[scona] Camp Smalltalk PDX - ideas of things to work on/do

Fri Jul 24 06:55:35 PDT 2015

Paul,

As presented last week at ESUG, there is also VisualWorks on Raspberry Pi 2, see also http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/main/2015/07/cincom-smalltalk-enables-adventure-world-german-language-expansion/

Question: are the 3d printers controlled by Smalltalk or are they accessible from Raspberry?

We could put them to use making Raspberry Pi cases (e.g. from thingiverse.com [1]) with a balloon or Squeak mouse logo or some such.  It looks like Squeak 5.0 runs on the Pi with few/no problems. Presumably Pharo & Cuis aren't that far off if at all.

The goal is to go from committing a Smalltalk code change and have a dozen or so Azure and AWS servers run in-browser Selenium tests.  I'm using Ansible [2] & Jenkins [3] for that to script everything together.  I'm hopeful to have it "done" before then but we'll see.

Anyone wanting to go for a scenic drive could go and we can stop by Multnomah Falls [5] to do a short hike & take in the view.
