Looking Ahead. Maybe. The big discussion here -- and one that will no doubt continue -- is where the at-home dad convention goes from here. There is evidently some question about whether or not the host institution, the generous (if not glamorous) Oakton Community College will continue the tradition. That opens the possibility that the convention would move in time and/or space -- if organizers can make that financially viable. But more importantly and more immediately, the longtime coordinator of the event is stepping down, suggesting that someone with a better perspective on the needs of newer at-home dads take the reins.

I may well set up a wiki page to deal with this, but I'm curious to throw it open to the readership in the comments: Is there still a need for an at-home dad gathering? What should be happening there? Are there folks who you'd like to hear from? Subjects you'd like to see explored?

UPDATE: The wiki page for *next year's convention* is now live at the old wiki site: rebeldad.wikispaces.com. Please contribute.
