You can suspend manually by There should be a way to talk to the Morphic event system, and when there's not been a UI event processed for N minutes, execute your manual suspension line. > - There is no support for the five special keys Zaurus. It should be doable. Doit "Sensor kbdTest" and press each of these buttons, recording the ascii code that the buttons emit. You could then change the values in ParagraphEditor>>#initializeSpecialKeyShortcuts, which are currently tuned for the iPAQ. You can also change what the keys do, no need to stick with the config I have in there now. Eventually, it'll be programmable in a friendly way.

Re: Symbian platform port

There is an 'epoc' port floating around that could perhaps be used as the basis for a Symbian port. I did some quick experimentation and the base Squeak spource code compiles fine under the Symbian SDK. It's just a matter of implementing the various platform defined functions and hopefully getting it to work in less than 3MB. > Would one then be able to craft a VM that didn't use a mouse?

I've got Io [1] working on the phone for example which allows me to code in that language. The next release of Io will include my Symbian support hopefully.

Is Squeak usable on Sharp Zaurus SL-5X00

I see from browsing the list back in August (Aug 7th-10th) that several people were talking about running Squeak on the Linux version of the Zaurus and I found several references here: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/2437 And (looking for an (additional) excuse to pick up a Zaurus this weekend...) I was wondering if anyone had Squeak running better on it than was reported back in August ... and... (besides 'where can I get it from') which is the best technique to have it running - frame buffer or Qtopia (X) and drawbacks of either. Thanks :-). -Andy-

Its goal is promoting object technology within the context of the Smalltalk programming language. To acheive this goal, ESUG undertakes many activities, such as: -organizing conferences and workshops that allow users and vendors and also industry people and academics to meet, -providing free teaching materials and books to students and universities, -supporting local Smalltalk users groups and helping establish new ones, -...

Please send proposals to mailto:esug-info@xxxxxxxx by November 15th, 2002. Each proposal should include three names and email addresses for the local organization contact people, and give information about location, hosting, ... For a sample, please look at http://www.iutc3.unicaen.fr:8000/esug2002/ Some practical information: - At the 2002 edition of the conference at Douai, France, we had around 100 participants. A room with a broadband internet connection and an excellent infrastructure was open 24h/day. - We had a student volunteer program to help the local organizers to take care of the coffee break, material, badges, projectors... - If you want to offer to organize ESUG, you should consider that we would like to also host CampSmalltalk, and to have a two track sessions. For this reason we will need two amphitheaters, and a room with network access. - The ESUG Board takes care of the conference program. - Before chosing your location we will contact you to check certain details about the organization of the social event, and about hosting possibilities. Ideally, we would like to be able to have everybody in a single location. - We will also provide you a list of tips and tricks to organize ESUG, so that you can profit from the experience we have accumulated over the years. We hope to hear about you soon, and hope that you will suggest a great place for the 11th edition of the ESUG conference.
