So, now I have paid our membership fees for Paragon 2. It turned out we were not members after all. Next, hotel reservations, as soon as we get our membership numbers.

More locally, the Snorfon 2 committee - which I'm 1/4 of - seem to have decided we want to hold the con in Uppsala next year, in late October. A meta con, sort of smof con, but with other stuff than just conrunning and with a Nordic focus. A meta con for Nordic actifans, simply, for conrunners, faneds, and other types of organizers. Copenhagen last month was great fun, I hope Uppsala next year will be just as fun.

In thirty minues, I'm leaving the office to take the train down to Stockholm. This year it is 20 years since Apple Computer, Inc. opened its Swedish subsidiary, and all employees and ex-employees have been invited to an anniversary party tonight. (Unfortunately, not on the company's expense, but hey, it will be fun nevertheless.) Many of these people I have nothing in common with, since Apple Sweden (especially by the time I was laid off) was mostly a sales office with marketers and boring neckties, but there were some marvellous people there and it was a great company with great products. Still is, of course.

Hm. How would one get involved in the organization of the Uppsala con?

Hypothetically speaking, I mean...

We haven't discussed that. Last year the concom was four people, and we appointed four people for the next one as well. I'll ask the rest of the concom assuming the question is about as hypothetical as I assume it is. I think we want to keep the concom tiny for such a tiny con - there's not much for the committee to do, really - but having two committee members in the town where it will take place would make sense to me.

I'll get back to you.
