Hello Girls- If you have gotten this far you are in the correct place-
hooray!
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 4 - 13:04:34 ]
This will be our permanent meeting place for monthly on-line meetings. I

Screen" at the
bottom here to post your message. In order to continue seeing the dialogue
you
will need to click on refresh screen continually - about every few minutes
to see
new dialogue. You will not see new dialogue unless you click on this
button. I will
keep my email window open as well tonigh. So if are having some problems
at this
point send me mail to: tkrieg@quest.arc.nasa.gov and I can help you solve
it.
[ Tish - 13 - 20:39:28 ]
Okay great! I think we have myself, Sarah, Laurie, and Christine and Lisa
from
Castilleja. I know that Alice from Autodesk cannot join us and Nicole and
Bonnie
have finals. I have yet to hear from Jackie (Girltech) LeHang and Kimberly
(Autodesk). Adrienne Renner and Andrea McCurday were planning on joining
but
don't see her yet.
[ Tish - 14 - 20:41:03 ]
As this is not a completely full group I will let you know of a few things
I wanted
some input on and help with and we weill try to get through this in the
next 20
minutes so we can be off by 9:00 p.m. 1) Meeting times 2) Womem's history
month
3) Women in Aviation convention 4) Project pages
[ Tish - 25 - 20:50:35 ]
Let's move onto #4 in my list. I'm sure you have all seen the pages up and
linked
from the WON home page. Any issues, concerns, edits or changes you want at
this
point?
[ Tish - 29 - 20:54:27 ]
I think if they are minor changes to yoru individual pages or journal it's
best if you
email me so I can take care of them immediately as I read it. If there are
main
page issues or issues that might concern the whole group it might be good
to bring
them up now.
[ Laurie - 31 - 20:56:28 ]
They are all minor changes having to do with my individual parts except
one thing.
I beleive we discussed in our last meeting to cut the religious parts of
the quote
out.
[ sarah - 32 - 20:57:22 ]
do many people have a problem with the religious part?
[ Tish - 33 - 20:57:39 ]
While I'm waiting to hear back about any other page issues I'll move onto
#2 -
Women's History Month. As this is a month devoted to women in history I
have
planned on having all of our interactive events - webchats, forums, and
webcast
involve women who have a more historical perspective of NASA. I am looking
for
your help and suggestions as to women you think would be interesting to
feature.
You can simply look and read through the list of Profiles and let me know
who you
think are good candidates. Again, you can name any now if you thin of
them, post
it here later, or email me later. I will begin to recruit these women in
the next few
weeks.
[ Christine - 36 - 20:58:44 ]
It seems ok, but without the religious references, the quote seems more
universal.
[ Laurie - 38 - 20:59:08 ]
The quote would read as follows: "Our deepest fear is not that we are
inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are all powerful beyond measure. It is our
light, not
our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be
brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? É There is nothing enlightening about
shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around youÉAnd as we let our own
light
shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are
liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
[ Tish - 40 - 21:00:29 ]
I just pulled up the quote with "the religious part" Do you think there
are specific
pieces of the quote or the entire quote that need to be discussed or
edited out?
For those of you who don't have it in front of you, here it is: Our
deepest fear is
not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are all powerful
beyond
measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask
ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually,
who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't
serve the
world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people
won't
feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God
that is
within us. It is not just some of us, it's everyone. And as we let our own
light
shine, we unconsciously give otherspermission to do the same. As we are
liberated
from our own fear, ourpresence automatically liberates others." - Marianne
Williamson
[ Lisa - 41 - 21:01:37 ]
I agree with Christine.
[ sarah - 42 - 21:02:00 ]
I think that the main core of her qoute is religious, we might, instead of
tearing
the qoute apart, have to find a new one.
[ Tish - 43 - 21:02:41 ]
Got it Laurie. I like that obmission but might still add: "...Actually,
who are you not
to be? Your playing small doesn't serve the world.. What about that?
[ Laurie - 44 - 21:04:00 ]
I like that much better. I only had that much of it saved on my computer,
as soon
as read the full length quote i thought the same thing.
[ Tish - 45 - 21:04:32 ]
What if we delete the religious part for now and wait to hear from the
rest of the
group as to comments or if someone else comes up with another one?
