Hi all, I've already received 9 expressions of interest to join the Thesaurus Management Collective! I honestly thought I'd get between 0 and 3, so it's a nice surprise. Almost all of the people who've written so far are not currently involved with the Thesaurus, which is also a nice surprise. I'm wondering who would like to help review the expressions of interest and decide who to invite to join the Collective? I suppose ideally the people who review the (informal) applications will not be applicants themselves, although I do trust us to be impartial and make decisions that benefit the project over us as individuals, so I don't think that necessarily needs to exclude anyone if they want to be part of the "selection committee." Please let me know if you are able to help. After I get a few volunteers, I'll make a Doodle poll to schedule a meeting time to discuss the applications. The schedule will go something like this: - Feb 5 - deadline for expressions of interest - Feb 6 - I'll send the expressions to everyone on the committee to review - Sometime between Feb 10 and 14 - the committee will meet to discuss the applications As always, I'd love to hear other suggestions for the approach and process, and questions. Thanks, Amanda _______________________________________________ Zlunioncat mailing list Zlunioncat@lists.qzap.org http://lists.qzap.org/listinfo.cgi/zlunioncat-qzap.org

Hi all, I'm still looking for a couple people to help with reviewing and selecting the Thesaurus Collective members. Please get in touch if you can help. Thanks!

Hello Amanda, I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner! I can probably help if I get more time to review the applications before our meeting.I have no time on 2/5-2/7 because of so many work meetings. I will have more time later that week and more time the following week. If the committee met on 2/15 or 2/16 to discuss applications, I think I could get through 9 applications with some useful input! I had to start physical therapy for my hip a couple weeks ago, so I'm having regular therapy appointments and extra exercise to complete every day in my spare time. Also, the hip hurts when I sit too long (which is annoying because my job is sitting). I'm just finding myself with a lot less time to get all the things done right now. But, I can do this if you are still looking for help:) I hope you are doing well, I got your zines and I'm having lots of fun reading them!
