Gary Gotleibe is heading up the animation search committee.
He was on the committee who found Larry Baden.
The animation committee also consists of Juraj Bohus, Kit Jenkins, Van McElweee, and Rebecca Ormond.
The committee will be meeting next week to write job descriptions.
Gary wants input from students every step of the way.
Email him or post on the INTM facebook group if you have any input in regards to the full time animation position.
He plans to keep as much public as possible, but won’t divulge what he legally can’t.
Everything he can tell, he will.
Committee hopes to get 50 or so applicants, after they get that narrowed down to 5-10 Gary would like to bring in students to view demo reels.
They are looking for a good colleague, a good mentor (like Joel was), and a good public figure who will get webster animation out there.
“The past is the past,” we have to focus on what we can do and look forward.
Jorge Oliver is in charge of the INTM full time committee.

This is for everyone who is organizing their own travel arrangements.
I just received an email from SIGGRAPH stating that they changed the conference dates:
SIGGRAPH 2008 is Monday - Friday, not Sunday - Thursday. This schedule change maximizes your travel time so that your weekend is free to spend time with family or friends or to enjoy all of the Los Angeles attractions.
I just want to make sure everyone has the correct airfare tickets and hotel reservations. I will mention this change this Sunday at the meeting as well.
I’d be happy to forward the email to anyone who would like. I believe you get signed up for the mailing list by becoming an ACM member, but if not visit http://www.siggraph.org/s2008/maillist/ to sign up for the list.
