Official 2012 LogFest/jbonunsla Announcement

[Robin Lee Powell]

(Yes, it's quite late; it's my fault; I hope to do better next year
(and that sentence was an exact copy from last year, but I *did* to
better by 2-3 weeks this time!))

jbonunsla, the sometimes-annual social gathering for members of the
Lojban community, will be held this year in the San Francisco Bay
Area, in which many Lojbanists reside.

It will be held primarily on Saturday, 7 July 2011 and Sunday, 8
July 2011, although the room becomes available on Friday night and
they kick us out Monday morning.

The gathering will take place in a shared hotel room in San Mateo:

Attendees can travel easily from the following airports, in order of
convenience: San Francisco International Airport, San Jose Airport,
and Oakland International Airport. Locals with cars are available
for pickup if necessary.

The space has room for at least 4 to sleep, and seating for about 10
people.

Our plans for activities are extremely flexible, as in we don't
really have any; this has caused issues with focus in previous
years, so suggestions regarding activities and topics are welcome,
even if you won't be attenting.

Generally, attendees can expect games, chatting in and about Lojban,
and regular breaks for food. Most attendees will arrive on Friday
and depart on Monday, so the most significant activities will likely
take place on Saturday and Sunday.

Followups to the main list, please.

The mail came from the "Lojban Announcements" Google Group. You are probably not subscribed to that group directly. All mails to this group are forwarded to all major Lojban groups. See http://www.lojban.org/tiki/Lojbanic+Forums for details about what this list is for, including how to contact the management.

I suppose you meant 2012.

*facepalm*.

Yes.

It sounds awesome, but the distance and my (lack of) money forbids me
to go this year.

I don't know what the usual topics are, but this year's jbonunsla
could be a good place to begin some debates about the potential
upcoming trawl of la gimste. Is there universal agreement that a look-
through is in order? How is it best accomplished - by having people
report weird definitions to the BPFK when they encounter them, or is
any systematic search through la gimste preferable?

Just a fun idea off the top of my head: Making sandwitches in pairs
where one part is blindfolded and must put the sandwitches together
with help from instructions given in Lojban by the other part.
Perhaps some sort of geocashing (orienteering?) where the instructions
on how to complete the run is given in Lojban.
Or speed-authoring, where a group of people each have a set amount of
time to write the beginning of a short story. Then after 5-10 minutes,
the paper it's written on is given to the person to the left, which
continues the story. The game ends when everyone has written part of
every story.

Have a good jbonunsla, doi ro salci
