Hello everyone,
Our deadline for announcing your candidacy to the Squeak Foundation Board has passed, which means we have a final list of 12 candidates. They are:
Cees de Groot
Tim Rowledge
Bert Freudenberg
Craig Latta
Stéphane Ducasse
Giovanni Corriga
Keith Hodges
Andrew P. Black
Todd Blanchard
Yoshiki Ohshima
Tansel Ersavas
Brad Fuller
We have a short time to find out more about these candidates before the election. I will be sending the same questions to each candidate and will publish a final article on http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/ . I will post a link here when the article is finished. The answers will be published in the order that I receive them back. Which could mean you should start reading at the bottom!
In the mean time I encourage people to support your favorite candidate! Please post a recommendation for your favorite candidate, include details about that candidate that people may not know. It is sometimes difficult for people to talk about themselves so I encourage you to help. I say support your favorite candidate and not a group of candidates for a reason. Many people support all the candidates and feel that if they post something about someone they need to post something about everyone. So let's take posts about someone as a positive thing and not a vote against others. Help us learn about the people running by sharing what you know about them.
If you support a foundation platform now is a good time for you to tell us that. Submit your ideas and let candidates comment about your platform suggestions on-list. The more we can make this an open discussion the better.
Remember voting starts on March 3rd, 2007.
Thank you everyone for participating!
