Right before I posted the instructions to the squeak-dev list, I emailed the stakeholders listed on http://swiki.krampe.se/castaways/9
Andreas has announced the election to the Croquet/Tweak folks. He's asked interested Croquet/Tweak folks to sign up on SqP.
John Maloney said he didn't think the Scratch community would be interested in voting.
Yoshiki is standing as a candidate and Masashi is on the Election Team, so I'm hopeful that the message is getting out to the Japanese Squeakers, although I don't know that for sure.
I haven't heard from the other stakeholders.
