Below is the original<br>email. You can find more information about what has gone on since then<br>here: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6346 <br><br>As a quick summary we now have 4 candidates for 7 board seats<br><br>Candidates in order of announcement:<br>Tim Rowledge<br>Marcel Taeumel<br>Craig Latta<br>Bert Freudenberg<br><br>We still need candidates. Please feel free to nudge people you think should<br>run for the board or, if you have been an important part of the community,<br>you might consider running yourself. <br><br>Welcome back to the mailing lists!<br><br>All the best,<br><br>Ron Teitelbaum<br><br>> From: Ron Teitelbaum [mailto:ron@3dicc.com]<br>> Sent: Tuesday, January 12, 2016 9:55 AM<br>> <br>> Hi All,<br>> <br>> It's that time again. Time to raise your voices and elect your leaders!<br>> It's a time for you to stand up, help your community and volunteer to<br>serve!<br>> Squeak wants you!<br>> <br>> Every year we elect the SOB (Squeak Oversight Board) consisting of seven<br>> members from our community. The current board members are:<br>> <br>> 1. Bert Freudenberg<br>> 2. Eliot Miranda<br>> 3. Tim Rowledge<br>> 4. Frank Shearar<br>> 5. Craig Latta<br>> 6. Chris Muller<br>> 7. David T. Lewis<br>> <br>> For more info on the board please see:<br>> https://squeakboard.wordpress.com/our-mission/<br>> <br>> Everything about the election, including schedule and more, can be<br>> <br>> tracked here:<br>> <br>> http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6346<br>> <br>> <br>> Now until Monday 1st of February 3PM (20.00 UTC): Nominations of SOB<br>> members and campaigning!<br>> <br>> Candidates should nominate themselves and start their campaign on the<br>> squeak-dev mailing list. Or if you nominate someone else, make sure that<br>> person really wants to run. :) I will not put anyone on the candidate list<br>until<br>> that person makes it known on squeak-dev that he/she intends to run.<br>> <br>> During this period, the candidates should ideally present themselves on<br>> squeak-dev, unless they have already done so, and the community can ask<br>> questions.<br>> <br>> I encourage you to reach out to potential candidates, people that are<br>active<br>> in the community and represent your views, and ask them to run. Some<br>> people will not run without encouragement. Also I know that some people<br>> wait to the last minute to run for the board to see if others will run but<br>> please consider getting this year off to a faster start and just jump<br>right in!<br>> <br>> *** Now until Monday 1st of February 3PM (20.00 UTC): Nominations of SOB<br>> members and campaigning!<br>> *** Monday 1st of February 2015 3PM (20.00 UTC): Candidate list is<br>> finalized.<br>> *** Monday 1st of February 2015 4PM (21.00 UTC): Online election starts.<br>> *** Tuesday 9th of February 2015 6PM (23.00 UTC): Online election ends.<br>> *** Results will be announced immediately when the election ends.<br>> <br>> The voting period is one week long and ballots are sent out via email.<br>> <br>> And how do you end up on the voter list? See below. :)<br>> <br>> IMPORTANT: New voters will NOT be added once the election is started.<br>> You<br>> MUST try to get on the voter list before the 1st of February 2014 or you<br>will<br>> NOT be able to vote. If your Email has changed please make sure it is<br>> changed on the list of voters before the election starts.<br>> <br>> --------------------------<br>> <br>> If you were invited to vote last year you are already on the voter list,<br>no<br>> worries! If you are a new Squeaker and wish to vote do ONE of the<br>following:<br>> <br>> * Get a "known" Squeaker to vouch for you. If a known Squeaker sends<br>> an email to voters (at) squeak.org giving me name and email for you, then<br>I<br>> will add you.<br>> * Send an email to voters at squeak.org yourself (and CC to<br>squeak-dev if<br>> you like) with information/arguments showing me that you are indeed<br>> serious about voting and that you are indeed a Squeaker.<br>> <br>> When the voting period starts all voters will receive an email with<br>> instructions and a link to the voting website.<br>> <br>> If there are any further questions, just reply *in this thread* and I will<br>> closely track it - or send email to voters (at) squeak.org which points to<br>me.<br>> <br>> ...so let's get on with it!<br>> <br>> All the best,<br>> <br>> Ron Teitelbaum<br>> <br><br><br><br></body>
