On behalf of the folks at BayMOO, I'd be delighted to invite the cypherpunks back for a second virtual meeting. Our first session on February 9 gave a taste of what's possible. Another session, with a cleanly organized agenda, could work even better. There are a number of cypherpunks with named accounts at BayMOO already, and new accounts can be handled in a day by writing to blast@crl.com (blast is also on the list). As someone indicated, MOOs work best with clients like Tinyfugue, though it is possible to do all right with raw telnet (especially if you have com software, like Microphone, that gives you a text buffer for composition before you send your words out into the virtual room). There are several options for organization for whoever will be putting the session together. There are: -- large rooms that can be moderated (speaker queues, separate rows for private conversations, etc.); -- smaller rooms for sessions with 2-10 people; -- mindspeak channels for folks who want to attend a meeting and discuss other issues on a channel at the same time -- virtual videotaping or autologging of the proceedings. The key to success, though, as the last meeting clearly indicated, is an agenda with clearly specified topics and time-certain beginnings and endings. Moderators to make sure that speakers cleave to the stated topic seem best for large meetings; smaller groups can, if they like, let the conversations develop with their own internal momentum. Just let me or blast know if the idea of a second virtual meeting at BayMOO appeals to you, and we'll make the arrangements.
