15:18:49 [MissParker]  thanks for the file kris!

15:18:50 [krisrussel] I'm creating a "Save The Pretender" group on Facebook... Is this ok for you?

15:18:55 [krisrussel] yw :^)

15:20:48 [MissParker] Sure kris! Anywhere we can post the message is great! Despite the scary rumours!

15:20:56 [MissParker] Great Ruben!

15:21:02 [MissParker] I'll let mattali know.

15:22:05 [krisrussel] alright... I'll finish the process and post the link on the various mailinglists and forum

15:22:14 [MissParker] Great kris!

15:23:17 [krisrussel] http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=17879938808

15:23:30 [krisrussel] dunno i you can see it if you're not a member...

15:24:11 [krisrussel] but if people join, they can upload pics and movies and stuff like that

15:30:19 [MissParker] cool!

15:32:42 [MissParker] ohh...ok i'm joining

15:34:29 [MissParker] I'm Catherine Parker!

15:35:25 [krisrussel] lol

15:39:09 [MissParker] Ok....let me try and locate the agenda...

15:39:54 [krisrussel] ok

15:40:17 [MissParker] I remodified my article for the bookcrossing 11th anniversary challenge

15:40:38 [krisrussel] cool

15:40:40 [MissParker] http://forums.prospero.com/foxpretender/messages/?msg=706.1 this is the post about the challenge

15:42:18 [krisrussel] yup, I followed it on the forum

15:45:41 [MissParker] ok....Do you have anything to add in terms of words that can be allowed for book titles for the challenge?

15:46:29 [MissParker] 'The Pretender', 'Pretender', 'Pretend', or 'Jarod', or any other major characters in the title, books with 'Sim' or 'DSA' in the title, and books with 'genius' in the title

15:46:52 [MissParker] and our "Red Notebooks" will all be part of the challenge

15:47:05 [krisrussel] maybe chameleon?

15:47:27 [MissParker] I mentioned a points system as well. oh that's a great suggestion!

15:47:44 [MissParker] chameleon and the other language versions...

15:47:52 [krisrussel] points system is a good idea

15:47:57 [MissParker] French: Cameleon?

15:48:02 [krisrussel] yup

15:48:09 [krisrussel] think so...

15:48:54 [MissParker] I'll have to check the French site to be sure

15:49:49 [MissParker] How should we do the points ranking for the types of books? A 5 pt separation between each rank? Or 1 pt?

15:50:19 [krisrussel] I'd go for 1

15:53:42 [MissParker] ok

15:54:23 [MissParker] So ...trying to think of how to assign the points....

15:55:30 [MissParker] can't think right now...let's move to the agenda

15:55:37 [MissParker] Sims update

15:56:02 [MissParker] no news

15:56:11 [MissParker] Lost RN notebook project update

15:56:43 [MissParker] Well, the update on that is, we have no new volunteers...although some people at the Sim are thinking...well, at least one is...

15:57:04 [MissParker] And I still have to get around to creating a proper set of instructions

15:58:02 [krisrussel] ok

15:58:08 [MissParker] I know that bookcrossing didn't want us to post the challenge for only Red Notebooks, but that doesn't mean we can't still register our red notebooks for the project at the bookcrossing site as planned

15:59:23 [krisrussel] true :^)

15:59:35 [MissParker] We should set a date for launch of this project....we can launch before the 11th anniversary challenge

16:05:52 [MissParker] Now...back to the agenda!

16:06:04 [krisrussel] right... agenda :^)

16:07:51 [MissParker] Are you on Facebook Q?

16:08:03 [MissParker] Or do you hate that site too?

16:08:22 [Quibus] I hate all social networking sites

16:08:44 [MissParker] lol oh yeah, you did say that...

16:12:25 [MissParker] Alright...we need to finish up with Lost Red Notebooks discussion...I have posted a to-do list...to the campaign group and at Fox : http://forums.prospero.com/foxpretender/messages?msg=708.1

16:13:27 [MissParker] Any suggestions to add to that to-do list?

16:16:46 [MissParker] Ruben...any suggestions for the to-do list?

