Patagonia is a conference registration web based system written in Pharo using Seaside, whose main purpose is to fulfill the ESUG conference registration needs. It was developed at 10Pines under the sponsorship of ESUG. It has been develop using some design principles that were “grown” developing other two systems, being Patagonia the latest version of them. These design principle’s objective is the development of “robust” software, that is, software that can easily change in a safe fashion, being at the same time self defensive when used incorrectly and self “teachable” to new programmers of the system.

OOSCM (Object Oriented Software Configuration Management) is a tool we are developing to better support traits that are unique to object oriented development. Current SCM tools (CVS,SVN,GIT,Monticello, etc) are file based solutions, the file is the minimum versionable element, but when developing with objects files are not the elements we manage, we manage and version classes, methods, packages, etc. OOSCM will keep the history of changes of these elements (from basic changes like modifying a method to composite one like renaming a class) providing at the same time means to treat products, baselines, projects, etc. as first class versionable elements with the objective of helping team development in all its steps (programming, integration, etc). The talk provides a description of the tool’s objective, architecture and current development state.
