1. Regarding having my blessing for Casey becoming the list manager for
the Squeak-dev mailing list: you have it.
This means a lot to me.
2. Regarding receiving the list administrator rights and passwords: If
the password Steve is using came from Cees I expect that means it has
been the same for a very long time now and it's probably a very good
time to change it. So I think to simplify matters (at least simplify
them for Steve) I will take the responsibility for changing the list
settings including setting a new password and getting it to Casey.
Ken, you're an angel.
Not me. I haven't shared my key with many. I'm going to roll a new pair for this. Unfortunately, I'm in a call with my ISP trying to suss out why I can't connect. It's a new machine, and I need to be able to download some PGP software before I can take the baton.
So as far as passing the baton from Steve to Casey, regarding the
technical details, I will take care of it. Do you mind Steve if we do
this sooner than 3 weeks from now if Casey is ready?
Steve has done something wonderful for a wonderful community. Let's speed him on his way toward whatever he wants to do next. As soon as I can resolve the stupid technical issue with my ISP, I want this weight off of his shoulders.
Ken, thanks for coming out to help make the transition smooth.
3. Regarding the SOB: I agree that the squeak-dev mailing list
administrator is within the purview of the box-admins team. That said,
I think it's worth at least notifying the SOB that a change has
occurred. Again, I will take care of that.
It's probably the better idea to let small teams manage themselves in the longer term. For various reasons though, I felt compelled to seek a good deal of validation that I should do this before agreeing to serve in the long term.
I seem to be finding it.
Ken
Onward and Upward,
- Casey
P.S. Ken I'll let you know as soon as my Internet connection is working again.

These are valid concerns. Having them is responsible, Göran. I don't think I should take this role without some consensus, in spite of my own desire to do it.
I still give you the benefit of the doubt so to speak. We all make mistakes.
This is very kind of you.
So fine by me. Although I would like Ken to agree too.
Ken's blessing would give me a good deal of confidence, but the Board should make the decision. I'm offering to do it in the interim, and afterwards if asked.
regards, Göran
Thank you.
Casey
