[UA-discuss] UA Day 2024: Call for Proposals

Thu Nov 2 02:27:58 UTC 2023

Folks:

I share Mark Datysgeld's concerns. If our press release doesn't say what 
we really mean, how do we expect people to know what we really mean?

On a related note, the page at <https://uasg.tech/ua-day/> lacks a lot 
of relevant information which is now public in the press release and in 
our semi-public email threads. For example:

  * "UA Day" is an umbrella term for events both on the specific date
    and on nearby dates
  * A link to the announcement
    <https://uasg.tech/2023/11/uasg-announces-call-for-proposals-for-ua-day-2024/>
  * A summary of the terms of the call for proposals from the announcement.
  * A link to a page which will be the hub to keep track of UA Day plans
    as they form. (I would hope that page would be
    <https://uasg.tech/ua-day/> or <https://universalacceptance.day>.)
  * A clarification about the roles of the two URLs,
    <https://uasg.tech/ua-day/> and <https://universalacceptance.day>.
    Is the latter always only going to be a link to the former? Or will
    the latter become the hub, because it is the easier one to remember?
  * Links to follow, for people who are inspired by what they learn from
    UA Day, and want to take the next step in their own UA work.

My suggestion is that the UA Day project put effort into keeping a page 
which is the hub to keep track of UA Day plans as they form.  I would 
even suggest publishing information on the hub page before sending that 
same information out in the form of press releases.

Best regards,
     —Jim DeLaHunt
