[11:08 AM] Doc(doc.spad): OJK The By-laws require that we have 1/2 plus one to constitute a quorum…we have more than enough members…..This meeting is called to order
[11:09 AM] Doc(doc.spad): first item on the agenda is a vote for the seating of a Membership director…Bren Betts has offered himself up for that position….a short synopsis of his activity here in SL has been posted on the website….
[11:09 AM] Doc(doc.spad): BTWE…Brett can’t make it today because of work
[11:10 AM] Doc(doc.spad): OK…I’ll enter a motion to seat Brett as the new Membership director…second??
[11:11 AM] Khar(kharissa.indigo): second
[11:11 AM] Doc(doc.spad): those in favor?
[11:11 AM] Marge Beaumont: aye
[11:11 AM] Tootsie(tootsie.nootan): aye
[11:11 AM] Bock McMillan: Axel, Jared cannot land
[11:11 AM] Jen(jenelle.levenque): raises hand
[11:11 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): aye
[11:11 AM] Metalkitsune(axelfoxthefoxyfluff): Is Jared on my head?
[11:11 AM] Luckas Horsley: aye
[11:11 AM] Khar(kharissa.indigo): aye
[11:11 AM] Doc(doc.spad): aye
[11:11 AM] Jen(jenelle.levenque): Hi Jared
[11:12 AM] Doc(doc.spad): OK the motion has carried… we almost have a full Board…if anyone knows anyone that might be interested in the Secretary co-chair position…please let me know….Khar …can you please keep our minutes???
[11:13 AM] Khar(kharissa.indigo): I am Doc
[11:14 AM] Doc(doc.spad): Thanks for that…but not releveant at the moment…lets stick to the agends???
[11:14 AM] Doc(doc.spad): cool
[11:15 AM] Doc(doc.spad): I sent out a structure yesterday concerning all the relevant directors and their role in the festival planning…did everyone get that and did you have a chance to read it?
[11:15 AM] Khar(kharissa.indigo): aye
[11:16 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): I did
[11:16 AM] Tootsie(tootsie.nootan): yeppers
[11:16 AM] Jen(jenelle.levenque): was that on the website too?
[11:16 AM] Jen(jenelle.levenque): I think I remember seeing it
[11:17 AM] Doc(doc.spad): I’ll get everyone that wants one a copy…hold on a sec
[11:18 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): It’s a summary of the by-laws, right, or is it something you wrote Doc ?
[11:21 AM] Doc(doc.spad): Who would like a copy… and Pie…I wrote it as a means of organizing the entire festival make-up to make sure everyone knows what their dutues are and to make sure that event and market considerations are taken into account during the build
[11:21 AM] Marge Beaumont: I would please
[11:21 AM] Tootsie(tootsie.nootan): ill take one please, i dont seem to be able to find it
[11:22 AM] Jared Palianta: I want a copy
[11:22 AM] Luckas Horsley: i’ll take one also please
[11:22 AM] Jen(jenelle.levenque): May I have one please?
[11:23 AM] Doc(doc.spad): anyone else?
[11:23 AM] Doc(doc.spad): Marge??? Please look it over and let me know if/where you will need to be consulted with regard to kiosks????
[11:23 AM] Bock McMillan: please¨
[11:24 AM] Marge Beaumont: I will as soon as I get it from you
[11:26 AM] Doc(doc.spad): did you get it Marge?
[11:26 AM] Marge Beaumont: yes thank you
[11:26 AM] Jen(jenelle.levenque): Just glanced over it, but nice job Doc
[11:26 AM] Doc(doc.spad): We really don’t have to go over it here…just IM me if any of you have any questions….
[11:28 AM] Doc(doc.spad): I have formed a Group…exclusive to this team…so that all the Build considerations can be taken there….all the items created for the build can be under that group tag and owned or shared by that group…that way we are not dependent of people being logged into SL if there are problems during the festival..make sense??
[11:28 AM] Rocky Constantine(rockridge.constantine): very good idea
[11:28 AM] Luckas Horsley: Doc i would very pleased if you give me the document about the festival commitee too
[11:29 AM] Doc(doc.spad): I thought I already did…sorry
[11:29 AM] Marge Beaumont: Please make sure that the Paride avatar is included in that group
[11:29 AM] Marge Beaumont: Pride Avatar*
[11:30 AM] Doc(doc.spad): Thanks Marge…makes sense
[11:30 AM] Luckas Horsley: thanks doc
[11:31 AM] Doc(doc.spad): Once again…just read it over and IM me with any changes, suggestions, additions that you may have???
[11:32 AM] Doc(doc.spad): The main concern is that the Build itself takes into consideration the requirements of the events Director and that we are building shops and allowing prims that conform to what we promise our sponsors and renters
[11:33 AM] Doc(doc.spad): an additional concern is going to be the mitigation of lag and designating landing areas that do not clog a single sim…
[11:34 AM] Doc(doc.spad): any comments?
