I am running for the Squeak Oversight Board this year.
I am a hobby programmer who has participated in the Squeak community
for quite a few years on a strictly amateur basis. In my professional
life, I have done technology management, supervisory roles, and a range
of system integration and specialty programming project work. For Squeak,
I have done a few interesting projects such as OSProcess and TZ-Olson
(see SqueakMap package loader) and some VM support work.
I have grown rather fond of Squeak over the years, and I am committed
both to preserving its heritage and to advancing its ongoing development.
My most recent contribution to Squeak was the UTC time enhancements
that are now in Squeak 5.3, and I hope to make more contributions in
the future. But more importantly, I want to encourage and support the
amazingly great new work that I see coming from university students
(esp. HPI), the mind-bending internet and JS work coming from Craig
and Bert and others, and the cutting edge VM development coming from
Eliot's growing base of oscog developers. I view it as a critical
technology management problem to make sure that Squeak continues to
be an open, effective, and respected platform for advancing these
complementary goals.
Last but definitely not least, I want Squeak to provide great support
for art and education, including music, graphics, and projects such
as Etoys and Scratch.
