Eliza Madrigal: OK... have just given out the suggested Peace Day notecard...
Eos Amaterasu: ty, Eliza - mum's the word
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eliza Madrigal: This is just for the day... so should be deleted afterward to avoid later confusion
Eliza Madrigal: no one raised objections in the email group when it was sent by 0, so am assuming it is fine?
FcSeeker: <3
Eliza Madrigal: Aside from that, I think there is just the matter of posting signs at the pavilion, and Wed guardians being ready to IM visitors
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): Looks fine to moi.
Eliza Madrigal: :)) thanks
FcSeeker: rehi Arch
Eos Amaterasu: You mean to have Wednesday the 21st be a silent day at sessions: fine by me!
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Arch... let me give you the notecard for visitors, for Wednesday
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): Hi, Arch.
Eliza Madrigal: yes this is what's planned Eos
Eos Amaterasu: Hi Arch
Eliza Madrigal: Aphrodite has posted the poem so far, at the pavilon
Eliza Madrigal: it is really lovely
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): Hey, Xir.
FcSeeker: rehi Xirana
 

Eliza Madrigal: if anyone has not sent two lines to contribute (to Aphrodite), please do so! :)
 

Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): hello everyone:)
Eos Amaterasu: Hi Xi
Storm Nordwind: Hi!
Eliza Madrigal: (that note's just for peace day on Wed Xirana)
Eliza Madrigal: Fefonz is a host on Wed, so am not sure if he knows about this... would have to keep up with emails...
Eliza Madrigal: I'll send him a personal email today (just realizing)
Arch (archmage.atlantis): it is wednes day and I am a visitor who requres a card, ty Eliza
Eliza Madrigal: though I think Aphrodite volunteered to host at 1pm
Eliza Madrigal: OK... that seems to be it with regard to prep for Peace Day :)
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): ty Eliza
Eliza Madrigal: Storm would you like to say something regarding Art as Being?
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): only one more thing. . .
Eliza Madrigal: Oh...sorry
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): if anyone wishes to have one of the shirts (Peace Dove), just let me know.
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): (done)
Eliza Madrigal: thanks Bruce :)
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): yw

Storm Nordwind: So offerings for the new Art as Being exhibition are being accepted
Storm Nordwind: Only two installed so far (as of yesterday)
Storm Nordwind: There are two weeks left to put in your entry!
Storm Nordwind: We've had fabulous contributions in the past
Storm Nordwind: Though I have to say, most appeared in the day before the deadline! :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Storm Nordwind: It would be really good to get them in early this time, if only because a bunch of us will be on retreat
Arch (archmage.atlantis): Peace day i only 3 days away
Storm Nordwind: If anyone needs help with installing, please contact me
Storm Nordwind: The name of the exhibition is CHAIR-ITY ;-)
Storm Nordwind: The Theme is BALANCE
Storm Nordwind: So please write a poem on that theme to be performed on October 2nd in the Dome
Jan Qualia: we just take a photo of ourselves sitting on a chair?
Storm Nordwind: You can ask someone else to read it for you if you're shy!
Storm Nordwind: And yes two things...
Storm Nordwind: You'll be designing or buying a chair to read the poem from
Storm Nordwind: So a snapshot of you on the chair is the picture we need
Storm Nordwind: And you can put the chair itself in front of your picture in the Dome
Jan Qualia: ok
Storm Nordwind: Et voila
Arch (archmage.atlantis): buy. to me, is not a word of peace
Eos Amaterasu: sounds like some sort of parliament
Storm Nordwind: Buy is just an energy exchange Arch
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Arch (archmage.atlantis): give is the word
Storm Nordwind: We want to give people confidence that they can contribute
Eliza Madrigal: anyone can beg, borrow, or build... hopefully not steal
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): :)
Storm Nordwind: And some people are more comfortable with writing, some with speaking, some with building, some with painting
Arch (archmage.atlantis): Calvin was not a good man
Arch (archmage.atlantis): I shall leave
Eos Amaterasu: ?
Eliza Madrigal: I'm not comfortable with any of those so am happy for the challenge (hope to pull it together in time)
Storm Nordwind: When you have installed your piece, please let me know so I can put the atrribution next to yours
Eliza Madrigal: Thanks, Storm
Eos Amaterasu ponders a chair from which to speak
Bruce (bruce.mowbray) echoes Eliza in her hope.
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Storm Nordwind: A simple rezzed box is entirely adequate! :)
Eliza Madrigal: or sphere...
Storm Nordwind does not recommend a cone! ;)
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): ok!!! Thanks Storm:)) that makes it quite more easy:))
Eos Amaterasu: sitting version of unicycle
Jan Qualia: it doesn't require too much building expertise
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Jan Qualia: :)

