Panel Submissions

[revolutionaryjo]

So we gotta have some panels, right? Good news! You can now submit your ideas by going to:

THIS AMAZING FORM!

Panel submissions will remain open until 11:59pm CST on September 10, 2016.

A few things to keep in mind when submitting your panel idea:

• We'll try to fit everyone in, but be aware that we are working within a limited amount of time and space.


• If you're willing to run it, it's more likely to make the final schedule.


• If you're not willing to run the panel, but you can talk someone or someones into it, have them get in touch with us to commit to it before the deadline. If we know there's someone to run it, it's more likely to make the cut.


• You can submit more than one idea! If you favor one over others though, let us know.

Some more relevant info:

• Panels will be 45 minutes each.


• We're going to procure a screen, projector, and speakers for the panel room, but you'll have to provide your own laptop or other device to connect up to it. We're decidedly low tech, so don't assume we have the right cord to hook your device up. Bring it with you if you got it. VGA and HDMI are the safest options for most projectors.


• You can submit discussion panel ideas as well as formal demos.

Any questions, just let us know!

As that Epic Podfic Big Bang will be ramping up I'd love to run something about that. Thoughts include: a panel on Long Podfic and how to manage long/complicated projects, a GSD time (not a panel necessarily just an official time to come and hang out, get encouragement, and work on podfic), or both, or something else themed around Podfic Big Bang/Long Projects. I'd 100% be willing to run/mod/make these happen.

Go ahead and submit the panel idea via the form in this post whenever you're ready! I'm thinking the GSD session would be best organized sort of like a room party would be, except substitute someone's room with the common/couches area. So I'd suggest picking a time that works best and making a post to the comm letting people know when you were thinking of doing it so they can gather if they want to participate. Whether you want to do that before or after we get the panel schedule together is your call. Sound good?
