Presenting: Community VolunteersA BRIEF OVERVIEW
Over the years, we've been proud to offer the opportunity to volunteer with deviantART. We believe that our volunteers play a crucial role in helping our community develop and grow in positive ways.
The Gallery Moderator (previously known as Gallery Director) and Message Network Admin (MN@) teams have become a much loved and appreciated role, with many volunteers proudly detailing their experience in applications to enter into successful careers with companies who all recognise the value of volunteering in such a vibrant and eclectic community. Did you know that some of our now full time Staff were once volunteers? $fourteenthstar, $Moonbeam13, $pachunka, $aunjuli, $y2jenn, $damphyr, `Tachy-on, $dxd and $Ikue all volunteered in various roles -- and we are all very proud of that fact!
Over the past few months, we've been taking a close look at the volunteer experience -- what's worked, what hasn't worked a

1. Daily Deviations
Recently, I announced changes to Daily Deviations in this journal and I'm happy to say that the response has been favorable. To review, we have made the following changes:
a> The "3-month rule" is now the "6-month rule" meaning an artist cannot receive another DD if they have had one in the last 6 months.
b> Daily Deviation selectors are limited to a maximum of one selection per day. This has been put in place to focus on quality vs quantity.
The hard-coding of these new guidelines is now in place (special thanks to $ZombieCoder for that

).
These changes are part of an ongoing initiative to better our Dai

MovemberAbout Movember
During November each year, Movember is responsible for the broken relationships between men and their razors. Donning their mustaches, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men's health - specifically prostate cancer.
Since its humble beginnings in Melbourne, Australia, Movember has grown to become a truly global movement inspiring more than 1.9 Million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas to participate with formal campaigns in Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, the UK, South Africa, Ireland, Finland, the Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Belgium and the Czech Republic. In addition, Movember is aware of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas supporting the campaign and men’s health cause across the globe, from Russia to Dubai, Hong Kong to Antarctica, Rio de Janeiro to Mumbai, and everywhere in between.
No matter the country or city, Movember will continue to work to change established habits and attitudes men have about their health, to ed

Chaos Panda by $chix0r

We're throwing one panda, one light, one pie up against the incredibly successful Fotolia One Cat, One Fruit, and One Clock Contest. Let's see if our new completely crazed random selection can pull in more than the 10,000 entries we received last time.

Here's the big twist: This time, we're challenging you to use the theme of "plans gone wrong" in
your image.

You must use one each of the specific pandas, lights, and pies provided in the asset pack and create an image showing "plans gone wrong." Your entry can originate in any medium! These are stock pictures. You can trace them, draw them, photomanipu

Seniority Announcement - 11th Birthday EditionThis article celebrates our latest additions of Senior members in our community.
:faq29:
So what does it take to become a Senior? That's a question many have asked and have never really been able to get a straight answer on. Some have gained Seniority as a thank you for their time spent as a Volunteer, or to recognise their contribution to a particular project or collaborative action. Some have gained Seniority because of their community spirit, providing help and assistance to many other deviants and taking time out to promote the work of others in the community.
Some people have received Seniority because of their artistic endevours, having a positive influence on their peers by sharing resources, providing constructive criticism and by being a voice that stands out above the many others who deviate to be recognised in the crowd.
Today, we present to you the following deviants who have all been awarded Seniority as part of our 11th birthday celebrations. They have all been nominated

Artist Relations Newsletter - November 5, 2007

Journals / deviantART, Inc. / Community Relations

Director of Artist Relations

Hello!

The purpose of Artist Relations is to strengthen the community spirit as well as network with fellow artists so that we may bring outside opportunities to you, and help you to hone your skills. The Gallery Directors are the first people you should go to regarding your galleries. They are the people you need to make gallery suggestions to, and ask questions about your specific genre, or seek knowledge from. They also act as your lifeline to the administration. They are here to support and listen, and I can tell you we've got incredibly talented, devoted and passionate people on this team, so get to know them!

News

Firstly.. before we begin. No.. you cannot be removed from a mailing list, this is not spam, and no amount of cursing or calling me names will make it possible for me to stop you from receiving this newsletter. This is a community newsletter, written by community members, for community members and it's part of the free perks you get here at dA. What I will say, is that if you continue to berate me with not very nice notes calling me not very nice names.. I will find a way to send them to you in duplicate just because

Honestly, if you really don't care what's going on in the community, simply remove the notice from your message center and go on with your life. Bear in mind that we tend to announce important changes to the site, it's functionality, policy etc.. and failure to read the information provided doesn't count as a valid excuse should you violate something in the future.

The strains of real life claim two more as `lyastri and `MissShyly leave the AR team. Please thank them for their contributions and wish them well.

I will be bringing on new gallery directors to fill the empty slots however, bear with me as we're in a very busy period right now and I don't want to choose blindly

The other team members will be trying to feature art via DD's for the directorless galleries, so read the updates to find out who is doing what in the interim.

Please join us in welcoming :`Myana to the Artisan Crafts gallery alongside `dedredhed

Please read lolly's The Art of Controversy, as we prepare to tear apart the policy.

My poll here was very helpful and it will be implemented shortly

OMG Suggesting yourself for a daily deviation??? say it ain't so Moonbeam13! Yes.. yes it's so and really I don't see the giant issue. I've heard the complaints and the arguments against it but I don't agree. This is the last of what I coin the 'over the top, unnecessary, self imposed rules for daily deviations' that have been tossed. We try not to DD anyone if they've received one in the last 3 months, we're human, sometimes it happens anyways. However, self suggesting, self-promoting, is a huge part of making it as an artist, why we wouldn't allow that here as well, seems silly to me. Read the article, leave your opinion if you like, but I stand by my thoughts on this one.

I'm still streamlining that Skins and Themes gallery. I unfortunately was very busy and it fell to the side but I'm back on the horse and treading through!

Holidays are coming.. which means.. STUFF IS COMING! and that's all I'm saying

~TranslationChain is a new group I find really interesting, you should check them out!

I think ~Sino has a great idea here and we should see where this can go. We need a stamp and some people who are interested to get involved and do something similar. Let's start a critiquing frenzy. If you make a stamp or decide you want to participate, please note me so I can watch it unfold!

Please help out my team by sending your daily deviation suggestions to one person only. There is great confusion caused when you suggest the same piece to multiple gallery directors. We appreciate it
