It's a good thing china_shop is watching the clock/calendar! Skimming last year's organisation posts tells me that this is going up a full two weeks later than last year, but I'm sure you've all been quietly plotting and planning anyway.

First off, and in addition to all our usual fun, I'm quite keen to take a leaf from our sister con sinpozium and have a couple of technical panels. The following are just a few things I'd be interested in, so if you have additional ideas please feel free to add them in comments.

1) Tumblr: anyone out there feel that they could explain how to make tumblr actually work? As an indication, my interaction with tumblr consists of following links, and occasionally scrolling fast through a tag. Could you explain, maybe using screen grabs, how to use tags most effectively, how to use tumblr savior, missing e, or whatever the latest fix is, what the difference is between an ask and a like and how to get your comments in the right place, and just generally how to get the most out of the platform?

2) Latest awesome extensions/apps etc that are making fannish life easier/better: this wouldn't need to be a presentation, but I think it'd be a cool short discussion, if there is anything you've discovered that someone else might not have.

And then we return to our regularly scheduled programming, namely:

1) Show Pimps -- is there an awesome new show (or a magnificent old one) that everyone should be watching? Let us know! Put together a few clips, or a basic primer (powerpoint, picspam etc) to advertise and convert the masses. [This includes media other than tv shows, natch.]

2) Ship Manifestos -- is there an OTP (or OT3 or...) that is oppressing fandom fairly leaping off the screen? Do likewise.

3) Panel Discussions -- everything you wanted to know and were afraid to ask. (You don't have to moderate, though you can if you'd like. Just chuck your questions down.)

As an administrative issue, the slots that are scheduled in against lunchbreaks are now "Warnings Attached" slots. No judgment whatsoever implied, YKINMK in full force, simply an acknowledgment that some people may prefer to avoid certain things.
