1. I’m proofing the proposal for new Courses and general changes to the SA. I hope to submit it to be critiqued by the GM and DGM by next week.

2. It seems I was fairly ambiguous regarding applications for P:HM and M:HM, since I didn't state what I was looking for, I got several emails that stated little more than "I'm interested". So, one more chance. Applications are due Thursday. If you'd like to apply for P:HM and/or M:HM, please include the following in your application (if you've already applied, I'd encourage you to resend it with the following info):

• DB History - Time in DB, Leadership Experience, etc.

• Past Projects - Anything that you've worked on in the past that might be of interest. If you've built a website that's still up, please include a url so I can take a look at it. I am planning on giving the SA site a very big visual overhaul, so you'll want to show off your best work.

• Any other special skills - Programming, graphics, etc.

• Any ideas you have for the improvement of the SA.

• Any additional information not covered above that you'd like me to consider.

<p>3. I've had a few suggestions from people wondering about re-coding the SA site in PHP as opposed to ASP. All personal preferences aside, the fact is that the site is hosted on djb.org, which has ASP support, but no PHP support, and I can't afford to pay for PHP hosting somewhere else. So unless someone can provide a server with PHP support free of charge, that's probably not going to happen. But once again, I do want to give the site a new look, so I do need people to help out in that department. <p>4. If anyone has any suggestions for the SA, please feel free to send them my way. <p>**Krath Pontifex Arion Sunrider
