This is a transcript of our in-world meeting at The Clock Tower on Edloe Island.

 

[18:06]  Dedric Mauriac: ok ... so i guess we can start getting to know each other and going over a few things.

[18:06]  Dedric Mauriac: has everyone seen the wiki?

[18:06]  BluesSweet Tomorrow: hi everyone

[18:06]  Stuart Warf: yes

[18:06]  Dedric Mauriac: Hello BluesSweet

[18:06]  BluesSweet Tomorrow: and yes i have been a few times

[18:06]  Crap Mariner: welcome bluesweet

[18:07]  BluesSweet Tomorrow: ty Crap

[18:07]  Caroline Apollo: not sure, is that where we signed up?

[18:07]  Crap Mariner: i've seen the wiki. and i keep forgetting to sign into it

[18:07]  Dedric Mauriac: yes

[18:07]  Dedric Mauriac: i am hoping that we can all stay on the same page through the wiki

[18:07]  Dedric Mauriac: don't be afraid to be fun and leave messages for each other through it.

[18:08]  Dedric Mauriac: if you break it, it is not a problem. i can undo any change

[18:08]  Dedric Mauriac: it has a history

[18:08]  BluesSweet Tomorrow: i'm not online to long Dedric... been having lots of scans and i start chemo next week

[18:08]  Dedric Mauriac: ok

[18:08]  Dedric Mauriac: ... fundraising begins march 15 i believe

[18:09]  Dedric Mauriac: I will receive kiosks from the main folks and distribute them to you

[18:09]  BluesSweet Tomorrow: do we just get permission and put them out?

[18:09]  Dedric Mauriac: yes - but it is important that you tell me who you got permission from

[18:10]  BluesSweet Tomorrow: ok will do that

[18:10]  Dedric Mauriac: I need to report these people so that the RFL folks can give a special thank you to them

[18:10]  Crap Mariner: i'll find a place in here to put it. concerts will be once per week, and i'll have the performers mention that venue tips should actually go in there

[18:10]  Dedric Mauriac: ok

[18:10]  Dedric Mauriac: There are other kiosks that will be made available to sell products

[18:11]  Dedric Mauriac: some people like to create special things that are for RFL only

[18:11]  Crap Mariner: I think an updated version of the "crazy fetus" script might be fun. If not insane.

[18:11]  Dedric Mauriac: The kosks log sales and donations

[18:11]  Dedric Mauriac: hmm... we may have to look into that crap. RFL folks are getting a little strong on how they are represented

[18:12]  Dedric Mauriac: for instance, this year, you can't put a SL RFL logo on anything you sell

[18:12]  Crap Mariner: ok

[18:12]  Dedric Mauriac: RacerX has to redo his snails this year

[18:13]  Dedric Mauriac: ok ... after the kickoff party on march 15, the next big event is a half way there fair

[18:13]  Dedric Mauriac: i need to catch the date for that.

[18:13]  Dedric Mauriac: A few of us have already put up County Fair Event Ideas on our wiki

[18:13]  BluesSweet Tomorrow: i'll try to make it but not sure .. thats 3 days after my first treatment

[18:14]  Dedric Mauriac: don't worry about making it to the kickoff party

[18:14]  BluesSweet Tomorrow: ok ty

[18:14]  Dedric Mauriac: i haven't attended one yet in the past few years

[18:14]  Dedric Mauriac: heh

[18:14]  BluesSweet Tomorrow: lol we won't tell

[18:14]  Dedric Mauriac: the main events are the half-way-there fair and the walk-a-thon

[18:14]  Crap Mariner: Relay For Life folks are working on a short promo to put on podcasts, by the way. Harold let me know about that a few days ago

[18:15]  Dedric Mauriac: oh great

[18:15]  Dedric Mauriac: maybe i'll start up blue hair just to put out a promo

[18:15]  Stuart Warf: any chance they wanna do a RFL podcast?

