Programming and Publicity sort of have the majority of what I'd call 'Technical Staff'. That is, those of extremely strong, if somewhat specialized electronics backgrounds and interests. Coordinating "Technical Solutions" without a shared area for discussion can lead to confusion, efforts in incorrect areas, duplicated and under-staffed projects, and solutions that don't quite hit the mark due to lack of input.
What I see is a possible need for a Technical Solutions board under Behind the Scenes.
Typical users of that board would include any Technical Staff, who'd help iron out problem definitions and work on the actual solutions, and any department with a technical need. The registration and infodesk subunits of Operations especially, but operations in general would tend to be more on the technical solution user side of things.
Within the board topics would include things that are obvious solution needs... "Digital Registration System", "Online Event Scheduling System" (Altering and improving the online system we were trying to use this year, and the added-on live schedule viewer. They're close enough to get the job done, but I can already think of a few areas to try improving), "Event Recording methods and publication options discussion". However any department with a problem that could possibly be solved using computers or A/V related equipment could also use the area to brainstorm the scope of the problem and look at solutions for it.
