Hi all,
May 21st 2011 is Scratch Day worldwide: http://day.scratch.mit.edu/ If you don't know what is scratch, this is very nice very visual language in order to do animation and control also embedded systems. More information here: http://scratch.mit.edu/
Scratch is open-source and written in Squeak Smalltalk. A version of Scratch is available on XO OLPC.
Maybe we could try to organize something in Ha Noi ? Several alternatives are possible for a Scratch Day: - invite educators to discover Scratch - presentation of local scratch projects - informal gathering of Scratchers.
Any Scratchers (or wanabee scratchers) in Ha Noi ? Viet Nam ?
We some friends, we are working on porting Scratch to a more modern version of Squeak, called Pharo (because we don't like green interfaces and we want to open Scratch to code contributions from people who are working on using Scratch with external devices like arduino). We already have some portion of the software working. So i'm willing to do wild Scratch coding sessions :-)
Regards,
Nobody interested to organize a Scratch Day in Vietnam ?

Dear Serge,
Oh, I couldn't believe I have missed your email!!! I support the idea af a Scratch day in Hanoi. This is a good chance for promote Smalltalk Squeak/Pharo. Also, it's a great chance for me to get my hands dirty with Smalltalk again. I haven't used Smalltalk for a while.
What's your proposed activities for a Scratch day in Hanoi? What about PR & Communication? How should we do some promotion on events like Coding Dojo, Hackfest, etc.?
Cheers, Yang

Maybe i send too much emails :-)

I have no clear picture at the moment. Maybe we could do some Scratch demo to attract people (kids, educators, developers, ...) to this platform, but i lacking connections with the education community in Vietnam.
We already start to work on a port of Scratch to Pharo 1.2 with some friends: http://code.google.com/p/scat/ As Scratch Day is the same day of CodingDojo (saturday May 21st), this could be the opportunity to do a super-codingdojo in order to refactor the code with tests with the help of the mikado method: http://mikadomethod.wordpress.com/

No, you've sent many emails but that's not enough ;-)

Beginning with demonstration, then getting deeper and deeper depends on aspect, sounds great to me. I have some connection with the Vietnamese education community. I'll see what I can do after I dig deep into Scratch.

I have taken a look at the book and briefly read the code on Mikado's [1] Github repository but for now I still don't get it. Maybe a presentation about Mikado method on the Coding Dojo session tomorrow would be good, Serge?

If you need a place for fewer than 30 people, the CNF could welcome this activity too.
If you need a place for more than 30 people, we could ask IFI.

Inside the amphitheater we could have more than 30 people. For developers, we will be less than 30 i guess :-)

I've never used Smalltalk but heard a lot of it and would definitely join a smalltalk meeting in hcm city. I guess it's over though :)

There was a Scrath Day in HCMC two years ago, but it was mainly kids and user oriented.

Hi Serge,
it would be great if you could come over to the South for some scratching at one point.
I would like to give you some more ideas: As you see on the mailing list, there are already people interested in HCM. Secondly in Cantho we have space available for training and hacking activities in our company building right in the center and would love to host a Scratch Day. Thirdly, we are already doing trainings about IT and Environmental Education with 45 teachers in Bac Lieu. Many of those teachers are very eager to learn new things. Surely they would like to learn about Scratch and Smalltalk. Getting them to learn about XO activities would also be a good preparation for a potential XO project as well.
What do you think?
Hope to welcome you here in the near future.
All the best,
Mario

Yes i definitively would like to come back to the south :-) But i'm lacking time to do everything. Maybe you have seen, i launch recently a coding-dojo in HN every saturday. Maybe we should try to do the same in HCMC or CT.

Do you have any specific needs ?

Sorry, but i'm located in Ha Noi, but i'd like to come to HCMC to do some Smalltalk :-)
