly place where any question about pharo is welcome <pharo-users(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr>, Squeak <squeak-dev(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org> Dear Students, Now it is your turn! You will have to register in our website first [1], put there some information, show interest for the projects and contact the project mentors. After the registration step you will get all the mentors information in order to contact them. By pressing the button on the project, you will show your interest. This is not something formal yet. Of course you can propose your own project too. In this case write a proposal in a format other projects have and send it to admins (see the email on the bottom). Our mentors will vote for the most interesting projects and in the middle of the voting Google will tell us, how many projects will actually be funded. Voting will happen in April, with final results expected at the end of April. At that time you will finally know if you are accepted or not. Of course, there can be many students interested per project. This means that interest for this project is high, but on the other side a chance that you will be chosen is lower. It is up to you to convince a mentor that you are the best! Note also that the Ideas page is deprecated. On ideas page just the project ideas were collected. Now, we are preparing the real projects. So, please from now on always refer to this link for the projects: http://gsoc2012.esug.org/projects So, the initial steps are: 1. Register on our special Smalltalk GSoC website (with your Google account!): http://gsoc2012.esug.org/admin?view=loginGoogle 2. Edit your profile to get some more contact information for mentors to let you know, 3. Fulfill your brief Biography page (see Biography tab on profile), 4. Go to Projects page, choose up to three projects and click there 'I'm interested' button, 5. Contact and discuss with project mentors about your interest. Subscribe also to a special mailing list [2] where we will help you with further steps. Deadline: as soon as possible, because the deadline to register on official GSoC website [3] is 6.April, which is, well, soon! But about that later... Finally, we will really appreciate if you can help us to distribute this call for students. One of our goals is to increase the Smalltalk community. Those who have access to universities can distribute this among the students.

Ha Noi Coding Dojo Session #26
by Serge Stinckwich 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

Dear all, the Ha Noi Coding Dojo Session #26 will be organized next saturday (March 17th) from 2pm to 4pm at CNF, Ha Noi. More information and the location of the Coding Dojo in Ha Noi are always available here: http://hanoicodingdojo.github.com/ # What is a coding Dojo ? CodingDojo session was first invented in Paris in 2004 by the XP(eXtreme Programming) community. The aim of these sessions is to enhance the coding skills of attendees by doing some very small exercices in a funny atmosphere. This is like when you want to practice a sport like Judo, you need to practice some basic exercices with some judo masters before doing serious business like competitions. There is usually two styles of exercices : 1) Kata prepared by someone before the session and executed in front of the public or 2) Randori, a more exploratory form of a Kata where the whole group participates. More information are available here: http://www.codingdojo.org/ Program of the CodingDojo session (we will follow the same format than the CodingDojo from Paris): * 5 min: Do a retrospective of the previous session (what went well,what was interesting, what was frustrating) * 10 min: Decide on a topic for this session * 40 min: code (Kata or Randori) * 5-10 min: Mid-session break to discuss how things are going * 40 min: code (Kata or Randori) The sessions will be completely language agnostic. The programming languages chosen at each session will depend of the attendees. More exotic programming languages like Haskell, Brainfuck, Scala, Lua, ... are welcome. This is not really a big deal if not all the people don't know the programming language of the session, but you may notice that a CodingDojo is not a good place to learn a new language.The goal is to learn how to better program not to do some proselytism (mine language is better than yours). We need people who knows about these languages in order to conduct sessions. What is also particulary important if you want to organize a Kata or Randori, is to know how to write unit tests with these languages. More information about the philosophy behind a CodingDojo are available here: http://www.slideshare.net/ntoll/organise-a-code-dojo and here: http://www.slideshare.net/caikesouza/coding-dojo-2879242 Regards, -- Serge Stinckwich UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC), Hanoi, Vietnam Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://doesnotunderstand.org/
