As MinCulture (assuming appointment), one of my portfolio items is thus: "We will work with SIGN to create new Talossan language learning materials and to create both translated and original literature."

In the context of what SIGN needs as well as my conversation with Tafial in last week's Europe/Africa videoconference, I now know the above is moot.  SIGN is already taking the lead on all of this.

That being said, I can think of one thing I could do: make non-SIGN / "in cooperation with SIGN" videos, and that I will do.  I can also bring together a basic wordlist, and one of my goals for this week is to find one and run with it.

Anyway, what is SIGN's overall roadmap for, say, the next two years?

Many thanks for all you do!

Still thinking about this. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves.

We need a durable and specific definition of 'treason'.

without the class system, there are no maximum lengths for civil disability or maximum amounts for fines now.

ESB got 18 years civil disability, which was later overturned, which IMHO was ridiculous. 5 years maximum civil disability? 500 louis maximum fine (which would be half our total treasury)?

Perjury definition corrected.

Such a fine could be 'paid' by way of a contribution to any non-religious charitable organization with proof of contribution being sufficient as the 'fine' having been 'paid'. 

No more 'Kafetegia Talossa' name for Europe/Africa...unless having that different name for Europe/Africa works well.

28 June 2021:
1400 Central / 1900 UTC Café Talossa (Europe-Africa)
1900 Central / Café Talossa (Americas)

Zoom links for each to be posted no earlier than one hour to the Chat Room (this forum).

This past Tuesday was wonderful, and I look forward to more fun on Monday the 28th!

if interested, i have in my personal archive some stuff from republic times.

i have all three of my small side projects & contributions archived (el verbånd talossán dal ficziun siensiâ & whisky; cxhn. inâ és cxhn. minâ - comicseu de talossa d'iens vidançeu suôrschár; el gac'hláivasqåb ¡büvetz-noi és cîntetz-noi!) + plus some stuff from my ministerial times (i was like two times cultmin in republic) - some immigration posters, one historical proclamation and suchs. i was also the peculiarist (NPW) who advocated non-derivativist looks at republic of talossa (movamáintsch për l'estat da talossa).

Put everything you have to libraryoftalossa.com  If you need access, send me a PM, and I'll drop you an invite.

Thank you so much!

Once I realized I had lost track of time and was an hour late, I joined the meeting, though Ián Tamoran had to start his own Zoom meeting, but the first installment of Kafetegia Talossa (Europe/Africa) was a rousing success in every respect.

Ián Tamoran, Danihel Txechescu, and Tafial started things off at 2pm Central.  I showed up promptly at 3pm Central (smh), and Txescuoah (sp?????) came on at about 4pm Central.  Ián had to leave at about 4:30pm Central, and we ended our festivities at about 5:15pm Central. 

This whole thing could not have gone any better, and I can't wait for Café Talossa tonight!  Thanks be to God for self-starters Ián T., Danihel T., and Tafial!

Keep in mind this thread, being on Wittenberg instead of the Chat Room, is visible to non-citizens. You might want to redact the link just to be safe.

Done.  Thanks!

I vote for ESB for Mencei

Vote noted and will become official on Wednesday when nominations run out.

Hee, hee...  I'm from Texas, too!

19:00 UTC = 14:00 CDT = 21:00 CEST = 07:00 NZST
(Here's a link to the timezone converter I used)

This would work for me (and maybe Kiwis if they wake up early enough). Though I must say, I'm a bit disappointed that we have to split up these calls by timezones for practical reasons...

Anyone is welcome on any Zoom/video meetup.  But yes, we must be practical, alas.

[Invite link on Chat Room forum]

At last, a video meetup for Talossans across the Pond.  For Asia-Pacific, if I can get some interest there, I'll set up a third separate Zoom meetup.

I will eventually want permanent undersecretaries (MinCulture) for Kafetegia Talossa (café in Basque) and Kawhe Talossa (café in Maori) who can handle all things about those events including platform, time, frequency, and whatever else.

For now, my next Tuesday will be spent doing Talossa with friends over videoconferencing with my horrible camera and mic.

For Kafetegia Talossa, I will post a Zoom link to Witt and the Chat Room at Noon Central for the 1pm Central meetup. 

The hope is for a 1900 Greenwich meetup.  If someone could let me know if my timezone calculations are working... 

Can't wait, all!

As I am not yet MinCulture (if I am to be), I am doing this through Oraclâ magazine.

Yes, indeed, peeps, a one-hour (or longer!) time to shoot the breeze and be Talossans together, voice-to-voice, and actually see each other speak.  I am glad to get this going.

Tuesdays at 1900 is not good for Euro-Kiwi Talossans. It may be we will need a separate Café Talossa for 'odd' timezones.

Café Talossa: an apolitical meet-and-greet - can't wait to get this going.  Zoom link will go up no later than 1700 CDT on the day of the event.  Thanks, all!

I realized today just how little I put onto the Talossan Public Archives aka the Library of Talossa - This includes the gigantic 2nd edition Treisour from 1997-1998
