[09:08] Rosie Gray: thank you Ranma
[09:08] Tanoujin Milestone: afk for MINUTE
[09:08] Rosie Gray: Well, to start off this term, we threw the Winter Fantasy Inaugural Ball
[09:09] Rosie Gray: and then at the end of December, the Skating Spree
[09:09] Rosie Gray: at the same time as anticipating that the budget for the term will be approved by the RA, in order to pay for a few things
[09:10] Rosie Gray: not much else so far, it has been a difficult time to try and get people together to plan things
[09:10] Rosie Gray: the Colonia Nova and Neufriestadt tiers have been adjusted by Sudane
[09:10] Rosie Gray: to match the additional prims now on each parcel
[09:10] Rosie Gray: and the parcels for sale have been updated in their descriptions
[09:11] Rosie Gray: one other thing
[09:11] Rosie Gray: the Omphalos (the round thingie in the water in Colonia Nova by the Rhenus Docks)
[09:12] Rosie Gray: is being worked on for an update by Sudane
[09:12] Bagheera Kristan: the memorial objects
[09:12] Rosie Gray: for anyone not familiar with it
[09:12] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Do you mean in LA, Rosie?
[09:12] Rosie Gray: it houses the time-capsule objects put down by citizens some years ago
[09:12] Rosie Gray: oh yes, sorry I do Gaius, thanks
[09:12] Laura Azalee: ohhh
[09:13] Rosie Gray: so, the time-capsule objects will of course stay put
[09:13] Bagheera Kristan: nice
[09:13] Rosie Gray: but the old building on top of it is really dated
[09:13] Rosie Gray: so I've asked Sudane to make another one
[09:13] Rosie Gray: she's excited about doing that
[09:14] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): ㋡
[09:14] Rosie Gray: I think that's all I have right now, until we get to the budget
[09:14] Bagheera Kristan: great for Sudane !
[09:14] Rosie Gray: does anyone have any questions?
[09:14] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker)Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker) raises hands.
[09:14] Rosie Gray: yes Gaius?
[09:14] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Well, I guess one hand will do.
[09:14] Rosie Gray: hehe
[09:14] Bagheera Kristan: :D
[09:15] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): You spoke about event planning. Will CDS Pride be celebrated again this term and, if so, will it be planned like last year or by the PIOs and the government?
[09:16] Rosie Gray: oh gosh
[09:16] Rosie Gray: well, I have wanted to have a meeting with the PIOs, and indeed with all of the EM's
[09:16] Rosie Gray: to talk over things like events
[09:16] Rosie Gray: and make plans... but over the holidays it was just not possible to get everyone together
[09:16] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker)Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker) nods
[09:16] Rosie Gray: and I don't want to make all the plans by myself
[09:17] Rosie Gray: when is the Pride celebration usually held?
[09:17] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Well, we held it last year around April
[09:17] Bagheera Kristan: raises hand
[09:17] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Late April
[09:17] Rosie Gray: I would love to see another Pride celebration
[09:17] Rosie Gray: and it would be great if you, or anyone who has a particular interest
[09:18] Rosie Gray: would like to be the main coordinator for it
[09:18] Rosie Gray: does that answer your question?
[09:18] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Perfect!
[09:18] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Yes!
[09:18] Rosie Gray: great!
[09:18] Rosie Gray: yes Bagheera?
[09:18] Bagheera Kristan: Just a reminder - and this is on me as much as anyone - we want to remember to add our events to the main LL calendar so it shows up on the map .
[09:19] Rosie Gray: yes of course
[09:19] Rosie Gray: I think we've been doing that
[09:19] Bagheera Kristan: I think it would be good to encourage everyone to watch for that and remind if they don't see it, because it slips through the cracks all the time
[09:19] Bagheera Kristan: right :) no judgment, just a reminder :)
[09:19] Bagheera Kristan: thanks !
[09:19] Rosie Gray: thank you
[09:19] Rosie Gray: anything else?

