[11:06] Janicka Engineer: I would like ask you about group of Zindra Vortex [11:06] Amanda LindenAmanda Linden thinks i picked the wrong time to give up coffee. [11:06] Ginette Pinazzo: (has more coffee) [11:06] Amanda Linden: wel, i'm just getting up to speed myself.... [11:07] Amanda Linden: someone here from zindra vortex to answer janicka's question? [11:07] Hypatia Meili: Blondin is stil owner [11:07] Janicka Engineer: yes I am [11:07] Janicka Engineer: :) [11:07] Amanda Linden: ah [11:07] Ginette Pinazzo: we can address that but maybe later in agenda? [11:07] Amanda Linden: ok, so he owns the zindra vortex land? [11:07] Hypatia Meili: group owner [11:07] Amanda Linden: ah, ok. let's talk offline. [11:07] Amanda Linden: thanks! [11:08] Amanda Linden: ok, next up, zindra expo (zexpo) [11:08] Hypatia Meili: that also goes for Zindra expo group [11:08] Amanda Linden: any updates from gina? [11:08] Ginette Pinazzo: yes [11:08] Amanda Linden: kk, hypatia. [11:08] Ginette Pinazzo: (updates are required on island events)... [11:08] Ginette Pinazzo: https://sites.google.com/site/zexpo2011/home [11:08] Ginette Pinazzo: First, quick mention: I am happy so many are getting involved in ZEXPO, and I hope (in the spirit of cooperation) more and more of you do. This will be a delightfully grand experiment and I hope everyone with positive contributions can take part...... [11:09] Ginette Pinazzo: 5 small items.. [11:09] Ginette Pinazzo: 1. Pre-Parties... [11:09] Ginette Pinazzo: Heaven Lacey has joined the team as our Pre-Party Committee and will help coordinate those parties. Throughout the 2 weeks leading up to ZEXPO's opening, many exhibitors will host Pre-Parties at their own locations (own sims) to cross-promote. ...... [11:09] Ginette Pinazzo: This helps the exhibitor's place and helps ZEXPO,, and it is a great way to build extra interest just before the show. Plus, exhibitors who agree to have a Pre-Party earn extra floorspace at the show........... [11:10] Ginette Pinazzo: questions abt pre-parties or Heaven? [11:10] Ginette Pinazzo: ok.....2. Vehicles.... [11:10] Ginette Pinazzo: We will have enough vehicle options for attendees that I will make a special section in the guidebook and website for them. So far we have a blimp, boats, horses, unicycles, the Floats themselves which are rideable, and maybe little cars. Some options will be free, others rented, maybe to buy......Lots of ways to 'tour' the island. ...... [11:10] Ginette Pinazzo: 3. The Gag..... [11:11] Ginette Pinazzo: One of the exhibitors, Z&A Productions has created an amusing twist on a ZEXPO sign for us to give away. It's a wearable gag that promotes the show. I'll be passing that out in the group soon...... [11:11] Ginette Pinazzo: Thanks to Antony Fairport and Vila Pixelmaid of Z&A Productions for contributing this.......(if anyone wants to model this gag, just ask me)....... [11:11] Dancer Kismet Greenfield: Sounds fun [11:11] Ginette Pinazzo: (looks around for model) [11:12] Ginette Pinazzo: 4. Business Networking....... [11:12] Zacklee Devin: ew ew ew pick me mr kotter [11:12] Ginette Pinazzo: (passes gag to Zack) [11:12] Ginette Pinazzo: One of the best opportunities with a show like this comes from the fact you have many SL businesses gathered in one place. Because of this, I am going to try to make the entire week leading up the show's opening a special Business Networking week, so the showgrounds will have some type of activities that promote inter-business connections. (industry mixers, business card-trading parties, a business networking center?). [11:13] Amanda Linden: when is the show ginette? [11:13] Ginette Pinazzo: The idea is that the exhibitors should really meet each other, connect, share, and find ways to work together. This is a fantastic opportunity and can help promote business growth on Zindra and beyond. I am looking for a person (please volunteer!) to help design programs for this.......so please contact me if Business Networking is your expertise or passion...... AUG 26 Amanda [11:13] Amanda Linden: kk, ty [11:13] Ginette Pinazzo: any questionsm about the Business Netwroking side of things? [11:14] Ginette Pinazzo: ok........ [11:14] Ginette Pinazzo: 5. Finally, Comedy....... [11:14] Ginette Pinazzo: One of our exhibitors is comedian Zacklee Devin, who I feel will add a lot to the show, plus he runs a group called Laugh Limo, which connects us to many of SL's comedians. Connections like this are invaluable and brings us many new people and ideas........ [11:14] Ginette Pinazzo: I also like Zacklee because I am personally on a mission to find a man that can make me laugh.......Zacklee is my quick guest of the day.......... [11:15] Zacklee Devin: aw [11:15] Zacklee Devin: and hes better on voice so bear with me [11:15] Ginette Pinazzo: (report FIN) [11:15] Amanda Linden: :) great update! [11:15] Amanda Linden: thanks ginette & welcome again zacklee. [11:15] Amanda Linden: woot! [11:15] Amanda Linden: checking out the zexpo site--looks ossm. [11:16] Amanda Linden: ok, next is the wiki for new residents. [11:16] Ginette Pinazzo: feel free to heckle the comedian even before he makes any jokes [11:16] Amanda Linden: good news on this one. i just had a meeting on this topic earlier today and it's been escalated. the team is currently scoping the work and i should have an ETA by next week. [11:16] Amanda Linden: but the right folks are on it. [11:16] Zada Bury: Sounds good. [11:17] Amanda Linden: and it's being handled. :) [11:17] Amanda Linden: question? [11:17] Amanda Linden: s [11:17] Hypatia Meili: it real neds 2 basic things [11:17] Zacklee Devin: nerds*? [11:17] Hypatia Meili: instrctionon how to log in & make it cas insensative [11:17] Zacklee Devin: needs? [11:17] Hypatia Meili: case [11:17] Hypatia Meili: yes [11:17] Amanda Linden: yes... [11:17] Amanda Linden: well, the bigger issue is that it should just work. [11:18] Amanda Linden: with single sign on using open id (similar to the lithium platform) [11:18] Amanda Linden: so, we're gonna fix it the right way. [11:18] Innula Zenovka: but until the bigger issue is fixed, why not publicise the work-round? [11:18] Amanda Linden: looks like it could get fixed soon--but don't want to make promises. [11:18] Amanda Linden: :) [11:18] Zada Bury: It works, if the people type right. ^.^ [11:18] Amanda Linden: true true. if i don't have an eta by next week that is reasonable, then we'll do the work around. [11:19] Counter Landfall: so it just needs an additional line of explanatory text [11:19] Hypatia MeiliHypatia Meili cant type right :p [11:19] Zacklee Devin: wud wrung der tuping lock fin to me [11:19] Amanda Linden: understood. but it's not my call.... [11:19] Amanda Linden: so, one more week and maybe it will even be fixed. :) [11:19] Amanda Linden: ok, age verification vid. [11:19] Amanda Linden: we took it down. [11:20] Counter Landfall: we will hold it to you ;-) [11:20] Amanda Linden: you're right. it's wrong and shouldn't have been up there. [11:20] Innula Zenovka: thanks.. [11:20] Amanda Linden: so, we took it down and we need to make sure that the knowledge base articles are correct. [11:20] Amanda Linden: so, take a look at both of htem that i linked in the agenda and make sure.... [11:20] Amanda Linden: you all are the best folks to QA our work. :) [11:20] Amanda Linden: if you see inaccuracies, then email me at amanda@lindenlab.com and i'll make sure that the articles are updated/fixed. [11:21] Innula Zenovka: will do [11:21] Amanda Linden: fab. and thanks for flagging this for us. [11:21] Ginette Pinazzo: thanks [11:21] Amanda Linden: sure thing. [11:21] Ginette Pinazzo: we are ever-vigilant..haha [11:21] Amanda Linden: ok, next is gina with vortex tweaks, unless there are any questions for me.... [11:21] Amanda Linden: love it! [11:21] Amanda Linden: need extra eagle eyes--for sure. [11:21] Couldbe: I have a couple that are AOB [11:21] Ginette Pinazzo: ok... [11:21] Ginette Pinazzo: BBQBill is still on vacation. He asked me just to ask you, Amanda, if you received his brief message about the few glitches at the Vortex and if there is any movement on that. Those are a few techy glitches that need to be fixed before we can move on with the rest of the Vortex development (which isn't too much in total). The items such as Janicka mentioned are critical, though we need to fix these glitches asap. [11:22] Couldbe: do you want to do them now or after [11:22] Amanda Linden: um, lemme see--last week was nuts. [11:22] Amanda Linden: i'll look for his email after this meeting and get on it. [11:22] Ginette Pinazzo: if you cant find it, I have a CC [11:22] Amanda Linden: :) sorry. a few emails seemed to have slipped through the cracks. [11:22] Amanda Linden: ok, cool. [11:23] Amanda Linden: yep, and fixing the groups issue is easy peasy. [11:23] Ginette Pinazzo: bascially, the autoreturn doesnt always work, and abilities of the staff dont always work [11:23] Amanda Linden: but i would like to better understand what my responsibilities would be as I can't guarantee that i can be as hands on as blondin was. [11:23] Amanda Linden: in fact, i knwo that i can.t [11:23] Janicka Engineer: and we have also in last time troubles with griefers [11:23] Amanda Linden: as much as the commnunity can manage independently.... [11:24] Hypatia Meili: ablities wil depend on group and land setings [11:24] Amanda Linden: gosh, whatever you can do on your end would be great and then i can just be here for support. [11:24] Amanda Linden: ok, let's set up a sep meeting to discuss vortex. need to understand more. [11:24] Amanda Linden: zap me some times when you're avail. [11:24] Ginette Pinazzo: Amanda, Ill get the CC for you...and then, later......1v1 so you know where the development styands [11:24] Zacklee Devin: Amanda....I love your use.....of...well....dots... [11:24] Amanda Linden: later in teh week--thurs and fri is pretty open. [11:24] Amanda Linden: thank you...zacklee. [11:24] Amanda Linden: haha [11:25] Amanda Linden: cool? [11:25] Ginette Pinazzo: fab [11:25] Amanda Linden: fab back at ya! [11:25] Zada Bury: It looks familiar like me ... I doings also often. ^.