[12:05] 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.
[12:06] 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.
[12:06] 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.
[12:07] 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.

Now – what general questions can we discuss here today? Where do our aquatics need help? If you wish to share here – please im me so that I can call on you.
[12:19] Sophia (saphierna): Mr firefox is looking for mer seating
[12:19] Fawn Cobalt: mer seating?
[12:19] Peaches2U Camino: like these seats?
[12:19] Sophia (saphierna): like these pillows
[12:19] Fawn Cobalt: seats with the scripts in them?
[12:19] Mr. Firefox (sal.fireguard): resting pads for single mer or couples
[12:20] Lily Lewellen (lily.fairelander): Normally I rip the seating poses from the ** TalaAO and add to modify furniture
[12:20] Fawn Cobalt: Does anyone know where SWF got these seats from?
[12:20] The Sea Word (adnamanna): I know they are “old” but the Tidal rock chairs and couches hold up
[12:20] Fawn Cobalt: good idea, Lily
[12:20] Sophia (saphierna): one of the swf builders made them
[12:20] Zohee Goldshark: I do like the sits. Is it still hard to get mer animations
[12:20] Mrs. Firefox (foxcapture): Oh we can do that Lily.
[12:21] Lily Lewellen (lily.fairelander): I believe Matti made these seats
[12:21] Peaches2U Camino: can we buy these??
[12:21] Mrs. Firefox (foxcapture): we tried to put together mer dances and couple dances
[12:21] Lily Lewellen (lily.fairelander): He just pulled the sit poses from the AO’s
[12:21] Mrs. Firefox (foxcapture): they were hard to find
[12:21] Cecily Łυмιère (love.witch): Matti custom made the sitting animations for these seats independent of the cushions, but I do not believe that they are fullperm for him to sell to anyone
[12:21] Lily Lewellen (lily.fairelander): Only dances that work with the bento tails are made by GOR-geous animations
[12:21] Zohee Goldshark: I made some Merniture but not sure how the sits act with these new mesh tails
[12:22] Sophia (saphierna): they work ok is the AO’s are turned off
[12:23] Zohee Goldshark: Coool…
[12:23] Lily Lewellen (lily.fairelander): Other thing to do is to add a lower mer tail animations from OhMy and just hit normal human animations to sync them together
[12:23] Lily Lewellen (lily.fairelander): for dancing
[12:23] ᴛᴀʙɪ (tabitha.sirensong): Theres a free on on marketplace too both are worth it
[12:24] Mrs. Firefox (foxcapture): Thank you, will try that
[12:24] λŁєxίꜱ ღ (originalcross): human
[12:24] Mr. Firefox (sal.fireguard): sad that so much has been lost from the community over the years

[12:24] Fawn Cobalt laughs
[12:24] Peaches2U Camino: would not give up these mesh tails for the world
[12:25] Peaches2U Camino: but miss all that i could do before them
[12:25] Fawn Cobalt: So, did that resolve that issue?
[12:25] The Sea Word (adnamanna): Fantasy Faire is coming – new stuff might be coming out!
[12:25] Zohee Goldshark: Not enough people know how to make the animations. Its hard making one, I know. Now with tyhe new bone structure you have to take that into consideration
[12:25] Peaches2U Camino: WOOT
[12:25] Lily Lewellen (lily.fairelander): Working on stuff for FF ^^
[12:25] ᴛᴀʙɪ (tabitha.sirensong): Flip floping with old school and new school is fun too though