[11:35 AM] Khar(kharissa.indigo): I think the group is a good idea…..keeps the information in the right place and with those who need it
[11:35 AM] Jen(jenelle.levenque): One of the things I did for my group is to put a file cabinet in my office
[11:35 AM] Jen(jenelle.levenque): It’s accessible only to those who need it
[11:36 AM] Doc(doc.spad): OK…then…our second agenda item is complete…. the third item on the agenda was for anything any of the members may want to discuss…or the Board for that matter…I’ll bet there is an item or two?
[11:36 AM] Jen(jenelle.levenque): I put files of policies and procedures in it
[11:36 AM] Doc(doc.spad): Pie?? Lukas?
[11:36 AM] Doc(doc.spad): What Jen?
[11:36 AM] Jen(jenelle.levenque): If you want to know about SOPA/PIPA I have some information
[11:36 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): We sent to the Board a proposition for the Building…. We expect everyone to read it and get back to us to discuss it
[11:37 AM] Doc(doc.spad): Fine….maybe you could get with PIE and share that on the FB page …
[11:37 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): Sure Jen I’ll be happy to share those information with our FB fans
[11:38 AM] Jen(jenelle.levenque): Ok
[11:38 AM] Jen(jenelle.levenque): I’ll put them together and send you a NC
[11:38 AM] Doc(doc.spad): Thanks Lukas and Pie…looks promising…. But I want Khar to outline her needs for the events and get that to you…so that you can tailor things around that?
[11:38 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): Thanks a lot Jen
[11:38 AM] Doc(doc.spad): Thank You Jen
[11:38 AM] Jen(jenelle.levenque): btw, it’s on hold for now
[11:38 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): Of course, that’s the object of the proposition… Gather needs and requests
[11:39 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): and work on that basis
[11:39 AM] Doc(doc.spad): exactly…. Function needs to preceed form…lol
[11:39 AM] Doc(doc.spad): or as Frank Lloyd Wright used to say form follows function
[11:40 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch) nods
[11:40 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): Putting the pipes out of the building to get more space inside
[11:40 AM] Doc(doc.spad): One thing you did mention that intriqed me was using only three sims instead of the five? Does anyone have any thoughts on that?
[11:41 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): Not a joke Khar, just Doc showing he has an impressive architectural culture
[11:41 AM] Rocky Constantine(rockridge.constantine):
[11:41 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): Cost efficiency
[11:41 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): mostly… But everything is explained in the proposition
[11:42 AM] Khar(kharissa.indigo): I need the time to look it all over
[11:42 AM] Khar(kharissa.indigo): I just got it this morning
[11:42 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): I ask the question again, did every Board member receive the proposition + map ?
[11:43 AM] Khar(kharissa.indigo): I did
[11:43 AM] Rocky Constantine(rockridge.constantine): ?
[11:43 AM] Tootsie(tootsie.nootan): got it
[11:43 AM] Rocky Constantine(rockridge.constantine): (unsure)
[11:43 AM] Khar(kharissa.indigo): and I read it
[11:43 AM] Doc(doc.spad): I understand…but we generally have had a place for the AIDS quilt, and other locales within the build…would we have to sacrafice some of those things and would it be a worthy thing to do?
[11:43 AM] Jen(jenelle.levenque): What’s the title of it?
[11:43 AM] Doc(doc.spad): I guess…my thoughts are that in past festivals we have always been able to pay for the sims
[11:43 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): No no no, we were waiting for your suggestions for the Quilt
[11:44 AM] Doc(doc.spad): cost has never been that big of a concern
[11:44 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): Well, it was last year
[11:44 AM] Doc(doc.spad): I understand that…but in all prior festivals…the $$$$ has been there
[11:45 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): Quilt is supposed to be in the Central Plaza next to the flame
[11:45 AM] Doc(doc.spad): can we fit all of that there??? space and prims?
[11:45 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): and the necessary prims have been taken into account
[11:45 AM] Luckas Horsley: sure we can
[11:46 AM] Rocky Constantine(rockridge.constantine) wonders if it will be a tight fit?
[11:46 AM] Marge Beaumont: I think we all need some time to digest the material Pie and Lukas have offered
[11:46 AM] Doc(doc.spad): hasn’t the quilt taken up most of a quarter sim in the past?
[11:46 AM] Khar(kharissa.indigo): close to that
[11:46 AM] Doc(doc.spad): good idea Marge
[11:47 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): Thank you Marge, that’s how it’s meant to be taken
[11:47 AM] Doc(doc.spad): lets devide up what infornmation we need to gather and get prim/space requirements together so that Lukas can work with them?
[11:47 AM] Marge Beaumont smiles and nods at Pie
[11:48 AM] Doc(doc.spad): Does anyone here know about the Quilt people?
[11:48 AM] Doc(doc.spad): contacts etc?
