digigardener: well we have a proposal for a "story of my world"
entry form
Razzle: well we have av99, avvy, and exb
San Marco: Bit is doing Tourworld - who is doing webcam world
digigardener: which will be evaluated for inclusion in the Tour de Worlds
digigardener: I think Thorus
Razzle: is he a builder per say?
San Marco: Thorus is doing Tourworld?
digigardener: I think Thorus is just good at cams
digigardener: Bit might be best for the tour, as she does the Cys
San Marco: well to be honest each person will have to have others to help
in each effort
San Marco: just that they will head up the local team
digigardener: Yes, perhaps we should post this list of who does what and
who can help in general to av-admin
Razzle: right
Windancer: yes
Razzle: Bit def for tourworld
San Marco: I want to post a list of team leaders and ask others to join
Razzle: as we had already talked to her about that
San Marco: hopefully we will get a good spread
San Marco: so now on to exbworld
digigardener: ok good plan stu
San Marco: hmmm exhibition world is tricky as I have firm ideas about
that
San Marco: Dave?
Razzle: ahh ok
Razzle: Well lets work with you on that one as well
San Marco: would you and Win have time to work on the exb world (with
a team)?
Razzle: LOL
Windancer: :)
Windancer: no worries
San Marco: we still have to finish the hubworld
San Marco: (or start it :-)
Razzle: yes we do :-)
San Marco: and of course finish the VDR
Razzle: well win and I already know we will be bouncing around alot
San Marco: so you and Win won't be getting any sleep for a while :-)
jupytr: i can help elsewhere too, if needed
Windancer: yes :) also we have to think of the main world, the AV99 it
self
San Marco: Ok that would be good Jupytr
San Marco: Alex- how are your building skills?
XelaG: hmm, i build bots ok :)
San Marco: I can vouch for that!
jupytr: heh
Grendel: I volunteer to be on the Win/Raz team! :-) <if they'll have
me>
digigardener: yes stu, are we just going to refresh certain objects, like
the ground object, etc, to change the look in exhb
XelaG: average i would say
San Marco: Bruce - I think we should get onto the detail later in each
team
Windancer: do we want him Dave?
San Marco: Hi Grendel
digigardener: ok
Razzle: ahhh man :-)
Grendel: Hi SM
Grendel: :-p
XelaG: hi Grendel
San Marco: will Sajinka be able to help too Grendel?
Grendel: I think she is already involved in some way
San Marco: well I did speak to her but not lateley
Grendel: she was the one who convinced me to volunteer! :-)
San Marco: oh
Razzle: grin :-)
San Marco: ok so what worlds are left to discuss?
Windancer: maybe Sajinka and Grendel could do the cam worlds? Thous witht
the actual cams etc?
Windancer: the main one
San Marco: hmmm - Bruce what is the main one AV99 going to consist of?
digigardener: the "webcam central" is certainly a simple design
i thinlk
digigardener: well i think just a GZ entry area with very high frame rate
and very clear directions to the conf worlds
Windancer: ok so if that does not take long we can use S and G in other
places to
digigardener: kind of like this i guess (but without the framerate chewing
cam)
San Marco: so the Avhub will be the conference lobby
digigardener: Avhub would be like the bigboard in here.. the gz for the
VDRs
San Marco: oh right - yes
San Marco: so I think we have people for all the worlds right?
Razzle: avvy
San Marco: oh Avvy
digigardener: And we have folks for other functions, hosting, PKs, Speaker
recruite and documentation
Razzle: who is handling that one?
digigardener: Hmm
San Marco: hmmm
Razzle: hmmmmm:-)
San Marco: (I hear finger drumming)
digigardener: well it is a world with a look similar to the art gallery
digigardener: and a function similar to the tour of worlds
digigardener: it shows the previous years avvy winners
San Marco: so.......
digigardener: and presents entries and winners for 99
digigardener: it could be a specially kitted out VDR
digigardener: with balooons
digigardener: and black walls with firework textures etc
San Marco: hmmm
San Marco: sounds like Bruce would like to head that team
digigardener: bit could contribute an auditorium setting
digigardener: like for the Cys
Immigration Officer: You are being joined by Sajinka.
digigardener: I guess i could work on that
digigardener: sajinka is tryihg to get in
San Marco: just tgd her
digigardener: and sue wilcox will be involved in judging the avvys
San Marco: I think we will need a coordinating web page
San Marco: where we can post designs and ideas etc
Windancer: can I suggest to that we do try to make the wolrds appear flowing
and connected.. meaning perhaps the use of some textures etc the same
in each world.. try and get a overall feel for the whole event.. (I know
artsty stuff :) but I think it would be w
Immigration Officer: You are being joined by Sajinka.
digigardener: yes this is a huge job
Windancer: worth the effort, it would give a better presentation
digigardener: the webpage
San Marco: right Win - that was my thought exactly
Sajinka: Hello everyone :-))
digigardener: and sandra wood has offered to help
Windancer: ok good
XelaG: hi Sajinka
San Marco: Hi Sajinka
digigardener: hi Saj
Windancer: hi Sajinka
Grendel: Hey there Saj
San Marco: Grendel has volunteered you to do all the worlds Sajinka :-)
Sajinka: it's so good to see you all!
