Well, Bert and Yoshiki are currently quite active on the eToys-XO
project, but have generally been quite active in many areas.

Craig is Spoon, yes.

Tim is VM Grand Master and currently (?) active on the Sophie project.

Andrew is one the the "Berne guys", academic base. Recently known for
SqueakByExample.

- Croquet... not really, no. Well, I guess Bert is closest :)

- EToys definitely (Bert and Yoshiki).

- Seaside... not really. Closest? Hmmm, Bert again?

In fact, the board does not currently use IRC (I just talked to Craig
about it, on IRC :)) - they use Skype. And they have been choosing times
where people can participate. And they have been doing it in text (not
voice).

And also - the board will just have to find a way to operate together
when elected - it is as simple as that. :)

Soo... that is not a valid reason to not step up to the plate!!! :)
