[12:15] JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear: hi Anuradha. Good to see you.
[12:17] join group notice: Thanks, Sussie Smythe. You will get an Invitation soon!
[12:24] You: that's great, that you developed such a seamless, quick system
[12:24] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: the web based system drew quite a large audience
[12:25] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: from as diverse a country as turkmenistan
[12:25] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: germany
[12:25] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: italy
[12:25] You: yes, do you find there really is a different feel with sL vs the web chats?
[12:25] You: i get that resistance a lot
[12:26] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: hello skuu
[12:26] Skuu Voom: Heya.
[12:26] You: hmm, i feel that too, but have a hard time explaining why
[12:26] Anuradha Selene: there is a sense of meeting different personalities, not just cerebral ideas
[12:27] Anuradha Selene: there is a kind of 'reality' because of being 3D and colours
[12:27] Anuradha Selene: your right brain is engaged, not just your left brain
[12:27] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: it does give a great sense of community
[12:27] Anuradha Selene: more holistic
[12:27] You: yes, i can relate to that jeff!
[12:28] Anuradha Selene: it is like live metaphors
[12:28] You: "live metaphors", i like that
[12:29] Anuradha Selene: tx
[12:30] Anuradha Selene: engages sense of play, crosses the boundaries to the unconscious
[12:30] You: yeah, glad someone spoke up for others of us in the US
[12:33] Anuradha Selene: reuters,
[12:33] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: bbc
[12:34] Anuradha Selene: 1700 blog links still now on google after 2 months!
[12:34] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: the blogosphere went off the chart
[12:34] You: wow, great, good for SL and Bali
[12:34] Anuradha Selene: we have the list on oneclimate.net - all the media
[12:35] Kali Idziak is Offline
[12:35] JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear is Online
[12:36] Anuradha Selene: one-on-one in the presence of many - it's a powerful combination
[12:37] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: nicely put anuradha
[12:37] Anuradha Selene: tx
[12:37] You: yes, i really liked it
[12:38] JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear: it's working for me.
[12:38] You: hee hee, nice flying anuradha
[12:45] Anuradha Selene: 5.6 tonnes of carbon presumaby means around 16 tonnes of greenhouse gases - quite a bit!
[12:45] You: nicely done!
[12:46] JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear: which part did you relate to Jessika?
[12:46] Anuradha Selene: peter - do you want this repeated?
[12:47] You: i liked the video overall as showing the potentials of SL and the need for alternative ways to gather
[12:47] PeterSan Slade is Offline
[12:47] You: is everyone done watching? that;s what i find hard about video
[12:47] You: we are not all on the same page
[12:47] JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear: in Bali we were, which was good. it's different with the live feed because you're all watching the same thing at the same time.
[12:48] You: right. i really like the power point tech so the presenter can start it for everyone, but videos can tell a different story
[12:48] PeterSan Slade is Online
[12:48] You: so nice to have both tools i guess
[12:49] JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear: exactly what I was about to say.
[12:49] JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear: hi Peter.
[12:49] JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear: good to see you again.
[12:49] JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear: Cant trust those PCs, huh?
[12:49] Metaralph Stenvaag is Online
[12:49] Anuradha Selene: i guess we all need to learn how to use these tools well though - peter has had 20 years of being a top BBC documentary maker so he knows what he is doing!
[12:49] You: oh, now, now, watch those PC comments!
[12:49] You: Ah, right
[12:50] JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear: yeah, well, I joined SL in November and ran a live intercontinental feed for two weeks in December.
[12:50] Anuradha Selene: but i couldn't make a video that works so smoothly just ike that
[12:50] You: i am presenting on Sunday to about 40 MBA students on the value of SL
[12:50] JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear: So I guess it's not that difficult to figure out.
[12:50] Metaralph Stenvaag: Hello everyone
[12:50] You: these were some great examples to have
[12:50] You: Hi metaralph
[12:50] Anuradha Selene: hi metaralph
[12:51] You: for me one of the values in SL so far as been the much broader interntational connections i can make
[12:51] Metaralph Stenvaag: Sorry I'm only catching the tail-end of this...
[12:51] You: i feel like San Francsicso gets a little stuck in our own blissful bubble
[12:51] Metaralph Stenvaag: thx
[12:52] Metaralph Stenvaag: well, Vermont has that tendency as well
[12:52] You: :-) and maybe that is also just the nature of being in school
[12:52] JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear: And here's a page with the video you just saw as well as lots of other videos, pictures, and articles we produced from Bali: http://us.oneworld.net/section/us/virtualbali
[12:52] You: great, thanks. i am going to direct people to that
[12:52] You: Peter made a comment earlier on how to connect all the different networks
[12:53] You: facebook, website, etc
[12:53] You: i am wondering about that too
[12:53] JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear: great. and feel free to reference this to your MBA friends this weekend, Jessika.
[12:53] Anuradha Selene: the main thing for me at virtual bali was hearing from the negotiator for the small pacific islands, which were getting flooded
[12:53] PeterSan Slade: yes - any ideas welcome
[12:53] Anuradha Selene: it was so immediate. and she was coming to speak to us int eh middle of th negotations. istory in the making!