San Marco: (just kidding)
Grendel: HEY!
Sajinka: LOL
jupytr: heheh
Grendel: You tryin' to get me killed?
San Marco: who me :-)
digigardener: wow we have a super team this year
Sajinka: no problem, I've got nothing but free time ;-)
Razzle: hi Sajinka
San Marco: great
Sajinka: hey Raxx!
Sajinka: oops
Sajinka: Razz
Sajinka: what's the topic?
Razzle: <---feels like a pool tablke now raxx them up!
Sajinka: hee hee
San Marco: Sajinka - I'll post the log to you
San Marco: so folks...
San Marco: I think we should arrange meetings in separate teams next
Windancer: so we shall have the world team leaders, and still have to
fill builders to some degree
San Marco: I want to give some thought to overall concepts first
XelaG: hmm, just one thought
San Marco: yes thats right Win
San Marco: yes Alex?
XelaG: i'm not a good builder, but my bot is good at somethings in that
respect
XelaG: like cloning, etc
XelaG: if that can help...
San Marco: well you would be useful in the exhibition world I think
Razzle: exb world :-)
Razzle: LOL
San Marco: lots of similar and regularl objects
XelaG: well, if/when my assistance is needed, plz let me know...
digigardener: will we use the form and db for exhibs this year?
San Marco: sure will Alex
Razzle: ahhh good he provided 24 hour service :-)
San Marco: hmmm - I don't think I will have time to resurect the software
Bruce
digigardener: ok it will be a h and crafted job
Razzle: well can we at least get a form up
San Marco: or bot crafted :-)
digigardener: i can have a webform for exhib design post to any number
of folks
Razzle: so we know who will be wanting them
digigardener: or we can collect all webforms then start a hand build
San Marco: yes thats a good idea
San Marco: we can still ask people to choose designs as last year
San Marco: and size of booth etc
digigardener: sure, stu if you can get me those forms i will mount them
on ccon
San Marco: ok
Sajinka: how many worlds are there going to be?
digigardener: but if we are going to do a refresh on booth objects i will
have to regrab screen shots for the forms
Windancer: total 13
San Marco: thats true
digigardener: maybe..
San Marco: we'll have to think about that Bruce
digigardener: folks can choose basic booths..
digigardener: then use the bot to customize in-world?
XelaG: whats 'customize in-world'?
Windancer: so you have your mouse finger ready Saj :)
Sajinka: ;-) always!
Windancer: :) great
San Marco: well it means that Bruce wants you to write a building script
for the booths Alex :-) Possible?
Razzle: means hand building it XeleG and means your bot will be smokennnn
Razzle: :-
Razzle: )
XelaG: what sort of script, Bruce?
Razzle: ack lost my mouth again
San Marco: (XelaG getting worried :-)
XelaG: for building, or a booth-bot?
digigardener: well it may be a bit much in the time we have but..
digigardener: if a guy could stand in the booth and say to the bot "see
this wall, place http://www.etc" on it
digigardener: (or one of us could simply "be" a bot for a day)
XelaG: hmmm, i dont think there will be time, altho it is possible using
click
digigardener: (I feel less intelligent than a bot sometimes)
XelaG: that would not be too complicated to make
San Marco: of course this is something I was hoping to get my db and Alex's
bot to do but time is too short
XelaG: the bot can detect if you click on an object and act on it
digigardener: well it is a bit of a stretch but maybe we can play around
with it..
digigardener: and if we cant get it to work or users to really use it
then we will go back to "the human bot"
XelaG: LOL

jupytr: exactly
Groundbreaking, the spade is raised
digigardener: which i will forward on when I can find it :)
San Marco: lost her already Bruce tut..tut
Razzle: ok good :-)
digigardener: also are we going to use that fantastic neon design we saw
two weeks back?
