UUtopia Report – Zyzzy
- I’ve been in contact with Pomona. I’ve asked her to give me modify permission for her stuff, as I’m considering moving it to a skybox.
- LunaLinda wanted a 1024, but there wasn’t one available, which is why I’m thinking of moving Pomona.
- Options:
- Put Pomona’s stuff in a skybox
- Move her meditation area in the commons, rest into a skybox
- Split some of Zyzzy’s land to free up some 1024’s
Outreach – Et
- FYI: Revised Article II is a topic for January in my RL congregation.
- Et updated the Article II billboard with the latest wording.
Library Report – ?
- Pomona will not be in SL for the foreseeable future.
- Et has set up a blue ball object behind the new Article II Values billboard to accept notecards: service notecards or OOS’s. They will be renamed “OOS yyyy-mm-dd topic (name of service leader)” (it might change, Et to rename.) Also setting up a set of panels, one for each year, to retrieve services. January: Still in progress, but a few years should show up Really Soon.

Saturday Service
– TED
Saturdays have been just a few people, so I haven’t done the BUNT homilies. Trying to alternate Open Topic with a subject homily. Good discussions and company.
New Business
- Are we still called Lovelace? (Check FUUSCL website; may be a historical artifact)
- Should we drop Kiva and find another way to have an effect in RL? (Zyzzy)
(note to Sofia if you see this–we did lose your voice partway through your comments as you fully crashed)
Motion: No new Kiva loans to be made.
(seconded and passed. Note Joan Ixito was the originator of this.)
Homework: research options for SJ work here in SL. (Grameen Bank? Camp Hill food bank)
FYI: Camp Hill food pantry donations can be sent to:
Facebook: Camp Hill UU page