^ [11:25] Amanda Linden: ok, and the next item is catch up stuff for me. [11:25] Amanda Linden: that i need to read. :) [11:26] Amanda Linden: ginette is handing out homework assignments. :) [11:26] Zada Bury: Was poked by someone ... *whistles* [11:26] Amanda Linden: will look at this stuff this week and note in the comments when i have. [11:26] Counter Landfall: Amanda, I just wanted to make sure you got the meo from ZA last week? [11:26] Ginette Pinazzo: well....spoem of it repetateive....but its good to refersh...plus i strung many thinsg together in one narrative so it shoudl be interesting [11:26] Counter Landfall: memo* [11:26] Amanda Linden: yes counter, i did. [11:26] Counter Landfall: good [11:26] Amanda Linden: :) [11:27] Amanda Linden: i understand where folks are coming from--got several notes. [11:27] Amanda Linden: the thing is--we're all here as one team. [11:27] Counter Landfall: it is probably better to first discuss in a ZA meeting woith the group [11:27] Amanda Linden: kk [11:27] Ginette Pinazzo: ok..here is yoru Catch Up, Amandfa.....get ready to copy [11:27] Amanda Linden: not gonna get into it. [11:27] Amanda Linden: kk, ginette go for it [11:27] Ginette Pinazzo: this covers, bascially....Zindra Sim / Promenade / Photo Event [11:27] Ginette Pinazzo: A story in 8 segments:...... [11:28] Ginette Pinazzo: 1. First, realize there is a region on the mainland of Zindra CALLED Zindra. This 'Zindra sim' has been a real marketing nightmare and its been a hot topic here. People search Zindra on the map and think that sim is all of it. I've spoken to many (not newbies either) who think Zindra is a tiny no-traffic sim and dont know anymore than that. [11:28] Dancer Kismet Greenfield: }0╛with dots? [11:28] Ginette Pinazzo: 2. Directly after ZEXPO 2010 ended (last April) the producer of that show went on to propose she move her ZEXPO content (a stage and other elements) onto the Zindra sim to create a large continuing marketing effort that would inhabit that sim. ...... [11:29] Ginette Pinazzo: The plan was refused by almost all of this community for a few reasons: .... [11:29] Ginette Pinazzo: a) it was an obvious move to continue the same abuse of LL land that person had done at ZEXPO 2010, and would not be a neutral, fair space as a result. ....... [11:29] Ginette Pinazzo: b) the plan may have looked pretty, (there were some nice designs) but it was all surface: it didnt indicate how the program would be managed, how it was sustainable, or even do-able........ [11:29] Counter Landfall: Ginette, please [11:29] Counter Landfall: do not rewrite histiry [11:29] Ginette Pinazzo: c) because of the Zindra name issue, I argued (and many agreed, including Blondin) that NO marketing materials should exist there yet, and that the space should remain a civic, informational-only space as long as the name problem existed and as long as we still lacked a system to actually run such a program........ [11:30] Ginette Pinazzo: countre, let me finish...there are records for all of this.... [11:30] Counter Landfall: indeed [11:30] Ginette Pinazzo: 3. With this decision, Blondin then did 2 things: [11:30] Counter Landfall: and they are not like your story :-) [11:30] Ginette Pinazzo: a) He asked me to develop a version of the already in-use ZEXPO Island Seasonal Events Campaign (that he himself helped write, by the way) that would work for smaller, more frequent events at the Zindra Sim. (if we ever did have events there) [11:31] Ginette Pinazzo: This was going to be much more complicated than a 4-large-events-in-one-year plan, and I knew that, so there was no rush to develop it. I spent a LONG time writing a proposal that would be fair, neutral and most of all, do-able! (because getting 4 large events approved by LL a year is actually much simpler than getting a continuous stream of smaller events approved.....a lot more to it) I consulted with many to get a good proposal.' [11:31] Ginette Pinazzo: the 2nd thing Blondin did... [11:31] Ginette Pinazzo: b) Blondin also worked with us to develop some basic informational content to put at the Zindra Sim. A touchable map (thanks to Qie) and notecard givers at a forced landing point. Yes, its not fancy but it does help with those people who TP in not realizing they are on an entire continent called Zindra. [11:32] Couldbe: quick, call the fire dept!! we have a burning martyr!! [11:32] Ginette