[ Lisa - 46 - 21:04:35 ]
I think that by eliminating the two references to God, we avoid making it
seem as
if the Advisory Council is a group with a religious focus...Although as
individuals we
may be, the group is not oriented in any way.
[ Christine - 47 - 21:04:36 ]
Although there her quote can definitely be interpreted in a religious way,
I also
think that it has a nonreligious message as well that is very appropriate
for the
website. Without the religious references (as in Laurie's message)I think
the
quotation still makes sense and sounds good.
[ Tish - 49 - 21:08:21 ]
As to Women's History Month, I would like to do a web cast which involves
filming
in our studioi. I have gotten a committment from Pat Cowings. She is at
Ames and
is very cool. She was the first female scientist trained as an astronaut
way back
when... she now work with astronauts on helpng them overcome motion
sickness
in space. Her profile is at:http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/women/bios/pc.html
andthere
is also a link to a video clip of her work: Autogenic feedback training.
Those of you
who were at the launch heard her speak. I would like to feature her ina
webcast
and have a few of you girls "host" it.
[ Tish - 54 - 21:12:41 ]
Back to Women's History Month and the webcast. What are your thoughts on a
webcast on a Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. This means if it was to include you as
an active
host and getting to NASA to participate or as an participant online from
your
school. Does a 1:00 p.m. time seem like a time when most students (from
all time
zones) would be able to join. I have really been working on trying to do
events
when we can pull in the most participants and it seems earlier in the a.m.
is too
hard to get out of core classes or have classes join us. Thoughts?
[ Lisa - 55 - 21:15:18 ]
1:OO sounds like a pretty good time, except it might be bordering on the
end of the
school day for people on the East Coast..but I know I could definately
make it.
[ Tish - 57 - 21:15:49 ]
Briefly, as webcast involves a one hour show. The participants log onto
the site
and can view a live video of the hosts and expert (Pat Cowings) The show
has
intros from hosts and mentors and then a brief overview of her work - in
this case
some of the history of her work with NASA and changes over the years, etc.
and
then we open up the chat room to take questions. Anyone participating can
post
questions into the chat room. One of the hosts reads the questions to the
expert
who then answers them live via the video. The hosts also act like any
"talk show
host" and fill in with commetns, etc.
[ Tish - 60 - 21:17:22 ]
Lisa - as to your comment about East Coast times we get a lot of
participants who
joinus after school in clubs, labs, or at home so 4:00 their time might be
okay.
[ Tish - 62 - 21:18:10 ]
Women's History month in March so we have plenty of time to get throug
finals. If
I forget - good luck with them.
[ Tish - 63 - 21:18:50 ]
Are there other times of the day that you think would be better for
students?
[ Laurie - 64 - 21:18:54 ]
I just saw a NASA web cast for the first time on Saterday.
[ Tish - 67 - 21:22:24 ]
I know it's getting late and I want to end in the next 10 minutes (we've
been on an
hour) so I will wiat for the Women in Aviation Convention until next chat.
Just to
let you know though... The Women in Aviation International convention is
from
3/9-11 in Memphis. NASA headquarters has produced a commenorative poster
(300,000 ) printed and features the 4 young girls and astronauts that were
at
Johnson Space Center for the other photo shoot as the center shot. More
details
on the convention to follow, but your mugs are getting around...
[ Christine - 68 - 21:23:08 ]
I agree. A bit earlier than 1 PM might be better.
[ Tish - 73 - 21:28:05 ]
All our events are aimed at middle school through high but we get K-12 and
event
adults. I really do want you thoughts on appropriate times as we have been
struggling with this for some time.
[ Tish - 76 - 21:31:03 ]
It is getting to be the bewitching hour here... So let's rap up. Can you
either send
me via email or post here: #1 Most appropriate times for events based on
what
you know from your own schedule or friends or siblings. #2 Women you would
like
to see featured in the March Women's History Month events. #3 Any edits
for the
YWAC pages.
[ Laurie - 77 - 21:31:34 ]
Most of the people I know want time separate from school and education
when
they get home. They would be more interested if it was during school or
work
time. Plus it could reach more people. If you get the teachers informed
and
interested, some might try to work it into their schedual.
[ Tish - 83 - 21:36:13 ]
Last question - What time do you think would be most opportunet o get your
schools to join in? and/or that you could get to NASA to participate?
