I would like that as well.  I missed the election, just like with last
year.

We are a global community of volunteers.  A lot of us have limited and
irregular time to contribute to Squeak.

As a point of comparison, here is Debian's timeline this year for
electing a project leader:

 Nomination period:  Feb 4th - Feb 25th   (3 weeks)
 Campaigning period: Feb 25th - Mar 18th  (3 weeks)
   Voting period:    Mar 18th - Apr  8th  (3 weeks)


Incidentally, I received no email at all.  I guess I must be
registered incorrectly somewhere.
