<div dir="ltr">Hi All,<br><br>Happy weekend to everyone! We have 3 candidates for 7 board positions.<span class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"> </span><br><br><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">(in the order of announcement) </div><br>Craig Latta<br>Tim Rowledge<br>Marcel Taeumel<br><br>No need to wait to announce you are running. Feel free to announce your candidacy on the weekend! <br><br>Over the years we have had a few questions about running. One theme, I'm not a programmer, has come up a few times. You do not need to be a programmer to join the Oversight Board. Dedicated users of Squeak have a lot to contribute! If you have been on the fence about running for the board, are not a programmer, but find you are participating a lot in discussions on Squeak-dev maybe this year is your year to run!<br><br>Now is also your time to get on the list to vote. If you have been lurking on Squeak-dev and not posting but you follow what is going on please send me a note and let me know you want to vote. Voting is one way for you to contribute to your community! Please take the time to contribute to Squeak by helping to shape our future! <br><br>Ok now back to the weekend!<br><br>All the best,<br><br>Ron Teitelbaum <div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Jan 11, 2019 at 3:08 AM Marcel Taeumel <<a href="mailto:marcel.taeumel@hpi.de">marcel.taeumel@hpi.de</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div id="gmail-m_1099748164198173233__MailbirdStyleContent" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<div>Hi, there.</div><div><br></div><div>I would like to continue serving on the Squeak Oversight Board in 2019, too.

We have had some excellent people run and not be elected that would have been terrific members of the board! You show your commitment to Squeak just by running! For those of you that say you don't have the time or are not sure what you would have to do, we have had some excellent answers in the past. There is no requirement or specific demands and the board decides when and how it will meet. Most, if not all, meetings are electronic so the demands on your time are very low! Plus the members are all terrific people you will enjoy working with!</div><div style="font-size:10pt"><br></div><div style="font-size:10pt">Jump on in and add your name to the candidate list!</div><div style="font-size:10pt"><br></div><div style="font-size:10pt">Thanks!</div><div style="font-size:10pt"><br></div><div style="font-size:10pt">Ron Teitelbaum</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Thu, Jan 10, 2019 at 2:49 AM Craig Latta <<a href="mailto:craig@blackpagedigital.com" target="_blank">craig@blackpagedigital.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex;min-width:500px"><br>
Hi all--<br>
<br>
I'd like to serve on the Squeak Oversight Board in 2019. With you<br>
and my fellow board members, I intend to continue...<br>
<br>
- ...representing Squeak at conferences, including ESUG and the<br>
International Conference on Live Coding[1].<br>
<br>
- ...maintaining the agenda and notes at the board meetings. I<br>
anticipate having the time to make posts to the board blog this<br>
term.<br>
<br>
- ...developing symbiosis between the Squeak, JavaScript, and Web<br>
platform communities through my work with Caffeine[2] and<br>
SqueakJS[3].<br>
<br>
I would be honored to have your vote.<br>
<br>
<br>
cheers!<br>
<br>
Craig<br>
<br>
