Site Update #9, 2020

November 20, 2020 12:15 PM

Hey all. This is going to be a short update, as we’re all collectively dealing with the spike in COVID cases and attendant disruptions, but we’re planning for the New Years Gala and very much looking forward to it!

Development

• Due to COVID-related childcare reasons, development is going to be limited to maintenance and urgent bugfixing probably for the rest of the year. We recognize this is not ideal and we are grateful for your understanding.

General

• The Metafilter New Years Gala is on!
  • Come check out our plans and add your suggestions - we’re taking proposals until Dec. 1.
  • Send your pet pictures or shots of your visual art for the slideshow with the subject GALA PICS
  • Send your gala-themed recipes with the subject GALA MENU

Advisory Board

• The next BIPOC Advisory Board Meeting will take place after the New Year.
• We are paying an honorarium per meeting for each board member, and we welcome funding for it! If you want to help with this, you can do that via the Funding Page. Just send a message via the Contact Form or to [e-mail] and let us know to earmark your contribution for that purpose.
• If any POC are interested in participating in the board or receiving meeting notes regularly, please email [e-mail]

Stay safe everyone! The next update will be posted on 12/4. (previous updates)
