Hello Ron and elections team,
sorry this should go to the list.
RT> You are only eligible to vote for the Squeak Foundation Board RT> 2007 ifyou have a certified squeakPeople account. as the iirc vast majority of squeak dev subscribers didn't vote last time you might want to look into more exotic reasons for not voting.
My reason not to vote is that I'm sensitive to labels tacked onto me. The only SqPeople status I'm comfortable with is Observer. The possibility of anybody sticking one of the other labels (including master) at me keeps me from having an account there.
I would not mind a voter certification saying "enough certified squeakers trust this one enough to let him vote for SQF Board".
Others might have different reasons, including "to complicated (embarrsing if not) to get certified". Programmers *are* strange at times. (me being always strange :-)
Just my 2c and I'm happy enough not voting.
Cheers
