We started talking about the name. We agreed that we had to many names and that to start a survey to chose the final one with so many names could be very dangerous: what if each student gave his/her vote to a different name? So we decided to take out fo the lists some that would be very general or could be misundestood, or coud be offensives.
See the Ugly-page for updating

We decided to have the open side (let's call it the porch) facing the sea. On the corner opposite to the study corner there will be a relax corner, with games and pillows to lie in the sun (and distract the serious students who will be studing he he)

We as well discussed where to put the library, the tv set and the presentation corner, and wether we would have liked to enlarge the window.


txell Darcy is offering her misty tool table for the study corner, so that when it's empty, we will not use too many prims.

We saw that the flickr that anna prepared did not have the right setting. Now we have a group scrm2008 http://flickr.com/groups/938740@N21/, where you can add the furniture (copy, and better if full perm) that you want to share with the student common room.

We as well talked about the "one word a day" and "one question a day" proposal. We liked a lot the idea. Heimlaga Svenska proposed to make as well idioms of the student's country translated into English. We discussed it because we liked the idea but we thought that it could be confusing, and that we would have learned Finnish idioms thinking that they were English ;o). So we decided to make an International idiomatic week, as soon as the common room will be more or less ready.

And we have already ideas for Xmas... lol. We really think that this place will be a unique opportunity to create activities and little games.

See you tomorrow (for a quick-30 min meeting).
