Hello everyone,
Unfortunately due to some unforeseen complications with my pregnancy, I am being admitted to hospital on May 12th 2008. I'm not sure how long I will be gone for. I imagine I should be home again by mid-June, but I make no promises. It is only precautionary, and the baby and myself are both healthy. I'll just be stuck there for a while.
Because I am the main administrator for the site ,and this has happened unexpectedly, the site will be a little less organised than usual. Test marking and mentoring, preliminary emails and automated systems should run as normal.
The main delay I can see is that there WILL NOT be a new test published in June. I shall endeavour to get one done as soon as possible, but since I cannot guarantee it I would rather warn people that there may be a wait.
I hope you're all well, and I shall see you when I get back home.
All the best,
Asli |

V-Gift for Charity
This month is Mental Health Awareness Month, so the LiveJournal team is offering users a chance to support the Depression and Bipolar Alliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping improve the lives of those suffering from mood disorders. Proceeds from purchases of the Emerging Sun v-gift during May will be donated to the DBSA, so feel free to buy one. Or, if you really want to rack up some good karma points, get a bunch!
And don't forget: Mother's Day is this Sunday. Be a dear and check out the v-gifts shop. Send something that'll make her smile.
L to R: Emerging Sun, #1 Mom, Gift Basket, Chocolates, A Dozen Red Roses
Brand-Spanking New, Contest-Winning Themes
We know how you salivate over the prospect of new themes, especially when they're designed by users with a unique handle on both form and function.
L to R: Shiny, River at Night, Live and Learn, Vector Drips.
( Winners of the HP 'What Do You Have to Say?' Theme Design Contest )
Advisory Board Nominations
We'd like to remind you that the nomination process for LiveJournal Advisory Board user-representatives has begun. If you think you're fit for the job, now's the time to nominate yourself! After all, you're the only who can do it. In two weeks, on the 22nd, the voting process will begin; we'll remind you about it again here.
If you're interested in keeping up with the nominations, watch ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) lj_election_en. We'll post the results and announce the winner by the end of the day on May 30th. The new user-representatives will be seated on June 1st. Further details can also be found in lj_2008. |

Advisory Board Nominations Begin
This morning we are opening the nomination process for the user-representative positions on the LiveJournal Advisory Board. A full description of the process can be found here.
To get you started, here are the basic things you should know:
- You may only nominate yourself
- Each nominee will need 100 motions of support in order to be eligible to be a candidate
- We ask that you keep your comments on the nomination posts to "I support this nomination" or something to that effect; be kind to those who will need to count the "supports", please.
- Although the nominations and election poll will take place in lj_election_en, you do not need to watch the community in order to keep up with the election; we'll announce everything here as well.
Everyone here at LiveJournal is looking forward to this first-ever User-Representative election! We'd like to thank everyone who is participating. Some words from our current Advisory Board members:
danah boyd: “LiveJournal is filled with very passionate users. These users have helped shaped LJ's various communities over the last decade and it gives me great joy that LJ is recognizing and incorporating users' voices into the decision-making processes. Having user representatives from different parts of LJ on the Advisory Board will help make sure that the company is meeting the needs of its diverse constituents.”
Esther Dyson: "I'm sure we'll learn a lot from the process, and later on from the two users selected as well. Especially, I hope that the discussions before the voting will be more meaningful and more focused on policy than those in some offline campaigns."
Brad Fitzpatrick: "It's cool that SUP is getting users involved with the LiveJournal decision-making process. I look forward to seeing who the community elects and the results of our efforts working together."
Professor Lawrence Lessig: “The user elections will provide a critical check on LJ's process of maintaining a valuable and trustworthy environment for the LJ community. The mandate of the elections will give the user representatives pride of place among the members of the Advisory Board. Each of us will look to them to guide us in our judgment about how best to make LJ the community we all aspire that it will be. I look forward to welcoming the user representatives, and learning a great deal from them.”
![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) chasethestars has also made some banners for you to use, if you'd like to show your support for the candidate of your choice!
( Banners + code for you to use! ) |

| New Fandoms Added |
[May. 5th, 08|12:48 pm] |
Hello everyone,
This is just to let you know that we have now added the following fandoms to the beta reader listing:
Beyblade, CSI: Las Vegas, Final Fantasy VII, Fullmetal Alchemist, Pirates of the Caribbean, Pokemon, Rurouni Kenshin, Stargate: SG1, Star Wars, Teen Titans, Twilight and Yu Yu Hakusho.
You can add beta profiles for any of these fandoms by logging into the site and going to your account, before selecting the "Add a Profile" link.
Hopefully I have isolated all the major ships. However, if there's a ship in any of these fandoms that's not on the list or any character names spelled incorrectly then please let me know, and I'll get straight on it.
Also the site should be fully functioning and operational. If you find any bugs or glitches then pelase let me know, with the error message, and we'll set to repairing it.
Thank you,
Asli xxx |
