This gives newcomers the impression that there were no events nearby last year and that there are not likely to be nearby events this year. Is FVC and the foundation it provides for FTC being completely ignored? |
As one who has volunteered at the "FVC Pilot" events held here in Fall 2005 and Fall 2006, I am also disturbed by the omission you pointed out above. I agree it could give newcomers an incorrect and undesirable (FIRST) impression.
However, the effect is temporary, and should be corrected when the new schedule of FTC events hits the website, probably in the next month or so.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
