Instead, we'll put our heads together and come up with a list of meet-up topics for the rest of the year, and talk about the format for those. See [[Second Life Meetup Calendar and Learning Activity Signup]]. '''Participants''': Erin Bauer, Larry Havenstein (K State), Melody Jones (CSU-Douglas County), Brian Webster, LuAnn Phillips, Beth Raney, '''Purpose''': Advanced use of eXtension resources, processes in SL, network with other Extension SL users and share info, learn new skills in SL '''Structure''': Begin at 11:30 (SL Time = Pacific Time). Social time 11:30-11:45. Program at 11:45-12:30. Optional Q&A and Networking 12:30-1:00. '''Location''': In Second Life, Linden Labs, San Francisco CA -- infers Pacific Time Zone better. == Meet-Up Ideas: == * Tutorials/training ** Orientation ** Basic Building * Field Trips * Sessions for New SL participants * Shorter sessions (30 Min) * have one person presenting, and another technical buddy to help with teleporting, voice, etc. * Announce topic for each session * Searching * Communications (IM vs Chat, etc.) * How to find a person * How to find people in a group * Alternate training topics with field trip/event * Regular date of month for Orientation session * Quality builds * International Space Museum == Gap Issues: == * Not enough time to practice * If a person gets "lost" don't know how to get back to the group * Need someone to ask a question * Need added to the Cooperative Extension group (add names that people can contact to be added or find out more) == Orientation Helps == * Notecard in SL * Same info in the wiki -- develop this text in the wiki before next month's meeting and try to flesh out useful content * Folder of notecards and freebie items for new group members (polo, tshirt, etc.) * http://www.little-apple.org/SecondLife-Tips-and-tricks.pdf == Topics for coming Meet-Ups: == * May 23 - How to host an Extension event at EduIsland * June 13 - International Space Museum * June 27 - In-world training resources -- Ivory Tower of Prims * July 11 - excursion -- maybe something from Penn State * July 25 - In-world training resources -- Particle Lab (warning -- uses scripting) * Aug 8 - Wildcat Islands Tour - Larry Havenstein, K State * Aug 22 - training == Communications == * Try to use voice for presentations at Meet-Ups so easier to follow conversation '''Encourage''' our group to add to the page at [[Land-Grant University Locations in Second Life]] about work being done in SL by our universities.
