[squeak-dev] Squeak board meeting minutes, 2008-03-19

>
> Hi--
>
>      The Squeak board meets on first and third Wednesdays. At the
> 2008-03-19 meeting, all board members were present (Dan Ingalls, Craig
> Latta, Bert Freudenberg, Yoshiki Ohshima, Tim Rowledge, Randal Schwartz,
> Igor Stasenko). Andrew Black, from the previous board, also attended to
> hand off old business. Thanks to Andrew, Cees de Groot and Stéphane
> Ducasse for their service on the previous board!
>
>      Andrew said that he had Squeak badges remaining, and that he would
> send some back to Tim, and hand off the rest to Randal in person at some
> point.
>
>      Thanks to everyone who has been discussing the squeak.org website.
> It is our unanimous recommendation that Janko lead the web team, and
> continue coordinating work on the Squeak website. Our main concerns are
> that the site be "search engine friendly", and that content updates
> happen in a timely fashion. While we don't think a change in the site's
> infrastructure is strictly necessary to address those concerns, we like
> what Janko has done so far and appreciate the energy he has brought to
> the task.
>
>      We exhausted the hour we had for the meeting before addressing
> Brian Rice's request (about updating the content at the current site).
> Sorry about that, Brian. Speaking for myself, it looks like Janko's demo
> is far enough along that Brian might be able to make the updates there.
> I'm hoping that he and Janko can come to some agreement about this. As
> the Teams coordinator, I'm happy to help further that discussion.
>
>      Finally, the board agrees that the web team list is a better place
> than squeak-dev to discuss the website. If you care about the website,
> please join and participate[1]!
