Thanks a lot for this effort, Offray! Please keep it up.

We starting by presenting ourselves and our motivations to be in the workshop/hackathon. We have people from IT technical support, political sciences, sociology, design and myself. b. Then we see the short video [1] "How the Internet will (one day) transform government" then we follow with a mental map of grafoscopio motivations and backgrounds [2] behind grafoscopio. c. We made after that some introduction to the Smalltalk syntax and the pharo 4 environment using the playground to execute code interactively, introducing objects, messages and making some practical examples from just unary and binary message in the playground with those message between objects, sending some from the playground to the transcript (and trying to go beyond the boring "hello world" :-P) and ending with those keyword and cascade message which install grafoscopio. d. We saw the interactive agile visualization book snipped draft[3] and ran it inside grafoscopio. The reception was very good. People liked the idea of interactive documentation with embedded visualization instead of "making apps" and it was a good bridge for persons with different backgrounds. I think it sparks their imagination about a lot of possibilities which are closer to them as "non-developers" (it happens also to myself). Tomorrow we will start a more detailed browsing of Agile Visualization and our Prof Stef partial tutorial as an interactive document[4] and will end with the combination the twitter scrapper (not made on Pharo) with data visualization on Roassal and making some changes on the visualization of this info. The only annoying thing was that cut/paste was not working uniformly on all Linux machines. On some they worked with Ctrl c / Ctrl c on some others it didn't work with Ctrl or Alt keys and we didn't know why. I will keep you posted, but was a really good experience.
