[Election 2008] Campaigning period is on! - Beginners

25 Feb 2008


      Hi all!
The nomination period for this years election of the Squeak Foundation
board has ended.
We have 12 candidates for the board! Superb!
Now we are in the so called "Campaigning period" until the 29th
february. During this period the candidates are of course free to do
whatever they like :) but the following two activities have been used
earlier years and I hope that the candidates will participate in them:
1. Post a "campaigning statement" (or whatever) as an article on
http://people.squeakfoundation.org. People can then reply and ask
questions etc without drowning in squeak-dev. It also makes a nice
"persistent" record. Of course people can follow up on
squeak-dev too.
2. Answer the 10 questions we have cooked up for the candidates by a
post to squeak-dev:
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6029
That page is locked (only I can edit) so the idea is that the candidates
answer by writing a post to squeak-dev starting from today. All should
feel free to discuss on squeak-dev at length of course.
The initial posts (with the answers) will be collected by me ASAP and
filled in on the the Q&A page mentioned above so that all answers can be
seen in one place.
