posted message: Hello everybody. If you are a subscriber and have been waiting to participate for a while, that wait is now over. Recent changes to the university mean that you can now add yourself as a participant and join us! Press the "participate" button on the left-hand sidebar (under "People"). We are looking forwards to meeting up with you - and reading your blogs.

posted message: Good job on the blog aggregator, @Pippa. Subscribed. You'll have to show me how to do that Pipe-y thing.

posted message: I've added a couple of extra people to participate in the study group. I know we are feeling it out still, but are we limiting participant numbers? Is there a rationale as to why some people have /not/ yet been added? I know that some followers will feel frustrated by the waiting, and I would rather add more people than not. I am aware that there could be issues with scale - but we can talk about that.

posted message: Ah! That would be why, lol.

posted message: Hi everybody, have I missed the Friday meeting - or are we not having one this week?

posted message: Excellent meeting today.

posted message: @Pippa I'm proposing a date next weekend - this weekend may not be enough notice for the group. Speaking to each other on a weekly basis can help this to "feel" real - I have a sense that we are all waiting for something to happen. Let's use Voxli for voice (https://voxli.com/) and TitanPad for live typing (http://titanpad.com/). I can show you how to use these tools if you are unfamiliar - message me. Suggested agenda: 1. Introducing Myself 2. About My Blog 3. Why write? This is a brilliant syllabus foundation > http://www.alistapart.com/articles/writeliving/ I can organise the times but perhaps you should - let me know before the weekend. If it's time sensitive, grab me on Twitter.

posted message: Are we going to meet online? The best study group experiences I had were with Karen [Entrepreneurial Marketing] and Matt [PHP for beginners]. Once a week met in a chat room. It really helps to foster a strong sense of group identity. Plus, we could all do little experiments in live writing and /talk/ about our ideas. What do you think? I know that would be helpful - and encouraging - to me.