[12:53] Anuradha Selene: history, i mean
[12:54] You: Anuradha, what made that feel different through from hearing her on the news say? Was it that more personal connection?
[12:55] Anuradha Selene: reading a paper or watching TV vs actually chatting to the person yourself who was running in and out of the negotiations - so personal, not just a grey suit that you ahve no connection with
[12:55] You: hmm, i have a mic, but when i hold the talk button down no one seems to hear me
[12:55] Metaralph Stenvaag: Excuse me, I don't want to interrupt this discussion (because you have all made your introductions), but I would be interested in IMs from each of you identifying who you are. (I'm the director of the new Marlboro MBA in managing for sustainability)
[12:55] You: yep
[12:56] Metaralph Stenvaag: I'm hearing very intermittent audio - not able to understand
[12:56] Metaralph Stenvaag: like a bad Skype day
[12:56] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: then we were recording all that and it all went on youtube
[12:57] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: www.youtube.com/oneworldtv
[12:57] PeterSan Slade is Offline
[12:57] Anuradha Selene: yes, jeff
[12:57] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: yes
[12:57] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: i can
[12:57] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: your very clear
[12:57] You: I can hear you all too, but can't seem to speak
[13:01] You: hi, i can't get the darn voice working
[13:01] Metaralph Stenvaag: i just hear chirps... ;-(
[13:01] You: now, i hae lost audio too, but I am Jessica, a mba sustainability student in San Francisco US
[13:01] JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear: well I was just asking people to introduce themselves if they want -- in tecxt or voice
[13:01] You: i also am most interested in how to use SL for collaborations and info sharing that would be difficult otherwise
[13:02] You: hee hee, no, i think i am good
[13:02] You: go ahead
[13:02] JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear: i can hear you anuradha
[13:02] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: yes i can
[13:02] Metaralph Stenvaag: I am Ralph Meima, program director of the Marlboro MBA in Managing for Sustainability (Brattleboro, Vermont, USA)
[13:02] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: hi ralph
[13:02] Metaralph Stenvaag: ty Jeffrey
[13:03] You: Anuradha, do you know the Pachama Alliance?
[13:03] Anuradha Selene: no - ls tell me
[13:03] You: they are active in the US, bringing the voices of the "south"
[13:03] You: meaning the indigenous in the Amazon, to us in the North
[13:04] You: more to climate change, and around the idea
[13:04] You: that the 2 lifestyles are clashing
[13:04] You: yes, i will send you some info
[13:05] You: but the oneclimate website group info does not necessarily flow into the SL group, right?
[13:07] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: yes launched very soon
[13:07] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: thank you anuradha
[13:08] You: i am thinking i could try blogging on each of these meetings and posting into the oneclimate group and then try to reference that to get people interested
[13:08] You: Hmm, that makes sense Jeff
[13:09] JeffreyOneWorld Runningbear: that's a great idea (on blogging these meetings into OC.net), Jessika.
[13:09] You: anuradha, that is a good way to prep people for 2L too
[13:09] You: i think, like Jeff's girlfriend experienced
[13:09] You: they are sometimes caught offguard by the very spontenity
[13:10] You: once i realixed that was ok, i relaxed a bit and didn't worry about mistakes
[13:11] You: i hvae been thinking it would be itneresting to develope some sort of competition/game around dealing with your carbon footprint
[13:12] You: and thinking in SL you could really experience having to drag all your trash say
[13:12] You: around with you until you figure out some different ways of handling it
[13:12] Metaralph Stenvaag: we are doing that in our program
[13:12] You: i don't know how hard that is to program for.
[13:12] You: ah waht are you doing ralph with this idea?
[13:12] You: water, yes!
[13:13] You: yes, and seeit contrast to what others use
[13:13] You: LOL
[13:14] You: right, that's one image i was thinking too
[13:14] You: they could have a team and have to get a certain amount of stuff done
[13:14] You: with aonly using so much carbon,
[13:14] In Kenzo is Online
[13:14] You: so they figure out to carpool, or use something different to get it done
[13:15] You: ah, right! yeah
[13:16] You: that's great. I need to leave shortly, but this was really interesting
[13:16] You: to hear the behind the scenes
[13:16] You: ah, your doing great
[13:17] You: oh, be careful what we say....
[13:17] You: yes, i do have time for the next few months to work on something and so if others have the programming expertise, maybe we can start playing with this
[13:17] Telitha Merlin is Online
[13:18] You: exactly!
[13:18] You: i don't think she is hearing those compliments
[13:18] You: i will remember that

[13:19] Wakeyjamie Zuhal: bye bye
[13:19] Wakeyjamie Zuhal is Offline
[13:20] Anuradha Selene: maybe they would look at putting this on onecliate.net?
[13:20] Metaralph Stenvaag: That is certainly a possibility
[13:20] Anuradha Selene: great
[13:21] You: the more intereactivity and cause/effect sort of experiences people can have the better
[13:21] Anuradha Selene: i need to go now but it has been really fun, thank you, jesska for setting this up
