- all members attending

- Election procedure was discussed:

    * since the Squeak People website is defunct a page listing all the
      eligible voters needs to be created and posted on squeak.org
    * might be similar to Sugar Labs (another SFC member project)
      http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Members/List
    * a person would be eligible to vote by having shown they'd made a
      contribution
    * as there is a conflict of interest, not the board, but the
      election team should approve contributors
    * possibly this could be automated, e.g. by adding a Squeak
      People-like network of trust to Squeak Map
    * this discussion needs to be public on Squeak-Dev

- A beta version of Etoys 5 has been released 
(http://squeakland.org/download <http://squeakland.org/download/>)

- Colin discussed creating remote tools for work on a mini Squeak image:

    * While Smalltalk offers reflection, the ideal is to have a program
      as unaffected by its tools as a program is by a text editor
    * Colin uses a miniature image for the Atom feed of his website
      wiresong.ca. He built the image from Pavel's core using the Mason
      build tool. He is planning to post a link to Squeak-Dev to allow
      people to download this image

- All members of the board are running for re-election with the 
exception of Jecel, who described his position at the last meeting

- Armed with a FreeBSD vm, Randal is in the process of creating a 
booking engine application or Insight Cruises and offered to post a link 
to the website when it's done