[ sarah - 84 - 21:37:16 ]
probably around 11
[ Christine - 88 - 21:38:26 ]
On a Tuesday, the best time for me would be around 10:00 AM. As for my
school...I'm sure there are classes at any time throughout the school day
that
would love to join in.
[ Lisa - 89 - 21:38:39 ]
Castilleja would probably be able to arrange something almost any time
during the
school day...They are very interested in this kind of thing...especially
for middle
school classes which have a more flexible schedule
[ Tish - 92 - 21:41:45 ]
Okay ladies that's a big help. I will work on the schedulig of the cast.
For now give
some thought as to women to feature and send me an email with those.
Let;'s sign
off for now and get some rest. Thanks so much for joining in. Nightie
night- Tish

skiing until
Thursday. I hope that I will be able to make the meeting.
[ unknown - 114 - 11:50:49 ]
Adrienne, Nicole, and Bonnie-Monday or Tuesday at 4:00 would be the best
time for
me. I can have Bonnie and Nicole stay here at school to do this.
[ christine - 115 - 11:54:47 ]
I prefer any of the times on Monday and if necessary, I can also meet on
Saturday.
I can definitely not meet today or on Tuesday. I won't be checking this
e-mail
address again till I come back from February break, so please e-mail me at
sychiu@worldnet.net or call me at (650) 494-8715. If you can't get through
to me,
I guess I won't be able to go to the online meeting, but I hope to "see"
you there.
Thanks, Christine
[ Tish - 116 - 15:04:45 ]
We will be meeting Monday 2/21 at 4:00 p.m. to discuss the Women in
Aviation
Convention. I have sent you a detailed email note explaining what we need

considered
when we meet online.
[ kim - 117 - 15:46:29 ]
hi
[ Lisa - 118 - 15:57:00 ]
Hi!
[ LeHang - 119 - 15:57:33 ]
hello
[ Laurie - 120 - 15:58:19 ]
Hi
[ Bonnie - 121 - 15:59:44 ]
I'm here...hello!!!
[ Nicole - 123 - 15:59:54 ]
Hi, guys!
[ Tish - 127 - 16:01:44 ]
Wow! You girls beet me here today. I'm here now and it looks like we have
Kim,
Lisa, Lehang, Laurie, Nicole. I think Christine, bonnie and Jakcie might
be joining us
so we;ll wait a minute. If you didn't ge the Women in Aviation agenda let
me know.
Otherwise look it over so we can begin in just a minute.
[ Christine - 129 - 16:02:23 ]
Hi! I'm here.
[ Bonnie - 130 - 16:04:12 ]
hey guys - just showing my mom how this chat room works. when you see
this,
can you just respond back with something? she's never been in a chat room
before...how exciting!
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 131 - 16:05:04 ]
Okay you girls are great! Thanks for joining in on a "holiday." Let's get
going. I've
turned to moderation mode so I can delete extraneous messages or mistakes
to
keep the room cleaner. Sarah won't be joining us, so I think we're almost
all
accounted for.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 132 - 16:06:52 ]
First thing to discuss... NASA has invited 2 of out council member to
represent the
group at the upcoming Women in Aviation International convention. If you
did not
get or read the background email I sent please let me know. I don't htink
I need to
go in to a lot of detail about the event as it is covered in the agenda
and briefing.
Does anyone need more desctiption of the event before we begin discussin?
[ Alice - 133 - 16:10:13 ]
Hi all...sorry I'm a little late. Just joined in. I didn't get a chance to
read the other
e-mail Tish sent with background into, but I'll catch up as we go.
[ Adrienne - 134 - 16:10:25 ]
Hi, I'm online a little late, problems with the modem
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 136 - 16:11:17 ]
What I would like to do is for you to decide amongst the group which girls
should
go. Please consider the following criteria.... 1)Availability to miss
schoo. Most
likely Thursday, 3/9, Fri. 3/10 and return on late Saturday the 11 or
Sunday. 2)
Willingness and comfortable with representing the group at the convention,
networking, tallking about yourself, role with WOJN, etc. (I can work
these issues
with you as some of you may not be as familiar ) Possibly interviewing key
women, taking photos, videos... 3) Committment to write up an adventure
journal
so I can get it posted within 2 weeks. We plan to feature women from the
convention in a series of webevents the last week of March so want to
journal up.
