Call of projects of open-dev lectures

My project may be too advanced for a student but if students are interested in Game Development and Unreal , it can a very fun experience for them.

I am in a process of constructing a Unreal API for Pharo.

What students can learn

1) How to combine Pharo with C++
2) How to use Unreal
3) How to use Pharo's UFFI
4) How to utilize shared memory and sockets
5) How to generate 3D graphics using Blender
6) How to profile Pharo
7) How to use git and github

And a ton more, game development is a massive field

What is required

1) basic knowledge of Pharo
2) basic knowledge of C++

Main website

http://www.kilon-alios.com

Github repos

https://github.com/kilon/Ephestos (umbrella project)

https://github.com/kilon/CPP (tool for using Unreal from Pharo)

Online chat

Slack - Ephestos room , or Discord

Mailing list

Github issues page of Ephestos can be used as forum

Hi,

I think that Grafoscopio could benefit a lot from newbies. I'm still kind of one, so I don't know if I have the expertise to guide them, but I can help as a peer, literally. We can provide an environment where newbies can learn about the integration of exploratory computing, interactive documentation and data activism & visualization, but mainly about how can newbies can be empowered by the Pharo ecosystem and communities to prototype their ideas. As I have said several times, Grafoscopio is my first Smalltalk "app", so is full of rookie code everywhere (and they can learn from it also), but despite of that is a functional artifact and has bootstrapped interesting local dynamics, some international interest, and let me become an active member of this community. If this experience helps in someway to newbies, they're most than welcomed to our community.

- Web page (English): http://mutabit.com/grafoscopio/index.en.html
- Mailing list (Spanish, but we can handle English): https://lists.riseup.net/www/arc/grafoscopio
- Bug Tracker: http://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/grafoscopio/ticket

Let me know, so I can tell the locals we're going to have some guests in our community.

Cheers,

Hi

 

We are organising a lecture where students should

- learn pharo

- learn how to communicate with open source community

- learn how to reverse engineer, fix bugs....

They should work by 3/4.

 

We are looking for projects that would like to accept

- propose some bugs to be fixed

- to communicate with newbies and from time to time

 

I was thinking about

- MDL

- Roassal

- Moose ?

- Pillar ? but nobody beside me and I do not have the time

- DRGeoII

- Telescope

- Artefact

- Scale

- Ecstatic

 

So if you have a project and you want to participate.

We would like to have

- web page?

- mailing-list

- bug trackers/todo?

I updated MDL to be up to date. I just need to add a "CONTRIBUTING.md"
file and it should be good for students.

- WebPage: For now it is https://github.com/DuneSt/MaterialDesignLite

- Mailing list: Pharo-user or Seaside

- Bug Tracker: https://github.com/DuneSt/MaterialDesignLite/issues

I still need to think of some features suitable for L3 students and to
document them. I begun to add an OpenDev label if some students are
interested:
