A. June 2010

The month of June had two big events to point to, the first was the wiki switchover to its own server, and the second was the completion of the Art as Being project “Being in Time; Being as Time. Pema and Eliza had a theme session on ‘Watching Time’, and the Dream Circle continues to meet the last Wednesday of the month. Pema shared his 100 day play with us via email. We have our guardian sessions every Sunday morning slt, and the working group meets every two weeks, and we welcomed a new guardian this month. The Art Museum in Bieup is an very dynamic place, with frequent exhibits. Liza continues meditation meetings, and Yakuzza  hosts a voice hour before his PaB session. In June, I also interviewed Wester Kiranov for the chronicles.

Thank you so much everybody!!

June Wiki Switchover - On June 4th, the Play as Being wiki left it’s home on the wik.is server, and found a new home on it’s own server. Thankfully all of the data arrived safe and sound.

The transition was completed with very few glitches from the experience of regular wiki users (like myself!!)… but only as the result of many, many hours of work and dedication!!  Fael wrote the script that transferred all the pages to the new wiki. Calvino coordinated the transfer and scheduling, kept all the balls rolling,and added features to the wiki for ease its usability. Many individuals were in frequent communication about various wiki issues.

Art as Being - June 2010 included the dynamic display of photographs taken by Play as Being guardians on this months theme. Seventeen guardians submitted photos for display. Nineteen avatars attended the special session, under the wonderful dome that Storm created to house this Art as Being photography exhibition.

I made this picture for this chronicle, and included every photograph that was displayed by guardians under the dome. The artists of the photographs, from left to right, # signifying placement, starting at the top were: Agatha MacBeth (1), Bleu Oleander (2, 3, 4, 5, 6), Calvino Rabeni (7), Eden Haiku (8), Eliza Madigal (9, 10), Fael Illyar (11, 12), Gaya Ethaniel (13), Liza Deischer (14, 15), Lucinda Lavender (16), Mickorod Renard (17), Paradise Tennant (18, 19), Pema Pera (20), SophiaSharon Larnia (21), Stevenaia Michinaga (22), Storm Nordwind (23, 24, 25, 26), Wol Euler (27), and Zen Arado (28).

A great thing about the new wiki is you can click on the picture to make it much bigger (the original file size), and get a good look at these photos (and can now upload .gif files).
