[12:31]  You: Sounds good
[12:31]  Jixx Nakamori: thats something I’d be willing to work on
[12:31]  Roy Flanagan: But tbh I think IRC might have priority as it servers as a way to communicate
[12:31]  You: Thanks Jixx
[12:31]  Jixx Nakamori: mhm
[12:31]  Roy Flanagan: Especially if you make an IRC client on the blog people can access it from school where they don’t have SL access
[12:31]  Roy Flanagan: You could even go as far as using Libsecondlife to make a text based SL access trhough IRC XD
[12:32]  Roy Flanagan: But the interactive tutorials are very nice idea
[12:32]  You: Yes Roy, we can work on that
[12:32]  You: Question 5: How can we make TSL Welcomers more successful?
[12:33]  Jixx Nakamori: there are alot of communication resources that are free and redily available.
[12:33]  Jixx Nakamori: also alot of great resources here.
[12:33]  Jixx Nakamori: http://flex.org/showcase/
[12:33]  Roy Flanagan: Don’t go flex!! NOOO

[12:33]  Roy Flanagan: Saw that coming
[12:33]  Roy Flanagan: Although flex’s nice for an IRC client
[12:33]  You:

[12:35]  You: Thankyou for all for coming to our monthly meeting
[12:35]  You: see ya next month
[12:35]  Jixx Nakamori: dude Flex is the best devolpment platform for high quality interactive and simple application, that are easy to create and easy to distribute, they can be embedded into a web browser as well as used on any operating system that is supported by the adobeflash player and that includes mobile devices (excluding the iphone for now)
[12:36]  Jixx Nakamori: sorry geek attack.
[12:36]  You: So how will this help new users?
[12:36]  Roy Flanagan: lol
[12:36]  Roy Flanagan: I know
[12:36]  Roy Flanagan: Flex can be used for the client
[12:36]  Roy Flanagan: however in my opinion not for the server
[12:36]  Jixx Nakamori: Flex can be used for 100% of our needs outside of the SL client itself.
[12:36]  Larissa Littlething gave you New Note.
[12:37]  You: Ok
[12:37]  Roy Flanagan: How you going to make the server in Flex