Pinazzo: 4.As I worked on the proposal for the smaller/medium events, it occurred to me there is something basic that MUST be done FIRST before I even think to propose it. Whether or not Zindra Sim ever gets marketing material, this issue must come first: [11:32] Zacklee Devin: smoking hot avatars also tho [11:32] Ginette Pinazzo: what does that mena coulbe? [11:33] Ginette Pinazzo: https://sites.google.com/site/zindrabusiness/home/zindra-sim-name-change [11:33] Ginette Pinazzo: In short, the sim needs a name change. We discussed various options (Zindra Gateway, etc), keeping 'Zindra' in there for search reasons, but making it more specific so people don't get confused with the actual mainland's name. You must realize, putting any marketing materials there or events would be a real abuse of LL land because people go there as a point of first contact when they search Zindra mainland. They shoudnt be seeing any form of advertising. (believe me, I love commercial Marketing, but I know where it belongs and doesnt belong) [11:33] Ginette Pinazzo: Blondin approved the name-change concept, but no name was chosen yet. [11:33] Ginette Pinazzo: ...... [11:33] Ginette Pinazzo: 5. We proposed something called the Four Corners of Zindra, which is a big-picture plan containing most of the many things discussed over the past year in one organized package, Blondin approves this plan 100% (I know because we asked him many times over). [11:33] Sissy Blitz: I tried to get involved in Community Events but you removed all my things Ginette and then bullied me I feel I can not participate in any events you hold because of Conflict of interest [11:33] Sissy Blitz: Good day all [11:34] Counter Landfall: that was your plan mostly [11:34] Amanda Linden: sissy, no backbiting or drama. [11:34] Counter Landfall: and the community did not want the name changhe [11:34] Ginette Pinazzo: Amanda..I will stop right now. Im not goingt o tolerate lies against myu character in public anymore [11:34] Amanda Linden: that goes for everyone. [11:34] Counter Landfall: we did the name change of that sim a year before [11:34] Counter Landfall: before anone had seen traces of you [11:34] Amanda Linden: ok, counter, want to share more? your turn [11:34] Counter Landfall: besides the materail there is pathetic [11:34] Vick Forcella: Greetings, all still alive? [11:35] Zada Bury: We have talk about the Name change, but it was "on hold" still, if I remember right. [11:35] Ginette Pinazzo: thats it. I have seen chacaretr defamation against me from counter already this week. i dotn need to heart it here [11:35] Counter Landfall: a a handout to age verify [11:35] Counter Landfall: well do, to get there you ahve to be age verified [11:35] Couldbe: we did the name change originally because the original zindra sim was out in the ocean [11:35] Counter Landfall: and the link to zexpo [11:35] Couldbe: why is this coming up again?? [11:36] Amanda Linden: ok, lemme see if i understand.... [11:36] Ginette Pinazzo: if you think is acceptable to insult in public...at meetings...then I have no place at table with your likes... [11:36] Counter Landfall: mostly becase some individuals feel they need to run Zindra [11:36] Ginette Pinazzo: counter, couldbe..you want to derail this? [11:36] Amanda Linden: ok, there is an area called zindra in zindra continent. no marketing. [11:36] Counter Landfall: no, we dont want the name change [11:36] Amanda Linden: just a first landing spot. [11:36] Vick Forcella: Ginette, Counter.. Time out [11:36] Amanda Linden: guys, stop. [11:36] Counter Landfall: we discussed this in 2009 [11:36] Ginette Pinazzo: I am trying to catch Amanda on big stuff....this is intense...stop adding confusion..wait until AFTER [11:37] Amanda Linden: let me see if i understad. [11:37] Amanda Linden: everyone, take a deep breath. [11:37] Amanda Linden: i guess my question is this. [11:37] Counter Landfall: and ww said last time this was discussed that ZA as a group dont want it to change [11:37] Amanda Linden: what do you need from me on this topic? [11:37] Amanda Linden: it sounds like it's background, but there isn't an ask... [11:37] Couldbe: yes. and the reason we have a region called zindra is that when people search using the map there's not way to find continents so we have a region to get people to us [11:37] Couldbe: simple [11:37] Ginette Pinazzo: Amnada...allwe need is for you to digets the story.,..then onjce youve got it, peoepl can say whatever... [11:37] Counter Landfall: exactly Couldbe [11:38] Couldbe: we had people landind in the ocean when it was originally set up. now at least they land on land [11:38] Ginette Pinazzo: they are wroing Amada.... [11:38] Counter Landfall: Qie here delivered a proposal for the sim a few meetings ago [11:38] Hypatia Meili: How about a simple sign at LP text over a map, at leas till other