Squeak Foundation Board 2008 Election
Last updated at 6:34 pm UTC on 8 March 2008
Election leader 2008: Göran Krampe
The election is over
For this year we had 437 authorized voters of which 178 voted, that is slightly more than 40% voting - a bit disappointing IMHO since we had 157 voting of 347 last year which gives above 45%. On the other hand 178 is more than 157, so we had more voters and thus agrowing community, which of course is the most important aspect!
Below is the board for the following year, the order reflects the ranking from the election:
- Dan Ingalls
- Craig Latta
- Bert Freudenberg
- Yoshiki Ohshima
- Tim Rowledge
- Randal L. Schwartz
- Igor Stasenko
And thus the candidates left out are the following (also in ranked order):
- Giovanni Corriga
- Edgar J. De Cleene
- Andrew P. Black
- Matthew Fulmer
- Tansel Ersavas
You can also view the excrutiating details from the election.
Some candidates have presented themselves with an article on SqP. We had also cooked up 11 questions for the candidates to answer, which most of them have.
