It's December!
Dec. 1st, 2009 06:21 pmIt's December! Along with Santa Monkey*, that means it's time to...VOTE FOR TAFF!
I'm proud to be among Brian Gray & Anne KG Murphy's nominators. I think Brian & Anne are excellent candidates and that they'll be splendid TAFF delegates if they win. Brian & Anne are running an energetic, collaborative campaign along with Frank Wu, their fellow candidate in the 2010 TAFF race.
Votes in this race must reach the administrators by midnight PST, 22 December 2009. This is 8am GMT, 23 December 2009. Administrators are Chris Garcia here in the US and Steve Green in the UK. Addresses and other information are included on the ballot linked to above, including email/PayPal voting info.
In addition, Frank has put up a set of lively eBay auctions running through next Monday evening, December 7th (PST). Earlier this year, Brian & Anne rounded up almost all of the Tuckerizations on offer. Bid on naming rights for a character in upcoming works by Cory Doctorow, Charlie Stross, David Brin, Elizabeth Bear, Nalo Hopkinson, Julie Czerneda, and/or Mary Robinette Kowal. There are also two desirable first editions from George Orwell and John Hershey donated by Terry Hickman The auction is already adding more than $1,000 to TAFF's coffers, which bodes well for the health of the fund as well as spreading awareness of it.
For bunches of background and interesting information, see the TAFF website.
