Time for a new election in squeak.org soon

Hi all!

This is a post to the Squeak election-list, but I am CCing to squeak-dev
AND pharo (just to keep you guys in the loop).

NOTE: If you reply to this post, no need to harass the pharo list with
the actual thread, let's keep that on squeak-dev/election-list.

Yeah, I know. :) I haven't had the energy to get it all going yet...

Community check:

- Are there any "ideas" about changes to the election process?

- Are we satisfied with how it all works or are there things we need to
address?

- Does the SOB have any thoughts on it (although of course partial to
the issue)?

This was last year:

...the first post usually explains how it works:

PS. I still consider Pharo and Squeak to be highly intertwined
communities so input from Pharons/Pharaos/Pharooosies/p... ah, what are
you guys called? :) ...is also welcome.

Because the world is not black and white. A lot of us are actually
involved in *both* Squeak and Pharo - I currently use both depending on
what I want to do. And we share the VM. And we share tons of code and
tons of projects, etc etc.

The *they* you mention above includes me (although I never "went away").

So yes, I care a lot about Pharo and the Pharies, and being
confrontational is *IMHO* silly and terribly counter productive.

regards, Göran

Agreed. I'd like to see more cross-fertilization and less bashing. In particular from Squeakers. Pharoers had their reasons to leave, but I'd much rather see bridges built than burned.