San Marco: I didn't see that
Razzle: for the tour world yes
digigardener: oh goody, who made that?
digigardener: stu should see that design
San Marco: where is it?
digigardener: you know the tour world should also have little postage
stamps of a scene in each world by or inside the teleporter
San Marco: good idea
digigardener: could call these special tour porters "farcaster doors"
in honor of the now deceased worlds chat, our first world :)
digigardener: just my nostalgia creeping in :)
digigardener: any other brainstorm idea whilst we wait for the groundbreaking?
jupytr: i'm brainstorming to fetch me a drink ;p
Razzle: Bruce this teleport object were thinking oif putting a new texture
on it
Razzle: and that will be the one used thru out av99
Razzle: as you requested :-)
M u n k u y: hello:)
San Marco: let me call you about this
digigardener: yes perhaps and a little coding icon like the avonaut guy
"pointing"
jupytr: hi munkuy
Razzle: yep :-)
M u n k u y: hi jupytr.. long time no er..chat:)
digigardener: i know that win had a kind of rainbow color on her porter
from before
jupytr: uh huh
Razzle: no same texture
Razzle: just doesn't work well in a bright world
digigardener: might be good to have a sign part next to the pointing avonaut
so that folks know this is a 'porter "to avvys" or something
Grendel: brb
digigardener: of course each world must have a "ground station"
Razzle: oh yeah will have to let people know they are teleports
digigardener: which has a set of porters "back to Av99 center"
etc

digigardener: common themes
Razzle: <---kicks bruce for even asking if we can do that :-)
digigardener: contribute ideas to the team
raiven: *kicks bruce for no apparent reason*
Slate: Classical? Modern? Historical?
M u n k u y: *<kicks himself>
Gimel Vav: *kicks bruce so as not to feel left out *
San Marco: how does Bruce do this? He is talking in world and on the phone
to me at same time!
raiven: *kisses himself on the cheek*
San Marco: (Must be one of ZelaG's bots)
digigardener: well common themes are: the logos, telestations at gz to
get people back to the other worlds..
Sajinka: hahaha
Windancer: hhaa
M u n k u y: well
digigardener: and maybe a common signage, like last year
raiven: And a common enemy would be good
Gimel Vav: How about some UNcommon themes.
Windancer: really you two, thats cheating.. you should be in whisper
digigardener: signs everywhere
raiven: err,, no i didn't say that! :)
digigardener: that go back to the conf pages etc
jupytr: gotta love those analog drum machines...
raiven: Hey Bruce, did Cryo ever give us a newsgroup to use?
digigardener: everyone listen: send me email with your ideas me via www.ccon.org
and if you committed to being a team leader
Gimel Vav: How about signs that take you to broken links.
digigardener: i will post the log
M u n k u y: I got a cube like thingy I made...2 Interlacing networks
of 3D lines...forming 2 cubes.... like a really dumb sculpture:)
digigardener: and try to get a page up with team names and team members
digigardener: hmm yes we could use a newsgroup i guess
raiven: Digi, we need an AW newsgroup set aside for av99 planning, JP
already O.K.'D it
M u n k u y: We could also use free tee-shirts..everyone loves those:)
raiven: that way everyone sees all the messages
digigardener: I will post a page of team members, leaders to the list
and you can get back to me if you are there or missioing or have other
suggestions
raiven: rather than, emails all over with "he said she said they
said why to do this over there no he said over there, no wait..."
digigardener: hmm who can request and run a newsgroup, i am a newbie to
that
Grendel: ah raiven, you take all the fun out of committee work! ;-)
raiven: LOL
digigardener: folks send me ideas for teams, your roles etc via www.ccon.org
raiven: Trust me, last year it was a mess getting what was REALLY going
on... a newsgroup would be optimal
Razzle: Bruce didn't you tell me Raiven was making all the av's for this
years event?
raiven: *looks around* am i?
Slate: Ha!
M u n k u y: how about.... a cult team... where we all worship the logo
dude in the spacesuit:)
digigardener: the avs organizing team and process is still being worked
out
raiven: Well i'll be at my new job with a turbo computer...so avatars
will be so much less time consuming yay
digigardener: altho we will accept submissions from several av designers
raiven: but that's besides the point, we need a newsgroup. and then we'll
talk about av's :)
digigardener: and this does not restrict them from submitting to the avvys
also
digigardener: raiven do you know how to run a newsgroup?
digigardener: did JP offer one?
