[Ann] PharoThings a live programming IoT platform based on Pharo

Hi.

I am glad to announce the project PharoThings which brings the live programming environment into IoT domain.

It includes:

• development tools to lively program, explore and debug remote boards (based on TelePharo)
• board modeling library which simplifies board configuration
  • Raspberry driven by WiringPi library
  • Arduino driven by Firmata, soon
  • Beaglebone, soon

Follow github page and videos to get a feeling of this project:

– https://youtu.be/ezfjditHjq4

– https://youtu.be/5i0tsgFtlOg

– https://youtu.be/0H9of7PQet0

Now PharoThings is in beta stage together with documentation and videos. I would like any feedback on how to improve them.

If you are going to Esug conference you can see PharoThings in live at awards competition.

Best regards,

Denis

[Ann][Pillar] Travis -> Bintray for PDFs

Hi

with Damien Pollet, we went over all the booklets and some of the Pharo books currently written in Pillar and made sure that each time you commit

– a travis job is run
– latex is produced as well as pdf
– the pdf is stored on bintray
– the release versions are stored on the github repo (I should verify)

So now you can just do a PR and you get a super nice PDF.

Have a look at Glorp or Voyage for example

– https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/Booklet-Glorp
– https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/Booklet-Voyage

You can access the bintray files from the squarebracketassociates lovely binTray account 🙂

https://bintray.com/squarebracketassociates/wip/download_file?file_path=voyage-wip.pdf

I’m writing a doc of the process so that other people can do it for their private projects.

Workflow engine open sourced by netstyle

Hi everyone,

Stef has asked me whether Netstyle would release our workflow engine to the public, so here goes:

Workflow (originally called “Aare”) was conceived as part of an application that Netstyle developed back in the day. We can’t release all of that code but we can release the engine. I’ve published it on Github with an MIT license (loadable via baseline): https://github.com/Netstyle/Workflow.

Please note:

– Workflow used to depend on OmniBase for storing objects (one of the main superclasses inherited from an OmniBase class for that). I’ve removed that dependency.

– As this only includes the engine, there’s no UI and the things shown in the whitepaper (see repository) are technically correct but are missing the appropriate model (the UI was written with Magritte and Morphic).

– The code is from 2005 and we haven’t touched it since then, so there might be a couple of hiccups.

– We can’t provide full support for the code but I’ll be happy to talk to anyone interested in maintaining or improving it.

We at Netstyle hope that Workflow may be useful to some of you.

Cheers,

Max

About Pharo Newsletter

As you for sure know, we have now a good monthly rhythm with the newsletter.

http://us11.campaign-archive1.com/home/?u=6f667565c2569234585a7be77&id=048680a940

And the number of subscribers is growing!

If you have ideas for the next newsletters (August is done and will be posted soon, but we need

content for September and later…)

We need both small and larger items. Example for smaller news:

– announcements of new libraries

– new releasese

– links to videos

– links to blog posts

And larger items. These have not just the title and link, but a short description and if possible a picture.

(If you look at the older newsletters it should be clear what is needed).

Another idea I had: we could even have “complete takeover’ of a newsletter by someone who wants to

edit a newsletter for one specific topic. This can be about one project, or just a “theme”  (e.g.

“cloud deployment with Pharo”)

if you are interested —> send a mail to board@pharo.org
