I'd like to stand again.  My priorities for the community are

- to continue improving the VM
  - with Spur, the new memory manager, that will be the VM for the Squeak
5.0 release
  - with a full 64-bit x64 JIT VM, and with an ARM JIT.
  - with Sista, Clément Bera's adaptive optimizer
  - with a new FFI that will use Ronie Salgado's Lowcode that is an
important component in Sista

- to continue to foster collaboration with the Pharo community

- to keep Squeak relevant, doing whatever I can to support existing
users/programmers, or to bring in new users/programmers

-- 
best,
Eliot
