LAT48s 2012
« on: September 03, 2012, 01:39:19 PM »
I was wondering if we can do another LAT48s, the first for this year. I was thinking maybe on the first day of autumn (September 22nd) at around 7:58PM ET? What do you guys think?

Lets see how many people can participate. September is always rough with school starting and in session for most

I'll be available at the aforementioned time. But Martin is right, some people may not be.

Yeah, I would have to agree with you on the situation, Martin  :yes:  The autumn equinox is on a Saturday, but I imagine people will have a lot on their hands when it comes to school, despite that it's on a weekend. Maybe we could reschedule the LAT48s to a new date that might seem more convenient for everyone else here, like on another weekend or maybe a holiday? What do you suggest?

I would suggest this weekend because school is just starting and most members won't have alot of workload at the beginning.

Good point. We'll see what Martin thinks.

IMO, I think it would be better to hold it off until around the Winter solstice.. that way not as many of us are busy with school. While the autumnal equinox is on a Saturday, I don't think it'd be a day I could remember to do it :no:

I figured since that we haven't done a LAT48s this year yet, I would ask if we could do one, but I'm with Zach on this one. Let's wait until the winter solstice to do a LAT48s. That way, no one has a lot on their hands when it comes to school.

I'm already pretty much loaded up from a couple of weeks. Hopefully the rest of you aren't :)

I tend to agree. Its not a done deal so keep sending in suggestions and comments B) I remember the Halloween one we did a few years back was cool!

I agree, and that may actually be a better time, but what a coincidence because even a month after that it could be a bad time again when everyone's doing their Thanksgiving traveling :P

Anyone still in agreement for a LAT48s on the Winter Solstice, like we did last year?

I haven't heard any interest from other members yet, but Martin should be replying to you on that question soon as he's in charge of organizing these events.

I could do it but there's no point in me participating when all I got is the regular satellite lf :(
