This document discusses getting involved with and supporting the Pharo programming language and community. It describes the Pharo Consortium, which provides engineering support in exchange for membership fees. It also describes the Pharo User Association for individual participation. Plans for 2015 include improving 64-bit support, databases, and web frameworks. The document encourages contributions from all community members to help Pharo grow and get better.
PharoDAYS 2015: Consortium Message: Get involved, you can get an impact by Stephane Ducasse
- 1. Consortium Message: Get involved, you can get an impact! S. Ducasse http://www.pharo.org
- 4. Pharo Pure object language Great community of active doers Powerful Elegant and fun to program Living system under your fingers
- 5. VM running on MacOSX, linux, Windows Compiler, Core classes (stream, collections, unicode) IDE (editor, inspector, debugger, code versioning,...) UI frameworks (widgets, theme) FFI Graphics (soon opengl) Hyper fast object serializer Network, HTTP
- 6. Web frameworks: seaside, iliad, Reef XML, HTML scraping, Zinc, Zodiac (HTTPS) Graphics frameworks: Roassal, Mondrian, EyeSee Tool builder: Glamour, MetaTools: Moose Database: DBXTalk, Mongo, Riak, CouchDB Proxy, Logging Units (Aconcagua, Units) Parser: Petit Parser, SmaCC Mathematical ...
- 7. Web frameworks: seaside, iliad, Reef XML, HTML scraping, Zinc, Zodiac (HTTPS) Graphics frameworks: Roassal, Mondrian, EyeSee Tool builder: Glamour, MetaTools: Moose Database: DBXTalk, Mongo, Riak, CouchDB Proxy, Logging Units (Aconcagua, Units) Parser: Petit Parser, SmaCC Mathematical ... AND MUCH MORE
- 8. Our goal...
- 10. We are a cool community

- 14. Let us step back a bit
- 15. ...
- 16. Do we expect him to be alone? Do they win by luck?
- 17. Certainly not! Why would it be any different for Pharo?
- 18. Software development is tedious, full of stupid and boring tasks
- 19. Why do we think that they will be magically be solved?
- 20. May be you will be able to compile your own vms? May be you will be able to get a better widget sets? May be you will be able to get a vector graphic engine? May be you will be able to implement event touch? May be you will get 64 bits support?
- 21. We cannot rely on free time of smart engineers
- 22. We built legal tools (consortium, association) Use them, get involved We set them for you!
- 23. Pharo Consortium @@ Web site @@
- 24. Consortium Members Managed by Inria for now Who: companies, institutions, user groups Privileged access to the core development team Influence priorities of the next development Engineering support time Job posts Training/Conferences special prices
- 25. Fees Gold 4000 4 days of engineering time + multiple job descriptions for job dashboard + diamond sponsor. Silver 2000 two days of engineering time + one job description + diamond sponsor. Bronze 1000 one day of engineering time + diamond sponsor.
- 26. FYI Started discussions with INRIA in 2009 Inria put 4 years of salary (Igor, Esteban) RMoD put money on the table More than 25 companies are interested Join!

- 32. How to sustain Pharo? How to sustain Pharo? How to structure the community? Lot of small companies can get an impact Lot of individuals can get an impact
- 33. Plans for 2015 (i) Esteban is paid by Inria to push the consortium and business Spur 64 bits Databases Easy to use images: web.pharo.org agilevisualiation.pharo.org
- 34. Plans for 2015 (ii) Better FFI We cannot rely on NB alone Plan (synchronised with E. Miranda) use NB syntax provide several back-ends
- 35. Plans for 2015 (iii) Relational Databases
- 36. Plans for 2015 (iv) Relational Databases O. Auverlot started an analysis https:// docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ 1uD6UFmwCJxAkOC9tlvdJsHtt10C0KHJ6Zp8WmfX paR4/edit#gid=0 Olivier Auverlot will help on this task (tx)
