FW: Squeak Elections Nominations are needed before Monday 28th of January 3PM (20.00 UTC)

Ron Teitelbaum
Hi All,

We have 9 candidates for 7 positions on the Squeak Oversight Board.  

The candidates are (in order of announcement)

Chris Cunnington
Tim Rowledge
Casey Ransberger
Craig Latta
Chris Muller
Frank Shearar
Colin Putney
Bert Freudenberg
Darius Clarke

Thank you everyone that is running for the board.  If you announced your
candidacy but do not see your name on the list please contact me or resend
your announcement to Squeak-Dev.  Also please consider running for the
board.  We could still use more candidates.  I also noticed that the
candidate list is very XY, so I reached out to some XX members to ask them
to run.  If you know some female Squeakers maybe you could give them a shove
and get them to run.

If you are long time member please consider running or please reach out to
people and encourage them to run for the board.  Now is the time.  Monday
the 28th will be here quickly.  

So far for 2013 we have added two new voters and had one voter changed their
email address.  If you need to change your email address, now is the time to
do that.  Please send me a note: [hidden email], if you need your email
changed.

Now back to our regular email:

This is a reminder that it's that time again!  Please announce yourself as a
candidate before Monday 28th of January 3PM (20.00 UTC) if you plan to run
for the Squeak Oversight Board.  It is a good idea to do that soon so that
you will be able to answer questions from the community.

Please consider running yourself or reach out to community members you think
would be good to have on the board.

You can follow the election progress here:
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6191

If you are a part of the community and have not voted in the past please let
me know.

If you were invited to vote last year you are already on the list, no
worries! If you are a new Squeaker and wish vote do ONE of the following:

* Get a "known" Squeaker to vouch for you. If a known Squeaker sends an
email to me ([hidden email]) giving me name and email for you - then I
will add you.

* Send an email to me ([hidden email]) presenting yourself with
information/arguments showing me that you are indeed serious about voting
and that you are indeed a Squeaker. And no, I don't have any hints on what
you should write! :) Unless you totally screw that up, you will probably be
added. And no, don't send me a 10 page essay ;)

When the voting period starts all voters will receive an email with
instructions and a link to the voting website.

Also don't forget once the election starts PLEASE VOTE!

All the best,

Ron Teitelbaum

+1

Actively going after more female participation is a Good Thing. E.g. in the last project over in Squeakland (the Etoys documentation sprint sponsored by Google) women outnumbered men by 2:1. One more incentive to bring back Etoys into Squeak, maybe? :)
