New Business
Domain Name Problem: (Zyzzy)
-
Our domain name fuucsl.org expired; CoyoteAngel Dimsum had not noticed.
This problem affected both the web site and the parcel music chooser, but it is fixed now.
CoyoteAngel owned fuucsl.org, fuucsl.com, and fuucsl.net. She has now renewed them all for a year. She will transfer them all to Zyzzy soon – it’s a complicated process.
Zyzzy has also bought uucsl.com and uucsl.org – in case we want to drop the word First from our name at some point.
All of the five names point to the same web site now.
Zyzzy will carry the costs of the domain names, and CoyoteAngel Dimsum will be reimbursed for her emergency purchase so that our names would not expire.
FUUCSL.org Website: (Zyzzy)
-
Zyzzy has changed to WordPress, which has some nice templates.
-
Zena pointed out that it still says “First Unitarian Universalist Church of Second Life” on the mission page. She suggests the Bylaws be corrected on the website.
-
Zyzzy suggested that anyone that would like to contribute content can be authorized, which will keep it current.
-
Old content, such as sermons, can also be added. Articles can be added.
UUtopia.org Website: (Zyzzy)
-
This is a new website, and Joan has been taking the lead on it.
-
Zyzzy has installed google tracking on both websites to see how much traffic they get.
-
Zyzzy suggests a more relevant banner graphic.
-
Etaoin suggested that everyone in the Leadership Group be authorized to work on the websites.
WuudStock Anniversary Party: (Darcy)
-
The one-year anniversary of UUtopia will be celebrated on March 25, 2011. Freda Frostbite is the organizer.
-
Freda has started building a stage in Alcott. There may be live music. There will, of course, be dancing.
History of FUUCSL and UUtopia: (Darcy)
-
Darcy is compiling information from several sources to create a history of FUUCSL and UUtopia.
She will present this at the service on March 17th, and requests everyone to send her anecdotes and memories about FUUCSL and UUtopia.
SL Destination Guide: (Etaoin)

Etaoin will take pictures and try to get us listed in the SL Destination Guide.
