Squeak Oversight Board Election 2019

Hi All, It's that time again. Time to raise your voices and elect your leaders! Can you believe it's been a year already? It's a time for you to stand up, help your community and volunteer to serve! Squeak wants you! Every year we elect the SOB (Squeak Oversight Board) consisting of seven members from our community. The current board members are: 1. Bert Freudenberg 2. Eliot Miranda 3. Tim Rowledge 4. David T. Lewis 5. Marcel Taeumel 6. Craig Latta 7. Nicolas Cellier For more info on the board please see: Everything about the election, including schedule and more, can be tracked here: Now until Monday 21nd of January 3 PM (20.00 UTC): Nominations of SOB members and campaigning! Candidates should nominate themselves and start their campaign on the squeak-dev mailing list. Or if you nominate someone else, make sure that person really wants to run. :) I will not put anyone on the candidate list until that person makes it known on squeak-dev that he/she intends to run. During this period, the candidates should ideally present themselves on squeak-dev, unless they have already done so, and the community can ask questions. I encourage you to reach out to potential candidates, people that are active in the community and represent your views, and ask them to run. Some people will not run without encouragement. Also, I know that some people wait to the last minute to run for the board to see if others will run but please consider getting this year off to a faster start and just jump right in! Schedule: Now until Monday 21nd of January 3 PM (20.00 UTC): Nominations of SOB members and campaigning! Monday 21nd of January 2019 3 PM (20.00 UTC): Candidate list is finalized. Monday 21nd of January 2019 4 PM (21.00 UTC): Online election starts. Tuesday 5th of February 2019 4 PM (23.00 UTC): Online election ends. Results will be announced immediately when the election ends. The voting period is two week long and ballots are sent out via email. And how do you end up on the voter list? See below. :) IMPORTANT: New voters will NOT be added once the election is started. You MUST try to get on the voter list before the 21st of January 2019 or you will NOT be able to vote. If your Email has changed please try to make sure it is changed on the list of voters before the election starts. -------------------------- If you were invited to vote last year you are already on the voter list, no worries! If you are a new Squeaker and wish to vote you should do ONE of the following: * Get a "known" Squeaker to vouch for you. If a known Squeaker sends an email to voters (at) squeak.org giving me a name and email for you, then I will add you. * Send an email to voters at squeak.org yourself (and CC to squeak-dev if you like) with information/arguments showing me that you are indeed serious about voting and that you are indeed a Squeaker. When the voting period starts all voters will receive an email with instructions and a link to the voting website. If there are any further questions, just reply *in this thread* and I will closely track it - or send email to voters (at) squeak.org which points to me. ...so let's get on with it! All the best, Ron Teitelbaum |

Hi All, Thank you Craig for jumping right in! I would encourage everyone else to follow Craig's lead. I know some people like to wait but the more candidates the better. The lack of candidates shouldn't be an incentive for people to run and a large number of candidates shouldn't be a reason for you to decide against volunteering to run! We have had some excellent people run and not be elected that would have been terrific members of the board! You show your commitment to Squeak just by running! For those of you that say you don't have the time or are not sure what you would have to do, we have had some excellent answers in the past. There is no requirement or specific demands and the board decides when and how it will meet. Most, if not all, meetings are electronic so the demands on your time are very low! Plus the members are all terrific people you will enjoy working with! Jump on in and add your name to the candidate list! Thanks!

Hi, there. I would like to continue serving on the Squeak Oversight Board in 2019, too. My main interests encompass user interaction (Morphic), code modularity (readability/extensibility), backwards compatibility (Etoys), and programming/productivity tools. During the past years, it has been a healthy mix of promising ideas, enlightening discussions, and challenging viewpoints. I do value such programming experiences as a great addition to my daily life. Squeak's community is great! Thank you. :-) Let us continue shaping Squeak for many opportunities to come! It is an intriguing programming system with its liveness promoting exploratory working habits. What a time to be a "programmer". ;-) Best, Marcel