isues are resolved [11:38] Couldbe: now can we *PLEASE* put this one to bed again [11:38] Zada Bury: We have on "Zindra" (continent) the "Zindra" (Sim). Our idea is: Peaople hear about "Zindra, adult land", want TP there and landing "somewhere". We wanted it to use as kind of advertise. [11:38] Counter Landfall: which is ammuch better startign point for a discussion about the Zindra sim [11:38] Ginette Pinazzo: it WAS put to bed, and Blondin agreed with what i am saying....stop revising [11:38] Qie: just to explain a bit more about the Zindra sim. Molly's build there is mostly complete, but it was designed for a Luna Oaks-like lotteried vendor space. So... eventually, *something* needs to change, unless we revert to that lottery plan again. [11:38] Janicka Engineer: couner I watch Zindra ocean every day on map and I dont see too much avatars here [11:39] Counter Landfall: Blodin is unfortunately not here more Ginette [11:39] Ginette Pinazzo: Amanda.....undertsand these peoepl woitn let my presentation finish, and have derailed this topic [11:39] Amanda Linden: ok, gues what. [11:39] Ginette Pinazzo: yes Counter...anmd you are exploting the situation of his departure [11:39] Amanda Linden: you guys need to stop. [11:39] Amanda Linden: this is not productive. [11:39] Huntress Catteneo: I think all shoulfd be quiet except Amanda right at this moment [11:39] Amanda Linden: thanks huntress [11:39] Counter Landfall: what is not productive Amandfa is that Ginette will not let anyone but herself have any say in Zindra [11:39] Janicka Engineer: I really dont understand what counter is taget [11:40] Amanda Linden: i'm here to understand your needs now--backstory is nice, but not something that is necessarily good for a group meeting. [11:40] Janicka Engineer: target [11:40] Zada Bury: http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/funny-pictures-fighting-cats-constructive-feedback.jpg [11:40] Amanda Linden: i'm happy to read backgounds--outside of htis meeting (which was my plan) [11:40] Amanda Linden: unless there is a change/ask that the gropu needs to discuss.... [11:40] Amanda Linden: then i iwll move on. [11:40] Ginette Pinazzo: I can jump to the acton itesm...there are bascially 3 [11:40] Ginette Pinazzo: but they wont make much sense without the background [11:41] Amanda Linden: ok.... [11:41] Amanda Linden: what are the action items? or items to discuss as a group? [11:41] Ginette Pinazzo: ....We have a Promenade to talk about, thats an integral (but certainly complex) part of the Four Corners. I am hoping we can do a 1v1 and really play catch up on that. [11:41] Vick ForcellaVick Forcella leaves [11:41] Ginette Pinazzo: (the Four Corners of Zindra is an overall initiatve agreed upon months ago) [11:41] Amanda Linden: ok, ginette... [11:42] Amanda Linden: and this goes for everyone... because this is impt. [11:42] Vick Forcella: Bye all. seen enough :) [11:42] Counter Landfall: Cheers Vick [11:42] Amanda Linden: i am here to help you guys solve issues and grow your communities. [11:42] Janicka Engineer: bye vick [11:42] Amanda Linden: i cannot be hands on like blondin was. [11:42] Ginette Pinazzo: .....We have a Photo Event to talk about (a good next step would literally be setting up a 1v1 with Sabra and Amanda so the new series can be previewed. I think that would be inspirational)) [11:42] Ginette Pinazzo: (Sabra Hemingway...our featured Zindra photographer this season) [11:42] Amanda Linden: you guys need to run your own communities and this is an opportunity to meet up to discuss larger issues that effect everyone and how LL can help/support your work. [11:43] Counter Landfall: Agreed Amanda [11:43] Ginette Pinazzo: I know you cannto be hands-on Amanda. I apprecaiet that. But its important you know what the picture is before doing any one task, no? [11:43] Amanda Linden: unfortunately, i just cannot get into the details of your sims.... [11:43] Amanda Linden: ok... [11:43] Counter Landfall: but with the setup of the Zexpo group Ginette thinks she represents the community [11:43] Amanda Linden: so what can the Lab help you with? [11:43] Counter Landfall: while it is in fact a Linden group [11:44] Amanda Linden: i think that's something that is worth discussing.... [11:44] Janicka Engineer: I thing that first importnant thing is finish of Zindra mentors team [11:44] Amanda Linden: I cannot run the Zexpo. [11:44] Amanda Linden: i'll make a mess of it. [11:44] Amanda Linden: :) [11:44] Counter Landfall: and do you by policy run community groups? [11:44] Amanda Linden: it's much better in your collective hands. [11:44] Ginette Pinazzo: stop it counter...there are not only rtwo tyoes of groups in the world [11:45] Amanda Linden: we do not run community groups...but support importnat groups in the community. [11:45] Counter Landfall: I am asking Amanda of their policy