[penguicon-general] registration, bof, and the changes needed to get there

[Matt Arnold]

Garry,

I'll CC this to our new head of Gaming, Sean Klein, and you can
arrange your event with him.

We currently haven't had discussions, to my knowledge, with the heads
of 2007 tracks about whether they will stay on in those positions, do
something else, or what. But if you talk to them you probably wouldn't
go too far wrong. They are Computers (Aaron Thul), Music (Lady Sarah),
Literature (M Keaton, Freon), Costuming (Freon, Kendra Duane), Food
(Chuck Child), On Stage (Cynthia Rossi).

In addition to Minister of Communications I'll be the head of
Crossover programming. I'm stepping down as Head of Programming.
Finding someone to do that is going to be a serious challenge. But
remember folks, all you need to do is find the deputy in charge of
your category of topic. They'll be arranged and announced within the
upcoming months. In fact, you could be one!

-Matt
