The Oversight Board is currently in the process of finalizing an agreement with the Software Freedom Conservancy for Squeak to join the conservancy. One crucial part of this agreement describes how the governing committee (Squeak Oversight Board) is elected.
This has not exactly been set in stone as we have changed the details somewhat over the last few years and it has tended to be somewhat informal and adhoc. I and Cees closed the SqueakPeople site which was part of the original process and so while we are using the original data from there we no longer have the original mechanism for updating the voter list.
How does the election team see the current process? Are changes likely in the next year or two? Can you help us write up a short but complete description of the process?
I'm sure we can update the agreement if the process changes, but we need to do the best we can on the version that we actually sign.
Thanks,
Ken
