Not much new, except that we have added 4 voting members. I also called the meeting to order in Lojban, in hopes of starting a trend %^) Dave Twery was appointed to head a committee to look into setting up an official home page distinct from Veijo's which is seen by many as a de facto official site. He will be seeking inputs and volunteers from the community, as well as specific inputs from Veijo and others who have been putting up web pages unofficially on our behalf. I will let Dave post further. Nick Nicholas will be working on some formalisms and vocabulary to be used if we decide to conduct more of our official meetings in Lojban. While it was not part of the annual meeting I want to note that we managed 3 IRC sessions of multihour length, entirely in Lojban, and involving people who a year ago were not Lojban speakers. .o'acai I have logs of at least two of the sessions and will post them, but not today. I will be contacting those of you who I know to be linguistics people working in semantics (tell me if you are not sure I know) about an idea we have that might gain stature for Lojban in linguistics research. I'll wait till someone competent but not present at our heady middle of the night discussions before I publically put my foot in my mouth on this list. But it's a doozy %^) lojbab ---- lojbab ***NOTE NEW ADDRESS*** lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: see Lojban WWW Server: href=" http://xiron.pc.helsinki.fi/lojban/ " Order _The Complete Lojban Language_ - see our Web pages or ask me.
