Hi,
the short answer is: not yet.
The back story is: We have been experimenting with GemStone and Tugrik
at work. While Tugrik appears to work very well (even though it is new
and not yet finished), I found the overall architecture
(Tugrik+Mongo+Voyage) a bit complicated. Tugrik is meant to be a
replacement for Voyage-Mongo but actually uses parts of its
implementation and behavior. I understand that it does so to mimic
Voyage-Mongo so that switching from Mongo to GemStone is relatively
painless. That does not fit our use case though - we don't need a
replacement for Mongo since we haven't used it in the first place. We
would also like to have something that we could possibly maintain
ourselves, should the priorities of Esteban or Dale change in a few
years (I don't want this to sound negative, I am sure they would not
drop the support just because they want to, but I understand they are
very busy and for us it is a certain risk we would like to mitigate).
While playing with Tugrik I came up with a few ideas so I started a
clean Pharo image with the following task in mind: find a way of getting
objects from Pharo to GemStone and back, as simply as possible, without
any unnecessary dependencies. In other words, I wanted to see if I could
create a simpler Pharo-to-GemStone persistence solution than the
existing Tugrik+Mongo+Voyage stack. As of now it's still in an early
phase but I already have something that could work. For the meetup in
Zürich I want to have something to show (a small demo), or, if I run
into any conceptual issues, to have a topic for discussion if anyone's
interested.
I won't release it publicly until I am sure it works well. But I can
guarantee you that if anything exciting does emerge, this mailing list
will learn about it. It will definitely not be exclusive for the people
who attend the meetup. I just want to use the opportunity of the meetup
to get early feedback and/or input, maybe it will trigger a discussion
about important issues that I haven't thought about yet. I am not at all
a GemStone expert so the possibility is there.

Hi,
I would love to be in Zurich, but I obviously can't :(
So... is there a way to get some more info about that "Gemstone-based
persistence framework for Pharo"? And who is Michal? Last name?
Thanks,