16:18:15 [Ruben20] To be honest....*shamefull*.... after the announcement of the closure of the Fox forum, i left it completley and have not visited it since, so i'm not familiar with this project at all

16:18:20 [MissParker] kris, check out this list: http://forums.prospero.com/foxpretender/messages?msg=708.1

16:18:34 [MissParker] and tell me if you have any suggestions

16:18:40 [MissParker] lol

16:18:43 [MissParker] shame!!

16:18:44 [krisrussel] saw the list

16:19:16 [Ruben20] ... spank me

16:20:47 [MissParker]  lol

16:21:09 [MissParker] Q...any suggestions...?

16:21:17 [krisrussel] no suggestions for now...

16:21:40 [Quibus] nope

16:22:17 [MissParker] Questions about the project?

16:22:26 [MissParker] Do you all understand what is involved?

16:23:08 [Ruben20] I see i'm listed as a volunteer, so i must know something. Was it the one where we were suppose to create our own red notebook and collect sigs?

16:23:42 [krisrussel] yup, I think so

16:24:53 [MissParker] No sigs

16:25:01 [MissParker] Yes you did sign up!

16:26:00 [MissParker] In a nutshell, what you need to do is create RNs, register them at bookcrossing and then release them somewhere.

16:26:23 [MissParker] In the process, you will also do a journal entry for the RN and also make release notes.

16:26:43 [MissParker] The book must be tagged/labelled with a BCID that you will get when you register it.

16:27:11 [MissParker] The suggestion was made to have the word "Free book" on the cover of your RN...to encourage people to pick it up

16:28:11 [Ruben20] What will be in the books?

16:29:55 [MissParker] I have started the instructions...you can take a look here: http://www.4shared.com/file/21762079/bb79ad4c/instructions.html

16:32:06 [krisrussel] I'll print it at work tomorrow and have a decent look at it

16:32:09 [MissParker] But basically, you put info about the show, and why you like it, what the campaign is about, urls, and you must include that we are not a lost cause, so their joining will have a positive effect

16:32:30 [MissParker] BBJ: "the notebook can be printouts of pictures and whatever of The Pretender explaining our mission to save it"

16:32:56 [MissParker] "Firstly, to sell it to people who may not know or care about the show, explain that it is wholesome and gripping,"

16:32:56 [Ruben20] Interesting, Interesting

16:33:09 [MissParker] "Secondly, that we are NOT a lost cause, there is a network interested in picking it back up again, they just need proof of a big enough fan base to do it."

16:33:36 [MissParker] last two lines, also from BBJ

16:33:46 [MissParker] http://forums.prospero.com/foxpretender/messages?msg=645.50 here's her entire post

16:34:06 [MissParker] We could put in the big sell like 'Right now thousands of rednote books just like this one are being released all over the world to send the message that we want more of The Pretender

16:34:09 [MissParker] ...

16:34:29 [krisrussel] :^)

16:34:37 [MissParker] Anyway, so, now that you all have an idea of what's involved, we can move on...

16:34:55 [MissParker] to Bulletin reminders!

16:36:08 [krisrussel] DOH! I knew I'd forgotten something

16:39:57 [MissParker] lol

16:40:27 [MissParker] Oh dear! I did too...  So I won't say anything more!

16:41:01 [MissParker] I found some people on Facebook from Trinidad who have The Pretender in their profile...I'm gonna message them and see if I can get them to sign the GGL!

16:41:21 [MissParker] We should adjourn now....maybe i can really go print my bulletins this time...

16:41:50 [MissParker] I'm trying to send a message but ....the verification thing is giving trouble...what's up with that?

16:42:23 [krisrussel] cool, don't forget to join the group ;^)

16:44:06 [MissParker] yeah...was actually looking for it when I got side tracked!

16:44:14 [krisrussel] :^)

16:44:32 [MissParker] Ok...let me go print some bulletins...ttyl

16:44:44 [krisrussel] ok cu

16:46:05 [krisrussel] good point m :^)

16:46:16 [Quibus] oh I have nothing against youtube, it's an awesome site. I've just never needed to upload a video or anything so I've never registered.

16:46:35 [krisrussel] you have no favs on that site?

16:46:45 [MissParker] It's your only way to be able to post bulletins...please consider registering!!

16:47:01 [MissParker] Then you can add friends and post bulletins...and help us save the pretender!

16:47:01 [Quibus] I'll try to remember.
