25 Jan '20

YOUR VOTE MATTERS! It is time to vote! We have 7 candidates for 7 board positions but your voting is still really important to show support for your board! Please take the time to look for the ballot in your email. You might find that it is in your spam folder. Don't just move it but mark the email as NOT SPAM. The email comes from Ron Teitelbaum (CIVS poll supervisor) It has the subject: *Poll: Squeak Oversight Board 2020 * and it was sent on: *1/20/2020. * Some of you may have received multiple emails. There was an email that was preventing the emails from going out to everyone. You only need to vote once and the system will only allow you to vote one time. If you have any questions or can not find your ballot please let me know. I can send it to you again. The voting goes on for 2 weeks to make sure everyone has time to vote. The election will end on Tuesday 4th of February 2020 4 PM (21.00 UTC) Please don't wait until the last minute to vote do it now while it is on the top of your email! Thank you everyone for your participation! We have a great community and terrific candidates for the Squeak Oversight Board! All the best, Ron Teitelbaum

17 Jan '20

Hi All, It's that time again. Time to raise your voices and elect your leaders! Can you believe it's been a year already? It's a time for you to stand up, help your community and volunteer to serve! Squeak wants you! Every year we elect the SOB (Squeak Oversight Board) consisting of seven members from our community. The current board members are: 1. Bert Freudenberg 2. Craig Latta 3. Tim Rowledge 4. David T. Lewis 5. Marcel Taeumel 6. Chris Muller 7. Ben Coman For more info on the board please see: https://squeakboard.wordpress.com/our-mission/ Everything about the election, including schedule and more, can be tracked here: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6636 Now until Monday 20th of January 3 PM (20.00 UTC): Nominations of SOB members and campaigning! Candidates should nominate themselves and start their campaign on the squeak-dev mailing list. Or if you nominate someone else, make sure that person really wants to run. :) I will not put anyone on the candidate list until that person makes it known on squeak-dev that he/she intends to run. During this period, the candidates should ideally present themselves on squeak-dev, unless they have already done so, and the community can ask questions. I encourage you to reach out to potential candidates, people that are active in the community and represent your views, and ask them to run. Some people will not run without encouragement. Also, I know that some people wait to the last minute to run for the board to see if others will run but please consider getting this year off to a faster start and just jump right in! The schedule and process are as follows: Now until Monday 20th of January 3 PM (20.00 UTC): Nominations of SOB members and campaigning! Monday 20th of January 2020 3 PM (20.00 UTC): Candidate list is finalized. Monday 20th of January 2020 4 PM (21.00 UTC): Online election starts. Tuesday 4th of February 2020 4 PM (23.00 UTC): Online election ends. Results will be announced immediately after the election ends. The voting period is two week long and ballots are sent out via email. And how do you end up on the voter list? See below. :) IMPORTANT: New voters will NOT be added once the election is started. You MUST try to get on the voter list before the 20st of January 2020 or you will NOT be able to vote. If your Email has changed please try to make sure it is changed on the list of voters before the election starts. -------------------------- If you were invited to vote last year you are already on the voter list, no worries! If you are a new Squeaker and wish to vote you should do ONE of the following: * Get a "known" Squeaker to vouch for you. If a known Squeaker sends an email to voters (at) squeak.org giving me a name and email for you, then I will add you. * Send an email to voters at squeak.org yourself (and CC to squeak-dev if you like) with information/arguments showing me that you are indeed serious about voting and that you are indeed a Squeaker. When the voting period starts all voters will receive an email with instructions and a link to the voting website. If there are any further questions, just reply *in this thread* and I will closely track it - or send email to voters (at) squeak.org which points to me. ...so let's get on with it! All the best, Ron Teitelbaum

Thanks Tim! I agree when the ballots go out please vote right away so you don't forget! For those of you that say I don't know who to vote for, and that's why I didn't vote, please ask questions of the candidates or read their announcement so that you will be well informed before the ballots go out. Also if you need to get on the voter list now is the time to do it! Please send an email to squeak-dev or to me asking to be put on the voter rolls! it couldn't be easier! Also happy birthday Tim! I have no clue why my phone knows it is your birthday or how it figured that out (seems creepy doesn't it) but since I do know I'd like to wish you another wonderful trip around the sun!

Where to discuss strategies and tools for a comeback of Smalltalk using Scratch as entrance
by bernhardHoefner 23 Nov '18

23 Nov '18

Hello Group. I like to discuss about the subject and have also some ideas. But I want to ask first for the proper list within the forum. I heard that there is a discussion ongoing and want to participate. I will send this question to Squeak and Pharo usegroup and to the Phratch-developer. I assume that there is a common discussion about the subject. Hopefully there is no need to open on each platform an individual thread. Regards, Bernhard -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/SqueakLand-f113713.html
