SHHHHSSSSSHH! dont use my real name! my identity must remain a mystery just like spiderman!
ahem... if it turns out that nobody but nobody wishes to do it next year then i will do it. providing of course i am around and involved in such things.
yes i think that having one person take charge is the best way. saying that i think it would work to have some discussion on 'form' of the event.
the details should be left to one person, but there is room to discuss the shape, colour, feel etc of it all. IMHO
its a community thing which makes any discussion difficult, but we would i think, want someone to 'play well' with it if they took charge. i only did this after all because the servers went down and time became short.
should be vote in some way on a 'proposal' put forth but folk, or do we wait for the first bold person to stagger forward?
do we want a manager or an artistic director? both have merit and both have different methods too. i for one prefer the artistic director, but that just me.
from discussion with others during the early stages i know others would like a more formal route through.
theres my 2cents - one person should be in charge. some discussion on the 'general' direction.
however - how do we pick the person if two folk want to do it?
