[Announce] Announcement of Bid Deadline

[Andy Willis]

The Board of Directors of Warpstock Corporation has placed a deadline
on the receipt of bids from groups or individuals wishing to host
Warpstock 2008.

All bids must be received on or before MARCH 15, 2008 by e-mail to:
bids at warpstock.org. Only bids received at this e-mail address will be
considered.

This deadline has been set in order that adequate time is available
for all the necessary  planning and preparation to occur. This
includes:
     * planning by the Event Team to secure the venue;
     * planning by the Speaker Committee to arrange presenters; and
     * planning by the attendees to get to the site of Warpstock 2008.


The Board of Directors would like to make the announcement of
location for Warpstock 2008 as soon as possible.

Information about the bid process and the requirements for hosting a
Warpstock event will be found on the Warpstock web site at
http://www.warpstock.org/staticpages/index.php?page=bidproc and
http://www.warpstock.org/staticpages/index.php?page=BSO.

This bid should contain a list of the individuals involved, the city
or area in which the event would be held, and the suggested time of
year for the event. The letter of intent may contain any additional
information about the proposed bid that the team wishes to share. It
should also include the benefits of holding the event in their
suggested location. This letter does not need to be in great detail
about the proposed event, but rather, a commitment from the group
about entering into the bid process.

The Board of Directors will remain in close contact with the Teams
throughout the entire bid process, including final site selection.
The Board of Directors contains a number of past Event Team members
and will be available to provide support for any group wishing to
submit a proposal.

Now is the time to start!

Let's make Warpstock 2008 a most memorable Warpstock!
