NEW OSNAGROUP SECOND LIFE

Second meeting: Sunday 6th. March

Dear Osnagroupies,

We will have our second fortnightly meeting tomorrow, Sunday 6th. March.
I have altered the time slightly to enable me to keep another appointment and to make the time work for Kalyan.
It was not possible to arrange for someone to give  us some instruction in  scripting this week , but I have gathered some information for free or cheap online courses/inworld which I will share with you tomorrow. .
At a later date Carol will also share her "sound" scripting - how to make a prim bearing a picture speak the name of what is on it.
Tomorrow, Kalyan hopes to share with us some basic building skills.
And remember - our motto is: "We share our skills with each other".
If you have found something, can do something in SL that we haven't got, don't know about,  cannot do - please share!

Osna Dennis

Greetings,

  FIRST MEETING  SUNDAY 20 February !!!!!!!!

Greetings,

 FIRST  MEETING 

I would personally like this to be a very open group - informal - no officers, constitutions, minutes etc.  just a group where people can meet, chat, ask for suggestions, share knowledge and skills.

I would like it to be a meeting place where pedagogical SL matters as well as more technical issues can be talked about, shared  etc.

How often, rarely we meet is for us collectively to decide.

When we meet will also be our joint decision.

I would like to offer my "Upstairs" platform as our regular meeting place since my reason  for paying for the rent for such a place is precisely the wish to share it in the way I am outlining here.

i would like to call the first meeting next week.  Please indicate your availability in this first table and then complete the second. Thanks for signing up! Times below are GMT

||| Gabriela has kindly set up a Doodle link to help us to decide when to have a meeting this week. I imagine we shall get an automatic request, but I am checking with Daniela. THANKS for doing this.|||s

Can I suggest we talk a little about this on Wednesday at the SLExperiments meeting - I feel there is a degree of crossover and it would be a good idea to discuss whether we need a new group or whether it might not be more effective and sustainable to transform an existing one

Can I also suggest running the same meeting on two different time/dates - I think it is quite important when working with an international group spread across time zones. Having a single time and date means that you inevitably exclude some people - offering a choice means that more people will be able to be involved. For example we could run the same meeting/workshop on a weekend afternoon and also on a weekday evening. Choice is always a good thing; it wouldn't mean a huge amount of extra work for a facilitator but would make a difference to people who would otherwise be unable to participate.

This is an EXCELLENT idea.(Why didn't I think of it?). I shall study the Doodle again and then make a suggestion for a second meeting.   By the way, I have also created a Yahoogroups list which will make communicating easier than this rather clumsy method. But it will take time to feed all names into it.  Osna

Just open the yahoogroup, paste the link here and we'll register. Gabriela