4) Any other issues you girls have to throw in when considering who would
like to
go?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 139 - 16:13:22 ]
Okay great Alice and Adrienne. Thanks for joining please "speak up" in our
discussion. I've just gone over some of the criteria we discussed and I
wrote up in
a little more detail in the email. Anything you wnat to add to the
criteria for
selecting our girls for the convention?
[ Bonnie - 140 - 16:13:46 ]
i am very interested in this trip - the networking sounds most exciting to
me as I
am very interested in communications, but should we also consider our
rep's
interest in aviation?
[ Laurie - 141 - 16:14:45 ]
I wouls like to take part in the event, but considering the fact that I
participated
in both of the other events, I don't think I should go.
[ Laurie - 142 - 16:15:07 ]
would not wouls
[ Adrienne - 143 - 16:15:34 ]
The administration at Presentation has approved these trips for Bonnie
and/or
Nicole. It will be ok for them to miss school but they will have to of
course make
up the school work.
[ kim - 144 - 16:15:37 ]
Maybe Le Hang since she has not went
[ Alice - 146 - 16:16:16 ]
I agree with Bonnie that this convention sounds like a good opportunity
for
someone(s) who really are interested in a possible career in aviation. Of
course it
would be great for some of the girls who haven't been on a trip yet to go
also. Are
either of the Castilleja girls interested?
[ Lisa - 147 - 16:17:01 ]
I love to go, I just wonder if the fact that I haven't been part of the
group very
long would interfere?
[ Nicole - 148 - 16:17:01 ]
I don't think I should go either since I went on the other trips.
[ LeHang - 149 - 16:17:11 ]
I don't think I can go b/c my teachers are getting really strict about my
absences.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 151 - 16:17:55 ]
It looks like Bonnieand Laurie are interested. Kim, Lisa, Christine,
Lehang, Nicole
Are you interested in the trip?
[ kim - 152 - 16:18:40 ]
Lisa, you going can only draw you to the group more. I think that you
going would
be a good oppertunity just because you are new
[ Christine - 153 - 16:18:56 ]
I agree with Lisa...I haven't really been part of the group and I don't
think I could
represent us as well as someone else. Plus, I'm not really interested in a
career in
aviation and would not want to take away the opportunity from someone who
is.
[ Laurie - 155 - 16:19:26 ]
What if then we had one Castilleja girl go since they haven't had the
opportunity
to go on a trip yet, and another girl who has been a part of the council
longer who
can show her the ropes?
[ kim - 156 - 16:19:49 ]
I can't because of personal things and also my teachers are no joke with
it being
my last year. Those are too many days. I am sorry
[ Lisa - 157 - 16:19:56 ]
Kim--If that's the case, then I have no problem going.
[ kim - 158 - 16:20:36 ]
Lourie I agree
[ LeHang - 159 - 16:20:41 ]
I agree with Laurie
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 160 - 16:21:00 ]
RE: [kim] Lisa, you going can only draw you to the group more. I think
that you going would be a good oppertunity just because you are new
Yes I agree with you Kim. I don't want that to hamper one of you going. We
can all
bring you up to speed on what the group does.
[ Bonnie - 161 - 16:21:00 ]
i really would love to go, but if someone else is MORE interested in
aviation, i don't
want to take that from them.
[ Lisa - 162 - 16:21:03 ]
Also, if there are people who are primarily interested in aviation, then
they should
definately go ahead of me.
[ Nicole - 163 - 16:21:16 ]
I'm interested in going, Tish
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 164 - 16:21:41 ]
RE: [Laurie] What if then we had one Castilleja girl go since they haven't
had the opportunity to go on a trip yet, and another girl who has been a
part of the council longer who can show her the ropes?
Yes, I like that idea too.
[ Nicole - 165 - 16:21:52 ]
That's a good idea, Laurie
[ Laurie - 167 - 16:23:30 ]
I don't think I should go because i have been on both of the other trips.
So who of
the girls that have been on the council longer can go?
[ Bonnie - 168 - 16:23:38 ]
so who's interested in aviation - i think that's our question right now.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 169 - 16:24:19 ]
Okay - I think we've heard from everyone, but please keep me on my toes if
I
missed someone. Here is what I see. Bonnie, Nicole, Lisa, and Laurie and
interested. Lehang and Kim are not available becasue of school.
