[10:01 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: Welcome to Safe Waters Foundation weekly aquatic support gathering. My name is Miranda. I will be leading today’s meeting.
Welcome new and old aquatics and friends!
[10:01 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: Safe waters foundation (SWF) is a not-for-profit group supporting the development of harmony and safety for merfolk and aquatics of second life, we bring together designers, retailers, sims, merrow, mermen, mermaids, siren, aquatics and lovers of same.
[10:02 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: People seem to arrive late and depart early. Please don’t be offended but as leader I will try to keep the meeting going. We don’t repeat things for latecomers – a log is posted on our blog after the meeting. This is not a place for public debate – this is a helpful place. we all help each other slive an aquatic lifestyle.
[10:02 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: Because we usually have good attendance – please take a moment to remove all extra attachments and huds. We’d like you to dress low lag. Big poofy hair and jewelry are big culprits, as are bubbles, script things, huds, and such. If we all cooperate, more merfolk can participate with less crashing. Thank you for your help with this.

[10:15 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): YAY!!!!
[10:15 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: that was technically a tech question.
[10:15 AM] Tirea Naring (TsioSan Ruby): I am a Mermaid of very small brain.
[10:16 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: any other questions?
[10:16 AM] Alyx (AlyxAdventures Resident): Uhh. Has anyone found a tail that works with maitreya X yet? Or heard about updates for it?
[10:16 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): Ooh…
[10:16 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): dat a tricky one
[10:16 AM] Tirea Naring (TsioSan Ruby): Not yet….would be nice
[10:16 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): when did Lara X come out again?
[10:16 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: yeah I definetly wouldn’t know
[10:16 AM] Alyx (AlyxAdventures Resident): A month or so i think?
[10:16 AM] Tirea Naring (TsioSan Ruby): about 6 weeks ago, I think
[10:16 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): Ooh…
[10:16 AM] Tirea Naring (TsioSan Ruby): oh..maybe
[10:16 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): yeah probably not so soon
[10:17 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): it has been awhile – are some having problems?
[10:17 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): there’s so few clothings for it that I wouldn’t think there’s tails yet
[10:17 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: in their defense blender is wicked hard
[10:17 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): it works with BOM?
[10:18 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): it does yus
[10:18 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): BOM compatibility is bare minimum for mesh bodies nowadays I thinks
[10:18 AM] Tirea Naring (TsioSan Ruby): It has so many added alpha sections, tho…really adaptable..
[10:18 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): thing is… it’s an entirely new body, right?
[10:19 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): basically Maitreya doing a Legacy so to speak
[10:19 AM] Tirea Naring (TsioSan Ruby): yes…actually it is.
[10:19 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): if it’s only been out for a month and a half… probably tails won’t be so soon
[10:19 AM] Alyx (AlyxAdventures Resident): Mostly, rigging is different to old maitreya but you can use bits for the hands and feet
[10:19 AM] Asteria Maxima (Asteria0Maxima Resident): Proud to be sporting mine right now, with my Nemissa!
[10:20 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): Maitreya fit on a Lara X should be close, right?
[10:20 AM] Alyx (AlyxAdventures Resident): the hips are very different, riptide doesn’t fit well at all
[10:20 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): meoowwww~
[10:20 AM] Tirea Naring (TsioSan Ruby): Yes…but y ou might have some different leaks in outfits…
[10:21 AM] Asteria Maxima (Asteria0Maxima Resident): Still needs a bit of fiddling with the Body HUD, but yeah, it’ll work
[10:21 AM] Tirea Naring (TsioSan Ruby): some adjustments needed.
[10:21 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): well that doesn’t sound close
[10:21 AM] Asteria Maxima (Asteria0Maxima Resident): Plus, a friend of mine made ma a custom BOM ALpha
[10:21 AM] Asteria Maxima (Asteria0Maxima Resident): *made me a
[10:21 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: nice
[10:21 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): maybe someone will make a deformer for Lara X to make regular Lara clothes fit
[10:22 AM] Tirea Naring (TsioSan Ruby): what an interesting idea
[10:22 AM] Cecily Łυмιère (Cecily Corvinus): honestly, Maitreya should do that
[10:22 AM] Cecily Łυмιère (Cecily Corvinus): but if they didn’t provide one to people, then they likely won’t
[10:22 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): no, some third party creator might
[10:22 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): they want to sell Lara X devkits
[10:22 AM] Tirea Naring (TsioSan Ruby): THey SAY they will continue to support Lara…and LaraX will be parallel
[10:23 AM] Asteria Maxima (Asteria0Maxima Resident): Unfortunately, MAitreya’s creator is FAR beyond stingy with releasing the Dev Kit
[10:23 AM] Tirea Naring (TsioSan Ruby): So yes….a separate body
[10:23 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): that sucks
[10:23 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: okay has the question been answered?
[10:24 AM] Tirea Naring (TsioSan Ruby): sounds like it has
[10:24 AM] Alyx (AlyxAdventures Resident) nodnods
[10:24 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): I think the answer is broadly “we don’t know, too soon to tell”
[10:24 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: okay any other questions?
[10:24 AM] Ψ νєѕρєя ησνєм-αвѕιηтнє Ψ (Vesper Absinthe): ♥
[10:24 AM] Ψ νєѕρєя ησνєм-αвѕιηтнє Ψ (Vesper Absinthe): Well, I think it’s great that the body got an update! It was a decade old and needed some updates, and progress is great ♥ – but this is from a male POV.
[10:26 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: okay if no other questions, we can move on to promotions.
[10:26 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): YAY!!!!
[10:26 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: Quick reminders/announcements
Ad boards are awesome because they can help newer merfolk and aquatics find places to swim. If you need mer traffic, please consider renting an ad board.
[10:26 AM] Fɪɴᴀ 小霜 (Sapphira Franizzi): puRrrRrRrrrrRrr
[10:26 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: Perks include helping the group and being allowed to post ads in the group chat twice per week. Add in the fact that anyone can ask for the stick and that is great exposure.

Gents, you can join here: The SL Merman Collective
The Merman Meetup is aimed at building and strengthening the community among men in the aquatics world. This gathering is the perfect platform for men who are involved in and passionate about aquatic life in SL. It’s an opportunity to connect, share experiences, and foster a sense of brotherhood, camaraderie, and support within this unique group. This gathering is to facilitate networking, learn from each other, and promote a sense of unity and collaboration among men who share a love for the water and the mer community.
Currently our meetups are at 4pm on Sundays, but we’re looking at changing the time to slightly earlier for guys in the EU/UK – please keep an eye on the calendar and in-world notices for updates!
We also have a dedicated channel in the Seafolk of SL Discord server, so if you would like to join the

[10:52 AM] Cecily Łυмιère (Cecily Corvinus): If y’all are uncertain what Discord is, it is an off-SL chat and social application for computers and phones. It can be really handy for staying connected with friends and it is really simple to make a free account and join servers that interest you or chat with friends without fear of your messages getting eaten by SL.
[10:53 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): overlapping announcements
[10:53 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: We are totally inclusive, kids, mers, furs, landers all welcome.
LGBT+ friendly, we even allow for mer toplessness under water.
[10:53 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: but we’re careful around humans because I’ve seen people faint at the sight of an ankle, which we established is around the fluke. yes humans are weird
[10:53 AM] Ƭяυ ƁƖєυz (TruBleuz Resident): ankles are weird
[10:53 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: we have a system called TCS. its a craft/trade/rp system that allows you to trade goods with other mers or landers. You can harvest and create things.

[10:54 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: we still have the pirate santa cove with the mer pool

[10:58 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: This meeting is now adjourned. Remember our SWF goals:
- to assist those considering an underwater life
- to increase awareness in the general public that there is an underwater option
- to make mer resources (events, projects, groups, retailers, sims, designers) visible and easily accessible
- to assist, as possible, with the viability of mer resources so they may continue to be available to the community
- to promote the conservation of rl oceans, lakes and waterways and the nature that relies on them
Now go mingle and explore! Thanks for joining us this day!!
