Just Pointing Out...

The last few cons have had a programme made almost entirely by suggestions submitted by the public, with the panels that appeared being almost exclusively the ones where volunteers being on them.

Yes, we could probably change the ratios, but we need more volunteers. This does not mean the same old tired people on more panels. That is a path that leads only to darkness.

So if you don't like the makeup of the programme, go round up more volunteers and make them volunteer! Stack the deck. Spoil the programmer for choice. Then (and only then) can you bitch that *insert fanboi preference of the week* doesn't happen enough in the programme.

Agreed 100%. I did this with 2 of my panels this year, and intend to keep on doing it for future cons. It's the best way to go about it.
