Hello Magic Judges!
We are looking for a few good judges with time to spare. These judges will assist in the Conference Content project which is part of the Conference Sphere.

There are a lot of seminars out there and new seminars being presented at every conference. We want them to have the same look and feel. As a member of this group you will be helping collect data from old and new seminars. We are taking this data and creating a uniform look for future presenters to use.

We want these seminars to be easily accessible and they will be featured on their own web site. This project is being done using WordPress. Experience with it is helpful but not required. If you have wiki experience or any similar formatting, linking, and tagging experience you can catch on quickly.

If you are interested please send an e-mail at george.trichopoulos@gmail.com. Although we’ll be taking applications for volunteers up to Monday, September 02, 2013, motivated volunteers will be always welcome unless we are terribly overstaffed, so email me!

More information on the sphere is located here:

thank you,

Who is “we” and why?

Hi Bernd,

the “we” is at least the guys responsible for the judge conferences sphere, but lots of us agree with this vision. Why? Well if the presentations have the same look and feel then judges should know what to expect visually and it will be more easy for them to concentrate on the actual topic and assimilate the content

Does this make any sense?

I just like the idea of keeping presentations in a central repository. Rather than simply dispersing the information among a small local audience, it allows for a more global impact.
