LCS Creating New Advisory Committee
Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2011 7:28 pm
The Language Creation Society (LCS) would like to announce the creation of a new advisory committee. The LCS Advisory Committee will be a group of individuals (e.g., conlangers, non-conlangers, fans of conlanging/conlangs) who'd like to provide input to the LCS Board on LCS activities impacting the greater conlanging community. The charge of the advisory committee would be to discuss overarching policy decisions, large-scale projects, and the general direction of the LCS. Day-to-day operations of the society (e.g., maintenance of the website, adding new blogs to the Conlang Blog Aggregator, etc.) would be handled by the officers and Board. You don't need to be an LCS member, or even necessarily an active conlanger, to be a member of the LCS Advisory Committee. All you need is an interest in helping to inform the LCS and help it to better serve the greater conlanging community.
If this sounds like something with which you'd like to be involved, we'd like to hear from you. If you're interested in joining the advisory committee, send an e-mail to volunteer@conlang.org. Let us know what portion of the community you're from (e.g., active conlanger, fan of a particular conlang, linguaphile, etc.) and what your user name is on any conlang-related forum (if applicable, such as your user name on ZBB ). The committee will communicate via a mailman listserv, so we will need your e-mail address, but other than that, anyone can participate.
If you'd like more detailed information about the advisory committee, go to http://conlang.org/adcom.php.
In other LCS news, we have recently changed leadership and added several new board members:
President: David Peterson (creator of Dothraki and other languages)
Treasurer: Sylvia Sotomayor (creator of Kelen)
Secretary: Don Boozer (The Conlanging Librarian)
New Board Members: Alex Fink (co-creator of the Gripping Language), Doug Ball (creator of Skerre), Richard Littauer (Web master of Dothraki.org), and John Quijada (creator of Ithkuil)
If you have any questions about the LCS or the new advisory committee, feel free to e-mail lcs@conlang.org.
