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

Hi All,

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

OK, so after several people have asked me, yes, I'll stand for the board.

Most of you already know me; for those that don't - I've been Smalltalking since 1984, developing VMs since 1986, developing Squeak since 1996. I'm old, cranky, reasonably smart, know where most of the bodies are buried (because I buried a lot of them), and in favour of simplicity where possible and brute force everywhere else. I have a long history with ARM cpus and RISC OS, which is why I'm currently working to get Squeak back up to date on the Raspberry Pi platform.

PS I also need a source of money. Aside from various sorts of engineering and design I have quite a bit of experience in technical intelligence analysis for patent disputes and govt. work.

Never test for an error condition you don't know how to handle.

Great to see you running for the board. And in particular your
interest to get a recent version of Squeak on to the R Pi.
