Welcome New Elections Leader - Time to organize
by Ron Teitelbaum 01 Feb '08

Hi Göran and the Elections Team, Well I do hope that the resounding silence doesnt put you off any. A big welcome Göran from me as our new leader! And welcome everyone to a new squeak election. We had a very difficult time last year getting anyone to discuss anything about the election. I have to say I did expect more reaction to the change. I suppose it is time to come up with a schedule. Last year we decided to have a nomination period, a campaigning period and then a voting period. We have been asked to extend the voting period of 3 days because some people didn't check their email before voting closed. Also we had a very difficult time getting people to step up and nominate themselves for the board. The period between nominations and voting was almost completely silent except for my attempt to get candidates to answer questions; I would consider that effort to not be worth the time. Some never answered any questions. And very few questions were submitted by the community. So I guess my suggestion would be a longer nomination period and voting period and a shorter campaigning period. But overall it would be nice if we could still wrap it all up in just over a month. What do you think? Ron Teitelbaum Squeak Elections Team Member

Hi all, I thought I'd send out a reminder about the Squeak Foundation Board Elections.

Please make sure you have access to your squeak people account, check that you included your name and that the supplied email is correct. If you need help accessing your account please let me know. You will need access to the email supplied to receive a ballot. If you have not signed up for a squeak people account and you would like to vote in the election please sign up and then encourage people you know to certify you. Only Squeak People members that have a certification of Apprentice or higher have supplied a real name and a valid email will receive a ballot to vote in the election. This is only a reminder about Squeak People. We have not set the voting schedule. Please stay informed, get involved in the upcoming election and remember to please vote. Also I'd like to express our thanks to Ken Causey for helping us get the tools we needed to better run the election this year. Thanks Ken! Happy Squeaking, Ron Teitelbaum Squeak Elections Team Member
