Oops, that page looks about a year out of date ... for reference, here's the previous election results:

Wouldn't it be great to beat the record of 12 nominations this year? Step up, people! Also, maybe encourage others by email, in private or public, to run!  Being on a board member really is not that much work, about one hour twice a month, plus some emailing which everybody does anyway. If you care deeply about Squeak then you should consider running. Pretty please, with sugar on top ;)
