Hi All,
There is only 15 or so days left to announce that you are running for the Squeak Borad. First thank you everyone that has served. It is a great benefit to our community to have such great people volenteer their time to help! This is also a great way for you to support your Squeak community!
Right now we have only 4 people running for 7 board seats. And one of those doens't want to be elected!
It's time to step up! If you are going to run please announce soon. Also if you know someone that you think should run, please reach out to them and ask them to run. Some people will not run without encouragement.
Thank you!
Ron Teitelbaum

Please, please, think about running. This entire thing only works when people get together to do something. The board isn't some super-secret-old-farts-only shadow conspiracy (they are in the meeting room three doors down, you'll need a password), it's just a group trying to keep things moving, keep the website going, organise releases, come up with ideas to improve the Squeak world and so on. Anyone that makes some use of Squeak is qualified to join in; everyone that makes any use of Squeak should consider it.
Please, won't somebody think of the children?

And speaking of thinking of the children.
It would be great if people young enough to be children of some of the current members ran. You are younger than 40? Guess what you qualify!
And while we are at it a touch more diversity would not go amiss.

Damn right
