Hi all Squeakers!
Ok, the Squeak Foundation Board Election 2008 ended 19 minutes ago - promptly at 18.00 UTC, 8 March.
For this year we had 437 authorized voters of which 178 voted, that is slightly more than 40% voting - a bit disappointing IMHO since we had 157 voting of 347 last year which gives above 45%. On the other hand 178 is more than 157, so we had more voters and thus a growing community, which of course is the most important aspect!
And without further ado I bring you the board for the following year starting from NOW. The order reflects the ranking from the election:
1. Dan Ingalls 2. Craig Latta 3. Bert Freudenberg 4. Yoshiki Ohshima 5. Tim Rowledge 6. Randal L. Schwartz 7. Igor Stasenko
And thus the candidates left out are the following (also in ranked order):
8. Giovanni Corriga 9. Edgar J. De Cleene 10. Andrew P. Black 11. Matthew Fulmer 12. Tansel Ersavas

This also means that we say THANK YOU to Andrew Black, Cees de Groot and Stéphane Ducasse for having served on the board the previous year. Thanks guys!
And we also say welcome Dan, Randal and Igor to the board!
And thank YOU for voting and all the best to the new board! Viva la Squeak!
regards, Göran Krampe
PS. And to you guys that didn't get on the board - hey, we all know that the REAL WORK is done in the teams, right? :)
