Hi, all.
I have just submitted the BCOEL proposal.
Part of the submission process required entering the names and emails of the speakers, which then led to automatically generated confirmation emails. Can those of you who provided names contact your respective recruit(s) and just let them know nothing is official until/unless the proposal is accepted? Probably better having a message come from someone they know rather than some UFV librarian apparently signing people up for conferences...
Here is the panel as submitted:
Arthur 'Gill' Green (faculty, UBC)
Ken Jeffery (faculty, BCIT)
Farhad Dastur (faculty, KPU)
Courtney Miller (student, SFU)
Brenda Smith (Librarian, TRU)
Loretta Teng (Instructional designer, BCIT)
James Rout (Associate VP, BCIT)
Thanks.
-Martin

Hi everyone,
This is an important notice to let you know that the ALS meeting scheduled for Dec. 9 at BCIT downtown campus has been postponed to January 2017 due to the weather forecast for the end of the week, which includes heavy snow fall for Thursday and Friday.
The January 2017 dates are still to be determined. We will keep everyone on these lists posted as soon as new dates are confirmed. So stay tuned and enjoy the snow, if you can!
Cheers,
Rosario Passos

Hi there everyone,
Please see attached message from Lin. She was trying to send this out on Thursday, but the listserv was not working.
______________________________________
Final proposal is due by 11:59 Tuesday , Dec. 6.
[ https://bclaconnect.ca/2017-conference/program-speakers/call-for-proposals/ | https://bclaconnect.ca/2017-conference/program-speakers/call-for-proposals/ ]
Martin is away today and I am away Fri ., and Mon .
This latest is based on our discussion earlier this week, and on some notes that Gill sent me about things he could talk about on Dec. 9, and on Martin’s amalgamation of the two proposals.
Please have at it – feel free to put in different ‘fictional’ names for the panel. Martin will need your feedback by noon on Monday so that he can finalize and submit by noon on Tuesday .
Thanks for taking care of this Martin -please revise as you like.

Hi there everyone,
If you tried to send a message through the listserv in the last few days, you probably got an email returned message. That is because BCcampus carried out a big email server patch last week and it broke the listservs.
Well, I am happy to let you know that everything is now back in service and the listservs are working, so... go ahead and send your messages.
Cheers,
Rosario Passos

Hi, all.
I will not be able to extract myself from a concurrent meeting today, but a few things to report:
As mentioned, BCLA proposal drafts at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18eGDZvLlWh996ocO9qxyBAQ1RfjTjx_qbMLoLTX…
This is due next Thursday, I believe, so I'm happy to revise/tweak based on group input. The big question is determining the speaker for the first session - basically it's scripted for Arthur Gill Green, as discussed with Lin and Brenda. Who would ask him about this?
UFV update: I have had a discussion about open textbook adoptions with our trades programs director, and I trying to have Rod Lidstone come and talk to our trades faculty. Rod is willing, and is currently doing some collaboration with someone at UFV, so it depends on the collective interest/admin pressure to arrange a guest appearance.
I will be attending ALS on December 9th. Let me know if you need me to help with anything that day.
Thanks.
