Re: Squeak Foundation Board 2007

I'm announcing my candidacy for squeak foundation board.

I currently derive all of my income from Seaside application development working out of my home.

I have taken over maintenance of the GLORP port and am working with Alan Knight to make it every bit as slick as Rails for doing automatic schema migrations. For Squeak, I've added connection pooling and basic schema migration.

I was previously the manager of Amazon.com's AJAX applications team and used Squeak to build an HTML/CSS validator to cut Amazon's error count from an average of 13 mismatched or unclosed tags to about one per page during 2005/2006. http://badpage.net

I blog about stuff I care about at http://blackbagops.net

I would like to accomplish:

1) Reconciliation between the two very different goals of research and production ready system. Both are important.

2) Work for funding for purpose of bounties/stipends for core facilities that will benefit the core platform.

3) Improve relations/communication among the various forks of squeak.

4) Raise awareness of Squeak as a serious open source platform for application development.
