What?

[marykaykare]

Err. I got a bit busy doing some stuff I volunteered for at the recent Denvention meeting. It was programming stuff and I couldn't help noticing that there were a lot of people I'd ordinarily expect to see on programming who hadn't submitted a programming questionnaire. It isn't too late if you're one of those people. Or if you know someone who

This weekend is "programming fenzy weekend" for Denvention. It's here in Pittsburgh. Seriously. Mary is here, along with a couple of other people.

I found out Mary never got my Programming Questionnaire, so I recompleted it and sent it to her last night.

Program is compiling a list of people they haven't heard from and will E-mail them.

In the meantime, if you're planning to be at Denvention and you want to be on Program, fill out the form and someone from Program will get back to you.

One gotcha - you need to have your membership already. The Program Questionnaire even asks you for your membership number. You can locate your membership number at: https://www.denvention3.org/wcdb/member_main.php

(But Jim is doing Program Ops, and some of Mary's staff are East Coast, which is why the Program Meeting is here)

Laurie -- Did Mary get all the stuff I sent her yesterday? I sent all the lists I was compiling for her along with some random ideas.

Yes, she has it on her laptop and we will be looking at it this weekend.

(Just had lunch, currently working on an interesting panel that will involve Jordin (Ann Cecil is here and she has great ideas))

Oh, and the people I noticed MIA included tnh, pnh, Ellen Kushner, Delia Sherman, Ellen Datlow, Eileen Gunn (whom I talked to Thursday and who is coming), Gordon Van Gelder, Kathryn Cramer, Gardner Dozois, and John Scalzi.

I started to put together just that list last night, and our lists match about 80%.

Mary thinks that Ellen and Delia definitely aren't coming - do you know anything different? We have ideas for them if they are coming, but we haven't been developing them because we don't think they are.

[marykaykare]

I don't know, but I'll see them at Wiscon next weekend so I can ask. Or, I suppose, I could just, you know, go ahead and email them.

[lauriemann]

I could do that (or Jim could); Mary just sounded pretty sure that they were not coming. I'll double check in a bit.

[lauriemann]

OK, Mary just confirmed that Delia and Ellen are definitely not coming.

[marykaykare]

I already emailed them.

We've gotten program forms from both gentlemen. (And you if you were wondering.)
