Hi Peter,

Feel free to steal the idea. You may need to have shirts that say
something like "Accelerated Learning; Decelerated Drama"!

Yours for a drama-free department,
Donna

Please send me a tee shirt!  A case of them would help.

Crisis?! Yikes. Our new department head wants to get t-shirts printed up
that read, "No Drama!" and make them required uniform for everyone. I
love that! If only for the power of suggestion. 

I think the crew available has it covered. Totally understand. Thanks,
Peter!

Shannon,

The plans for the workshop sound quite interesting.  I wish I had time
to join you in reading the proposals, but I am up to my neck in crises.

Hello, CBW EB--

By now I'm sure the roar of the new semester is upon you, but we wanted
to touch base with you about CBW and the rest. 

Update 1: Our open CFP for CBW 2011 resulted in about 10 proposals, the
vast majority of which bring new BW voices into our organization and
contribute to the conversation in some fresh and important ways. Given
that we have set aside two Open Panels and a Roundtable Discussion for
the presentations resulting from our open call, we can actually
accommodate all of them and we'd like to. But we want to be certain the
proposals we have meet EB  approval. 

Request 1: Are some of you available to review this handful of short
proposals to determine if any should be rejected or redirected? We have
two options for accepted presenters: (1) present to the entire CBW
Workshop during one of the Open Panels (one in morning, one in
afternoon) or (2) present at one of our Roundtables during the
Roundtable Discussion at the end of the day. All presenters were asked
to limit their proposed presentations to 8-10 minutes, so any proposal
submitted can accommodate either format (traditional panel--up to 4 per
panel; roundtable--as many as we like). 

We'd like to notify those who submitted by next week, if possible. We
expect to hear back from CCCC about proposal by September as well, and
it would be nice to cluster our CBW notifications with theirs. In the
meantime, I'll ask our graduate students here on my campus to help us
sort potential placement of proposed sessions on our CBW 2011 workshop
schedule, bringing like themes together and offering a fresh, sometimes
relatively new-to-the-field perspective to the conference. 

Update 2: BWe! At long, long last, BWe is live
(http://orgs.tamu-commerce.edu/BWe). We are very proud of this Double
Issue and the new infrastructure of Associate Editors it introduces. For
that and so much more, we have you to thank! So thanks: for your amazing
work, insight, generosity, and patience. For the long, long delay, . . .
I must should the lion's share of the blame on that one. In the last few
months I've been buying a new home, moving, preparing for a wedding,
finishing up an NEH grant application (weren't awarded), and some other
good stuff. The professional/personal balance has been one I'm working
to figure out. But it's out now! 

Update 3: Barbara Gleason is Editor for the next BWe Special Issue on
multimodal composing. Check out the call for submissions and see if that
doesn't get you excited! 

Thanks, all! 
Shannon (and Hannah)