[ sarah - 170 - 16:24:53 ]
i haven't had a chance to look over the e-mail, so I am going to that now
[ Nicole - 171 - 16:25:02 ]
Maybe Bonnie and Lisa b/c Lisa's new and Bonnie didn't go on the Houston
trip
[ Alice - 172 - 16:25:34 ]
Tish, are we only discussing the March WIAI convention today? I'm curious
to
discuss some of the other issues as well (like the next launch; TODTWD &
follow-up
to the photo-shoot; moving forward on the girls' ideas for the website
from the
work day, etc.).
[ Laurie - 173 - 16:25:45 ]
That's what i was thinking Nichole.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 174 - 16:26:14 ]
RE: [Laurie] I don't think I should go because i have been on both of the
other trips. So who of the girls that have been on the council longer can
go?
Okay Laurie, if we count you out (very gracefully ) that leaves us with
Nicole and
Bonnie who are "more senior" members of the group. Is that right - or did
I miss
someone?
[ Lisa - 175 - 16:27:02 ]
What about you, Christine?
[ Alice - 176 - 16:27:44 ]
[ Nicole - 171 - 16:25:02 ] Maybe Bonnie and Lisa b/c Lisa's new and
Bonnie didn't
go on the Houston trip I agree with Nicole's reasoning (above) -- Bonnie &
Lisa
sounds like a good combo. for March. Unless Sarah is interested since
she's been on
one trip rather than two so far as well.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 177 - 16:27:47 ]
RE: [Alice] Tish, are we only discussing the March WIAI convention today?
I'm curious to discuss some of the other issues as well (like the next
launch; TODTWD & follow-up to the photo-shoot; moving forward on the
girls' ideas for the website from the work day, etc.).
Alice - my thougths were to devote one hour today. Once we get the
convention
decision made we can move on with the other items you mentioned. Does that
sound okay
[ Laurie - 178 - 16:27:58 ]
Is Sarah interested in the trip?
[ Christine - 179 - 16:28:32 ]
I wouldn't mind going, but you seem more interested than I am. If one of
us from
Castilleja goes, why don't you go and I'll just participate in another
trip later.
[ sarah - 180 - 16:29:01 ]
It sounds intresting, but since I went on the last trip, I can go either
way
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 181 - 16:29:25 ]
RE: [sarah] i haven't had a chance to look over the e-mail, so I am going
to that now
Glad you could join in Sarah. We're just trying to narrow down who will go
to the
Women in Aviation convention. Read through the thoughts above and let us
know
how you think. Christine, are you interested in going?
[ Alice - 182 - 16:29:53 ]
Tish--sounds fine. I looked at the most recent issue of Glamour but didn't
see the
TODTWD ad/photo. I was wondering if Nicole received an advance copy of a
future
issue.
[ sarah - 183 - 16:30:08 ]
Is Jackie still part of the group?
[ kim - 184 - 16:31:13 ]
I have heard from friends and the photo is in three other magazines
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 185 - 16:31:18 ]
Bonnie and Lisa - do you have any problems with the criteria and
committments?
It sounds like we're leaning towards you too. Comments, other thoughts?
[ Nicole - 186 - 16:31:27 ]
Oh, actually it was CosmoGirl! the Feb issue. I don't know if they're
still selling it
[ sarah - 187 - 16:31:29 ]
yeah, so have I
[ Christine - 188 - 16:31:34 ]
Tish- I wouldn't mind going. If one of us from Castilleja were to go and
Lisa wants
to, that's fine with me.
[ Laurie - 189 - 16:31:39 ]
The AD is in GlamourGirl, the teen version of Glamour.
[ Alice - 190 - 16:31:52 ]
Sarah, good question (re: Jackie). Le Hang & I will see her on Thursday
'cause she's
coming to our event for middle school girls at Autodesk.
[ Lisa - 191 - 16:32:03 ]
Christine--Because you are a junior, it seems that you might have fewer
chances
than I will...So I have no problem either way.
[ Laurie - 192 - 16:32:25 ]
Right Nicole, sorry, not GlamourGirl, CosmoGirl
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 193 - 16:32:37 ]
RE: [sarah] Is Jackie still part of the group?
Jackie still is and I have tried unsuccessfully to reach her or Janese. I
have left
numerous voice messages and emails. Janese does know about the meeting
today
but I never heard back from her on her thoughts or if she was joining us.
