If you are considering stepping up and running for the Squeak Oversight Board now is the time. Please announce your candidacy now. Voting will start next week! We have 6 candidates for 7 board seats. Craig Latta Tim Rowledge Marcel Taeumel Bert Freudenberg David T. Lewis Ben Coman As a reminder when you vote you will select the candidates by placing them the order you want them ranking them first to last and placing None of the below above candidates you don't want to see elected. None of the below has never been elected and this is a great group of candidates so I don't expect that to be an issue. If we don't get 7 elected board members we will seat the highest odd number which means that if we stay with 6 candidates only 5 will get elected. Please reach out to people you would like to see on the Board and get them to run. Thanks!
