Welcome. I have a friend which has a group for worldbuilders, and we often discuss about intellectual property issues, It's great to see someone who is expert on this.
Thanks Dave. The meeting will be at the SLBA's offices in Malefelonius in SL. I'll be there ahead of time (10am SLT on Saturday) so can tp you if you IM me (Solomon Cortes). Could you be there for the start of the meeting?
I believe I am still a member David, but am not sure. In any event, I would love to increase my involvement in any way you would like -- board, speaking, etc. I am flattered by the offer. Dave
David, Sorry for the mix up. I will correct. I will add you to the GA group. Also, you might consider adding the events to the Events tool on the site (at top.) Thanks.
That should be fine. Have you registered on http://virtualworldssalonmarch.eventbrite.com/
If not, just go there and sign up. If you have any problems registering, just let me know. See you next week.
