I would like that as well. I missed the election, just like with last
year.
We are a global community of volunteers. A lot of us have limited and
irregular time to contribute to Squeak.
As a point of comparison, here is Debian's timeline this year for
electing a project leader:
Nomination period: Feb 4th - Feb 25th (3 weeks)
Campaigning period: Feb 25th - Mar 18th (3 weeks)
Voting period: Mar 18th - Apr 8th (3 weeks)
Incidentally, I received no email at all. I guess I must be
registered incorrectly somewhere.