Hi All,
Happy weekend to everyone! We have 3 candidates for 7 board positions. (in the order of announcement) Craig Latta Tim Rowledge Marcel Taeumel No need to wait to announce you are running. Feel free to announce your candidacy on the weekend! Over the years we have had a few questions about running. One theme, I'm not a programmer, has come up a few times. You do not need to be a programmer to join the Oversight Board. Dedicated users of Squeak have a lot to contribute! If you have been on the fence about running for the board, are not a programmer, but find you are participating a lot in discussions on Squeak-dev maybe this year is your year to run! Now is also your time to get on the list to vote. If you have been lurking on Squeak-dev and not posting but you follow what is going on please send me a note and let me know you want to vote. Voting is one way for you to contribute to your community! Please take the time to contribute to Squeak by helping to shape our future! Ok now back to the weekend! All the best, Ron Teitelbaum On Fri, Jan 11, 2019 at 3:08 AM Marcel Taeumel <[hidden email]> wrote:

Thanks for the reminder Ron! Please step up! It takes little more than chatting for an hour twice a month to serve this great community. Also, please encourage others! Send them a private email (or public too, I guess) if you would like to see someone on the Oversight Board. And lastly, I'd be honored to serve again this year. - Bert - On Sat, Jan 12, 2019 at 11:42 AM Ron Teitelbaum <[hidden email]> wrote:

Hi All, Thank you everyone for stepping up early! We have 4 candidates for 7 board seats. Craig Latta Tim Rowledge Marcel Taeumel Bert Freudenberg and 7 days left before voting starts. Please encourage people you know to run for the board! Send them an email, encourage them to run. Consider running yourself. If you have been an active member of the Squeak community or one of our sister communities please consider running!

I am running for a position on the Squeak Oversight Board this year. I approach Squeak as a hobby programmer, and I am also a long time contributor to Squeak and related packages. I am committed to the core values of Squeak as a system that can be understood, adapted, and used by a single curious individual, and that is portable across computing platforms and over time. My bias is toward careful engineering in support of aggressive innovation, and I see Squeak as promoting a uniquely successful balance of these goals. I have no commercial interest in Squeak, and I have a strong personal interest to its ongoing success. I also view Squeak as central to a broader ecosystem, including OpenSmalltalk-vm, Cuis, Pharo, and the commercial Smalltalk systems. Thanks, Dave |

After years of watching, this year I signed up to vote for the first time! A personal development program I'm involved in made me realize I've been keeping myself on the sidelines since the election normally takes care of itself - but my complacency disconnects me from my community. So I signed up. I would encourage anyone else lurking to also do so. It really didn't hurt. And then someone encouraged me to nominate. My first thought was "no, I'm more involved with Pharo". Then after consideration I realized who I am is someone concerned with the continuation of Squeak and with a foot in both camps I may have something of value to offer the Squeak community. While the two dialects are diverging significantly at the UI level, my interests lie at the lower levels where there doesn't "necessarily" need to a lot of differences. Notwithstanding opposing design decisions, the natural enemy is isolation. So should the Squeak community see value in it, I would: * quantify the low level Squeak/Pharo differences referenced against Pharo's headless build * promote low level homogenization of dialects (and I'll be glad to learn something new from any dissent around design decisions) * promote a headless version of Squeak to run on the same minheadless VM that Pharo is targetting * work to reduce dialect specific IFDEFS in the vm code I offer my candidacy for the 2019 Squeak Oversight Board on that platform. If you see the possibility of that benefiting Squeak, please let your opinion be known by voting, particularly if you've not voted before. cheers -ben |

Hello All, Another reminder that we are running out of time. If you are considering stepping up and running for the Squeak Oversight Board now is the time. Please announce your candidacy now. Voting will start next week! We have 6 candidates for 7 board seats. Tim Rowledge Marcel Taeumel Bert Freudenberg David T. Lewis Ben Coman As a reminder when you vote you will select the candidates by placing them the order you want them ranking them first to last and placing None of the below above candidates you don't want to see elected. None of the below has never been elected and this is a great group of candidates so I don't expect that to be an issue. If we don't get 7 elected board members we will seat the highest odd number which means that if we stay with 6 candidates only 5 will get elected. Please reach out to people you would like to see on the Board and get them to run. Thanks! All the best, Ron Teitelbaum On Tue, Jan 15, 2019 at 12:08 PM Ron Teitelbaum <[hidden email]> wrote:

