- 08:30 @dichro Hahahaha! why am I NOT surprised... #
- 09:34 @linstarlin You are indeed :-) #
- 10:55 @angriest silly question, but why would we want to? Swancon is slowly growing anyway. The last few cons have reversed the ageing. #
- 12:15 @prkaye have we got any "hard" numbers of a decline? My understanding is that we've had an upward climb for something like 5 years... #
- 12:23 @prkaye I suspect we're all blowing in the wind until we get hard data from WASFF. #
- 13:22 QOTD: So on the plus side it's a genuine base-load supplying solar power option, but on the minus side it's a death ray. (Charles Stross) #
- 13:35 @strangedave The Hypnotoad is almighty. The Hypnotoad is all powerful... #
- 14:31 @angriest I think it's as big as it's gonna get without going commercial. I don't think we can run a bigger convention. #
- 14:35 @angriest why can't it be both? Is bigger actually better? or even more representative? I don't get WHY it has to grow. #
- 14:37 @strangedave are they in comparable cities? Swancon is borderline too big to run from the talent pool. (Witness Kencon and the like) #
- 14:44 @strangedave I was thinking in population. If not then there cannot be a comparison, can there? #
- 14:47 @strangedave @angriest you realise this SHOULD be a Swancon panel? part of the problem I see is we are 3 WMOP. Who are we to decide? #
- 14:49 @strangedave we burn through committee members far too much already. The pool is smaller than you think. #
- 15:20 @erikapearson O_o Ewwww! #
- 15:34 @prkaye my thoughts would be: @linstarlin, @Krasnostein would have to be there as current and future ConCom. #
- 15:48 @strangedave if there is a better system, why aren't we using it yet? It's limited by the volunteer base. Even good ConComs eat souls. #
- 15:58 @strangedave this is why it needs to be a panel ;-) It would, however, disappoint me if the panel was exclusively "Old Guard" fans. #
- 16:16 @strangedave You are pointing out the problem. I agree with you. Any idea of a solution? Handover Dinner? Some sort of Mentoring of key ppl? #
