[17:21] Esme Qunhua: Why is that Jeremy?

[17:22] You: and we'll schedule so he's there for a breakout or two [17:22] You: yay [17:22] Jeremy Braver: I still haven't heard from Chris Haskell yet [17:22] You: okay, well looks like there's room for him [17:22] Jeremy Braver: I will try to get an answer from him soon [17:23] Esme Qunhua: Who is Chris Haskell [17:23] Tek Zeno is Offline [17:23] Jeremy Braver: Chris Haskell is a techy friend of mine [17:23] Jeremy Braver: he is good at tech set up and could be of great help on site [17:24] You: I think we could use some good building here in SL, and we need to make sure we make decisions about where and when things happen in here [17:24] Jeremy Braver: not to mention the fact that he is an Ed Tech prof with Boise State through EdTech island in SL [17:24] RavenPhoenix Zenovka: Nice. [17:24] Esme Qunhua: If you want Scott... [17:24] Jeremy Braver: Scott, I think that any decisions that you make we as a group will most likely back up [17:24] You: i helped padl with a pressie in Arkansas and it seems like 10 minutes per guest spot was barely enough [17:24] Esme Qunhua: By then I will be in the middle of my course in SL [17:24] You: so much so that she ran behind [17:24] Jeremy Braver: If we have a problem with it, then we should have been more involved [17:25] You: I appreciate that J [17:25] Esme Qunhua: I have a number of activities and tools that can be viewed and demoed. [17:25] You: that's so cool! your piece will soooo be about your course, Esme [17:25] You: i wish i could take it! [17:25] RavenPhoenix Zenovka: Me, too! [17:25] Jeremy Braver: Agreed, sounds like a great course Esme [17:26] RavenPhoenix Zenovka: What would you like me to do, Scott? [17:26] You: that's funny, in a way, how the potentials have shifted even since the proposal [17:26] Jeremy Braver: a living organism, right? [17:26] RavenPhoenix Zenovka: The space reservation for the island is covered...we have the slots set aside, and I'm not scheduling anything else for that week. [17:27] You: Hmmm I guess maybe make sure we have someone on security so we can minimize any rudeness, be ready to cope with it--it's a big event and an attractive target [17:27] You: great [17:27] Jeremy Braver: Scott, I just need to know when to be in the room, so I can schedule coverage for me [17:27] You: okay [17:27] You: i should have that by the end of May? [17:27] You: or you hassle me for it [17:27] Jeremy Braver: cool, you can have it the week before and I'll be fine [17:27] Esme Qunhua: Jeremy was the only fox with any longevity when the proposal was written. We three were still pretty new. Alot has happended since then [17:27] RavenPhoenix Zenovka: Consider it done.

[17:28] You: lol I would love a page from each of you describing what's going on in our 1st lives [17:28] You: aha [17:28] Jeremy Braver: Seems to me that LL is ggetting more and more involved in the Ed scene here in SL [17:28] RavenPhoenix Zenovka: Oh, Lord...they don't want to know that from me...lol [17:28] Bill Smirnov is Online [17:28] You: I'm just about to kill off my avi from 2005 [17:28] You: lol [17:29] Jeremy Braver: I got about 15 mins with Philip Rosedale at VW NY [17:29] RavenPhoenix Zenovka: And??