[ Bonnie - 194 - 16:32:42 ]
i think it sounds totally awesome - a great opportunity to get out there,
talk to
more people, exposure, etc... i am able to miss school, and i enjoy the
writing and
"pr" portion a lot.
[ Lisa - 196 - 16:33:39 ]
I just don't want to be jumping ahead of Christine or anyone else.
[ Christine - 197 - 16:33:42 ]
Lisa- yeah, but because I'm a Junior, I also have TONS of work, so missing
school at
that time might not be the best idea.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 198 - 16:34:18 ]
RE: [kim] I have heard from friends and the photo is in three other
magazines
What other magazines is it in. I got a copy form Nicole of the Cosmo Girl
but I can't
find the magazine anywhere. I heard from Ms. that it would mainly be in
March
and April magazines so I think the bulk of the adds are still coming.
[ kim - 200 - 16:36:09 ]
It's in the NBA All Star game magazine and the high school literary reader
[ Alice - 201 - 16:36:39 ]
I'd really appreciate it if whoever has copies of the ads that have
appeared would
send me copies. That kind of PR really helps me in getting support (i.e.
budget, etc.)
here at Autodesk. Since you gals are more up on the teenage magazines than
I am
can you keep an eye out and mail me clippings?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 202 - 16:36:47 ]
Thank you Christine for your thoughts on this about missing school. I
think I'm
hearing that Bonnie as our "senior council" member and Lisa as our
"rookie" will
be a great combo to represent us. Please keep in mind we have more
opportunities
coming up. Shall we finalize Bonnie and Lisa.
[ Christine - 203 - 16:37:34 ]
Bonnie and Lisa sound like good choices to me
[ sarah - 204 - 16:38:40 ]
Those two sound like a really good team to me. I don't know lisa, but what
I know
about bonnie is that she has no trouble communticating with others!
[ Laurie - 205 - 16:39:31 ]
I also think that Bonnie and Lisa are good representatives.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 206 - 16:40:02 ]
Okay, since we're all here shall we move on to a few other topics with the
remaining 20 minutes. I can discuss in more detail the convention and trip
wtih
Bonnie and Lisa afterward. Can you two stay online for about 10 minutes
after our
hour?
[ Nicole - 207 - 16:40:20 ]
Me too!
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 210 - 16:42:02 ]
Okay - we've got one decision made. Bonnie and Lisa are on their way to
Memphis!
All you girls were great at figuring this out. THanks.
[ Adrienne - 211 - 16:42:08 ]
good choices
[ Alice - 212 - 16:44:33 ]
Tish, what's next on the agenda in importanc/priority?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 213 - 16:45:42 ]
Okay, great. We have also been invited to the next launch in April
STS-101. Once
again, HQ is putting together a launch conference. This has only just come
up in the
last few days so I'm not clear on the entire agenda. NASA is partnering
with the
Dept. of Labor in an effort to encourage more young women to pursue math,
science, tech. careers, etc. and wants to use the launch as a vehicle to
publicize
this partnership and get more girls interested. At this point, our role
can really be
written in any way we want. The agenda for the launch conference is not
finalized.
The only catch here is that I have not received funding from NASA for this
and it is
only 2 month away! Yikes! The date is very unfirmly set for April 13 but I
don't
know if that will hold. I would love for us ALL to go but $$ is an issue I
will have to
work on.
[ Adrienne - 214 - 16:45:54 ]
Can we discuss the launch in April?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 215 - 16:46:50 ]
RE: [Alice] Tish, what's next on the agenda in importanc/priority?
I would say the next issues of importance in my mind are 1) the Eileen
Collins
video 2) Women's hisotry month events 3) VTODTWD 4) launch
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 222 - 16:51:10 ]
Let me tell you briefly about the Eileen Colins video. About 4 years ago I
worked
with Johnson Space Center on a video of Shannon Lucid after her return
from MIR.
The centent was based on questions from our WON participants. Now JSC
wants to
produce a video on Eileen and once again use our women for the basis of
what she
will adress. If you have noticed on the WON home page, I have a brief
explanation
of this and a link to a room where anyone can post questions. At this
point, it is
moderated so occassinally I would go in and select "good" ones and delete
innappropriate or repepetive ones. I thought this might be a good job for
one of
the council members. It would just be one more plus as being involved in
the video
and make your presence know. Woudl anyone like this job? It would probably
take
me about 5 minutes to explain how to do it and then every few days you
would
have to log on and post message - maybe 5-10 minutes. There might be some
time
for communitcatino with JSC. Iwould also like to see you girls post some
questions
as well.
