Summary of the Meeting of July 27th 2008
Attendees: Carbon Sirbu, chieni Beck, Robby Pomeray, Isabell Ewing, Lisa Lowe, Alexa Soyer, Monalisa Robbiani, Mayumi Fride, fr34k Paine, sven Homewood, Shea Slocombe, Carina Raymaker
Meeting:
- Summary of the current project status.
Addition: The current group was not interested in a project based way usually in place for these kind of projects, introductions and sharing ideas with newcomer Lisa. Lisa Lowe 15:02, 27 July 2008 (PDT)
- From now on we are using voice to speed up the meetings. Due to problems with voice we have an additional TeamSpeak server set up for us so we can switch to it when necessary.
Addition: Due to previous decision, Lisa Lowe resigned from this project, not being able to use Voice. Lisa stated: a 'majority vote' (7 voted yes) is not a good base for forcing everyone to using Voice and basically ruling out everyone else interested. Considerations not being able to follow German smalltalk in Voice were neglected. Lisa Lowe 15:02, 27 July 2008 (PDT)
- Summaries of the meetings will be posted to the wiki because of missing transcripts.
Addition: Lisa Lowe added: Voice transcripts are only reflections of what one wants to hear (my additions prove that already). Text transcripts rule that out. Lisa Lowe 15:02, 27 July 2008 (PDT)
- Notecards sent through the German Mentors Group will be forwarded to either Carina or Carbon to ensure communication.
Addition: The group stated "you have to speak German to be able to join the German mentors group". Conclusion: Everyone else will not be able to receive info through this group if not in it (before this?). Lisa Lowe 15:02, 27 July 2008 (PDT)
- Sims will be closed while building works are under way. The fortress will be staying at its current location.
- Estate rights: Only for a small group of experts.
- Question about land/ban rights after the build is finished.
- It is required to be an SL Mentor to join the project's officers group.
- Forwarded list of mentor applicants to Blue Linden to possibly speed up the process.
- Additional OI model presented by fr34k Paine, Monalisa Robbiani and Alexa Soyer.
- The 3d models are now accessible by everyone at Park East.
- Wiki Editing Policy: No editing of content without asking for permission. If you want to add a comment please do so and signature it but please don't delete the previous comment because of yours.
- A company outing to the newbie path built and being built by Carbon Sirbu, called 'Deutsches Tutorium'.

Because most where not able to attend the meeting afterwards. It's basically skipped. Next meeting Sunday July 27, 2008 10am SLT (19:00 in Germany time).
Additional
Monalisa Robbiani findings talking to Jean: Please refer to group notices sent by Ethan and myself to the "German Welcome Area Officers" group (Summary: Land ownership moved to Jean, land set to group, land is public for the time being.)
(Please use the wiki and post the announcements (notices) on here somewhere. Not everyone involved in this project is a member of all those groups (yet). Besides that, lots of notices get lost or are overlooked. Using the wiki can keep everyone up to date. Thanks Lisa Lowe 01:30, 25 July 2008 (PDT))

Summary of the Meeting of July 17th 2008
Please add topics to this summary since it's not complete
General:
- We still need to get metrics on how many new German speaking Residents arrive per day, who choose not to start at a CG. (Will ask Meta Linden tomorrow
- Zai Lynch (talk|contribs) 20:43, 17 July 2008 (PDT))
- Need to send a couple of questions to Jean. Those are:
- Requirements to join the German Welcome Area Officers group (e.g.: are non-mentors allowed?)
- How to apply for the group?
- Is it possible to re-animate the Willkommen Deutschland group in that way that every new Resident who arrives at the GWA becomes automatically added to the group? (New residents would find a community and help there)
- In case the previous point is allowed, is it possible to turn the group into a one way group. So people become added automatically but it is no open enrolement, so spamming is to a minimum. Only new Residents and Mentors can join.
- Is it possible to clean the Willkommen Deutschland group from people who weren't logged in for more then 6 or 12 month? It would make group chat and notices more reliable and speed up the load. (Proposal from Robby & Zai, not part of the meeting).
- Proposal of a revised skill-list using Template:GWA Skills.
- A forum for the GWA Project will be set up in the SL forum (Assignee: Mona).
On OI:
- New Residents should be able to leave the trail at any given moment.
- New Residents should start in a exhibition room/hall which allows them to spot exhibits which advertise parts of SL culture. It should be a motivation on why to continue their virtual life.
- Try to use self explanatory pictures for tutorials (NCI-, Melting Dot- and Metaverse Mentor-style)
- Try to provide examples and connect them with SL culture.
- Show "advanced content" in geeky chamber.
- Avoid restrictions of the regular OIs (limited search, limited map...).
Summary
- Volunteers gotta be nice DAMN IT
- OI should be linear with the opportunity to exit any time.
- New Residents need a reason to stay in (and learn about) SL. A goal or something attractive.
- Provide a reason why Residents should stay and they'll invest time on learning.
- Opinion
- Blue: Showing new Residents the "real" SL is more important then protecting from griefers.
- Lexie: More then OI experience but less than a combat zone too....
- Don't make SL look like a game
- Connect learning with specific examples. Like: "Going to a club" with "how to change clothes", "how to sit", "how to dance"...
- Introduce on how to use the search
- Show that not everything is interactive in SL
