Death to Spammers [Jan. 24th, 2011|10:55 am]

kevin_standlee
We got some spam this morning. I killed the post and changed the community settings to moderated membership; that is, one of the community moderators has to approve membership requests. Also note that by default all posts to this community are members-only, and as far as I know, that means that if you want anyone to be able to read it, you have to first post it and then edit the post to change the status to Everyone.

London in 2014

Pacific Northwest (not necessarily Seattle) in 2015

Kansas City in 2016

Nippon in 2017 (or later)

2020 Worldcon Bids — you probably knew about New Zealand, but you should watch this video to see the declaration of a new bid for a place "with no organized fandom."

Seated Worldcon Videoa [Dec. 13th, 2010|10:01 pm]

kevin_standlee
More videos from the Fannish Inquisition:

Renovation (2011 Worldcon)

Chicon 7 (2012 Worldcon)

Because the SMOFCon Site Selection was contested, almost half of the total time allocated for the Inquisition was taken up with SMOFCon business, leaving only an hour to deal with two seated Worldcons and a series of Worldcon bids from 2013 through 2020.

Several people have asked if we'll have a way for people to display presentations at the convention. We've arranged for a data projector and screen for this purpose. At the moment, we have no technical details for what type of computer data projector it is.
