Meeting addendum

The image above was taking Thursday night while I was exploring New Toulouse during the New Toulouse Library grand opening party. This is an area to put on your list of interesting places to visit....it is based on Louisiana/New Orleans style and building, lots of quality building, neat details, interesting shops and artists.

Actually wrote up some follow up stuff from the meeting yesterday to go with that heading "great meeting but what happend to the agenda" but then accidently deleted it! Arrggghhhh....

Is this blog working for you all for communication, or would you rather receive emails? Also, please consider posting something about your "adventures" in SL....share your insights, places you were impressed with, tips you pick up etc.

With the holiday weekend coming up etc. I suggest we not meet for a couple of weeks but instead I would encourage you all to try and set aside AT LEAST TWO HOURS for exploring etc. The next time we meet I'm hoping we can get started on identifying specific projects and goals, but that means you will have to continue doing some learning on your own. Any time you are in SL a great place to go for assistance and to meet really cool library folks is the reference desk at Info International.

GROUP JOINING: I strongly encourage you to stop by Info International and join at least one of the library groups listed there....you will get in-world notices of events etc. I belong to Second Life Librarians, Kansas Librarians in SL, Informaniacs, Info Groupies and Caledon Libraries.

How did the day/time work for you all? Shall we plan to meet again at the same time on a Tuesday? I have meetings on the 8th and 15th, so I wouldn't be able to do it on a Tuesday until
July 22. Is that too long?

If you want me to meet with you "in world" for practice sessions, explorationg etc. just let me know.

6/26/08 Meeting minutes

Lorie Hyten, Tina Barnes, Steve Nielson, Angela Parks, Sara Eccles
(first attempt at using voice chat to conduct a meeting. Getting settings up and going initially took some time but otherwise it seemed to work quite well. “in-world” location was the OPL library.)

Agreed the revised mission statement and goals will suffice for now. Lorie will see about getting the revision to sim manager Teo.

Lorie will be meeting with Bill and Cindy Sowers (Rocky and Cindy) probably early next week to discuss the collaborative project between OPL and the state library and Topeka.

The new visitor counter seems to be working but Lorie and Sonja are still testing it to see if it is reporting the right numbers.

Rocky stopped in for a brief visit and complained about there being no donuts.

Everyone seems to have received their invite for the SL Librarians Google Group.

No action taken on the web links, slide shows, photo uploads or interior decoration and no date set for a grand opening party. The committee spent much of the meeting practicing new skills.

I like the blog. I should try to subscribe to the RSS in my email, then I will have the best of both worlds. I think the 29th will work for me. Nothing on my claendar currently.
