Hi all,
Thorsten and me think it would be a good idea to meet again and complete the Self to Linux port. Since it is very advantageous to have members of the Self group like David in the vicinity, we would like to organize a meeting in the S.F. bay area.
Thorsten happens to stay from 2/21 to 2/24 in New York and could drop in on S.F. the following weekend. I am going to try to get there at the same time, too.
Our date proposal is the weekend 2/25-2/27 in S.F. How many are out there who would like to join another Self Hack Weekend taking place in S.F.?
My cousins who live in Sebastopol some 60 miles north of S.F. offered to host the venue at the farm of my aunt. Here is a map:

I is a very beautiful place. If it is too remote or too rural, we could also rent a conference room in S.F. So please give me feedback about your opinion of the location.
If you are interested in participating, please e-mail me.
Gordon.
I think this is a wonderful idea!
Here is another event not far away (but three weeks later, unfortunately):
http://wiki.cs.uiuc.edu/CampSmalltalk
And the Squeak people are trying to organize something a little before that also in Santa Barbara.
In a totally unrelated topic, Davide Grandi found David Ungar's PhD thesis called "The Design and Evaluation of a High Performance Smalltalk System" online at:
http://sunsite.berkeley.edu:80/Dienst/UI/2.0/Describe/ncstrl.ucb/CSD-86-287?...
It might be interesting reading for people trying to understand how Self works deep down.

Self 4.1.2 is now available from http://www.sun.com/research/self.
Enjoy!

I have just downloaded it and have a 8 bpp window open on the Sun and a 16 bpp window on my Linux machine sharing the same Kansas space. It's wonderful - thanks!
At first the colors didn't come up right on the 16 bpp mode since it seems there was a problem with the code I had sent. Lucky thing I was able to toy around with code "live" while running a color changer morph and it was easy to see the problem (the code expected 8 bit RGB components while paint object use 10 bits). This is the fix in traits paint:
rgbFor16BitX = ( ((rawRed >> 5) << 11) || ((rawGreen >> 4) << 5) || (rawBlue >> 5) ).

Thanks, Jecel. With your permission, I could post this as a patch on the Web site. Let me know if/how I should this.

This sounds very interesting! It would be much better for Mario & I if we could just have this here. I think we could work in the Labs here. How do you feel about that? (I'm not sure I could get away to Sebastopol, sorry). If you like this idea, let me know and I will see to this end.
