Irregular Business
This weekend TBAT will post the last "This week" of 2011 and the first of 2012. Members of the community are encouraged to send in items that were missed earlier in the year, posts they are particularly proud of and other items they would like to share with the community in addition to links to posts from the past week.
Regular Business
Don't forget to send in items that you want included in This week in The Slacktiverse December 31 2011 / January 1 2012.
The three sections of the weekend post are:
The Blogaround
Any denizen of the Slacktiverse who has posted an article to their own website during since the previous weekend post is invited to send a short summary of that article along with its permalink to TBAT. That summary and link will be included in the next weekend blogaround. This will help to keep members of our community aware of the many excellent websites hosted by other members.In Case You Missed This
Readers of The Slacktiverse can send short summaries of, and permalinks to, articles that they feel might be of interest to other readers.Things You Can Do
Anyone who knows of a worthy cause or important petition should send a short description of the petition/cause along with its url to TBAT.
Deadlines
Please email all submissions to slackmods at gmail dot com. The deadline this week will be 2000 GMT on Saturday.
Urgent or time-sensitive announcements will be posted immediately rather than being held for the next regular "This Weekend" post.

I sent an e-mail to the TBAT account about a week ago (a submission to appear on the site) and haven't heard anything back. Am I trapped in a spam filter, or have you just not gotten to it yet? (Either is cool, I am in no rush and I know you're busy, I just want to know if I should resend or not.)

No New England Slacktivite Meetup has happened to date. Hoping to have one in the next two months. Any ideas for possible locations and/or field trip ideas much appreciated.

Not sure if this is the right thread or not, but I haven't seen anything about Atheism 101 in quite awhile - may we please have an update on that, if there is one? I hope I didn't miss it but I've looked pretty thoroughly and found nothing.

@Phoenix: We were just discussing it. It is still in editing form.
ETA: There were actually a number of 101s that we were working on including Cultural Appropriation and some of the less well known (in the US) religions.
