Hi All,
It's that time again. Time to raise your voices and elect your leaders! Can you believe it's been a year already?
It's a time for you to stand up, help your community and volunteer to serve!
Squeak wants you!
Every year we elect the SOB (Squeak Oversight Board) consisting of seven members from our community. The current board members are: 1. Vanessa Freudenberg 2. Tim Rowledge 3. Craig Latta 4. Marcel Taeumel 5. David T. Lewis 6. Tony Garnock-Jones 7. Bruce O'Neel
For more info on the board please see: https://squeakboard.wordpress.com/our-mission/
Everything about the election, including schedule and more, can be tracked here: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6659
Now until Friday 15th of April 2022, 18.00 UTC: Nominations of SOB members and campaigning!
Candidates should nominate themselves and start their campaign on the squeak-dev mailing list. Or if you nominate someone else, make sure that person really wants to run. :) I will not put anyone on the candidate list until that person makes it known on squeak-dev that he/she intends to run.
During this period, the candidates should ideally present themselves on squeak-dev, unless they have already done so, and the community can ask questions.
I encourage you to reach out to potential candidates, people that are active in the community and represent your views, and ask them to run. Some people will not run without encouragement. Also, I know that some people wait to the last minute to run for the board to see if others will run but please consider getting this year off to a faster start and just jump right in!
The schedule and process are as follows:
Now until Friday 15th of April 2022, 18.00 UTC: Nominations of SOB members and campaigning! Friday 15th of April 2021, 18.00 UTC: Candidate list is finalized. Friday 15th of April 2021, 19.00 UTC: Online election starts. Friday 30th of April 2021, 19.00 UTC: Online election ends. Results will be announced immediately after the election ends.
The voting period is two weeks long and ballots are sent out via email.
And how do you end up on the voter list? See below. :)
IMPORTANT: New voters will NOT be added once the election is started. You MUST try to get on the voter list before the 15th of April 2022 or you will NOT be able to vote. If your e-mail address has changed please try to make sure it is changed on the list of voters before the election starts.
--------------------------
If you were invited to vote last year you are already on the voter list, no worries! If you are a new Squeaker and wish to vote you should do ONE of the following:
* Get a "known" Squeaker to vouch for you. If a known Squeaker sends an email to voters (at) squeak.org giving me a name and email for you, then I will add you.
* Send an email to voters (at) squeak.org yourself (and CC to squeak-dev if you like) with information/arguments showing me that you are indeed serious about voting and that you are indeed a Squeaker.
When the voting period starts all voters will receive an email with instructions and a link to the voting website.
If there are any further questions, just reply *in this thread* and I will closely track it - or send email to voters (at) squeak.org which is updated and points to me.
...so let's get on with it!
All the best, Patrick
Hello all,
So I am happy to stand for election again.
I mostly work with VM stuff on odd linux systems. I have used Squeak since back when it came out on Mac OS 8 but am very far from a professional.
I am a bit like Peter though in that there are surely better people than I and those people should think of raising their hands.
cheers
bruce

I'm standing for the SOB again; I think everyone knows who I am and what I try to do by now.
Please, younger Squeakers - stand up and offer yourselves as sacrifices^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h candidates; we really need to reduce the average age.
tim -- tim Rowledge; tim@rowledge.org; http://www.rowledge.org/tim Madness takes its toll - please have exact change ready

I am running for the Squeak Oversight Board again this year.
I am a hobby programmer and long-time participant in the Squeak community. I have contributed to some of the technical aspects of Squeak, but I am most enthusiatic about using Squeak for learning and exploration.
Outside of my Squeak hobby, I do various kinds of software development and systems integration, and I get paid for doing that sort of thing. But that's just work stuff, Squeak is something that I do for fun.
As a board member, my priority is on supporting things that make Squeak more interesting, educational, and understandable from top to bottom. I also have an interest in keeping Squeak sustainable over time as various operating systems and runtime platforms come and go.
Dave
Hi all! :-)
I would like to continue serving on the Squeak Oversight Board in 2022!
I will continue keeping track of the big picture, which includes maintenance tasks in both the OpenSmalltalk VM and Squeak itself. In 2021, I managed to migrate the OSVM and Squeak-app from TravisCI to GitHub Actions. Since fall 2021, I have been working on (and managing) the Squeak 6.0 release, which includes tasks around high-resolution support, scaling, and font rendering.
Within all this progress, I cherish backwards compatibility and modularity (i.e., extensibility and readability). I want to retain the content we have while cleaning up and moving forward.
The next OSVM release is very close. Squeak 6.0 is lurking around the corner.
Happy Squeaking!

Hi all--
I'd like to continue serving on the Squeak board. I've been organizing the meetings, including the 25th anniversary community gathering last October. As a developer, I've continued the Caffeine project[1] using Vanessa's SqueakJS, with interesting results for music livecoding[2] and virtual reality development[3].
I'm looking forward to living more of the future we invent!
thanks, Craig
