: Hello to BCF Lounge members from Gavin Brown, webmaster. I would like to add music files to the BCF website so that visitors to our site can hear our music.

: Valueweb, which is the company we pay to host the BCF website, has a deal to allow us to do this for a price:

: Startup one-time fee: $50
: Per-month fee: $20
: thus, a year cost = 12 mos. X $20 = $240 + $50 = $290 TOTAL

: We can wait and see if R. Hitz, president of the BCF will fund this, but here's a super-quick way to make it all happen: I am proposing that the lounge members contribute this money in the following fashion: I will pre-pay the $290 NOW to get us going for a year if I can get enough BCF lounge members to commit to writing checks, payable to me, to re-imburse me for my expense.

: At present, there are 15 lounge members, counting myself. The amount that each of you would be required to pay depends on how many of you respond "Yes, I'm interested" to this message. If all 15 lounge members are willing to get split the cost, then each of us would pay $19.34. If 10 lounge members respond yes, then each of us would pay $29.00. I'm not interested if less than ten of you are.

: Let's assume for a second that this happens. Here's how it would work after we have it set up:

: 1) You have a composition you would like to have on the website. You will need to give me a digital music file in one of the following formats: AIFF, ULAW, MooV, Mp3, Sd2f, NeXT, RM.
: 2) You can get the file to me best by putting it on a CD and mailing it to me through regular mail. I will do the conversion to web-ready format and take it from there.

: IF YOU ARE INTERESTED AND UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING I'VE SAID:
: This message is being copied to the website lounge WebBoard. Please respond there, NOT to this message. Please post a message in the lounge that says "Yes, I'm interested." This is not a commitment at this point on your part to pay ANYTHING. I'm just polling the lounge membership for interest.

: IF YOU ARE INTERESTED BUT NEED MORE INFORMATION:
: This message is being copied to the website lounge WebBoard. Please ask any questions you have there, DON'T REPLY to this message, so that I can avoid having to answer the same questions multiple times. I will check the lounge at least once daily for questions.

: PLEASE BE AWARE:
: I don't know everything about this whole process. I'll give you the best answers I can, but I am fishing in the dark a little bit on this. If I don't immediately have an answer for a particular question you may have, I will ask ValueWeb and get back to you.

Gavin: I am interested as well.
