I am currently working on putting together the 2009 JT Calendar. This will be the official spot for ideas, feedback and updates for the calendar. My first task is to collect high-resolution images of each months winner for 2008. I sent PMs last week and I've only heard back from a few (thanks ) Also, thanks to Bill I have UTKJinFL, PigPen and LrdJeffson images in super high-res. Below a list of the 2008 JOM winners.

TufrnthNails - 2/08
LrdJeffson - 3/08
WhiteElephant - 4/08
TallJeep - 5/08
Mountain Man - 6/08
PigPen 7/08
Joe Dillard - 8/08
SoilantGreen - 9/08
XJOutKast -10/08
Stinger124 - 11/08
UTKJinFL 12/08

For those on the list who have not replied or send me their pic, please do so as soon as possible. Thank you.

I will be adding the specs of the featured Jeep and photo credit as part of the layout. Eg. Specs: Year of Jeep • Engine • Transmission • Transfer Case • Front Axle • Rear Axle • Suspension • Tires • Additional Mods
I will PM all the JOM winners, but if any of you read this before I do, just PM me with the spec info. thanks.

In the case that a high-res image cannot be located then, as Jim B, suggested we could place the JOM winner on the layout smaller to show the actually winning image and then perhaps a different high res image of the same Jeep.

Either this or also add past winners from previous years. I would like one page reserved at the end for all of the Jeep Of the Years if possible.

Who's the audiance for the calendars? Just members? Sponsors? Local vendors? National vendors and suppliers? Civic organizations (i.e. City of ...) What we include in the calendar might have impact on how these folks perceive SFJC.

Bill,

This is not an SFJC or any particular Jeep club thing, it is a JeepTalk.net Calendar. Keep in mind that some winners (and JT Members) at times are not all from the Florida area.

You bring up a good point with regards to exposure which is always good even to the local area.

I guess will have to wait for GoblinJK and his plan design so we can go over this.

Thanks for the clarification on the wider scope of JeepTalk.net and it's reach beyond SFJC. I'm sure GoblinJK is bringing a lot of good knowledge and experience to this effort and I really look forward to the finished product.

My question of audience was to get everyone thinking how we want to be seen and for that matter who we might want to reach and for what reasons. I really think we have a great opportunity to show the sport, the forum and it's members off superbly.

As this is something new for us I fully agree, let's see what GoblinJK comes up. I know he's got the right stuff and I'm sure he's going to put this on the right track.

Now having said all this I urge my fellow camera men (and women) to get those full rez winning JOM shots into GoblinJK so he can work his magic. Everyone of the JOM shots for 2008 is spectacular and they need to be put to print in all their full rez glory. Now is not the time to be timid or overly modest.

Agree, he has his hands full with this and these guys need to get in gear. Maybe GoblinJK should set a deadline and work with what he has. The Members that don't turn in the full rez will get a short version on that page along with other vehicles or whatever he has planned.

One of the reasons the JOM guidelines just got updated. You comply or you forfeit your win to the next one in line.

Pm sent with my info.

Goblin JK,

Have you been getting the high rez pics from the 2008 winners or are the winners pretty much a bunch of slackers

Maybe we should go futher back in years and let the ones that want to submit a high rez pic be on the calendar.

FYI-Maybe for next year just using the 2009 entries and NEW SHOTS, this might help in people geting together for outings if the 2009 photos are used. I hope I explained it right.

Signed,
Your New/old SFJC member.

Maybe... if not I would buy one for you just so you know what day it is.

This might be too much work and will require code by the hour. A link might be better. Not sure on the ETA of the calendar, ask GoblinJK.
