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.

Pharaohs!

...now if we were still using initials instead of full names I would
look for who had the initials "tut"...

Yes, and it's a crying shame!

Still, on Tuesday I'll be holding a course to introduce a couple of  
colleagues to Smalltalk, and one of them is a Sussie. I'll be sure and  
mention this community on my course, so fingers crossed that I can get  
her interested!

Cleopatra was a really amazing queen.
Now to comment on your point:
        - it is amazing that when I was teaching Scheme women were better than men in average and still they
        would not continue in CS.
        - when I went in India for lectures this was more 50-50 probably because coding is not a well payed
        job there.
Now in europe we have even problem to recruit male CS and the number of students in applied maths/maths
which is normally more than CS is decreasing too. May be they all want to be managers.
