Well, now we are two of us. In general the Smalltalk tradition of
fighting against incidental complexity and the needs of broader
communities of being empowered by code+data will bring more people
interested that is already active on those concerns.

As a former regular user of IPython Notebook (before it morphed to
Jupyter), my issues go beyond installation and are more related with
moldability and the possibility to adapt the tool taking into account
its users and contexts, hopefully by such users in such context. In the
end, each Jupyter notebooks provides a RELP "linear metaphor" for
documents and in that case you have two options, which I don't think are
the best for exploratory computing, start to split your document into
several notebooks (losing panoramic view) or ending with long scrolls,
losing detail[1][2]. The best, for such exploratory documents, would be
to combine the outliner metaphor of Leo/OrgMode with the interactivity
of IPython[3], but in that endeavor you end fighting with a lot of
incidental complexity that Pharo doesn't have[4], because of the way
liveness, simplicity and adaptability are embedded into the tool and
culture. In that way,

You need to update the Dataviz package (Grafoscopio docking bar has an
option for it)  before running the code in the Data Selfies notebook.
One of the things we do regularly in the workshops is to extend the
functionality of Grafoscopio/Dataviz packages. That should be stated
more clearly in the documentation. I will put that there.

Offray,

Now that I have loaded/updated the system, I am going through the steps.

You write "To run the code nodes, click on the green "Play" symbol triangle
at the left of each node."
There is no such triangle. I guess you mean the green triangle at the top
right of the note.
Right?

We got that error when we try to open a notebook without updating
previously Grafoscopio. Please use the update menus in the Grafoscopio
docking bar for th Grafoscopio and Dataviz packages. That should solve
the issue.

I would really have a better way of installing Grafoscopio. If you have
any suggestions on the Gopher, Metacello, installing front, or even
better, if you need any permissions on the source code repository [1],
just let me know.

As I am busy in that space with Hadoop / TensorFlow / ..., yes there is a
tendency to have kind of "high priests of data" showing up.
This is isolating the common folk instead of empowering them. I am fighting
that tendency in the projects because the technology can be approachable.

I am very interested in Grafoscopio to work out proof of concepts in Pharo,
so that I can have a nice narrative structure.
Coupled with gtExample and specific inspector presentations, this is a
terrific thing.

My current project involved a Glorp component and I'd like to showcase
transactions within a Grafoscopio notebook.

I'll tell you how it goes :-)

Fossil is indeed a great vehicle for code and assets. Fossil and SQLite,
great stuff.

Hi Phil,

Seems that some dependency related with GT-Examples and LibGit changed
recently. On Mac/Linux installation was well until last week.

I have had problems with LibGit in the past (which BTW, makes any
install process really unpleasant), but I don't know if they're related
with your issue. At that time the solution was to disable LibGit
"developer profile" integration (which asked for a LibGit setup). Maybe
you can try installing it before installing Grafoscopio, by following
the instructions at [1], or if that doesn't work, maybe the folks at GT
can help us with that.

Let me know how it goes.

I think that pocket infrastructures are a powerful concept for inclusion
and participation, specially in the times of fancy exclusionary "Big
Data" and "Artificial Intelligence" buzzwords and discourses that don't
take into account who becomes data of who, who will have the access,
storage and processing capability in those forecast futures. In contrast
Pocket Infrastructures are inclusive by default, being self-contained,
simple and working well in on/off line contexts.

Pharo, in the live coding environment front and Fossil, in the DVCS
front, work pretty well for that working definition of Pocket
Infrastructures.  Is impressive that just under 50 Mb anyone can have a
Jupyter+GitHub alike environment for data storytelling, visualization
and reproducible research that just run in their pockets and low end
machines (and of course, big server and anything in between). We tried
before with IPython notebook and other more complex stuff and we were
dealing with external complexities instead of going right into story
telling + coding + data viz. Of course, Jupyter and GitHub are a lot
more popular that Grafoscopio + Fossil, but they're also traveling the
most traverse path, while I think that a lot of valuable innovation
comes, by definition, from the margins and that can give Pharo ecosystem
an advantage point over other more popular approaches, as practice have
demonstrated time and again.

No. I'm kind of bad at chat real-time messaging communication (It

found myself being more focused while muting the real-time communication

Thanks for such kind words. I not only wouldn't be able to do it without
the community support, but particularly without the interest that people
like you, Phil, show on these themes and approaches. So is really worthy
to be in a community where different people can share interests, care
about each other and start small by just helping each other with
proofreading, encouraging words, scholarships, coffee and beers, and
even some times, code reviews and software improvements. Thanks a lot
for (m)any of those.

Yes Ben. I will. Now I released just a short draft used to kickstart the
workshop[1] (as I told the participants there), but I will be improving
it the upcoming week and I will let you know when is ready for review.

Thanks for your continuous proof-reading support with all my writings
(as a non-native speaker still struggling with English, that's pretty
valuable) and for your general work supporting this community.

Cheers,

Offray

Hi Sean,

This was a crazy week! Lot of stuff happening, but the important was
getting the people network stronger by meeting again, talking, drinking,
dancing, besides all talks, workshops and meetups in a context like
re:publica[1] and the GIG[2]. So, as I told to the list, I was unable to
answer fast or even visit Discord to ask anything.

[1] http://re-publica.com/
[2] https://www.globalinnovationgathering.org/

But yes, we have some video recordings at the re:publica site,
(unfortunately not the workshops) and we share some pictures in Twitter
[3] and I have made some draft documentation that was complementary
[4][5] to the workshop, but will be improve the upcoming week (like the
software).

Thanks folks for all your support words and offerings.

I am now still installing myself in Berlin, but as soon as I can, I will
answer in a more detailed fashion.

Cheers,

Offray

The "on how to use the Grafoscopio *pocket infrastructure* for data
activism and digital citizenship " soundbite just blew my mind.

"Pocket Infrastructure" hits the nail on the head for sure.
I positively love that angle.
Compared to python, node, etc, there is much less fuss to get started and
it allows to focus on the data narrative right away.

I regularly make folders in my Dropbox where I throw a pharo vm and a pharo
image I work on, saved using https://github.com/Pharophile/HOImageSaver so
that I can always go back in time easily (saved me more than once!). This
very handy for working on machine A, and resuming work on machine B, or C
etc.
And is indeed "Pocket Infrastructure".

What you achieve with Pharo makes me proud of supporting Pharo.
Kudos Offray, we need more people like you in the world.

Wow! That's great. Any way we can follow along? e.g. live streaming, later
recording

Fire away. I'm sure we'll support you any way we can. Give us a heads up
about the time window so we can try to be available…
