Repeating yesterday's news:

IFTF says hello to its new president, Justin Bortnick. Justin has been part of the NarraScope committee since we started that up, so he's no stranger to helping run things around here.

And at the same time, goodbye to Jason McIntosh, founding board member of IFTF and its first (and up until now only) president.

Putting together my final @IFTF monthly board meeting agenda as its president; my term ends in a few weeks.

I'll have more to say about it, and more "officially", in the days to come, but I already feel seized by gratitude. I am so happy at how IFTF has grown since 2016, and I know it'll keep growing under fresh leadership.

I feel certain that co-founding this organization will have been one of the best things I did with my life.

Might be getting a second account if #IFTF sets up an instance. Set one or the other as a backup account as this post suggests.

The #InteractiveFictionTechnologyFoundation #IFTF has announced that #Narrascope 2023 will be held June 9 — June 11 at the #UniversityOfPittsburgh! More details coming soon at https://narrascope.org/

@janice_e_ Hi Janice! Yes, there is! At the moment it's a little dispersed and we're finding each other. It's good to put #InteractiveFiction out there, (and your other hashtags are likewise great). #iftf may be getting a server of it's own, but at the moment, hashtags are what we've got!

@JenProf #iftf is in the house