for community groups [11:45] Hypatia Meili: the problem cam down to nobody could even agree on who would over see the process on pickin who chairs any such meetings [11:45] Amanda Linden: we do run small user groups to help us get feedback on the product. [11:45] Counter Landfall: thanks Amanda [11:45] Ginette Pinazzo: and zexpo group is waht it is......an efefctive group that connects with LL [11:45] Amanda Linden: but when it comes to the community groups--they are run by the community and we'r ehere to help. [11:45] Zada Bury: That was in the past, mostly. The "ZEXPO-Group" was the group to "rule" the event-island (the 4 sims). [11:45] Counter Landfall: then the zexpo group needs to be run as an event grooup only [11:46] Amanda Linden: yes. [11:46] Ginette Pinazzo: no counter...that is YOUR asserion [11:46] Amanda Linden: LL cannot run the group. [11:46] Amanda Linden: it's true ginette. [11:46] Amanda Linden: i cannot run groups and it's much better in your hands (as a group) [11:46] Ginette Pinazzo: well its an LL owned group, at the very least [11:46] Amanda Linden: that's easy enough to change. [11:46] Amanda Linden: and it will need to [11:46] Counter Landfall: what is this hangup on LL groups Ginette? [11:46] Rayna: rotate -- like the UN [11:46] Hypatia Meili: wait! does tha mean we can not share news though it on Zindra issues. the groupcontains many zindrans [11:47] Ginette Pinazzo: no hangup counter..youve bene hungup trying to stop everything we do [11:47] Amanda Linden: of course you can. [11:47] Amanda Linden: but LL will not be the group leader. [11:47] Counter Landfall: I am glad to hear that Amanda [11:47] Counter Landfall: then we can get back to building community [11:47] Hypatia Meili: well thats counter issue he want , he want allchat notices etc tobe only abot zexpo period [11:47] Amanda Linden: ok, am i making sense. [11:47] Hypatia Meili: asa rule [11:47] Amanda Linden: yes, it's your community, not LL's [11:47] Qie: well... [11:47] Counter Landfall: great [11:48] Ginette Pinazzo: you might be making sense! I hope so [11:48] Amanda Linden: in fact, that may be a reason why you might have been feeling stifled. [11:48] Amanda Linden: you own it. [11:48] Amanda Linden: not us [11:48] Amanda Linden: take it and fly! [11:48] Amanda Linden: :) [11:48] Counter Landfall: It is Amanda [11:48] Qie: the problem may be that the ZEXPO and other sims belong to LL... so... some concern about LL retaining oversight of events / content on those sims. [11:48] Counter Landfall: it has been impossible to compete with free sims and whatnot [11:48] Amanda Linden: well, the sims being LL means that we pay for them. [11:48] Amanda Linden: that's all. [11:48] Janicka Engineer: Amanda I have one idea [11:48] Amanda Linden: sure [11:49] Amanda Linden: and all continents are LL (fyi) [11:49] Ginette Pinazzo: you asked to mhave events on those samer 'free sim's counter.....dotn even try it [11:49] Janicka Engineer: I wozld like change owner of Zindra Expo on new owner [11:49] Janicka Engineer: on Ginette [11:49] Janicka Engineer: it is possible? [11:49] Amanda Linden: i suppose that it's up for a vote. [11:49] Amanda Linden: it's up to you all, not me. [11:49] Zacklee Devin: make the new owner draw a sword from a stone or something.... [11:49] Ginette Pinazzo: how would that affect the fact the sims (vortex., islamnd etc) are LL-owned lands? implications? [11:49] Janicka Engineer: that can neutralizied this stupid war [11:49] Counter Landfall: if anythign make multple owners [11:50] Amanda Linden: i can look into those details ginette. [11:50] Hypatia Meili: you need to udersatnd all permision issues [11:50] Hypatia Meili: amanda [11:50] Amanda Linden: that stuff is easy to work out.... [11:50] Ginette Pinazzo: and in the midts of projects (liek ZEXPO etc) is it safe to even mnake such a change? [11:50] Counter Landfall: that is rather useful in group setups [11:50] Hypatia Meili: or it wil ciple land use [11:50] Hypatia Meili: cripple [11:50] Amanda Linden: well, i'm sure you guys will teach me what i don't know. :) [11:50] Amanda Linden: i gatehr this group isn't shy. :) [11:50] Amanda Linden: (why i like you guys!) [11:50] Counter Landfall: it will not make any change to the land use as long as it is set to the group [11:51] Counter Landfall: LL can reclaim the land at any tike if the need to [11:51] Huntress Catteneo: owner of actual chat/announcement group needs to be nuetral, hard call here atm [11:51] Amanda Linden: the other thing is that Ll can own the land and then there can be estate managers who have permissions, etc. [11:51] Amanda Linden: right? [11:51] Counter Landfall: yes [11:51] Amanda Linden: exactly. [11:51] Zada Bury: On mainland? [11:51] Qie: ummm... but the Mainland is all one estate, afaik [11:51] Counter Landfall: of course [11:51] Amanda Linden: ok, is