What is the situation with our contact people to communities off the list? They might not have as convenient a tool as SqP. if they tell us they need more time, we should seriously consider delaying the deadline (and therefore everything else) by a couple of weeks.

Hi all,
Some numbers:
- Subscribers to squeak-dev: 1401.
- Certified Squeak People accounts: 237.
That is *not* a good ratio. It means that our voting registry will have some 15-20% of people on squeak-dev, so even if everyone on SqP votes it will still be a small minority who will have backed the "institution" SqF.
Please, please - go to http://people.squeakfoundation.org/ and create an account if you haven't done so. Add a pointer to your homepage and/or a small description, for me that's been enough so far to at least recognize someone as being a "real person" which for me triggers certification to at least Apprentice, which is what you need to be in the voting registry.
I want a strong board that can make decisions knowing that they're backed by a substantial number of Squeakers. And 15% ain't substantial, in my eyes...
Regards,
Cees