[09:20] Rosie Gray: yes Laura
[09:20] Laura Azalee: I wanted to leave this for the citizens concerns section but since we are tslking of events
[09:21] Laura Azalee: a resident complained the other day she had missed the skating event because there is too much stuff in that period
[09:21] Rosie Gray: too much stuff?
[09:21] Laura Azalee: so I was wondering if we couuld have another one in Jannuary?
[09:21] Laura Azalee: yes too many events
[09:21] Rosie Gray: oh sure
[09:22] Laura Azalee: too many things to do in both worlds

[09:23] Rosie Gray: and also want to thank everyone who has helped on these events, it makes it all possible ㋡

[09:34] Rosie Gray: hi Mizou!
[09:34] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Hi Mizou!
[09:34] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): Hi :)
[09:34] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Welcome home ㋡
[09:34] Bagheera Kristan: raises hand
[09:34] Ranma Tardis: yes Bags
[09:35] Tanoujin Milestone: budget:
[09:35] Tanoujin Milestone: Hey Mizou :)
[09:35] Bagheera Kristan: in the Chancellor's original submission, she mentioned making a separate marketing budget but hadn't gotten to it yet. Will that happen? I am mostly just curious becuase she mentioned it
[09:35] Bagheera Kristan: done?
[09:36] Bagheera Kristan: done.
[09:36] Rosie Gray: may I answer?
[09:36] Ranma Tardis: Rosie I yield the floor to you
[09:36] Rosie Gray: thank you
[09:36] Rosie Gray: unfortunately I wasn't able to get the PIO's together to talk about events and advertising
[09:37] Rosie Gray: which is so important for our budget
[09:37] Rosie Gray: but I have drafted one up anyway
[09:37] Rosie Gray: sorry give me a minute to find that
[09:37] Bagheera Kristan: ty
[09:38] Rosie Gray:
[09:39] Rosie Gray: I will stress that this is preliminary as I really want the PIO's to have input
[09:40] Bagheera Kristan: raises hand
[09:40] Rosie Gray: and, also whatever the 'budgeted' amount is, would be the maximum that I don't expect to always spend
[09:40] Rosie Gray: yes Bags?
[09:41] Bagheera Kristan: just for clarity - in the original budget, you mentioned 6000 and this has 12000 a month. I am fine with spending more, I am just asking for clarity - is this 12000 in addition to the 6000? is it instead of? or is this 12000 a combination of 6000 and money from a different line item in the original budget?
[09:42] Rosie Gray: the 12000 in the main budget is a monthly amount
[09:42] Rosie Gray: so the final year total is 72,000
[09:42] Bagheera Kristan: - this is a link to the original budget from your notecard of Dec 15th
[09:43] Rosie Gray: yes
[09:43] Rosie Gray: if you look at row B
[09:43] Bagheera Kristan: in it, you allocate 6000 for advertising and mention that is part of the event
[09:43] Rosie Gray: that is the monthly amount
[09:43] Rosie Gray: and row C would be for the term
[09:43] Bagheera Kristan: OH sorry, right
[09:43] Bagheera Kristan: da, I am stupid, sorry
[09:43] Bagheera Kristan: I see it now
[09:43] Bagheera Kristan: thank you
[09:43] Rosie Gray: ah, and no the separate advertising amount would be to advertise the community
[09:44] Rosie Gray: not including events
[09:44] Bagheera Kristan: got it
[09:44] Rosie Gray: so two different budget lines
[09:44] Bagheera Kristan: okay, thank you
[09:44] Rosie Gray: ㋡
[09:44] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker)Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker) nods
[09:44] Rosie Gray: okay
[09:44] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker)Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker) raises hand
[09:44] Rosie Gray: yes Gaius?
[09:44] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): How will you advertise us?
[09:44] Rosie Gray: that is what I need to discuss with the PIO's
[09:44] Rosie Gray: one of the main things
[09:45] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Ok ㋡
[09:45] Rosie Gray: from past experience, I've found it difficult to find useful places to advertisie
[09:45] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker)Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker) nods
[09:45] Rosie Gray: and there's really no way of finding our ROI from them
[09:45] Rosie Gray: ROI = return on investment
[09:46] Bagheera Kristan: ((afk for rl...brb))
[09:46] Rosie Gray: anyway, of course we must persist
[09:46] Ranma Tardis: nods
[09:46] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker)Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker) nods
[09:46] Rosie Gray: and one of the things on my list to try and address is our very old kiosks
[09:46] Rosie Gray: they are our best way of putting out what is happening
[09:46] Rosie Gray: and we do have them in various places on the grid
[09:47] Rosie Gray: but the technology is very old
[09:47] Bagheera Kristan: ((back))
[09:47] Ranma Tardis: finished Rosie?
[09:47] Rosie Gray: yes I think so
[09:47] Rosie Gray: unless there are more questions?
