Zindra Expo Group: New Direction for 2012: Get Involved and Grow Zindra, Adult SL

2012 is going to be a year of change. This is a special post for all the members of the Zindra Expo group (you know who you are). To date, ZE has made significant changes for the adult mainland and for Adult SL in general. It's been almost a 2 year journey. (read about some of these developments here) The current LL administration is in the process of transferring ownership of its own group to us, the residents of SL.
What does this mean?
The short answer is that it means whatever we want it to mean. In an effort to hear some of the 'group will', I am posting this so you can comment. Tell us what you'd like to see happen with ZE. The choices are wide open, the path can be anything. It really is up to group will. As ZE's 'continuing officer', I will listen carefully to all comments. You can send me comment via Notecards inworld, though posting comments here is best so it's most public. (note: anything resembling trolling or flaming will be removed).
Zindra Expo group can do many things and continue to shape the future of Zindra and Adult SL. Share your thoughts!

A MORE INCLUSIVE ZINDRA HELP VORTEX: IDEA 1: WEEKLY CLASSES/WORKSHOPS
proposal by Ginette Pinazzo, Voodoo Radek, Hypatia Meili - 12-07-12

PREMISE
A more formal expansion on our pre-existing Speaker Series, we would choose a good regular day and time (FRI nights at 10PM? etc) and each week would feature a new class/workshop or presentation by anyone who wishes to participate.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE
Any business, group or individual with a good topic idea that will draw attendees can get on the schedule.

TOPICS
Emphasis will be placed on business topics and building topics, though other educational topics may make sense too. Diversity of topics, draw of topics and useful impact of topics will all be considered.

TIMING
To get good PR benefit for the speaker/teachers, events should be scheduled minimum 2 weeks in advance. The more build-up time, the more PR benefit. PR is really the primary benefit for the speakers/teachers, so we would want to maximize that window.
Multiple timeslots will be encouraged (a morning and night version, for example) to increase accessibility.

WHY THIS IS GOOD
1. Educational activities are a big draw
2. These events will provide businesses, groups and individuals with an exciting opportunity to get involved in Vortex, make an impact on the community, and network.
3. Business-friendly attractions for content creators help create an increased business-friendly climate and encourage residents to take a more active part in SL, starting or improving their businesses, investing more heavily in SL
4. Fits Vortex mission of a more complete Help experience.
5. Fits LL mission of retention
