Hi, I was going to wait until after ACEU had actually taken place, however by November I might have hung myself with a short length of piano wire so I thought I'd briefly suggest one possible action post event.
We need to have some kind of investigation into the planning aspect of this community conference. Having really enjoyed not only the on-site planning and running of ACNA 2011, Vancouver, I happily stepped up to be a helper/planner for ACEU. For the first time in my first year and a half relationship within the ASF this is the first time I'm actually finding myself getting slightly confused/annoyed with the consistent lack of attention to detail within planning. I am not trying to take anything away from those within the foundation who are trying their damn hardest to keep things moving, but I think for the benefit of the community some kind of analysis needs to be undertaken to see why, where and when things started going pear shaped. To close, I know this has been a concern for ConCom, Travel Assistance, board and others for some time and that this news is not new news... but for planners of this years ACEU who sit outside the aforementioned groups within the Foundation we also feel that the planning has been extremely haphazard and it will more than likely have an effect on potential long term planners returning for another future planning battle. I hope I've communicated my thoughts without offending anyone or any one group directly as this is not my intention, merely to try and improve the workflows we are using to build the ASF community.
