Add Dan

Hi Göran, Can you add Dans name to the list of questions? Maybe Monday would be a good day to encourage candidates to answer questions. We should set up a test election; we need the wording of emails that goes out. This is what we had last year: Squeak Foundation Board Elections 2007 The 7 highest rated candidates from the list will comprise the Squeak Foundation Board starting from the end of voting, and for a year. Remember that your vote is considered as a ranking of all candidates. The virtual candidate "None Of The Above" should only be ranked over candidates that you would prefer not to see in the Board at all. Some of the candidates have posted information about themselves and their candidacy on the squeak-dev list or other places. The official 2007 elections site includes some information, and is at: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5920 (note in case of a tie: final Results will follow The Condorcet completion rule: CIVS Ranked Pairs) What do you think, should we change anything besides the link and the date?

[Election 2008] Campaigning period is on!
by goran＠krampe.se 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

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. All details of the Election can be found at: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6025 regards, Göran (Election leader) PS. In order to vote - be sure to confirm that you have an account on http://people.squeakfoundation.org and that your email address is up to date. If you are not already registered on the site do so as soon as possible. Include information about your participation in the Squeak community to aid everyone in determining your appropriate certification. If you have misplaced your people.squeakfoundation.org password there is a link on the login page to allow you to reset it. When the voting period starts all voters will receive an email with instructions and a link to the voting website.

[Election 2008] Nominations end tomorrow! Final call...
by goran＠krampe.se 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hi all! The nomination period for this years election of the Squeak Foundation board WILL END tomorrow, on the 22nd february, hey, let's say at 23:59:59 UTC to be precise. :) So it is high time to speak up unless you already have done so! We have 11 candidates so far: Bert Freudenberg (serving on the board currently) Yoshiki Ohshima (serving on the board currently) Craig Latta (serving on the board currently) Tim Rowledge (serving on the board currently) Andrew P. Black (serving on the board currently) Matthew Fulmer Igor Stasenko Tansel Ersavas Giovanni Corriga Edgar J. De Cleene Randal L. Schwartz Having met 5 in person, worked with 2, chatted regularly with another 2 and of course corresponded quite a bit with the rest - my take is that we have a really good and strong lineup this year! All details and status for the election can be tracked at: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6025 The next phase is the campaigning period. During this period the candidates should ideally present themselves with an article on SqP and the community can ask questions, either there or in followup discussions on squeak-dev. I also urge you all to look at the 10 questions we have cooked up for the candidates and if you feel some important question is missing - email me in private and I will (if I think it is a good thing) put it in the last 5 "open slots". First 5 served, then it is full! Deadline for sending me extra questions is the 24th. Candidates will answer (or not!) the questions from the 25th and onward by posting to squeak-dev. Feel free to discuss at length of course, the posts from the candidates will be added by me to the Q&A page so that all answers can be seen in one place. IMPORTANT: In order to vote - be sure to confirm that you have an account on http://people.squeakfoundation.org and that your email address is up to date. If you are not already registered on the site do so as soon as possible.

Randal, I've read a number of your posts and consider you to be a very active member of our community. I would think that you would be considered a very serious candidate for the board.

More Election nominations please!
by goran＠krampe.se 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Hi all! I am getting stressed out here, please don't do this to me! :) We only have 3 more days until the nomination period is over and only 5 candidates so far - and only already sitting candidates too! It is high time to step up to the plate fellas! Remember: - The board is still very non formal, how it operates and which role it takes is very much up to itself and its members! So don't think you don't fit because of how it has been operating until now. - The current board members are all "old timers", but that is just a very good reason to make a difference! Details: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6025 regards, Göran PS. IMPORTANT: In order to vote - be sure to confirm that you have an account on people.squeakfoundation.org and that your email address is up to date. If you are not already registered on the site do so as soon as possible. Include information about your participation in the Squeak community to aid everyone in determining your appropriate certification.