[12:26] Fawn Cobalt: So, Peaches has a tech support question.
[12:26] Fawn Cobalt: Do you want to go ahead and ask it, Peaches?
[12:26] Peaches2U Camino: Yesah
[12:27] Zohee Goldshark: yesthank you Fawn
[12:27] Peaches2U Camino: noticed someone created a chair
[12:27] Peaches2U Camino: that hovers
[12:27] Peaches2U Camino: and you WEAR
[12:27] Peaches2U Camino: is a WEAR anywhere chair
[12:27] Peaches2U Camino: great for humans
[12:27] Peaches2U Camino says in mermish Nulma
[12:27] Peaches2U Camino: but would Nulma (NOOL-mah): Love
[12:27] Peaches2U Camino: something like that for mers
[12:28] Peaches2U Camino: so I could sit anywhere in a fishbowl
[12:28] Zohee Goldshark: That would be fun
[12:28] Peaches2U Camino: or on a few rocks
[12:28] Fawn Cobalt: sounds awesome!!!
[12:28] Peaches2U Camino: it comes with the same problems as sitting
[12:28] Peaches2U Camino: mesh fins problems
[12:28] Peaches2U Camino: and the different priorities
[12:28] Peaches2U Camino: with the legs
[12:28] Dave D (cheezydave): if we add an animation from one of the AOs then it can work
[12:28] Peaches2U Camino: AND arms
[12:28] Peaches2U Camino: here is another part
[12:28] The Sea Word (adnamanna): I have a cheat: I use a tail posing head to overcome weird chairs and sits for static stuff
[12:29] Peaches2U Camino: part Deaux
[12:29] Lily Lewellen (lily.fairelander): I use the Normady Floating throne
[12:29] Peaches2U Camino: one of her chairs works with my zooby newborns
[12:29] Peaches2U Camino: and the chair priority does NOT override me being able to hold my infant
[12:30] Peaches2U Camino: it DOES override me being able to hold my babies though
[12:30] ᴛᴀʙɪ (tabitha.sirensong): oh nice Lily
[12:30] Peaches2U Camino: so whatever poses or sits we use and create with….please let the arms override the seat
[12:31] Lily Lewellen (lily.fairelander): would have to test with the zooby baby
[12:31] Peaches2U Camino: so we can hold our hair combs, stuffies, babies, fooooooood and such^^
[12:31] Lily Lewellen (lily.fairelander): My mer baby is attached atm
[12:31] Peaches2U Camino: Matti, Tabi, and I all have them
[12:32] Peaches2U Camino: Awwww ª_ª

[12:34] Fawn Cobalt: oh awesome
[12:35] Fawn Cobalt: MP always seems to be a great way to find thins
[12:35] Fawn Cobalt: 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.
[12:35] Fawn Cobalt: erks 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.

[12:51] Fawn Cobalt: Okay, since Miranda is not here today, I would like to talk about MIranda Barrowstone’s Antiquity.
[12:51] Fawn Cobalt: Antiquity is actually spread out over 16 interconnected sims with activity both on land and under the water. This is a destination for mermaids, merfolks and humans. Antiquity is very inclusive and all are welcome – kids, mers, furs, landers, and they are LGBTQ+ friendly. They are a place for RP but don’t have set stories, so everyone is welcome to work out their own.
[12:51] Fawn Cobalt: These Antiquity sims have a system called TCS, which is a craft/trade/rp system that allows you to trade goods with others, and also to harvest and create things. Antiquity also has homes available for rent and shopping spaces. You can reach Antiquity by teleporting to this SLURL
Antiquity Bexar (178,107,2)
[12:52] Fawn Cobalt: and then go on to explore all of the 16 different sims. Have fun!!!!
[12:52] Sophia (saphierna): wacth out for cannon ball there
[12:53] Fawn Cobalt giggles
[12:53] Fawn Cobalt: I would also like to mention that I am currently lobbying Linden Lab to change or eliminate those pesky group limits. You know the old “I can’t join because my groups are maxed out” syndrome!! I have put a proposal on the SL website and the more votes it gets the more likely Linden Lab is to take some potential action on it. My proposal would help all group owners, including Safe Waters Foundation and other aquatic groups, by giving group owners the option to make their groups exempt from the limit. You can read about it (and vote for it if you so choose) here: https://feedback.secondlife.com/feature-requests/p/give-group-owners-the-option-to-make-their-group-exempt-from-group-limits

[12:58] Sophia (saphierna): if anyone wants them

[13:00] Fawn Cobalt: 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