there a neutral person that you all trust has the best interest of all groups? [11:52] Zada Bury: Agree to Qie. [11:52] Couldbe: If it's a LL group then only LL should be sending announcements - the expo group has been prone to spam announcements in the past and it's best to block access to all [11:52] Counter Landfall: it is jsut a configuration issue in the sim [11:52] Amanda Linden: someone natural? if not, i can set up a poll [11:52] Amanda Linden: or a survey. [11:52] Couldbe: ah yes, because they're never gamed [11:52] Ginette Pinazzo: Amanda...you might want t6o meditate on it..because the orif=ginal intent was to have a LL-owend groupo because of 'netrality'...so indiviuudual resident-run groups didhnt abuse LL resources.....just a point to remember back in the mind [11:52] Amanda Linden: coudlbe--i cannot own the group. [11:52] Hypatia Meili: that was the intiual problem Blondin never set up poll [11:52] Amanda Linden: well, that means that you guys have to choose someone that you trust. [11:53] Counter Landfall: as I said, have 3 owners perhaps [11:53] Zada Bury: Maybe thing a week about, also about the technical backgrounds. [11:53] Hypatia Meili: so no one could decide who would deceide [11:53] Dancer Kismet Greenfield: Voting won't find a neutral person, it just splits factions... a neutral person is the one nobody votes for [11:53] Ginette Pinazzo: teh group will need , out of neccsity to have central, communication...that includes nOtuices [11:53] Counter Landfall: with fiar representation in the community [11:53] Huntress Catteneo: I doubt there will be someone all trust sadly [11:53] Couldbe: why not? It's your group, your land and for notices the number that should be sent should mean you shouldn't have to spend more than 10 minutes a week on a busy week [11:53] Counter Landfall: fair* [11:53] Amanda Linden: what do you say? [11:53] Amanda Linden: who will be fair to everyone? [11:53] Huntress Catteneo: this rift from what I know it a long run one [11:53] Amanda Linden: someone who knows the personalities and will passionately represent all. [11:53] Ginette Pinazzo: this rift is not an even splitt eitehr [11:54] Amanda Linden: well, ginette/counter... [11:54] Amanda Linden: i may get you both together sep. and work this thing out. [11:54] Zacklee Devin: puts in his nun outfitt and tryies to look Fair ( aw they'll never fall for it) [11:54] Ginette Pinazzo: as it satnbds now, ZE is a very highlya ctive and dynamic group [11:54] Amanda Linden: it's holding both of your groups back. [11:54] Zada Bury: I think the most here are associated with someone other ... so ... we got fractions. [11:54] Amanda Linden: seriously. [11:54] Counter Landfall: I agree Amanda [11:54] Amanda Linden: you guys spend more time hating on each other than discussing real issues. [11:54] Counter Landfall: I am game to have a discussion how to sort this out [11:54] Amanda Linden: sorry to call you on teh mat. [11:54] Couldbe: I'm a faction of 1 because I pretty well detest you all but I wouldn't want to do it [11:54] Amanda Linden: but, that's hwat i'm here for [11:55] Counter Landfall: but a group like that should have 3 owners [11:55] Ginette Pinazzo: I actually disagree Amanda...we get a lot done typically....texcpet at these meetings..haha [11:55] Amanda Linden: ha couldbe. :) [11:55] Counter Landfall: so it cannot be easily hijacked [11:55] Amanda Linden: well, then you're losing out on teh opportunity to have LL help. [11:55] Amanda Linden: if these meetings aren't productive, then we can stop having them. [11:55] Amanda Linden: i'm serious [11:55] Amanda Linden: either we work together or we end htem. [11:55] Zada Bury: Mmmm ... well .. a "team" as group-owner would be better, also for the case of a needed backup. [11:56] Amanda Linden: i agree zada. [11:56] Couldbe: amanda - time is running short and i have a couple of quick questions that I'd like to ask [11:56] Amanda Linden: ok, couldbe. [11:56] Janicka Engineer: I tghout that we are adult people on adult land :-/ [11:57] Amanda Linden: actually, couldbe--can you email me sep or save it for the next meeting?> [11:57] Couldbe: the first one - do you know if they've been tinkering with gsa6 search again - particularly for adult? [11:57] Amanda Linden: i really want to get agreement that we're all on the same team and will work together. [11:57] Amanda Linden: or,would people rather not have these meetings. [11:57] Janicka Engineer: I will hope [11:57] Ginette Pinazzo: I have been trying tpo gather cooperation with ZA from day one......they have alwssy resisted...will they change tuen now? [11:58] Amanda Linden: ok, here's this... [11:58] Couldbe: if you'd stop playing games and trying to manipulate situations to your advantage you might find people are more receptive ginette. [11:58] Counter Landfall: we need the meetings