Hi Pharo supporters
First I would like thank you. And I would like to show you that your membership
in the Pharo association is really
helping Pharo. We are creating a precise report but the main message is the
same.
You concretely help Pharo.
First, we would like to really thank you for your support because as you will
see it is important. Your contributions are making an impact.
Until now, the association did not make visible how was spent the money from
your membership. It's time to fix this.
In the first place, the support we got from last year enable the creation of
monthly activities helping with the development of Pharo. The association is
now the support for the following ones:
Sprint organisations: Every month sprints to correct Pharo bugs are organised.
You can join remotely or organise one at your location
TechTalks: Every month a technical talk is been done to give visibility on
Pharo process and Pharo projects and interact with the community to get feedback
Next, your association contributions are securing vital Pharo infrastructures.
It pays:
The domains such as pharo.org.
The hosting files.pharo.org: This year we moved out of Inria infrastructure
because we could not identify the cause of a huge network latency. It got
resolved - it was a fiber which was in bad condition but not cut. This was
fixed at the level of Renater national back-bone layer, but we decided to stay
outside. We plan to migrate to a better service.
The wild apricot software which manages the association. It will enable us to
do more with the association. (40$/month)
