Hi, Richard I think that there is possibility to create a more constructive conversation while promoting Pharo. Ben Coman has give his balanced view pairing constructive criticism with advice, Sven and Andrew have given some post examples, written by them, that help to give better coverage to

Re: [Pharo-users] How to deploy headless app without changes and source files?

I applied the solution of Sven over a minimal image of Pharo and it works! I created a script to disable the calls to sources and changes and then I deleted those. The complete tutorial for use the minimal image is here

[Pharo-users] Deploying using the minimal image of Pharo

Hi, In in the past days, in the context of the Smalltalks 2017 conference, I talked about my attempt to deploy on production using the minimal image of Pharo . My goal was prepare an inmutable or

Re: [Pharo-users] X11 options on Ubuntu VM / Athens renderingproblems

If you stored the settings without full screen mode checked, start up Pharo, then switch in into full screen mode, it should run at full performance if I’m right. I have an intel integrated card + an NVidia, it can work in either mode or in Optimus mode, where it only goes into NVidia if an

Hi Andrew, The GADM Configuration should download and uncompress the CSV database file directly. It is downloaded from the Territorial GitHub repository (https://github.com/hernanmd/Territorial/raw/master/res) and can be installed with the following script: Metacello new smalltalkhubUser:

Yes, I've even cited your excellent "Elegant Pharo Code" article on several occasions. Okay, perhaps I'm wrong about the number of pageviews. Nevertheless, prior to my campaign, hardly anyone talked about Smalltalk. That was my essential point. By the way, I am gratified that at Medium, I have

Looks like we may have a taker! You're my Doctor Who regeneration. :-) I'm in earnest. If someone can take over the marketing duties, I'll be glad to step down. I just don't want to see Smalltalk slip back into obscurity. Remember what marketing is all about:attracting eyeballs; raising

Re: [Pharo-users] New Pharo article at The Cohort

I’m starting to get really annoyed with all the naysayers within our own community that seem to pick apart every dot and tittle of any article this man produces. It seems as though people don’t really care whether the Smalltalk community grows or dies. I view pretty much any news as goods news

I have written a few articles on Medium, largely about the state of the software industry as a whole, the way disruptive software disrupts its own industry. However most of the articles mention Smalltalk and Pharo in particular as having a good blend of being able to build-on what’s been done,

The dropbox URL for the dbf for GADM is no longer there. I can upload the file to my Google drive and share it publicly, but there’s two dbf files, one a single layer and one a 6 layer file. Which does GADM actually use (yes, I’m being lazy). Andrew Glynn

"There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about." Oscar Wilde Smalltalk was on the verge of being forgotten. Now, people talk about it. Some may be turned off, I have no doubt. Some are curious; some are intrigued, enough to actually try Pharo

Yes, people are emotional entities and good marketing should work with that, but it needs to be done carefully. I'll give you three examples: 1) Imagine you are an Apple user who bought a very expensive iPhone X one week ago, you spent next hundreds of dollars on applications you bought over last