Aamnda, but as to my memo, I believe there are issues between LL and this community tat has been stuck under the carpet for too long [11:58] Huntress Catteneo: the perception of a lot getting done is slightly flawed, many do not take part due to the clashes, so it is not a good cross section opf people [11:58] Amanda Linden: if you want to work int he spirit of partnership and community then say yes. if not say no. i want everyone to respond. slap me some yes or no's. [11:58] Counter Landfall: and that we need to discuss, rahter than hear the details of zexpo every meeting [11:58] Amanda Linden: yes [11:58] Amanda Linden: come on. [11:58] Huntress Catteneo: yes [11:58] Janicka Engineer: ok I propose one thhing [11:58] Amanda Linden: yes or no. it's a leap of faith. what you believe... [11:59] Janicka Engineer: create new group [11:59] Janicka Engineer: for all [11:59] Liisa Runo: yes [11:59] Gothica Actor: *not with in the group, so I will pass* [11:59] Zada Bury: "ACUG" [11:59] Ginette Pinazzo: yes for what, Amanda? to cooperate? of course yes [11:59] Janicka Engineer: with some neutral owner [11:59] Couldbe: a new events group sounds good to me [11:59] Zacklee Devin: was just here for comic relif [11:59] Amanda Linden: i lke that idea too. [11:59] Counter Landfall: KJanicka anyone can create a group [11:59] Amanda Linden: a new group--a new start. [11:59] Zacklee Devin: did i miss my cue? [11:59] Qie: Amanda, to the new group: yes. [11:59] Dancer Kismet Greenfield: Zindra Comic Relief Group? [11:59] Hypatia Meili: yes [11:59] Counter Landfall: Amanda just said she will not run a community group, yes? [11:59] Zacklee Devin: I am trying to rent out an extra room so i put an add in the paper and this girl came to look she like it and asked what I WAS asking for the room, so i told her one sixty nine a week. I think she miss understood me or something she tried to give me money...( pause for laughter) [12:00] Amanda Linden: zacklee..thanks for comic relief. [12:00] Hypatia Meili: why just co-opt blodins , chang whats needed [12:00] Amanda Linden: ok, here's an option.... [12:00] Zada Bury: We have the zindra allaicne ... but that isn't a group for everyone. the Zexpo-group is a event grou p--- we need a real central zindra-group ... and for adult content [12:00] Hypatia Meili: linden powers [12:00] Amanda Linden: what if we created the adult community board [12:00] Amanda Linden: with leaders from all the different groups. [12:00] Amanda Linden: a neutral space. [12:01] Counter Landfall: Blondin had the same idea [12:01] Amanda Linden: like the UN. [12:01] Counter Landfall: :-)) [12:01] Amanda Linden: :) [12:01] Ginette Pinazzo: thats what these meeting were supposed to be originally.... [12:01] Counter Landfall: hehe like they agree [12:01] Hypatia Meili: tht zepo grouphas a membership - just revamp it [12:01] Gothica Actor: *sounds interesting* [12:01] Hypatia Meili: zexpo [12:01] Janicka Engineer: I have idea for new name "Adult Zindra People" [12:01] Amanda Linden: ok, let's pick this up where we left off for next week. [12:01] Janicka Engineer: for this group [12:01] Amanda Linden: think this has some legs. [12:01] Amanda Linden: :) [12:01] Amanda Linden: as they say [12:01] Dancer Kismet Greenfield: Or Zindra Adult People, that's ZAP [12:02] Amanda Linden: you guys good with that? [12:02] Counter Landfall: yep [12:02] Zada Bury: Yes, much, [12:02] Amanda Linden: ok, cool. will add this one to agenda. [12:02] Counter Landfall: thx [12:02] Zada Bury: Saves me the line ^.^ [12:02] Amanda Linden: glad that most everyone is on board! [12:02] Amanda Linden: thanks all. glad we got some tough stuff out on teh table. [12:02] Amanda Linden: healthy discussion [12:02] Ginette Pinazzo: I woudl liek to know the implicatiosn of switching or adding groups.....as it may affetc many hundreds of peoepl [12:03] Amanda Linden: let's discuss next week. [12:03] Innula Zenovka: is this primarily a group for Adult Content or for Zindra, this new group? [12:03] Amanda Linden: i'm thinking more about a smaller private group....not a public one. [12:03] Amanda Linden: let's discuss next week since we're out of time.... [12:03] Zada Bury: *whispers* appointements ... you see she is boss, becasue she not need to hurry on the leave [12:03] Qie: thanks Amanda. [12:03] CouldbeCouldbe sighs heavily [12:03] Innula Zenovka: thanks [12:03] Amanda Linden: thanks all. [12:03] Janicka Engineer: thanks amanda [12:03] Zada Bury: Thank you Amanda. Then until the next week. [12:03] Counter Landfall: Zindra is big enough as a community on its own, but there is a wider set of adult content issues [12:04] Ginette Pinazzo: goodbye Amanda [12:04] Counter Landfall: cheers Aamanda [12:04] Dancer Kismet Greenfield: Bye Amanda [12:04] Hypatia Meili: bye amanda [12:04] Counter Landfall: so adult is not equal with Zindra only
