The last year has been a real privilege for me to get to practice my
stewardship of Squeak. I would like to re-up.
I haven't seen any other candidacy announcements. Anyone nervous
about running due to concerns about time or homework, I'd just like to
say, being on the board has not been a lot of work. Basically we just
meet twice per month in a Teleplace meeting room at a time that is
good for everyone. Even then, we often operate with 1 or 2 missing
persons; we're volunteers.
The plus-side is the opportunity to converse with others who share an
interest in Squeak, syncronously rather than just through e-mail.
It's a good mindshare which can be practical for brainstorming ideas
quickly.
Even if I am the only candidate to vote for, there is no guarantee
that I would win the Supreme Ruler throne since I would still have to
beat out the "nobody" candidate - that's pretty scary. :)
I will not have e-mail access starting tomorrow night until April 3rd,
which is voting day! So I'm afraid my campaign must conclude here.
If there will be a Squeak board for 2011, I'm running for it.

Fellow Squeakers,
Approximately one year has passed (cough, cough) and it is high time for yet
another Squeak Oversight Board Election!
Every year we elect the SOB (Squeak Oversight Board) consisting of seven
? ? ? ?http://www.squeak.org/Foundation/Board
Everything about the election, including schedule and more, can be tracked
? ? http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6162
Since the election process has not been reformed during this last year, the
schedule and process of the Election is as "usual" which follows (reserved
*** Now through 27th March: 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 does run.
*** 27th March: The candidate list is finalized.
*** 27th March to 3rd April: Continued campaigning period
During this period, the candidates should ideally present themselves on
squeak-dev, unless they have already done so, and the community can ask
questions.
*** 3rd April 6PM (18.00 UTC): Online election starts
The voting period is one week 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 3rd April or you will NOT be
able to vote.
*** 10th April 6PM (18.00 UTC): Online election ends
Results will be announced immediately when the election ends.

If you were invited to vote last year you are already on the voter list, no
? ? * Get a "known" Squeaker to vouch for you. If a known Squeaker
sends an email to voters at squeak.org giving me 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. And no, I don't
have any hints on what you should write! :) Unless you totally screw that
up, you will probably be added.
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 points
to me.
...so let's get on with it!
regards, G?ran Krampe
