Learn More about SF^3, August 12th, 6:30 p.m. central time

If you or a friend were ever curious about how SF³ (the organization that runs WisCon) works, this is the event for you! We’ll review the current structure of SF³, base volunteer expectations, where the organization is at in Strategic Planning and volunteer recruitment, and what it will take to hold WisCon in 2025!

This orientation is open to anyone in the WisCon community, or interested in the WisCon community, whether or not they’re on Basecamp, so please invite a friend! There will be a mention of how to volunteer, but no pressure to join now.

The meeting will be held online (using the Fairmeeting tool) on August 12th at 6:30 p.m., central time.

Volunteers needed!

We need 3+ volunteers to form a Communications Server Migration Working Group.  Duties include: find a suitable cloud server and work with the current physical server owner to migrate our data and video to the new server. This temporary working group will report to the Gap Planning committee, which meets twice monthly. Prior service migration experience helpful. Contact personnel@sf3.org (subject: Server Migration Working Group) for more information.

 

Disability Audit

WisCon is conducting a Disability Justice Audit. We would like to know about everyone’s experiences regarding accessibility, disability, and justice at WisCon. If you’ve ever attended WisCon, in any capacity, please fill out this survey by July 31. If you’re short on spoons or time, we ask that you focus on the questions marked with an asterisk (*). Your answers will help us determine the direction of future programming and accommodations at WisCon.

The Disability Justice Audit committee is not requesting any personally identifying information in this survey. We will anonymize info or quotes from survey results if presenting them in our audit conclusions.

The survey is here: https://forms.gle/9XmZbKxRH8DU53KBA
