Discussion Time

[moon]

When do you want the GT to be held?

Mid-summer? (sorry daniel)

Or September or such, rather?


How long should the GT be? This maybe is a discussion also about how you even want to structure it - how many events, how long for this or that.

I'm partial to sometime in August, but definitely open to suggestions.

 

[gimmepie]

July or August seems reasonable.

 

[Janp]

May

July or August sounds optimal.

Don't people start school again in August? Could be a time where people are rather busy. Unless we do the start of August, perhaps.

what even is mid-summer
juuullllyyyyyy

i forgot how long gt lasts

 

[tokyodrift]

Maybe late June or sometime in July. Though late June might not give us enough time to plan and get everything together. August things seem to die down a bit with most students getting ready to head back to school.

I'd heavily recommend a good month or so of solid planning. It's for this reason that it's probably better off being held in July with the bulk of the planning being done in June.

Also @Chura: it's really up to us as GT Management to determine how long GT lasts. Although personally, I'm a bit wary of going the two week route again.

 

[Kitty]

if planning's being done in june, imo set it mid july or so
but leave "final" deadlines for exactly july B)

ohhhhh

how about one and a half week then :^)
since's one weeks' too short
and two weeks can be too long

I'd say end of July would work well.

And 1 week seems to be a good time. 2 weeks is a bit too long to be one continuous event, somehow. If you can cram all events into one week, one busy fun week, it should be good :)

 

[Fairy]

I'm good with end of July! A week and a half, give or take, seems reasonable too. :)

 

[Janp]

Yeah, end of July sounds great.

I'm also for week and a half. Week seems too restricting.

 

[colours]

week and a half is fine w/me for duration.

 

[gimmepie]

Works for me

 

[Sheep]

Wouldn't mind two weeks personally, but I know that might be a bit too much time to dedicate to one big event for some people. Week and a half in July sounds good!

 

[moon]

So what dates? :D

 

[Janp]

Start - 23.7. or latter that week
End - 10 or 11 days after the start?

Or is it too late in July? I could imagine it starting around 20.7.

 

[Sheep]

^Same. How about July 20-31, Friday to Tuesday? I'd rather it not go into August since some schools/universities start classes that month.

Agreed. ^ Starting mid-July would be fine. I do want to stress though that this means Event Organizer applications would have to be open like... the first of June or so? Basically kicking of that month with applications and event ideas so we can deliberate on applications and whatnot and hit the ground running with event planning.
