I am the Slingshot Collective...

* Slingshot is a do-ocracy. The more work you do, the more influence you'll have over what is printed in the paper.

* We don't have individual roles like editor or layout artist, but rather, everyone comes to the meetings and does the work until the paper is done

* If you can't attend a meeting, ask someone to proxy for you, that way someone is there to advocate for your topics in your absence.

[All meetings listed are at the Long Haul Infoshop]
