We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!
Um, I am deeply stupid today.
That's the proposal for the thread, and I will also put in the second vote on whether Buffistas businesses can be added to the Buffitas affiliates link.
So, do I just make a post on Press?
And votes on issue #1 Business thread and #2 Affiliate Listing all go to laga's profile addy?
Did you send Jon the official language for the vote, Erin? He puts it up in Press, as far as I know.
I was checking in with everyone first! I will do so now.
ETA: Ok, insent to Jon.
I'm here! Sorry, I haven't been around since early this morning. I've got a few worky things to get to but I'll set up the ballot in the next couple of hours.
fwiw, I think the original quote is, "you have reached ritual sacrifice. For goats, press 1" but I like the Firefly quote better.
Yeah, I'm borderline-squeamish about the goats in either wording -- but more importantly, the Firefly one satisfies the "holy crap I made a bizness!" part of me, whereas the Angel one feels more like big bureaucracy. Not necessarily our bureaucracy.
Thanks, Jon!

Thanks, I appreciate it. I know I'm a wuss but I also hate to ask people to change things they like because of my wussiness.
This thread is reopened to discuss the following proposal by Pix. It is a revisit of a former vote which failed to meet quorum. It has passed its six month moratorium and therefore is eligible for reconsideration.
Proposal:
To give people time to plan ahead and get the best rates on traveling, October will be our official persuade-n-post phase for the coming year's F2F. During each October, people may propose a location in the appropriate region of the country based on our normal rotation, sell us its fine qualities, research possible venues for hotel rooms/prom (preferably the same venue for both or within walking distance), and suggest up to two possible dates in spring/summer for our official annual F2F. The date(s) for each location are completely up to the proposer’s discretion.
At the beginning of November, we will vote on the proposed location/date combo. If the proposer offered more than one possible date, we will hold a second vote to pick a final date for the winner. Once the date and venue has been set, the proposer/organizer will book the hotel so we can begin the process of raising the necessary money and making necessary investments in tickets, corsets, and sparkly tiaras.
Since we have already missed this deadline for the 2012 F2F, this year we will propose locations from October 15-November 15 and vote right after that (this will avoid the holiday/finals issue, I hope).