As a long time Squeaker (since 1.x on a Macintosh) and an occasional contributor (two methods in 18 years ;-), I offer my services to the community as a member of the Squeak Oversight Board. Since I don't have a very high profile in the community, I offer this brief, biased, bio. My Professional background is in Corporate IT designing, building, implementing, and managing technical and business applications as an individual contributor, team member, and manager. I am pretty much self-taught after one COBOL for Accountants class at Uni followed by OJT working on a smorgasbord of computers and languages from embedded to mainframe to distributed (as a programmer, not an accountant (right place, right time)). The first program I ever modified in a work environment was in machine code on a Wang. I have dabbled in assembler but did not have the patience to do much with it. I started working with Squeak on a hobby project that I had started trying to code in C, then Pascal, both of which were painful). When I read about a Smalltalk being released on usenet, I jumped at the chance to try it because I had seen a PP vendor demonstration a few years earlier and was gobsmacked at its capabilities, which fit into all of the various niches which I had been working in but was rejected by the suits in favor of Forte (what's that you say? JAVA in a fancy dress). Squeak, with information I was able to learn in the library and on the net, enabled me to write an application using GIS data from an arcane data structure, but Morphic stymied me in my attempts to complete the graphic part of my design (as much my fault as not). I have written some other applications for my personal use and continue to learn more about Squeak and the ever growing constellation of software which is derived or influenced by it. If the Squeak community decides to elect me to the SOB, I will do my best to help Squeak grow and thrive as a language and culture which fosters learning, creativity, experimentation, and openness.

Thanks Ron, and thanks to all who volunteered to run for the board, and all who voted. A special welcome to new board member Ben Coman, and return member Chris Muller. Ben, if I am not mistaken you are based in Western Australia, which is great because we have many under-represented Squeakers in Japan about one hour away from you on the time zone map. As luck would have it, we have a Squeak oversight board meeting scheduled for tomorrow, not too many hours from now. It's probably too late to coordinate all the incoming and emeritus members, but we do have an open agenda item to pick a new and better meeting time for our meetings. Given that we now have a GMT+08:00 member on the board, I would like to suggest a board meeting time of 22:00 GMT for future meetings: proposedMeetingTime := '22:00' asTime. "GMT" t := proposedMeetingTime asDateAndTime makeUTC. "proposedMeetingTime time today" { 'meeting time GMT' -> t asString. 'ben in western australia' -> (t localOffsetSeconds: 8 hours asSeconds) asTime. 'craig in amsterdam' -> (t localOffsetSeconds: 1 hours asSeconds) asTime. 'marcel in potsdam' -> (t localOffsetSeconds: 1 hours asSeconds) asTime. 'dave in michigan' -> (t localOffsetSeconds: 5 hours asSeconds negated) asTime. 'chris in middle america' -> (t localOffsetSeconds: 6 hours asSeconds negated) asTime. 'tim in vancouver island' -> (t localOffsetSeconds: 8 hours asSeconds negated) asTime. 'bert in magdeburg' -> (t localOffsetSeconds: 1 hours asSeconds) asTime. 'bert in california' -> (t localOffsetSeconds: 8 hours asSeconds negated) asTime. } "==> {'meeting time GMT'->'2019-02-05T22:00:00+00:00' . 'ben in western australia'->6:00 am . 'craig in amsterdam'->11:00 pm . 'marcel in potsdam'->11:00 pm . 'dave in michigan'->5:00 pm . 'chris in middle america'->4:00 pm . 'tim in vancouver island'->2:00 pm . 'bert in magdeburg'->11:00 pm . 'bert in california'->2:00 pm}" This of course requires that some of us be awake at 6:00am, and that others be not asleep at 11:00pm, but I offer it as a starting suggestion :-) Dave |
