[10:03] 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!
[10:03] Celtic Infinity cheers for Miranda!!!???
[10:04] 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.
[10:04] 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.
[10:04] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): brb real quick X_X
[10:05] 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.
[10:05] Miranda Barrowstone: so how was you week seafolk?
[10:05] Celtic Infinity: It was good, thanks! How was yours, Miranda?

[10:08] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): suddenly stressful, but now better
[10:08] Grace (GraceSWF Wrigglesworth): I love how lilacs look
[10:08] Celtic Infinity: I planted some under my bedroom window. 🙂

[10:10] Miranda Barrowstone: we all help each other
[10:10] Miranda Barrowstone: okay so the order is my introduction-done, 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 us out with our goals, maybe a group hug and picture.
[10:10] Miranda Barrowstone: so here we go
[10:11] Celtic Infinity buckles up
[10:11] Miranda Barrowstone: any new folk today? don’t be shy
[10:11] Miranda Barrowstone: If you have brought someone new to this gathering, please introduce them now. If you are new and wish to introduce yourself please do so now.
just click on the podium to sit on it or sit were you are if thats just easier.
[10:12] Miranda Barrowstone: A very short sentence is all that is needed – for example: hi, I am (your name) and I discovered aquatics (brief description of how you found us) and what I love about being aquatic is (explain here).
[10:12] Grace (GraceSWF Wrigglesworth): next time I will try to bring a friend!
[10:12] Miranda Barrowstone: sweet!
[10:13] Miranda Barrowstone: so anyone new here? (I seriouslly have bad eyesight and a bad memory so I ask everytime)
[10:13] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): hi I’m Fina. I’m an orca!
[10:13] Miranda Barrowstone: thught there was something new
[10:13] Celtic Infinity: \me feeds Fina a salmon

[10:14] Miranda Barrowstone: yes salmon is the noms
[10:14] Grace (GraceSWF Wrigglesworth): I thought Fina was eating cats this year?

