Terry....it has been great fun doing the panel swap. I bet there will be another one for sure, being it is such a great idea.
The next one should maybe have a time limit of one month? And those too busy will have to wait til the next one.

Karyn lets you and I do one for each other since we both missed the first round. But only on the condition that we agree on a deadline. I do not tolerate procrastinators! You set the deadline.

"NEAR" future? ha ha ha, Karyn - if you start now it might wind up 7 or 8 months from now. There are still some of us who have not heard from our donors.
I had an idea about a 'next one' -- the original panel swaps I knew about, though some projects were brought TO the meets, were mostly done AT the meets - over a weekend. The panels from this go-round are wonderful, but I wonder if some people went way overboard, and may not want to continue that level of involvement. If by making a shorter deadline I wonder if 'more fun' projects might come out of it, by having to do one 'off the cuff' so to speak. Say everybody gets on the list without knowing when the ordeal is going to go down, then on a Thursday we get the go ahead and the name and the finished panel has to be in the mail on Monday. Too quick? I can see the excuses already; "Aw, man, my dog ate my puter and I didn't know it was supposed to be THIS weekend - I need another 8 months." Maybe give it a whole week, then, but basically a weekender panel.

I liked the way the last panel jam worked. It gave us time to think about the name we got and what we wanted to do. We where able to fit it into our schedule when it was convenient. We had time to experiment with some new techniques. I think if we made it into a quick bang-out thing, less people would participate and it would die out.
Personally, I'd like to see two a year. I think we should give this one another month to be completed, and then think about round two.

Count me in, too. I came real close to signing up for this last one, but ended up chickening out because I was not real sure what type of stuff was expected. But after seeing some of the exellent and diverse panels, it really caused the juices to flow (figuratively, of course) and want to think outside the box.
BTW, thanks Terry for stepping up and taking on that little diversion. After all, that is the essence of the true letterhead experience.

Oh, and for me personally, I like the idea of a short turn-around time. If you give me 6 months, I would probably think to start on it about 15 min. before the due date. I guess it has something to do with a short attention... HEY, let's go ride bikes!!!

Yo! Count me in as well We could have a mini jam and have a cut off at say 20 or so people. The deadline would be one month so people don't go overboard, and display them on the web site the following month. We could almost do it monthly or bi-monthly as long as the same people don't enter it every month.

Stephen, I would like to exchange panels with you. What do you say? You will not be sorry as I've been thinking about this panel that I've wanted to do for some time now. I will need about a month to create it. Maybe a little more maybe a little less, But somewhere under 45 days. Should it be for the 1st annual panel jam or the 1.5 panel jam? I'll Email my mailing address if you would like to swap. Thanks!
