Con: Version 25

Our first meeting will be held on November 30, 2008 at 12:00 noon at the Sentry Box, 1835 - 10 Avenue SW.  This meeting is open to all, and is scheduled to last only until 3PM.

 
Please note, this is an information meeting.  Bring your questions and we will do our best to answer them.  Bring your ideas and we will compile them.  The meeting will not hold on strict formalities, however there are basic points of etiquette we would like to see adhered to.  We will be using a "light" version of Robert's Rules to keep the meeting efficient.
 
Intelligent, constructive debate is encouraged.  Personal attacks on anyone will not be tolerated, whether the person is in attendance or not.
Please wait until you have everyone's attention before speaking, and do not interrupt those who are currently addressing those in attendance.
We will review Robert's "light" at the start of the meeting to ensure everyone is on the same page.
 
We are hoping there will be a few new announcements made at the meeting as well, but if you cannot make it you will be able to review the notes from it on the Con-Version forums later that evening.
 
We ask that you indicate your intention to attend by emailing info@con-version.org to ensure we have seating for all who will be there.
 
In the interim and until personnel are announced please be aware that the individuals to contact for anything official on behalf of either Con: Version or the Society are Rob Hilton and Laurie Lalonde.
 
Thank you

So, the new website is up. We're trying something a little different this time and using a proper CMS (content management system); in this instance, we're using Drupal. Feel free to browse the site and look through the modules and themes and make suggestions. I'm very definitely new at this type of web design, so I'm always open to suggestions and comments. Just use the webmaster@con-version.org to send them to us. I'd also really love it if someone wanted to help me theme the website, tweak the CSS or create a proper favicon.

The site is also definitely a bit buggy yet, so feel to send e-mails on problems you encounter. In particular, the PM system we're using for the forums is pretty experimental and the file upload system may be in need of a bit of tweaking. We're going to be rolling out features as quickly as we can over the next month or so as well as expanding on the information we have. There will be a new store on the website itself as well as a contact form, a volunteering form and a guest suggestion form. There's also a super-dooper-secret project that I can't say too much about until I've got at least some of it in place.

As a note, the old forums haven't been deleted. I'll be posting a link to them, but they are all locked and the PM system has been disabled.

Have fun and try not to break anything.

Rob
