Who
are we when we're at home?

Fatcat
Press at present is a lean operation. As a group we have diverse skills
in publishing and technology, and we swap hats and roles a bit depending
on what is needed. Ellen handles a lot of the behind-scenes work, and
the majority of the editorial work. Steering Committee members chime in
where appropriate, according to the task, and the location. If a conference
or exhibit is the midwestern US, chances are you'll meet Ellen. If elsewhere,
then you'll be likely to encounter other Committee members.

The
Press's Steering Committee, well, steers. Members are about evenly divided

been involved with both.
