Webteam Report
by Jason Rogers 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

The web team has been really active this last month, mostly behind the scenes. We have set up a staging area at wwwtest.squeak.org for testing out new ideas. New content, new style sheets, etc. Currently the big thrust is the main page. We hope to have a new version of that out really soon. Brad Fuller and Damien Cassou (I hope I am not forgetting anyone) have joined our team since last month's report. The FileAreaTeam is shortly to be merged into the Webteam so that management of the FTP site will belong with the WebTeam, although Marcus and Bruce will continue to help as they have until now. Hopefully this will allow for the website to stay current with the various releases of Squeak. It will also allow for the burden of updating the files area to be spread between more folks. Due to some heavy spam activity, we have set up a new mailing list for the web team. The new list will be reflected in the Site Feedback page of the website. Pavel Krivanek was kind enough to help us spice up the style sheets some more. His new efforts are apparent on the test site, but there is a little more work to be done before we can push those changes to the main site. Hopefully that will be done soon. Thanks again to all the members of the team for their efforts in creating and maintaining such an important web presence! -- Jason Rogers "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."

Fwd: Know anyone that can provide a good home for a NetWinder?
by tim Rowledge 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

I have an old, not used but still functional NetWinder NW646DM1.1 - I'd hate to just throw it away so I'm seeking a good owner to adopt it. If you can point me to anyone that would like it I'd be very happy. As long as the postage is covered I'm not asking any money for it. See www.netwinder.org for info about it. tim -- tim Rowledge; tim(a)rowledge.org; http://www.rowledge.org/tim

PortAudio Port Help Request
by Brad Fuller 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Anyone interested in working with me on porting PortAudio (http://portaudio.com/) to Squeak? I've never built a primitive before although I've gotten the Linux 3.8 VM to build using VMMaker (whew.) So, if you have experience in this area, that would be an added bonus! I want to start on Linux first using v19 preferably with the JACK (http://jackit.sourceforge.net/) interface,. But ALSA (http://alsa-project.org/) would be fine for now. Linux primarily because of the free C tools - I have no C tools for Windows or Mac. But, if someone would like to help and start with Windows, I could get tools. (I don't have a MAC at my disposal right now. But, if you'd like to start on MAC, I could potentially get one.) Please let me know online or off if you're interested. I think it would make a great addition to the usefulness of Squeak for audio and video. thanks, brad -- Brad Fuller (408) 799-6124 ** Sonaural Audio Studios ** (408) 799-6123 West San Jose (408) 799-6124 Cambrian ________________________________ Hear us online: www.Sonaural.com See me on O'Reilly: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/2184

Squeak linked from FSF, ehrm...
by goran＠krampe.se 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hi all! Noticed that Squeak is mentioned on this page, with a link that doesn't work anymore: http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/index_html The Webteam will of course fix that, perhaps we could drop in a redirect or whatever to the current license URL? regards, Göran

OmniBase: maximum number of clients reached
by Brian Murphy-Dye 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

I'm getting an 'ODBError: Maximum number of clients reached'. There aren't any instances of ODBTransaction, but there are 160 open instances of OmniBase. I don't seem to have anything holding onto these, but 'Smalltalk garbageCollect' doesn't get rid of them, and '(OmniBase allInstances select: [:ea | ea isOpened]) first close' crashes Squeak immediately :( Any help would be greatly appreciated :o) Brian.

About package responsible
by stéphane ducasse 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hi I was going over mantis to see what were the bugs and next actions I should integrate. So now I imagine that I should let the team/team leader work and they will produce new version of packages. Is it right? Here is the list I collected Andreas: Compression, FFI, Graphics, Balloon Goran: Network Juan: Morphic Cees: Files Stef

Team Report: Morphic
by Juan Vuletich 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hi All, The Morphic Team are the same people that were in the MorphicSplitters group. This is Cees De Groot, Edgar De Cleene and me. The news is that I am now the team leader. The Morphic Team stewards the following packages: Morphic MorphicExtras Etoys FlexibleVocabularies Nebraska StarSqueak Our mailing list is accesible at http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/morphic Our objectives are: - Split Morphic into several packages. Morphic, MorphicExtras, Etoys and some others. - Maintenance, bug fixing, reviewing other collaborations, etc. - Help with Morphic support for ToolBuilder. - Clean Morphic. Remove stuff from basic classes (especially Morph). - Make packages unloadables without breaking the image. - Handle Etoys and other packages to people with specific interest in them. What we have achieved so far is to break the old big Morphic package into the packages listed before, and BalloonMMFlash, Movies and Speech. This was done by the MorphicSplitters group before the Teams model. Our plans for the short term (i.e. this month) are: - bugFixing - Integrate the PluggableListMorph refactoring by Masashi Umezawa - Look at several recent suggestions and code contributions regarding Morphic - Enhance support for ToolBuilder Many of these were suggested by Stef. Thanks! We are open to suggestions and code colaborations. We are specially interested in code that: - fixes bugs - simplifies the framework - adds new, needed functionality, without adding too much complexity Cheers, Juan Vuletich
