Today at 4pm EST - Cobalt on the agenda for our Immersive Education Platform Ecosystem and Education Grid status and review

Hello everyone,

An overview of Cobalt is on the agenda for today's in-world meeting, which
starts at 4pm EST, so that we can give Immersive Education Initiative members an
overview of Cobalt and how it relates to Croquet. If you're working on Cobalt
and would like to make a few comments during today's discussion I'd be happy to
"turn the mic" over to you during this part of the discussion, so please feel
free to join us and contribute your thoughts about Cobalt to the conversation.

The materials for this meeting are also listed below and available on our events
Web page as always.

Regards,
Aaron

will be reviewed.

related to this in-world meeting.

This meeting starts at 4pm EST (1pm pacific / Second Life time) and ends at 5pm

Aaron, are you going to reschedule this?

Since the Second Life guys temporarily reduced services and also  
turned off logins 10 minutes before the start of the meeting for at  
least 30 minutes I gave up for today.

Hi Mark, we're sending out cancellation notices now; only a few people could get in, so we'll be rescheduling. I'll post  that note to the croquet group now, and we'll meet next week instead. See you soon, Aaron

Hello everyone, Second Life has been down and had reduced log-in access for the
past hour so most of us can't get into today's meeting. As of now (4:20pm EST)
I'm still locked out, and so are most of the others although it appears that 5
people made it in. Barbara was among those who made it in before the services
were cut off, so she's letting everyone there know we'll reschedule on account
of digital rain. I'll spread the word via email now, and we'll reset this event
for next Friday. See you all in-world soon. Aaron

Hello Sharon, am I missing something? Splenda and Nestle are two different companies, and I've read through some (but not all) of the materials you sent buy don't see anything specifically about Splenda -- happy to reconsider the next venue, of course, if there is a connection but at the moment I don't see it (feel free to email me directly as this thread may carry on).

Aaron,

I have spoken to the Cybergoddess about this, and she assures me your
hard drive is safe.  McNeil Industries belongs to another corporation
she's not too fond of.  Perhaps she was distracted.

Just the same, she tells me that you have gained her goodwill by
helping to publicize the NESTLE BOYCOTT -- but  I don't know if the
Cybergoddess hands out good karma or not.

Happy weekend
SC
