[Sw-l] SignWriting Open office

Mon Feb 23 00:59:20 UTC 2015

This is an excellent idea!
I would participate on week-ends.
We would know about projects way before their completion or even their start!

Hello Ingvild!Great to hear from you and I wish we could travel back in time and see each other again… I guess it has been since the 1980’s when we first met? I cannot remember the year…I hope you are doing well…
I have been thinking about the idea of offering an “open office on Skype” one day a week, or maybe for a certain number of hours on a weekend, and then everyone would know that I am available for chatting every week at the same time …
It might get a little confusing if we all try to talk at the same time (smile) but Skype is freely offering up to 10 people at the same time in the same conversation anyway, so it wouldn’t be that bad…if several people try to call at the same time then we can either have a group chat or we can arrange at that time, another time to chat for some, but it would have a feeling of openness and accessibility that would be pleasant, and nice for me too, because frankly I get a little lonely here, caring for my family and not having that much contact with the world...
And an “open Skype time” might be easier than scheduling time, since we all are busy and just arranging the schedule can be a hard task sometimes…
So if we started next Sunday, and I turned on Skype at 8:00 am - 10:00 am Pacific Time, anyone can call me on Skype. My Skype name is valeriesutton (all one word). And if it is hard to know what time that is in your time zone, go to Google and ask…”What time is it in California?” and it will tell you the time in California…then you can relate that to your own time zone to see what time it is where you are…
What do you think of this idea? Of course if no one wants to chat that is ok too!
Val ;-)

And thank you too, Tini, for this message, and for learning DanceWriting and SignWriting and for teaching both and well…it has really been a long time since we knew each other … since the mid-1970s when we met in Copenhagen…
Isn’t it a miracle that we are still here and writing emails to each other? - ha!
And I bet, with the longevity in my family, that I just might be doing the same 30 years from now - I hope so ;-)
Thank you again for the note -
Val ;-)
