-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All,
Earlier this year we had a big push to get shows and the queue was never as healthy. Unfortunately that has the effect of taking the pressure off and so we now have had a period of 25 days since the last show was uploaded. There are still 13 days until we start to have real problems but I want to avoid a all out call for "HPR needs shows now". Those types of campaigns are useful in getting in shows to keep the network going in the short term, and in promoting HPR. But in the end they cause as much harm as they do good. Once the immediate need for shows is met, the flood that follows fills up the queue so much that everyone walks away thinking "well that's fixed". Time marches on and then we have no submissions and a month later we need to start begging again. I would like to have suggestions on how to break this boom to bust cycle of show submissions. We need to see a steady trickle of shows where there is equilibrium between the supply and demand. Those with an insight into the theory of the problem are encouraged to submit a show on the topic. I need the people on this list to start recording some shows for uploading in the next week or two to meet the immediate need. However please do not put out a call for shows. What we need is a call for new hosts and/or new series, and/or new ideas for how we can get a nice steady stream so that supply meets demand. - -- Regards, Ken Fallon http://kenfallon.com http://hackerpublicradio.org/correspondents.php?hostid=30 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUGwkhAAoJECO2jUN3MRFp3F0P/2p6xQICVPmgXXKXsxDsMGG1 uspVT+MF5N7tKbqQIp/O1hg9VutaJk9uL21D7OZrxBwuJLCsqFd4k9NJZkvvLyD9 +xn+1V4NGM9poU8PjNP7vDREeXdh49i7eIIOEPfnvDd0YzusfcIfI71jKy8ecYnR Tt3x+8XOT1huUyHRTrScdMFJ6XHHk2ZxIwSEX5YVhUOKkH45q5VtAJ2G0fEzCQGd ZD0auNDWn37hwbKQ91uBrV3XOr1uBmuyALmQxwnDEZwCfnyRS6Fg0rJ0ChuPmK8F DGVGFeXarAkBAIN1KczyrGkLpfBwMZfj39Illq3gYj6THVz8ZDiZIE36z8gFRINd G9wPVdThB4CmoJkdHoXciruJT/p46/XJrNq0u97lYxroHybwlwJvl7DI3BWeakht 740oE58lrzlxd+A7kqBK5x6EQ2YKYI6iXl59irqF6zBiJA2cwFUVzXWsxnYdkN2K sZhzdPFHfZYlggxCei8ttdiGPiACVX00mjFwhAtYNXy7lpGt/rWpjhrIrQM3Ap2Q NEYwIsQtOoEAYZBxXDBlcfu+iF4dJPP3WEd17SOC5SrETKtcpX9ykOotXfpZiku5 BHXxlKZLJbTszAqCBG5n2IldyoFg1hO0Th3YU0ckQWy8xRVbFeKpfBB2sap2gY2r 2eT0xZ54cn3hPOXHe6Bg =VsB4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Hpr mailing list [email protected] http://hackerpublicradio.org/mailman/listinfo/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org
