[ANN] I'm in. Vote.

Casey Ransberger-2
I'd like to announce my candidacy for the Squeak Oversight Board.

My goals include optional Git integration for the Squeak system (ala Cuis,) as well as the load-ability of Morphic 3 when it arrives.

Don't underestimate how much work that's liable to be, though, it isn't going to be easy. I'd also very much like to see Monticello actually load-able in Cuis, which either means porting ToolBuilder or doing a whole new UI for it. Or rewriting the whole mess after the fashion of Andreas Raab's treatment of Traits. There are a lot of possibilities about how to do this here, with tangible good effects in every direction.

In a paraphrase of Juan's words: Cuis will always be Squeak, and we remain forever a part of the Squeak community. In case you thought I was leaving!

There are plenty of reasons not to vote for me. Please review them. Start by constraining a Google search on the list archive to my name and just read the posts. You'll see quickly that I'm a bit of a hothead. Not always the first to get along. I try?

That said: this community has my service, if it is needed, and I'd love to do it. I owe all of you that, for what you've given me.

Thank you: all of you.

Thanks Edgar!

-1 accepted and acknowledged.

Hopefully there's some way to turn that frown upside down. I don't plan to lose sleep about it, but hey.

In my drafts I am presently working on an argument about why you should run too. I was actually writing that when I got this from you. I'm fairly irked really so I'm going to trash-icon the eloquent "please run" email and just brusquely say "please run" here instead.

Anyway do what you want man, but given the system we presently have, you've got (one of) my vote(s.)

I suspected a typo, myself :) More likely that a missing "Don't".