[11:48 AM] Bock McMillan: I have a card
[11:48 AM] Khar(kharissa.indigo): I might but it would take me some time to find it
[11:49 AM] Doc(doc.spad): sweet….forward that to me Bock…unless you would like to contact them yourself and find out if they are willing to do it this year and what they need?
[11:49 AM] Khar(kharissa.indigo): awesome Bock ..save me time please;)))
[11:49 AM] Bock McMillan: did everyone get it?
[11:49 AM] Luckas Horsley: i got it
[11:49 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): Yes Bock
[11:49 AM] Khar(kharissa.indigo): thank you
[11:49 AM] Jared Palianta: ty Bock
[11:49 AM] Luckas Horsley: ty
[11:50 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): FYI There’s an article in Prism (last year issue) explaining everything
[11:50 AM] Khar(kharissa.indigo): sweet back issues
[11:50 AM] Bock McMillan: Jase Byrne, seems to be the guy handling the quilts
[11:50 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): lol
[11:50 AM] Doc(doc.spad): got it…. I’ll contact Jase and see where they stand…as I recall there was some controversy last year or the year before??? Hurt feelings?
[11:51 AM] Bock McMillan: but I tried contacting him about something and never heard from him, so not sure whats up
[11:51 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): Jase is and we should contact him ASAP to tell him we expect his participation
[11:52 AM] Doc(doc.spad): As I recall…it’s a tender item….. we might need to find out what they may require…and then we might need to determine if we can fit it into the scheme??
[11:53 AM] Doc(doc.spad): Arwe there any other “outside” interests that we may want to find space for???? For axample some of the LGBT advocy groups in SL or out-world?
[11:54 AM] Jen(jenelle.levenque): I know TAVA would like a presence
[11:54 AM] Marge Beaumont: again that will take some thought
[11:55 AM] Doc(doc.spad): Understand… OK…Marching orders!!!!
[11:55 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): Yes Jen, we’re really expecting you to join the Festival this year
[11:56 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): Those outsiders have room in the “Market”
[11:56 AM] Jen(jenelle.levenque): Once we get into it, let me know what you would like from us
[11:56 AM] Jen(jenelle.levenque): I’ll check with other Transgender groups too
[11:56 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): I’ll give you the information shortly Jen
[11:57 AM] Doc(doc.spad): I really want everyone here to give this some thought….. get back to me and the Build team group names of groups that need to be contacted about showing a presence at the festival…particularly some of the more active advocacy groups….i.e.- Trevor Project, anti-bullying groups, LGBT rights groups…they should all be able to have a presence at the festival…
[11:58 AM] Doc(doc.spad): Pie??? Do we have information of the number of sponsorships and or vendors we will need to sell space to and how many we will need to pay for this?
[11:58 AM] Jen(jenelle.levenque): I’ll put out the word at the Friday meeting of the Nonprofit groups
[11:58 AM] Doc(doc.spad): And last year would prob not be a good example…prior years would be better
[11:59 AM] Doc(doc.spad): Thanks Jen..THAT would be great
[11:59 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): Some of the information you’re asking for are in our proposition but I’m still working on collecting contacts and talking to people
[11:59 AM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): But results are coming soon
[12:00 PM] Luckas Horsley: raises hand
[12:00 PM] Doc(doc.spad): Does anyone have any information or where we can find it on the 2010 or 2009 festivals in terms of how many sponsorships or how much they cost?
[12:00 PM] Doc(doc.spad): Lukas?
[12:00 PM] Doc(doc.spad): Lukas?
[12:01 PM] Luckas Horsley: is there a a time for the festival ?
[12:01 PM] Marge Beaumont: I have said it before…..there were spreadsheets of all that information in Doccentral
[12:02 PM] Marge Beaumont: is it no longer available?
[12:02 PM] Khar(kharissa.indigo): tentative dates are June 24th -July 7th
[12:02 PM] Doc(doc.spad): I believe we decided to start the festival on the 24 and end it on July 7th
[12:02 PM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): correct
[12:02 PM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): is it final now ?
[12:03 PM] Pιєɾɾιƈk(pierrick.lubitsch): when we talked about it it was unsure
[12:03 PM] Doc(doc.spad): that way it falls over the 29th which is the anneversary of Stonewall
[12:03 PM] Doc(doc.spad): I think that is final
[12:03 PM] Holter: wow
[12:03 PM] Doc(doc.spad): it’s traditionally been for a two week span
[12:04 PM] Doc(doc.spad): last year was the exception
[12:04 PM] Bock McMillan: OK
[12:04 PM] Bock McMillan: I am so forgetful
[12:05 PM] Doc(doc.spad): So…everyone needs to read over Pie and Lukas’s proposal….we ALL need to gather information of groups that we may want to see at the festival… and we need to get informatio of costs, sponsorships, and vendor charges
[12:06 PM] Doc(doc.spad): anything else?
[12:06 PM] Doc(doc.spad): Should we plan on a meeting next week?
[12:06 PM] Khar(kharissa.indigo): I think so
