[Deptheads] Painting Contest

[Robyn Nixon]

I appreciate the suggestions people, keep them coming please.

I believe that I am already in communications with them, I brought this
forward to the group to get further feedback, rather than me being the sole
voice of Strategicon.

I already indicated that we want to have multiple Strategicon reps on the
judging committee since we are the actual hosts.

I will continue to coordinate this effort, I wasn¹t looking to replace
myself <grin>.
