[Callers] Caller needed: 1/16 Stanford barn dance

by Aahz via Callers

Howdy, I've been asked to run a barn dance Saturday Jan 16, 9pm-11pm, but I'm busy. The dance will be part of the Western Regional Outdoor Leadership Conference: http://outdoored.stanford.edu/center/wrolc-2016/ If you don't know where Stanford is, you're probably coming from too far away to make sense. ;-) There will be 100+ college students. The theme for this year's conference is "diversity", and they would prefer a caller who can fit the theme in addition to having experience with one-night-stand environments. I've offered to be a filter so that they don't need to deal with the responses, so please respond privately to me if you're interested and available. I've already explained that booking will be somewhat difficult both because of the relatively short notice and because it's Ralph Page weekend. I probably will also be sending out an e-mail blast to people I have addresses for, apologies if you get this twice. They have already contacted other callers so you may actually get three copies... -- Square/Contra Caller http://caller.aahz.ws/ <*> <*> <*> "Those who hear not the music think the dancers mad."

Re: [Callers] Identifying Dances (Was "Anyone know this dance?"]

blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; } I agree with Paul. I find this a great part of our forum and easily identifiable.

Thanks,Paul First of all, I think making changes is a bit premature -- nobody AFAIK is complaining about the current stream of requests. That said, Mailman has the ability to create "virtual" mailing lists called topics: https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/node29.html It would be straightforward -- once we agree on any topic names -- for Seth/Chris to implement topic filtering. Aahz speaks for me on this. I don't find the current level any problem at all, and a sub-list tag wouldn't be a problem either. -- Alan _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net

[Callers] Identifying Dances (Was "Anyone know this dance?"]

by Jeremy Gmail via Callers

There are occasional requests on this forum for a dance to be identified, which got me thinking. As with, I’m sure, many callers, I have a number of dances that I’ve come across, often at dances, where I know neither the name nor the author. I like to honour the choreographer by mentioning their name and the name of the dance when I call it, but I can’t do this if I don’t know it. It is usually relatively easy to find the author if you know the title, using Michael Dyck's excellent Contradance Index, but without a title it becomes a much bigger task. An “obvious” solution would be a magical web page that lets you put in the dance and to reward you with the name and author. Apart from the massive logistical challenge of creating and maintaining such a database, this seems morally dubious as some authors prefer not to publish their work. So what can we do? We could all ask on [Callers] but we’d soon get fed up with the forum being taken over. I wondered about a “please identify this dance” (sub-)forum, similar to the many ”ask the expert” forums (fora?) you see in the IT community. Do members have any thoughts about this? Will it work? How do we get people on it? What are the issues? Is there a batter / alternative approach? Over to the Hive Mind. Jeremy http://barndancecaller.net/SocialDance.html
