Hi all,
All this week we have been doing a workshop on data visualization using
Pharo and Roassal on Grafoscopio. It started on last Monday and will end
on next Saturday. Details are on [1][2]. The experience so far has been
really gratifying and enjoyable. Newbies (with no background on
programming and/or Smalltalk) liked the language, the Roassal
capabilities and galleries and the inclusion of GT-Tools help a lot with
code learning and exploration. I was planing to announce this before the
event, but I had a really busy week and even I planned to aski for help
with bugs or other questions, but so far we had only minor glitches.

So, thank all the community once more for your awesome work. Now that
Alexandre and others talk about "the blues" because of absences on
GitHub or SO, it important to talk about this small, significant and
even life changing experience that happens on next door, thanks to what
you have make possible. Let's not forget that.
Cheers,
Offray
Ps: I will follow this thread with some questions that rose on the
workshop. I was thinking on asking the participants to share their
questions on SO, so may be is time to do it... We will see tomorrow.
