I got a reply from Siggraph about my suggestion to have other points of view on their news article about the layoffs in the visual effects industry.
It is a reasonable reply and suggests that I make use of their Facebook page. Its a good thought. Their reply and my reply to their reply will be forthcoming when I return from my little trip.
I find national Siggraph inscrutable. Do they understand their role in creating the current disaster? I doubt it. If they did understand their role, would they change their behavior in the future? I doubt it but by no means am I certain because, as I have said, I find Siggraph to be inscrutable.
I am still baffled that I was not permitted to run for office at Siggraph. No one is more qualified than I am to run for office. I have put in blood, sweat and tears into this field and had an impact and have a point of view. Better than most, I know where we came from and have an opinion about where we should go. Having been nominated, it is still up to the general membership to vote for me or not as they please, after all.
It is baffling, but as I say, Siggraph at the national level has always been inscrutable to me.
