Archive Site: Millennium Philcon Program Division - May 27, 2000Issues raised at the meeting are marked like this. People attending: Laurie & Jim Mann, Timons Esaias, Mary Tabasko, John Schmid, Christina Schulman and JJ Walton
Division Management: Issues to Discuss What’s happened so far We briefly reviewed some of the convention planning status. What we expect to happen in the future Overview of the timeline. Laurie and Christina engaged in some database and Web neepery - both Christina and John have the technical expertise to write a script-to-database program that should make idea management and program questionnaire management much easier. Also, we strongly encouraged people to come to Philly for the mega-area meeting, planned for 9/22-9/24. Maps and facilities (showed maps and discussed the facilities generally) Job definitions and appointments We reviewed the list of people appointed so far, and the areas under the Programming Division. Christina Schulman asked to oversee the Publishing area, so we added that to the list. Jim pointed out that Literary Teas should be under KaffeeKlatches (though Literary Beers are a separate item), and that Hank Smith is overseeing the Science area. Other sub-areas ("not tracks") include Fantasy and Game Shows. Long time fan Kevin Riley and local writer Timons Esaias ("The Outsider") have joined the local program staff. We asked the Columbia University students we'd met at the Nebulas to be staff as well. The one whose E-mail address we had said he doesn't think he'll be at the Worldcon, but he promised to pass along the word to his friends.
Local meetings:
Meetings should be monthly beginning in October Since it's not clear when future meetings in Philadelphia will be, we didn't want to even set any other tentative dates yet, except that the "Program Frenzy" will probably be the first weekend of May, 2001 (May 5-6).
