Thanks Doru and Alexandre. Your work has been really empowering to reach this point and we're just at the beginning ;-). I hope to contribute back to the community and we're planning two more intensive workshops at May and June. All of them will use Pharo / GTTools / Grafoscopio.

By the way, to end my report all went fine yesterday. People really liked the environment and we just made the introduction to the language via our version of Pharo Tutorial (ProfStef), which is a grafoscopio document that can be annotated and shared by the students.

Several ideas about where to put the focus next were the most valuable result from this workshop (Versionner easy uploading, better fossil integration, including installation, and diff on STON files, and support for better HTML exportation).

We will continue the Saturday afternoons of May with our relaxed workshops, before the intensive ones and I will keep you posted about this.

Cheers,

Offray

     Hi,

     It was a pretty good event. It went something like this:

     a. We starting by presenting ourselves and our motivations to be in the
     workshop/hackathon. We have people from IT technical support, political
     sciences, sociology, design and myself.

     b. Then we see the short video [1] "How the Internet will (one day)
     transform government" then we follow with a mental map of grafoscopio
     motivations and backgrounds [2] behind grafoscopio.

     c. We made after that some introduction to the Smalltalk syntax and the
     pharo 4 environment using the playground to execute code interactively,
     introducing objects, messages and making some practical examples from just
     unary and binary message in the playground with those message between
     objects, sending some from the playground to the transcript (and trying to
     go beyond the boring "hello world" :-P) and ending with those keyword and
     cascade message which install grafoscopio.

     d. We saw the interactive agile visualization book snipped draft[3] and ran
     it inside grafoscopio.

     The reception was very good. People liked the idea of interactive
     documentation with embedded visualization instead of "making apps" and it
     was a good bridge for persons with different backgrounds. I think it sparks
     their imagination about a lot of possibilities which are closer to them as
     "non-developers" (it happens also to myself).

     Tomorrow we will start a more detailed browsing of Agile Visualization and
     our Prof Stef partial tutorial as an interactive document[4] and will end
     with the combination the twitter scrapper (not made on Pharo) with data
     visualization on Roassal and making some changes on the visualization of
     this info.

     The only annoying thing was that cut/paste was not working uniformly on all
     Linux machines. On some they worked with Ctrl c / Ctrl c on some others it
     didn't work with Ctrl or Alt keys and we didn't know why.

     I will keep you posted, but was a really good experience.

     Cheers,

     Offray

             Hi all,

             Today and tomorrow, a small group of persons will be doing a
             workshop/hackathon about Pharo and Agile Visualization at our local
             hackerspace. Details on the event are on:

             http://hackbo.co/hackboweb/eventos/evento/375

             I will be sharing teaching materials, first impressions and
             questions with you about the experience, while is happening and
             after that.

             Thanks,
