[SAC-FAST] Conflict with Preconference

[Lundgren,Jimmie Harrell]

Dear FAST Subcommittee,
The FAST meeting in New Orleans Friday afternoon at 4 PM will conflict with the last hour of the Genre/Form preconference described at:
http://www.alaannual.org/content/alcts

Please reply to let me know if you are planning to attend that event and if so if you would not want to skip the last hour. I can still change the time for the FAST Meeting, but with limited options. Friday at 7:30 PM is still available, but Saturday at 8 AM is not. I haven't checked about other times yet.

Thanks and have a great day,
Jimmie

Subject: [SAC-FAST] FAST Subcommittee, Midwinter '11

The FAST Subcommittee will meet Friday, Jan. 7, 4-5:15 PM, MAR-Coronado. Here is a draft agenda.

1. General review and discussion of FAST by Ed O'Neill.  He said, "With the publication of the book (and distribution to the subcommittee members), FAST is now fairly well documented.  Some of the underlying concepts upon which FAST was developed are bound to generate comments/criticism/questions.  While the book is new and with the subcommittee planning to transition to an interest group, this would be an ideal time to have a general review of FAST.  It would certainly be helpful for us to get feedback regarding what we did right, what we did wrong, what we should change, and where to go from here."
2. MapFAST is now up and publicly available at http://fast.oclc.org/MapFAST/.  It seems to be generating a lot of interest and we will have a brief demo and discussion.
3. The transition to an Interest Group with broader focus will be discussed, and those present will be able to sign the application to be presented to CCS Exec. I will bring the printed application with the charge we agreed upon this fall for signing.
4. Selection of the first person to serve as Chair of the new Interest Group.

Since I didn't know if the Interest Group being formed would have time to schedule a meeting, I went ahead and scheduled as the FAST Subcommittee so that a time and place could be established to meet in New Orleans in June.

Thanks Ed, for the copy of the FAST book!

Please send comments or suggestions. Thanks and best regards,
Jimmie
