Question re: Can-Con and Facebook
Nov. 25th, 2010 11:21 amI've got a question for those of you with Facebook accounts. It may take a little while to get to the point, so please bear with me.
Some of you already know I'm currently serving as a "design consultant" to the organizing committee for next year's edition of Ottawa's main science fiction convention, Can-Con, which means I'll be doing flyers, posters, badges, t-shirts and so on for the convention as the needs of the run-up to the convention date continue to evolve between now and the currently-expected convention weekend of September 9-11, 2011(subject to change).
I've been added to the Facebook group for the convention organization as a whole and with that come new privileges, if you can call them that.
Previously, you could invite others with FB accounts to join a group you're part of, and they could refuse/ignore the invite. FB now has the group-joining process re-jigged to ensure that you have to actively leave the group to avoid being part of it. At least, that's what it looks like at the moment.
So...seeing as I'd rather not force people to back out after the fact as that leaves egg on both our faces(but mine deserving the egging far more), I'm asking those of you with FB accounts following my LJ right now: do you want to be added to Can-Con's Facebook group?
Joining the FB group will NOT commit you to attending the convention. I know of a few reasons why a number of you either cannot or will not attend this, and I'm okay with that. So are the organizing committee as a whole. I just want to know who's interested in keeping an eye on us right now, keeping the future in mind.
Which is one good point of a science-fiction convention in the first place.
Hoping to hear from you, either here or on FB or in e-mail.