Grendel: all those in favor of a newsgroup jump up
Razzle: <---hates n/g's
jupytr: if not a newsgroup, then a bulletin board.. java
Razzle: avoids them like a plage
sandarroch: we could set up something from a free service, like egroups
raiven: Jp = Cryonics right? (gets names confused)
Razzle: yes raiven
M u n k u y: <doesnt like newsgroups cause people like Eep write stuff
in em>
Razzle: egroups is goiod for mass mailing
raiven: Razzle, well we need something where EVERYONE goes to see messages
and get information, last year, i was constantly having to go to Bruce
for confirmations on things. which wasted a lot of time
jupytr: i don't like them much either... they breed the rabid spellchecker
mentality lol
raiven: we need a closed newsgroup for mass planning
raiven: mass emailing would mean, we got mail for EVERY facet of the project,
when we only need info on parts we are involved in, say for me, i'd go
right to the avatar posts in the NG
sandarroch: an egroup can be closed and can be webbased as well as email,
I think
jupytr: there are message boards that run off java.. if usenet is too
involved.
jupytr: it's just like a webpage. simple.
digigardener: hello is that you sandy wood?
Soul Man: hey all
sandarroch: hi bruce, yes
sandarroch: it's me
Razzle: raiven simple put :-)
Razzle: I don't run a ng pgm on my system
digigardener: want to talk about the webpage?
sandarroch: sure
raiven: That's too bad Dave, NG's can be used as a wonderful collaborative
medium
digigardener: folks who has web design skills
Sajinka: I do
Windancer: umm me
sandarroch: me too
Slate: I web - some
M u n k u y: I have an Dreamweaver 2... and know basic HTML
digigardener: well sandy has offered to be our webster for the evnet
raiven: Well, my current job is as a webmaster but i don't know if i can
find time to do the av99 site
digigardener: and i am finally getting to the point where we can get the
site going
Sajinka: I work with DW 2 all day long.... day in and day out.... <sigh>
heheheheh
M u n k u y: hehe
M u n k u y: Tedious, eh?
digigardener: got categories, team members, timing etc finally (sorry
sandy for the delays)
sandarroch: I have dw altho I prefer Homesite
Sajinka: can be, yes :-)
raiven: I like net objects fusion :)
sandarroch: sure, altho this is going ok too
Slate: Break the site up into chunks we can share
sandarroch: oops
sandarroch: sure
M u n k u y: I dont use it that much... just leave it to eat hard-drive
space:)
Windancer: thanks again for the Sydney event.. we are both so looking
forward to it :)
sandarroch: you mean now?
Windancer: we will need to collaberate me thinks.. allissio mentioned
that he spoke to you about it all
M u n k u y: <coughs>
Slate: Love to try a little VRML on this.
Sajinka: so is the website a matter of redoing an existing one or creating
from scratch?
M u n k u y: VRML....thtas an evil language "Hisssssss>
Sajinka: ewww, hate vrml :-p
Slate: Ha!
Grendel: I must away...I vill avait orders, mein herrs!!

Razzle: bye Grendel :-)
Slate: You would rather have DirectX
M u n k u y: <dances with joy>
digigardener: a good sign!!!
Slate: Bye
M u n k u y: hmmm
digigardener: well we will see you all
raiven: Bruce, if not newsgroups, than something, i just want a place
where i can see, listed, everyon's messages, in different areas, and have
the ability to access them whenever i want.
M u n k u y: man..this object at GZ has sharp edges.. someone is gonna
lose an eye on it
digigardener: yes we should request a newsgroup
Sajinka: yes, if we don't have a common place to go for info then we will
get buried under inefficiencies and confusion
sandarroch: Sajinka, Slate, Munkuy, can I get in touch with you about
the website
Sajinka: absolutely
M u n k u y: sure thing.....
sandarroch: will talk about how to break into chunks
raiven: just like last year sajinka... :)
M u n k u y: daniel_pawlak@email.com
Slate: ....hmmm
sandarroch: ok, will do - and any advice, sounds like you worked on it
last year
Sajinka: sajinka@home.com
M u n k u y: k.... we can talk about how to split it up
raiven: So anyone know how to setup a newsgroup? if not i will try and
find out how, and get AW.com on it if possible?
Immigration Officer: You are being joined by DJ Party.
M u n k u y: mind you though..Im not the best at graphics... so someone
else has to do those.. I can write the website..and put the graphics in
though
raiven: Then we will need a list of contributers
Sajinka: I can find out here at work about the newsgroup set up... I could
email you.
digigardener: (to sandarroch) seems like there are lots of folks willing
to "help" on the website
jupytr: i do excellent graphics. ask me if you need anything at all.
sandarroch: yes!
M u n k u y: oh..cool
Slate: Well I am a graphic designer...
raiven: We will need a list of all team leaders, and team participators,
then we shal see if we can get a closed newsgroup, and give the access
password to all involved
sandarroch: yes please, jupytr
sandarroch: and slate
M u n k u y: hehe
Slate: eep
digigardener: I tg-ed JP to ask for a newsgroup
M u n k u y: WHERE?..lol