[10:14] Miranda Barrowstone cries at the thought
[10:14] Grace (GraceSWF Wrigglesworth): Fantasy Faire theme
[10:14] Grace (GraceSWF Wrigglesworth): I thought last week you said the theme is cats this year
[10:14] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident): Oy vey…
[10:15] Grace (GraceSWF Wrigglesworth): so I thought it was your menu
[10:15] Grace (GraceSWF Wrigglesworth): bad Gracie!
[10:15] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident): <<–Jewfish [10:15] Grace (GraceSWF Wrigglesworth) goes quiet [10:15] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): HeHeHeHeHeHe [10:15] Miranda Barrowstone: okay well… lets swim on [10:15] Miranda Barrowstone: Questions and support requests 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. [10:16] Miranda Barrowstone: When you are called on (and given our invisible talking stick) please swim up to this podium (so people can see you to im if needed) and share (very briefly and preferable in two or three sentences typed in advance as our meeting time is limited) [10:17] Miranda Barrowstone: If you would like to ask question or put forth support ideas – please im me now. [10:17] Miranda Barrowstone: Our priority here is helping newer mers and aquatics – so please if you are new and with questions – please feel free to speak up. I do lead strongly because otherwise we tend to move to chaos – but we all try to remember the priority – mer helping mer be mer. [10:18] Miranda Barrowstone: so any questions topics of support etc? [10:18] Miranda Barrowstone hums the jeopardy theme [10:19] Celtic Infinity dances [10:19] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident): oookies okie… [10:19] Miranda Barrowstone: okay Echo you have the stick [10:19] Celtic Infinity claps for Echo [10:19] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident): Magic stick here i come…. [10:19] Marion Sopwith (Marion698 Resident): claps for Echo [10:19] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident) chuckles [10:20] Celtic Infinity claps for Echo [10:20] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident): well the topic of notecards popped up a little bit ago…. [10:20] JewelMermaid Resident: yay echo [10:20] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident): i thought, along with out hangouts notecard, which is a great way to share our favorite hang outs and new builds, we could put together a list for shopping places? [10:21] Miranda Barrowstone: sounds good. [10:21] Sushi (Aurora Jarvinen): mlem mah bro <3 [10:21] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident): favorite stores for mer-parts/accessories….i know everyone has something from somewhere that others wouldnt think to look at [10:21] Munin (Darm Yaffle): rawrs [10:21] Miranda Barrowstone: are you making this list? [10:21] Motoko Kusanagi (Motoko Takeda): You know what might be easier to maintain than a notecard? A wiki. [10:21] Munin (Darm Yaffle): <3 [10:21] Marion Sopwith (Marion698 Resident): tala Munin:-) [10:21] Sushi (Aurora Jarvinen): <3 [10:21] Miranda Barrowstone: wikis are awesome but why not both? [10:22] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident): true Motoko, but notecards are more direct and easier for the less techno-knowledgeable [10:22] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident): lol [10:22] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident): but we could do both! [10:22] Miranda Barrowstone: I don’t always think to go to a website [10:22] Motoko Kusanagi (Motoko Takeda): Yes but if a sim goes down or changes, a wiki is easier to update and track. [10:22] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident): it is, thats true [10:22] Miranda Barrowstone: true [10:22] Motoko Kusanagi (Motoko Takeda): Just have the notecard also mention the wiki >:D
[10:23] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident) nods
[10:23] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident): top idea
[10:23] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident): like “for latest updates, visit the wiki link below”
[10:23] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident) grins
[10:23] Motoko Kusanagi (Motoko Takeda): Yeah!
[10:23] Grace (GraceSWF Wrigglesworth): Moto – can you work on this with Serena and Chicky?
[10:23] Grace (GraceSWF Wrigglesworth): they update the hangouts list
[10:23] Miranda Barrowstone: there used to be a system that would update all the notecards in all the vendors
[10:23] Motoko Kusanagi (Motoko Takeda): I sure can, Grace!
[10:24] Grace (GraceSWF Wrigglesworth): the wiki address would need someone to manage it of course
[10:24] Miranda Barrowstone: I have a shop I’d like to put in
[10:24] Grace (GraceSWF Wrigglesworth): but we could put a link into our hangout updates
[10:24] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident): so many people looking to find mer parts…and out Mall is the perfect starter, but some want to expand and I’ve seen lots of odd shops sell a few things that they dont normally
[10:24] Grace (GraceSWF Wrigglesworth): well lets have a little brainstorming meeting outside of here ok?
[10:25] Miranda Barrowstone: aye
[10:25] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident): yay!
[10:25] Grace (GraceSWF Wrigglesworth): big yay!!! \o/
[10:25] Motoko Kusanagi (Motoko Takeda): It seems like shops are beginning to dip their fingers in the aquatic market indeed, which is always a welcome addition. More content good.
[10:25] Echo (JessicaRubyRabbit Resident) grins and passes the magic stick back to Miranda…”thankies”
[10:25] Miranda Barrowstone: okay so your task is to work with Chicky and Serena. save the chat.
[10:26] Miranda Barrowstone: you’re welcome

[10:33] 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.
[10:33] Miranda Barrowstone: Perks include helping the group and being allowed to post ads in the group twice a day. Add in the fact that anyone can ask for the stick and that is great exposure.
[10:34] Miranda Barrowstone: You might also consider being a hang out.
[10:34] Miranda Barrowstone: or hosting one. thats works too
[10:34] Grace (GraceSWF Wrigglesworth): I maybe can throw in a free coffee cup

[10:43] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): Jail & Bail usually has two competing kiosks (“Get Them Out” and “Keep Them In”), but anyway, this year, the pawlice got SMASHED. like, wasn’t even close =^-^= the Fairelanders overwhelmingly thought we were too cute to keep in jail!
