Hello all,

So I am happy to stand for election again.  

I mostly work with VM stuff on odd linux systems.  I have used Squeak
since back when it came out on Mac OS 8 but am very far from a
professional.

I am a bit like Peter though in that there are surely better people
than I and those people should think of raising their hands.  

cheers

bruce
