L.A. SIM EVENT PLANNING/RESIDENT GROUP MEETING

Post by solomon mosely »

Greetings Fellow L.A. residents and CDS'ers,

This is an effort to put one of Jamie's many productive proposals to work. First off, I'd like to suggest that this meeting also be the beginning of an L.A. resident town hall meeting of sorts as well. I know it may sound like too much for one meeting, but i want to take advantage of having everyone together at once (or as many as we can wrangle). If it turns out that there is too much to discuss, then we can regroup the discussion and set separate time for a separate town hall. I do assume tho, that we can get what we need covered in one session, and having less meetings would be appreciated by all i think.

I would like to hold our first L.A. resident meeting this Tuesday at 11 a.m. SLT. I think that's an early enough time for our Euro residents and a decent time for Americans to sneak some time in around lunch, but annoyingly early for any Asian folks in our group, and I apologize. If it doesn't work, just say so and we'll work on it.
I'd like to hold the meeting at the little circular public courtyard with the benches along the river in L.A. across from Alexia's place, the first on the left, up stream from the bridge.

We will need someone with the right permissions to come down and make the trees phantom tho, as now you can't really walk around without getting stuck in them. :)

Any CDS residents are of course welcome to attend.

I think at this meeting we should choose a chair and appropriate positions (simple is better).

As a bit of a rough agenda for the meeting, i will list some items below. Feel free to add to this list, throw stuff out, whatever...

1. pick a chair
2. outline chair function (and yes, we will only do this after someone agrees to do it :)
3. address any issues from residents about the purpose/function of the group
4. cover general sim items
5. cover existing/quick brainstorm event proposals
a. Arria will be away on holiday, and has suggested that we adopt an old roman calendar to inspire our event schedule.
b. A benefit canoe race on the river, including the cn section, ending with a concert on the beach. i want to play horseshoes there....
c. Address Rose's cds birthday party.
6. determine if a separate group is needed, schedule as needed.
7. stop talking
8. go away
9. do stuff

So, as you can see, it's a terribly busy schedule... please add any ideas for event ideas, sim issues, group structure/function, chair nominations, etc. here so we can move the actual meeting along as smoothly and quickly as possible.

thanks all!

I think those trees are owned by Symo. i doubt they are modifiable... might want to pick one of the other belvedere's. I'd also suggest you not rely on the forums or in world notices for something sim specific like this.. just hand out a notecard to each land owner.

Note that Sudane's Group will be holding a grand opening celebration which will include quite a bit of live music and excitement on April 26. Until CDS grows quite a bit bigger, lets not conflict with other events if possible!

I'll try to have my procedure document ready for you before the meeting, and for any other sims who wish to pursue this as well.

Thanks Sol, for taking the lead here.

Ehehehe... the trees are mine, sorry! I linked them all when taking a copy for the Content Archivist. They're phantom now. :)

Eudaimonia now!

Thanks for spontaneously starting a helpful conversation, Solomon.
I'll join your informal Tuesday meeting if I am able, though any meeting time in SL always depends on availability of our volunteers.
I expect that we will have a specified path for these 'regional' or 'sim' panels to run, based both on Rose's kind offer to write up an events-running tips & guidelines, and the financial control end I am writing -- which will basically impose a few obvious requirements, like notice to everyone and open meetings. Not too much formality, I hope.
Still I think a brainstorming meeting's great. Thanks for taking that initiative.
I suggest that your group consider the following thoughts, if they like, as part of their discussion:
1. Given the themes, would most LA and CN residents rather see a combined roman-themed events budget? Or two smaller separate ones?
2. Think about what events and occasions are CDS-wide (like our 5th anniversary), and so funded by our central budget, versus what special ones might be locally appropriate or possible that address the neighborhood's specific tone or needs. Yo might want to take a look at our posted Google events calendar -- linked from our web portal -- which shows not only future possible dates and conflicts, but also lists a range of our past events, for ideas.
3. Once a handful of folks talks and brainstorms, generating a list of ideas, how do you think we should cinsult the rest of that sim's or region's residents?

Infortunately I will not be able to participate to the meeting. I have suggested to make some events inspired by the roman calender. Wikipedia has a list of roman festivals. There is a big choice.

I agree with Jamie's suggestion. We should plan events for both sims.
