[FFML] Rob Barba's FFML proposal

Get back to Rob about this, not me.

All,

Over the past day, everyone�s been talking about how to save the FFML.
There�s been a lot of ideas thrown about, and frankly, one of them that
I think hasn�t been discussed is that of advertising.

So I�m going to go on a limb on this one. As you can see from below, one
the things I do is director of programming for AnimeUSA, a Washington
DC-based anime con going on 17-19 November. I�m going to request that a
few people volunteer (if so willing) do a 60-minute panel on the FFML,
what it does and what it stands for, and as well as a recruitment drive.

I can�t do this myself because of time constraints (running programming
at a con is no walk in the park), as well as conflict of interest. But
if there are people willing to do it, I�ll be willing to throw in a max
of five badges for full admission to the con for the entire duration.
Essentially, for sixty minutes of talking about it and trying to recruit
for the FFML, you�ll have free admission to the con.

I realize not everyone can do this (I have no idea how many FFMLers
aside from myself live within reasonable traveling distance to the con).
I realize that it might not help things. But I�m willing to make the
offer, if there are any takers. If so, please contact me at
programming@animeusa.org <mailto:programming@animeusa.org> with the
following:

Name (I need your real name, if you�re using a handle)

Age (If you are under the age of 13 � I doubt that�s the case for most
of you � I must exclude you from this due to convention policy)

What you propose to talk about at the panel and how you can work to make
it a success (ie, signing up names and such).

Once I have the five who are willing to do this, I�ll put you all in
contact so you can work together to firm up your plans.
