Election Nomination Period Ending in 4 days

Hi All,

This is a reminder that if you are going announce that you are running for a
position in the SqueakFoundation Board, you should announce your candidacy
now. There are only 4 more days before the nomination period ends on 22nd
of February 2008.

We currently have 5 nominations for 7 seats on the board. They are.

Bert Freudenberg (serving on the board currently)
Yoshiki Ohshima (serving on the board currently)
Craig Latta (serving on the board currently)
Tim Rowledge (serving on the board currently)
Andrew P. Black (serving on the board currently)

Please do what you can to help support the Squeak Foundation. Encourage the
leaders of our community that you know to step up and join the election.

Thank you,
Ron Teitelbaum

I don't know what each person here works on, except for Craig (Spoon) and Bert (XO...?). What projects, interests or groups do each represent?

Do we have a representative from the larger Squeak sub-communities such as Croquet, EToys and Seaside?

I'd also really like to see some of the newer active members raise their hand for a place on the board. I'm going to shy away from it myself because I can't make it to the IRC meetings.

Gulik.

Well, Bert and Yoshiki are currently quite active on the eToys-XO
project, but have generally been quite active in many areas.

Craig is Spoon, yes.

Tim is VM Grand Master and currently (?) active on the Sophie project.

Andrew is one the the "Berne guys", academic base. Recently known for
SqueakByExample.

- Croquet... not really, no. Well, I guess Bert is closest :)

- EToys definitely (Bert and Yoshiki).

- Seaside... not really. Closest? Hmmm, Bert again?

In fact, the board does not currently use IRC (I just talked to Craig
about it, on IRC :)) - they use Skype. And they have been choosing times
where people can participate. And they have been doing it in text (not
voice).

And also - the board will just have to find a way to operate together
when elected - it is as simple as that. :)

Soo... that is not a valid reason to not step up to the plate!!! :)

I also think that a bit of new blood could be needed (With all my respects to the work and persons of the current board).

I recall the past year some candidates that are now not presents? Also I think in several people that has done a hard work in different projects but don't know if I can name them here, may be they aren't interested.

Just my opinion.

Cheers.

Hi Michael--

> (Spoon)...

For what it's worth, most of my work for the Squeak leadership has
been dealing with relicensing, establishing the ability to receive
tax-exempt donations (which depends on relicensing), and other legal issues.

I plan to say more during the campaigning period.

thanks,

(Unless he simply can't set aside time for a regular meeting,
however it's held.)

True. Note my smiley too. :)

Another candidate for the board

In reply to this post by Ron Teitelbaum

Hi All,

Over the years I have seen many very good people disappear from the
community (or maybe just the list?). I would like to see what has caused
losing all these brilliant people, and if there is any way to bring them
back and/or attract more people like them to Squeak.
I also would like to work towards accelerating promotion and acceptance of
Squeak and Squeak related systems such as Croquet in the wider community and
would like to have Squeak's position as a premier development tool for all
kinds of applications (especially commercial ones) to go way up.

So here I am as a candidate.

Tansel