Storm Nordwind: Please ignore my contribution. It's meant to inspire not intimidate :)
Eliza Madrigal: uh oh
Eos Amaterasu: ack!
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): :)
Jan Qualia: not used to poetry writing
Storm Nordwind: Your poem can be borrowed too
Jan Qualia: I know can use borrowed
Jan Qualia: we don't need a backdrop photo then?
Storm Nordwind: I snapshotted mine in midair - so no you don't need a backdrop
Storm Nordwind: And Bleu suggested you have a costume specially for the reading. Well I'm lousy at costume design and I have no dress sense, so i used an old costume you'll have seen before!
Eliza Madrigal: so the directions are meant to be a springboard or outline, basically
Eliza Madrigal: ?
Adams Rubble slips away to RL calling with a bye to everyone :)
Eliza Madrigal: bye Adams :)
Eos Amaterasu: springboard for mid-air snapshotting?
Eliza Madrigal: hehe
Jan Qualia: I find it difficult to think of a costume that goes with balance
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): bye, Adams
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): bye Adams:)
FcSeeker: waves
Storm Nordwind: Yes. I can't speak for Bleu, but I would rather see contributions done in our normal wonderful PaB spirit that were not quite to the letter of the description, than no contribution at all!

Jan Qualia: yeh ok good
Eliza Madrigal: :) Thanks Storm, nods

Eliza Madrigal: OK, next item on the agenda is the Working Group
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): ok.
Eliza Madrigal: Bruce would you like to speak to that, as the present WG member? :)
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): ok.
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): There are at present four members - aolthough we'd love more.
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): Mila, Aph, stevenaia, and moi.
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): Mila abd Aph are the co-chairpersons.

Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): wonderful team:)
Eliza Madrigal: yes :::claps wholeheartedly:::::
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): our next mtg (WG) will be October 12th.
FcSeeker: <3
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): any questions, just let one of us know.
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): Hey, Luci.
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): hi Luci:)
Jan Qualia: hiLuci
Eliza Madrigal: Any guardian can take part in the WG... just a matter of organizing schedules and being willing to focus on behind-the-scenes issues in a concerte way
FcSeeker: Hi Luci
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Luci :)
Eliza Madrigal: *concerted
Lucinda Lavender: HI Everyone:)
Eos Amaterasu: concert: play together
Eos Amaterasu: hi luci
Jan Qualia: concrete* ?
Lucinda Lavender: HI Everyone...sorry to be late!

Storm Nordwind: How do people put themselves forward for the WG Eliza?
Eliza Madrigal: They should email or IM either Bruce, Stevie, Mila or Aphrodite...
Eliza Madrigal: though if they would like to respond in the main email group that would be fine and noticed also
Storm Nordwind smiles thank you
Eliza Madrigal: I'll re-send the message asking for participations this week
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): thanks in advance for doing that, Eliza.

Eliza Madrigal: it would be *wonderful* for every guardian to volunteer at least once
Eliza Madrigal: a stint in the WG is 6 months, though some choose to stay on for a while longer which is great for continuity
Eliza Madrigal: The WG deals with guardian nominations, any issues that arise, and creatively brainstorms about community matters
Eliza Madrigal: and tries to attend these meetings so that everyone is in the loop :)

Bruce (bruce.mowbray): The WG finds wrinkles and tries to iron them out in a concerted way ;-)
Eliza Madrigal: :))

Eliza Madrigal: Does anyone have other matters to bring up today? Questions, etc?

