Dear Squeakers,
welcome to the The Weekly Squeak Summary, a weekly report on what's
going on in the world of Squeak based on the Weekly Squeak blog.
It's been another quiet week. Still, there is a highlight that affects
most of us.
VOTE! -

participation. That is, not only should everybody cast their vote, but
they also ought to think about the candidates can be interrogated with
regard to their particular views on a board membership. A catalogue of
questions is to be posted on the Weekly Squeak blog. Please
contribute!
Here's the summary of the other three news items that we've had.
