We had a meeting Sunday of a few key volunteers in the Edmonton area to address any possibility of a change in publication date. We’ve also had some feedback from Facebook and Linkedin discussions. While it was not a clear 100% consensus, the majority want to stay with the publicized November 2012 publication date with a submissions deadline of end July 2012.

We did, however, also decide that it would be a good idea to maintain the web blog past publication and continue to accept submissions. If there is sufficient CF and public interest (and additional submissions) and book sales of the 2012 publication require a second printing, we can then go to a second “revised” edition, or even an e-book, for Nov 2014, which would include all subsequent submissions and a distinct section dedicated to the training mission. This option also supports healthy, sustained engagement with cross-platform social media that is not dependent on a traditional publication.
