Hi all--

      I'd be happy to serve on the Squeak board again this year.

      I'm excited about the work/play I've been doing[1] with several 
Smalltalks using Vanessa Freudenberg's SqueakJS virtual machine, and 
with WebAssembly. I'd like to explore the frontiers of polyglot 
livecoding with you all. :)  In particular, I think there are 
fascinating and impactful new things we can do with Squeak on the Web 
platform.

      It would be fun to gather in real-time more often. I enjoyed the 
rolling video call I organized for Squeak's 25th birthday, even with the 
timezone challenges. Maybe, with the help of other groups, we can start 
a ritual of a Squeak breakout room after their main calls. I'd be happy 
to do that with the California Smalltalkers group[2]. Perhaps we could 
get the UK Smalltalk Users Group interested in post-meeting breakout 
rooms, too, in addition to our Discord and Slack channels.

      You can read a bit about my Smalltalk life at [3]. I've been part 
of the Squeak community since the beginning, and I'm very grateful!


      thanks again,
      Craig
