https://forum.eurofurence.org/index.php/topic,2327.0.htmlBTW, we staffers
do have regular day jobs. I'm currently sitting in front of mine and supposed to be doing something else than posting in forums. Your last inquiry by email with exactly this question is almost precisely 24 hours old now. There's no hurry at all, and everything you need to know is already posted in this forum. Please do read at least the stickies.
You already received an automatic response from the system when you initially applied for space, telling you that your email has been received by the system. Telling you
again merely that your application has been received seems a waste of time to me. Last year was chaos, hence a lot more emails were sent around, adding to your impression of quicker handling. Trust me, it wasn't quicker at all, rather the contrary was true.
However, the current workflow sucks $LARGE through $SMALL_OPENING, I totally agree with that. Manually slugging through dozens of more or less well-structured emails is definitely not the way to go, and for next year I'll have something better ready. Promised.
