Some people have expressed confusion about whether jbonunsla was going to happen at Penguicon three months from now. I just want to clarify my previous email. Currently this is not planned to happen due to a low projected attendance. It's unfortunate, but it would only bring in two out of state Lojban enthusiasts. The outcome wouldn't justify the sacrifices it would involve from me, those two people, the LLG, my local Lojbanist group, and Penguicon. I'm very sorry that this is the decision I had to reach. Penguicon is still a premiere destination for anyone who has the sort of interests Lojban enthusiasts tend to have. Whether one or more jbonunsla will happen somewhere else during 2007 is still an open question. -Eppcott On 12/19/06, Matt Arnold <matt.mattarn@gmail.com> wrote:
OK, here is a report on where we currently stand so far, on a decision of whether or not to have a jbonunsla 2007 at Penguicon. There are currently only two people, Robin Lee Powell and Matt Dunlap, who would probably attend. Everyone is happy to see a Lojban Festival happen at Penguicon 2007, but five of you (komfo,amonan, jcowan, lojbab, kamsen, bancus) sent their regrets. I don't wish to run another jbonunsla at Philcon, and I would need at least a half-dozen out-of-state attendees to justify setting aside space at Penguicon and do all that labor. Unless I get them within the next month or so, there won't be a jbonunsla in 2007. This is not necessarily a bad thing. We could declare it an every-two-years event, and it might increase demand for one in 2008. -Eppcott
