Programming deadline reminder

[quadong]

We have a great list of possible panels for Minicon 50! Thank you to everyone who has already volunteered for programming. We could still use some more volunteers, so we have extended the deadline for panelists to February 1st.

If you are interested in being on panels, please check out the list on our programming page. Send an email to

Is it too late to submit panel ideas? Is this a list of panels that are actually happening or just the brainstorming list?

There aren't any panels about television which seems wrong. (And yeah, I know I know if I want things to happen I should suggest ideas and volunteer, but I haven't gotten around to it yet-- thus my question.)

The panel suggestion deadline was Dec 1. You can always *try* to still suggest a panel, of course, but Deanna might reasonably not take it at this point.

The list on the wiki is not the list of panels that will definitely happen, but the ones that we are accepting volunteers for.

You may want to clarify this somewhere, I've seen people commenting privately that the programming slate for this year looks really weak, including some saying they may not attend based on this info.

It's all spelled out in PR3 and at http://mnstf.org/minicon50/programming . The deadlines were announced in PR1 and PR2 as well.

I'm not sure how else to communicate this more clearly without a spam campaign. If people for whom programming is a top con priority won't even read the progress reports' sections about it, I'm out of ideas.
