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:
