[12:06] Fawn Cobalt: I also want to send out a big hello to everyone reading the transcript of this meeting on the SWF website. If you ever miss one of our meetings and want to know what happened, you can read the transcript at swfsl.com
[12:07] Fawn Cobalt: 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.
[12:07] Fawn Cobalt: 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 transcript will be posted on the SWF website after the meeting. So, feel free to go back and read the transcript at your convenience. This is not a place for public debate – this is a helpful place. we all help each other live an aquatic lifestyle. Mers Helping Mers Be Mers.
[12:08] Fawn Cobalt: 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.
[12:08] ChrisTopper: it would be great to see mermaids in uhre
[12:08] Fawn Cobalt: yes, we will get to that topic in a little bit.
[12:09] Fawn Cobalt: So, after my brief introduction, we will introduce the new folks, sharing questions, ideas, and support to help each other-ie; tails, hair, bodies, AOs, requests, etc, then PSAs and promotion of events, sales or what ever else needs to be shared, then I close out the meeting with our goals.
