Please Consider Me for the 2009 Leadership Team
by Ken Causey 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

I would like you to consider voting for me in the March 1st, 2009 Leadership Team election. First if you believe that the Leadership Team should be responsible for driving this community, then I'm NOT your man. I believe that the Leadership Team should restrict itself and focus on those issues that can have only one solution. The community, you and I, have the responsibility for driving. The Leadership Team's responsibility is to help ensure there are no obstacles in our way and to arbitrate when necessary. About myself: I've been around in one capacity or another for about 7 years. Starting in 2003 I assisted in the server side aspects of the Bug Fix Archive Viewer version 2 with Brent Vukmer. In 2004 I tried to start a regular schedule of harvesting parties; it was fun for a while but never really caught on. My experiences with BFAV2 led to my advocating, along with others, for a transition to the use of Mantis. I started a team in March of 2005 to move open issues from BFAV2 to Mantis and we completed that work in August of the same year. We continued through February of 2006 to catch new reports sent to the squeak-dev mailing list and create reports on Mantis from them and later dissolved the team in that same month. On an informal basis many of us continued to move reports from the mailing list to Mantis past this date. I joined the Box-Admins team in early 2005 (With the founding? I can't remember.) and later became the team leader which I continue to be to this day. In September of 2005 the Coordinators (later the Board, now the Leadership Team) selected me to expand the size of the group and I served in that capacity until the first election was held in February 2006. I was not very happy with my time in the Coordinators for personal reasons and other reasons frankly that I don't really remember. I chose not to run in the election. Since that time I believe that the processes within the Leadership team have improved somewhat as well as my personal situation and I would like to give it another try. My primary goal would be to further improve the Leadership Team processes with a focus on transparency. I would like to serve as a combination Secretary and Treasurer. As secretary I would record all relevent information and regularly report back to the community. As treasurer I would not directly hold or control fund but would track our financial status and keep the community updated on that. This is getting a little long so I'll stop here. I may have more to say in a separate message after I have given it a little thought. Ken

Box-Admins Team Report for January, 2009
by Ken Causey 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

The box-admins team is reponsible for seeing that the community shared server is maintained and setting up any new features to be hosted on that server. For January, 2009: Nothing significant to report: the server continues to run smoothly and has now been up for 107 days. I've done some little things here and there but frankly it's a little hard to say sometimes what comes under the umbrella of the box-admins team and what doesn't. A list of things in January that may or may not count: assistance with directory permissions on FTP site; developing a new Mantis export mechanism for use with Installer and by the Release Team; planning/discussing future server(s)/hosting; moderating the Announcements mailing list; completion of the closure of Mantis issues harvested for 3.10; slight reconfiguraton of Mantis for the Release Team. I want to thank the community for the monetary support needed to fund the box and remind you that the bills continue to appear and that you can currently contribute to the hosting bills by going to http://www.squeak.org/Foundation/SupportSqueak/ and purchasing a Squeak badge. Note that a donation here may be used for other Squeak Foundation services including but not limited to development, development infrastructure, and promotion of Squeak. The services being hosted have continued to grow and include (but are not limited to): http://www.squeak.org/ SqueakMap - http://map.squeak.org/ http://ftp.squeak.org/ http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/ http://discuss.squeakfoundation.org/ http://source.squeakfoundation.org/ http://map.squeak.org/ https://svn.squeak.org/ http://update.squeakfoundation.org/ http://wiki.squeak.org/ http://bugs.squeak.org/ and DNS services for squeak.org and squeakfoundation.org domain names.

linux squeak 3.10.2
by Ralph Boland 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

I am currently using Squeak 3.8 and am quite happy with it except that when a debugging window comes up all other open windows are redrawn which can be very annoying especially since I tend to have a lot of windows open (many that I have just failed to close). I downloaded the most recent version of Linux which I assumed to be 3.10.2 but it was 3.10.1 instead. Is there are way to get Squeak 3.10.2 for Linux? If not, when will it be available? Will 3.10.1(2) fix my problems with window redrawing? The software I am writing involves implementing algorithms for building finite state machines from regular expressions. Thus I assume that there are no features in 3.10 that I really need for my work. Am I right? Thanks, Ralph Boland