Eliza Madrigal: Oh... btw anyone can jump into the 99 day exercize with those of us who are already in there :)
Eliza Madrigal: It is wonderful to share this support, am finding it very helpful

Eos Amaterasu: http://wiki.playasbeing.org/Classes_and_Sessions/The_99_Days_project/99.001_-_2011.09.01
Lucinda Lavender: I am afraid I have been unsure where one does the 99 day project...
Lucinda Lavender: thank you:)
Eliza Madrigal: we're on day 17 now
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): Eos posted the link, Luci. - - Just click on the current day and add your "comment" there.
Eos Amaterasu: A new page appears each day (starting in Greenwich time), and you add you comments (as comments) there
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): yes... I am 17 days late:(
Eliza Madrigal: :) nobody is late
Storm Nordwind: :)
Eos Amaterasu: you are up to date with now!
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): :))
Eliza Madrigal: you jump in when you jump in and are there from all time
Eliza Madrigal: heheh
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): np --- we have MANY more days to go
Jan Qualia: 82
Eos Amaterasu: I could see this being an ongoing feature: just needs an auto-page-creation script
Eliza Madrigal nods Eos

Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): I suppose it's good to create an habitude... to do something positive, sometimes we want to do things and never find the moment...sharing is helfpul
Eliza Madrigal: very
Eos Amaterasu: makes a huge difference - people in different parts of the world checking in on the same page
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): yes, Xir, this is a highly motivational exercise.
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): :)
Jan Qualia: I'm too stuck to habits
Eliza Madrigal: I like that it supports 'individual' practices in group support
Lucinda Lavender: so clicking on the date puts ones comment on a certain page..but does one see others pages too somewhere?
Jan Qualia: could do with a way to stop dong things so regularly
Eos Amaterasu: for example, Luci, today's page is http://wiki.playasbeing.org/Classes_and_Sessions/The_99_Days_project/99.001_-_2011.09.01/2011.09.18_-_17
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): just all the comments for each day -- one from each person.
Eliza Madrigal: I find it helpful to click the 'recent changes' page on the wiki, to find most updated page
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): Hey, Riddle.
Riddle Sideways: Hi All, soory for being so late
Eos Amaterasu: could be as simple as "check", or a paragraph
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Riddle :)
Lucinda Lavender: so we see our own statements
Jan Qualia: Hi Riddle
FcSeeker: Hello Riddle
Eos Amaterasu: you can peer into someone else's pause :-)
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): and a poem of Eden every day too:)
Eliza Madrigal: :) yes, lovely poetry from Eden
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): hello Rid:)
Eos Amaterasu whispers: hi ???
Eliza Madrigal: and drawings from Aph, pictures from Bruce
Eliza Madrigal: am really enjoying these peeks
Lucinda Lavender: great! I had not scrolled down...ok

Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): I will look at it carefully:)) a lot of interesting things as always going on in PaB :)
Eos Amaterasu: busy little being
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Lucinda Lavender: a daily mix...
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): If there are still questions about how to do it, just ask one of the contributors to the 99-Days Project. It's very easy.
Lucinda Lavender: so to start does one just post?
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): yep.
Eos Amaterasu: yes
Lucinda Lavender: ok thank you:)
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): ;-)
Eliza Madrigal: :) Yes Luci... it is good to put your intention on the first page, then begin with report at day 17 in this case (if starting today)
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): Hey, Aph.
FcSeeker: Hello Aph
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Aphrodite :)
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): hello Aph:9
Aphrodite Macbain: sorry I'm late just woke up!

