The Final Push Before the Convention

We are having two remaining planning meetings before this falls JOFCon.

We're planning for one on Saturday, September 12th at 2:00 pm. And the last one September 27th at 2:00 pm Central.  These are both currently being planned at Michael Lee & Alicia LaMunion's house, and if you need address information please contact me.  We will likely also set up a Google Hangout for remote participation.

JOFCon June Electronic Meeting - June 1st, 7:00 PM Central

The next JOFCon Minneapolis 2015 meeting will be online, either with Google Hangout or Skype given the number of members and preferences of attendees.   The meeting will be at 7:00 PM Central.

The focus of this meeting will be around programming, but we'll talk about anything else as well related to the con.

March Update

Hi!

Plans are moving ahead for this year's JOFCon.

We are having an organizational meeting this Sunday, March 15th in the Minneapolis area.  If you're interested in attending, please contact me so I can share address information.  We're also looking at remote/online participation options.

Things are pretty quiet on a number of fronts, as we're still a few months until pre-registration cut off and people register for hotel rooms.  We're excited that we've had people sign up to fill out our committee, the feedback we received at Marscon last weekend, and Minicon coming up soon.

Donated memberships available through con-or-bust

We've donated two memberships to con-or-bust for fans-of-color to encourage racial and ethnic diversity in convention running.  We encourage you to apply if you're eligible.

Help Wanted!

We had one of our first organizational meetings earlier this month in Minneapolis, and as a result of that meeting I've created a list of our Convention Committee and available job descriptions.

If you're interested in helping, please get a hold of me.  Almost every position will need multiple volunteers, and there are positions that will be good for both for people based in the Twin Cities area as well as for people that are coming from out of town.  The convention committee list will also give you a good idea of some of the things that we have planned for the convention.

Thanks to all of you for your support!
