Hi, guys. I'm new to the forum, and want to know if anybody else is out there yet. I'm not able to get to all the meetings, since I live so far away, but my computer is right here...

I'd love to correspond with fellow listers, to see what's on your mind.

The forum is open for planning the next Troost Festival. We've chosen Saturday, May 12 for the 2007 edition of the Festival.

I have just downloaded the bbpress script from WordPress, made the alternations to the config file, consulted the bbpress support forum when this forum didn't work as expected the first time ;-), and am now willing to expose myself to your testing of the script.

There are several agendas to The Creative Process Forum - the first is to provide virtual space for dialogue dedicated to exploring humanity's evolutionary freedom and responsibility for creating existence, in other words, "the creative process". I'd set up Creative Process Blog yesterday. People have the opportunity comment on the blog posts, but it just doesn't seem right for a dialogue. Blogs feel like they should be reflective, the forum format feels like it will be more suitable for exchange.

Since there are instructions for integrating the WordPress blog and forum, I will be working on getting that done. Just remember I am more of a 'stewing hen' than a 'spring chicken', sometimes what seems obvious will cause me to have to take a nap to figure it out.

Our lives, (speaking for just Fred & myself right now) are intertwined in organizational efforts The Creative Process, Center for Global Community, and The Collegium Spiritus. Then there is World Peace Celebrations from 1986 to 2000, The Heart Forest, and the Troost Festival. We just can't separate all these out into neat and tidy piles.

I do have another agenda - I have to increase web exposure for creativeprocess.net and the Global PathMarker posters we publish. I developed the Creative Process Educational Posters & Resource Guides pages as a supplement to our posters - if a teacher didn't want our Global PathMarkers posters for their classroom, then maybe I could help them find one that suited their purposes. I personally think I have done a good job, and for a few years Google must have thought I did a good job too. However, at some point people saw how high creativeprocess.net was in the search results for "educational posters" so they 'jacked my code (I mean I could find a search result that looked like it should have been us, click on the link and you would end up at some other place, caught in a refresh loop); also at about the same time Google went public. Between those two circumstances creativeprocess.net disappeared from Google's radar for the search term "educational posters".

So I am hosting the blog and forum on our web site in an attempt to generate a cash flow that will let us keep on providing the Odd Thursday breakfasts, gestalt groups, and spiritual support. Really and truly the business end of The Creative Process is not the only, or the first and foremost, reason for getting the blog and forum up and running, though the ability of creativeprocess.net to generate an income, will keep the heat (or ac, depending on the season) going.
