Howdy, hakkers! Remember this thing?
http://synhak.org/wiki/Speakers_Bureau When we started the bureau, I was the de facto head and handled: * Finding speakers * Scheduling speakers * Making sure the speakers are well accomodated * Running PR for speakers Some time ago, I believe as early as April, Xander stepped up and started to take charge of things. I really don't remember any announcement about it other than some in-person discussions, but I was quite happy to have one fewer responsibility at the space. Last week was the first wednesday slot I can remember where we didn't have anything scheduled. Previously, we had so many classes booked that there was a four month wait to get in. Sounds like much, but isn't really since we only do it twice a month. We discussed this at last night's meeting as well (phong not reporting minutes is another topic...), and the general consensus seems to be that nobody is actually running it anymore. If anyone is, there is absolutely no visibility as to what is going on. For such a core component of SYNHAK's mission to educate, I think it would Not Be Excellent for this situation to continue. I'm stepping up and taking over unless there are objections to that. If someone else can contribute the 1-2 hours a week needed for organizing things, please let me know here on discuss@. If you want to get involved with getting the bureau running again and *keeping* it running, please also let me know here on discuss@. If I don't hear from anyone by tomorrow afternoon, I'll start devising some self-sustaining mechanisms for the bureau's future along with scheduling new classes. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://synhak.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
