Attendees:

Monday (search function) press conference inworld: hoping it’s picked up by inworld press; The Herald editorial staff didn’t know of it until Jessica mentioned it a few times (but they’re—including Mark—are on the list; LL’s going to change the location in future so that it’s more accessible; Prokofy is a great way to get news distributed. Limiting audience to “press only” is okay; but look in to reinstating town hall meetings for communications.
Change of groupsystem, such that implementing different “management-models” is possible, to enable a higher level of democratic decision making with grouptools (rather than working around them) (i.e. currently owners can sell group-owned land without prior approval from the group (models that a group founder can choose between); when that specific model is implemented in that group, owners can be voted off their seat by the membership; what would have to change? the voting method?; a trustworthy grouping system would lead to more people owning land; don’t communize the entire tool just to enforce your sectarian dream; work it out in a small sect—not global tool change;
When will SL run on Vista?
