UUtopia Report – Zyzzy
- Bel has left her parcel
- Peter added UUtopia ENE2, a 2048
Outreach – Et
- Some activity with the Sunday CLF service. Again every Sunday the CLF ministers are aware that Second Life is attending. This past weekend I sent some screenshots to the CLF facebook page and got some interest, but subsequent conversations have shown that the CLF folks have busy schedules also. We did have 2 people log into SL right away but they needed more time to learn to walk around.
- Et is still actively working on our relationship with UUA and discussed some of his strategies.
Library Report – Bel
- The Ancient Religions area is now open. I’m still working on content but the teleport to the new area is in the library.
- I’m also working on a science and “religion” or beliefs area. There is a door in the library but it is set to group only and can be accessed by Library of World religion group members only. I’ve also placed construction hats near the areas still being built.
- Since World Religion Day, January 19, 2015 we have had 847 visitors to the library.
- I’m still working on transferring what I can to LuvWorldReligions avatar so that UUtopia will have as many library assets as possible should I have to step down from the librarian position eventually. I have no plans to do so at this time but one never knows.
- Bel is considering changing the waterfalls for newer versions
Worship Report- Tee
- Et lead the last two services and Tee will lead tonight
- Et recommends using WorshipWeb as a source for sermons (the site with a lot of general guidance on writing services)
- (a database of prayers and readings from the UUA)
- A list of services is in the FUUCSL Annual Report 14-15, second page. Sofia will update with her information
- We decided to delete the inactive media pyramid near the podium. (It belongs to Zyzzy)
New Business
- LG elections : Elections will be on June 18. Bel will not be returning to LG but will be continuing her work with the library. Sofia, Tee, Et, and Zyzzy, will return. Tee will ask Davo and Peter if they wish to continue. Other ideas: Back up Mom, Carleton, Amy. Ask at every service between now and then.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:20 pm SLT
