The elected Squeak leadership

     The Squeak project is run by volunteers, organized into teams. One of them, the leadership team, is elected annually by the community. It provides a legal, administrative and logistical home for the Squeak community.

What is it doing?

• building a legal presence - currently by working with the Software Freedom Law Center as part of their Conservancy;
• providing the network services that support the various mailing lists and repositories that in turn make a community possible;
• helping coordinate the various interest groups and projects being pursued by Squeakers;
• making decisions where there is no clear community consensus.

How is it run?

     The team has seven members who meet online on first and third Wednesdays. They post meeting notes to the squeak-dev mailing list, and encourage the community to use those notes as a starting point for discussion.

How can I help?

• Volunteer to lead, assist, review, test - anything that needs doing in any software project also needs doing for Squeak. Take a look at the current list of teams to see if you are interested in joining one. Propose a new team if you see the need;
• Look through the Mantis Database of bugs and see if you can help with solving problems;
• Donate money - we need funds to pay for the servers and bandwidth and eventually to provide prizes, bounties, stipends, bursaries and maybe one day even salaries.
