[squeak-dev] Another Nomination for the Squeak Foundation

Hello All,

I would like to nominate another person for the Squeak Foundation Board.
This person is a founding member of our community and the principal
architect of five generations of Smalltalk environments. He is the inventor
of BitBlt as well as the designer of the first byte-coded VM in 1976. He
also worked with John Maloney to create Morphic. We are very fortunate to
have been able to encourage him to run for the board.

It is with great pleasure that I nominate Dan Ingalls for the Squeak
Foundation Board.

Dan is and has always been an active member of our community. You can see
him jumping in on conversations, posting about his work and contributing to
this community. Dan is currently working at Sun building a Squeak-Like
Morphic implementation that runs on a VM but that uses only JavaScript on
the client browser. This is very exciting and a Lively Kernel for future
development.

Dan is also aware of the challenges facing our community in terms of
organization, licensing and development direction. He is willing to help us
as much as he can because as he says, "I feel a strong commitment to
Squeak".

Please welcome Dan Ingalls to the Squeak Foundation 2008 Election.

Thank you,

Ron Teitelbaum

That's really wonderful news and many thanks to Dan deciding to come
back into more active role in Squeak community. Community really needs
angels like Dan!

since my first message was not clear I want to clarify that.
I sincerly hope that Dan is coming back to Squeak and not just to the
Squeakfoundation.
Because the foundation was a bit getting stuck into licensessssssssss
(not for inaction but because
of licenses).

Folks -

First of all, thanks for your kind comments. I would have written
something more promptly except that Ron's invitation caught me on
vacation.

In answer to Stef's question, I never left Squeak. Squeak has many
wonderful strengths, and a few weaknesses as well, and I still have
an interest in keeping it alive and relevant and fun.

I could probably be useful as a name on the board, and I am as
interested as ever in the opportunities for Squeak in today's world
and how to take advantage of them.

That said, if my candidacy has any chance of reducing other active
participation, then perhaps we should figure a different way to
provide the benefit of my association without competing for active
board slots. At this point my sole motivation is to lend support,
not to advance any personal agendas.

- Dan