[18:15]  Dedric Mauriac: the thing still gets a lot of hits

[18:15]  Dedric Mauriac: yes, they do

[18:15]  Crap Mariner: They are working on a podcast concept, yes

[18:15]  Dedric Mauriac: i told them to talk to you stuart

[18:15]  Dedric Mauriac: I mentioned both stuart and crap mariner to trader

[18:15]  BluesSweet Tomorrow: hi Gomem

[18:16]  Stuart Warf: nobody talked to me yet...but i would definitley let them on

[18:16]  Dedric Mauriac: hey there

[18:16]  Gomem Desoto: hi.. dedric, stu, crap, blue, korii

[18:16]  Crap Mariner: hi

[18:16]  Gomem Desoto: caroline

[18:16]  Gomem Desoto: think that got everyone

[18:17]  Dedric Mauriac: ok, so... if you can, try to put up some ideas for half way there fair on the wiki .... later we'll vote.

[18:17]  Gomem Desoto: a wiki

[18:17]  Dedric Mauriac: and lets keep them votes unique this time ...

[18:17]  Caroline Apollo: someone had said the kickoff party was march 17th.

[18:17]  BluesSweet Tomorrow: when is the halfway there ?

[18:17]  Gomem Desoto: half to all there i guess

[18:17]  Gomem Desoto: is usualy half way there

[18:17]  Dedric Mauriac: Sunday June 1, 2008

[18:17]  BluesSweet Tomorrow: pffffft one in every crowd lol

[18:17]  Dedric Mauriac: 6am - 6pm SLT

[18:18]  Dedric Mauriac: doesn't really seem half-way

[18:18]  Dedric Mauriac: since the big event is in july

[18:19]  Dedric Mauriac: if you can build something for RFL to get donations, i can let you setup some vendors in my shop

[18:19]  Dedric Mauriac: i just want to stress though, that if buildint' isn't your thing, don't feel obligated to build

[18:19]  Dedric Mauriac: we all help out where we see a need and are able to fill it

[18:19]  BluesSweet Tomorrow: oh good cuz i can only build a box lol

[18:19]  Gomem Desoto suck big time at build

[18:20]  Dedric Mauriac: yes, but some of you have ideas

[18:20]  Dedric Mauriac: or know how to attract people to events

[18:20]  Dedric Mauriac: or are bloggers

[18:20]  Dedric Mauriac: podcasters

[18:20]  Dedric Mauriac: or all around cool people

[18:20]  Caroline Apollo: can you double check that march 15 date

[18:21]  Gomem Desoto: it would be good to promote in sl related podcasts

[18:21]  Caroline Apollo: ive heard march 17

[18:21]  Gomem Desoto: and blogs of course

[18:21]  Dedric Mauriac: Anything not PG-13 rated or under is just not a good idea.

[18:21]  Dedric Mauriac: i'll check

[18:21]  Dedric Mauriac: feb 17 was kickoff for team captains

[18:22]  Dedric Mauriac: 2PM March 15, saturday (for fundraising kickoff)

 

[18:22]  Dedric Mauriac: http://slrfl.org/?page_id=127

[18:23]  Dedric Mauriac: ok, so between now and june, we should probably have some kind of event of our own

[18:24]  Dedric Mauriac: part of this fundraising is to raise awareness and educate people about cancer

[18:24]  Dedric Mauriac: if you know of some facts about cancer, or had experiences yourself or with people you know, we could help educate people with that

[18:24]  BluesSweet Tomorrow: that would be me i guess

[18:24]  Dedric Mauriac: 2 years ago, i saw mutiple choice answer/question booths

[18:25]  Korii Tiger see's whats left of her atention span danglign in front of her like a string and tries har dnot to play with it.

[18:25]  Crap Mariner: i'm also working on something with andrew ian dodge in london. interviewing him about his colon cancer treatments. he's almost as much of a comedianas i am, and his wife is a former bbc comedy writer

[18:25]  Dedric Mauriac: i can script things out if anyone needs help

[18:27]  Dedric Mauriac: ELLiebob Bean (who isn't here) was our team captain last year

[18:27]  Dedric Mauriac: if you can't reach me, she can give you some help

[18:27]  BluesSweet Tomorrow: i'm sorry but as i said..its a hit and miss for me.. depending on how tired i get.. but if i know in advance i can try better to make meetings

[18:27]  Dedric Mauriac: if you have ideas, but don't know how to make them into reality, ask for help

[18:28]  Dedric Mauriac: It's ok blues.

[18:39]  Dedric Mauriac: I think crap had some issues with shoutcast streaming though.

[18:39]  Crap Mariner: there were some issues last night with the server i use

[18:39]  Gomem Desoto: if its live.. its not really a podcast is it

[18:39]  Dedric Mauriac: or maybe that was just for his lincoln stories
