Re: [AGA-sc] Phil

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

I think he's just asking for some support from folks on the advisory 
committee to join in on the form that WE ARE PAYING TO SPONSOR (which I am 
not sure I agree with, but I don't have the time to really check details 
of).  Forums don't work by throwing money at them, they work by having 
people there.

I don't think he's directing it specifically at Karen, nor do I think he's 
saying we all should be participating in every forum out there, just 
saying it'd be nice if the bunch of us would show up on these two forums.

Of course I resent the fact that the AGA Board is perceived to be 
cliquish, because it reinforces the attitude.  Sometimes it seems that no 
matter what I or others do to try and combat it, there's just no way 
around it (reference many decisions we've had to make in the past five 
years, such as "official photographer", "forum proposals", "SFBAAPS and 
the AGA 2005 convention").  It's almost like, one either makes a decision 
that paints the board in an elitist light, or one makes a crappy waffly 
decision.

It sucks that because most of the folks don't *like* forums others 
perceive this as "we're too good for forums".  Whatever.

desparately trying to get the photo rendering algorithm working again for 
the contest.)