Eliza Madrigal: Many of us are also still regularly dropping into the droplet

Lucinda Lavender: the west coast is waking slowly:)
Lucinda Lavender: yes me too
Riddle Sideways: was late night last night
Aphrodite Macbain: zzz I was up late posting my log

Eos Amaterasu:http://wiki.playasbeing.org/guardian_Pages/Droplet

Eliza Madrigal: I seem to find myself with Eden and Eos most often... wonder who Starling is
Riddle Sideways: Starling is an alt
Lucinda Lavender: is the droplet different than the 99 days?
Eos Amaterasu: Starling is a test account I created for testin this app
Eliza Madrigal: oh :)
Eliza Madrigal: thanks for solving that mystery :))
Eos Amaterasu: yes, the clicking the droplet starts a 9 second pause going
Eos Amaterasu: and shows who else is pausing around that time
Eliza Madrigal: flash pause **********Applause!!**********
Eliza Madrigal: **********Applause!!**********
Eos Amaterasu: eos and zen are pausing
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): [`·.] APPLAUSE!! [.·´]
Storm Nordwind: Eos - your test page is still there. Is that an independent app or is it linked? I have to say I've been using both!
Eliza Madrigal: hah... I forget that when I type "app" it makes applause
Eos Amaterasu: http://wiki.playasbeing.org/guardian_Pages/Droplet is the real thing
Eos Amaterasu: the other is a sandbox for playing with code
Eos Amaterasu: /app
Eos Amaterasu: ?
Eliza Madrigal giggles , but also agree that it is a good reason to applaud
Aphrodite Macbain: cool
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): /app
Eliza Madrigal: **********Applause!!**********
Eliza Madrigal: **********Applause!!**********

Eliza Madrigal: Also the 1am is now in question since that was to be ARch hosting... so we'll see
Aphrodite Macbain: He said something about being htere for the 21st

Eliza Madrigal: in general it is good to have two people giving notes if necessary or answering visitor questions in IM
Lucinda Lavender: may I ask...at 9 am do we push the share droplet button?
Eliza Madrigal: the droplet is for any time :)
 

Aphrodite Macbain: Yes. Sam had the idea of putting up a sign saying what was happening and inviting people to click for more information and the notecard
Riddle Sideways: if you want
Eliza Madrigal: yes that's a good idea Aphrodite
Eliza Madrigal: so we'll see how it goes :)))
Aphrodite Macbain: Dont know how to do that, do you Storm?
Storm Nordwind: What Aph?
Riddle Sideways: but no flags waving :)
Aphrodite Macbain: Have a note card embedded into the sign
Aphrodite Macbain: explaining what is happening
Aphrodite Macbain: we do it in the dome for each art work
Storm Nordwind: Edit the sign, add the notecard to its content, add the note-dispenser script that's available at the Dome
Storm Nordwind: The script will work in anything
Storm Nordwind: It just takes the first notecard it can see
Storm Nordwind: And gives it to the person touching the sign
Aphrodite Macbain: how do we add the note dispenser script?
Storm Nordwind: There's a dispenser for the script by the Dome I believe
Aphrodite Macbain: oh!
Storm Nordwind: Just add it to the content in the same way as the note itself
Eos Amaterasu: copy/paste script into object content
Aphrodite Macbain: OK maybe you can show me where it is one day soon
Storm Nordwind: Drag and drop will work too
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: what does the script look like?
Eos Amaterasu: will leave now, thanks all, by way of the dome (to check out chairs "-)
Eliza Madrigal: thanks Eos :) bye for now
Eliza Madrigal: we could all pop over to the dome...
Storm Nordwind: If you open your inventory you'll see scripts
Aphrodite Macbain: Bye
Aphrodite Macbain: Bye! Eos - hope you are adding a chair of your own!
FcSeeker: waves to Eos
Riddle Sideways: By Eos
Aphrodite Macbain: Oh you mean we each have one already?
Eliza Madrigal: I have to go in a second too but would like to see the offerings so far
Storm Nordwind: I can always make a notecard dispenser script for you if you can't find one
FcSeeker: waves to Eliza
Eliza Madrigal: FcS do you know how to get to the dome?
Riddle Sideways: by all
Storm Nordwind will go to the Dome too
