Since it was to have been a short session anyway because of the need to start the official LLG meeting at 1030, it is simpler to just say that we of LogFest do not plan to be on for the 0930 session (others are welcome to try at that time - we are hardly needed to have an IRC chat these days). The meeting could be a long one due to many issues to be discussed, so I cannot make any predictions as to what will happen afterwards. On brief news item is that xod, maintainer of the Lojban Web ring, has made the commitment that next year he intends to speak ONLY Lojban at LogFest, and he is inviting as many other Lojbanists as wish to, to join in that pledge and to come next year. (We will have provision for, and expect, non-Lojban speakers as well, but if one or a group are willing to spend an entire weekend in Lojban immersion, it would be an excellent demonstration even for those still learning.) lojbab -- lojbab 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: http://www.lojban.org