[ Alice - 224 - 16:51:44 ]
Yes, Tish I agree that this launch sounds like a perfect event for many of
us to
attend. Too bad the timing is so close to TODTWD -- I know you (and we)
have lots
of event planning we'll be doing in preparation for that since we both
sponsor big
events. Re: funding, have you spoken to Cate Muther again at all recently?
Vanessa & I saw her at the Top 25 Women on the Web awards, and she
certainly
seems interested in DYF, our interns, and seems to be looking for funding
and/or
partnership opportunities. Just a thought. I'm sure there are others who
might be
interested in sponsoring such a trip as well. Who are your contacts at
DOL? I used
to have some contacts there as well, maybe there's a pocket of money
somewhere
there too.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 225 - 16:52:49 ]
RE: [Adrienne] The expenses of the trip to the launch are airfaire, hotel,
food and a rental van. The Holiday Inn has rooms that sleep five people.
It might be a good idea to put a few of these rooms on hold for us while
we work on funding.
Sounds like a good idea. If you have the info. and you don't have to pyut
any $$ up
right now, do you want to reserve some rooms?
[ Alice - 228 - 16:54:56 ]
Is the April 13 launch the one that Yvonne Cagle will be on? We still
would really
like to profile her for our "A Day in the Life" section of our DYF
website.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 229 - 16:55:54 ]
RE: [Alice] Yes, Tish I agree that this launch sounds like a perfect event

Good idea Alice, I will contact her. I haven't spoken with since the Fall.
I have a list
from Terri Hudkins at HQ on the DOL partnership. At this point I'm not
sure who the
contacts are. Well at least now we have our pages up, a few events
recorded and
more ont eh way so I can easily contact potential funders. I "promise" to
look into
this in the next few weeks. If any ofyou have other ideas, let me know.
(bake
cookies:)
[ Laurie - 230 - 16:55:57 ]
Tish, i would also be willing ot help for the questions.
[ Alice - 231 - 16:56:04 ]
Hey Tish--seems like we're starting to get all over the map in our
discussion &
with the delay time in posting, maybe you should reign us in to focus on
one
subject at a time?
[ Nicole - 232 - 16:56:38 ]
I'd like to participate, but I'm still a little confused about what we're
supposed to
do.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 234 - 16:58:15 ]
RE: [Bonnie] for the WON home page: we would go in and "clean up" the
questions, then what?
Basically that is it. For the previous video, I was emailing questions
back and
forth, but htis time I already set it up webbased so JSC can go in and
pull
questions from there. I would think there might be some communication via
phone
or eamil with JSC to make sure we have enough questions, the type of
questions
they are looking for, and then maybe a posting or an email message sent
out to
ask for more questions.
[ Christine - 235 - 16:58:23 ]
I'll help out with the posts if you tell me how to.
[ Alice - 236 - 16:59:17 ]
Kim--I haven't. Have you stayed in touch with her or her mom at all since
your trip
to Houston? I was really hoping we could piggy-back on you meeting her,
but
without you in the office it's been hard to circle back to that. We
haven't done a
new "Day in the Life" since Monica Goebels, have been concentrating on
other
things.
[ Bonnie - 237 - 16:59:35 ]
basically, we'd be helping with the actual "questions" portion of the
video with
direct contact with JSC. is that right?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 240 - 17:02:00 ]
RE: [Alice] Hey Tish--seems like we're starting to get all over the map in
our discussion & with the delay time in posting, maybe you should reign
us in to focus on one subject at a time?
Thanks Alice. Let's just note our calendars at this time about the launch.
I will
follow up with details about the conference and schedule another online
meeting
to discuss jsut the launch. I'm not sure if Yvonne is on this mission or
not. I do
konw that either Yvonne, Eileen, or Ellen Ochoa will be participating in
our VTODTWD
event but haven't heard who is yet. Okay, so Adrienne will get soem
reservations
at the Holdaiy Inn secured, we will table the launch discussion and finish
up with
getting someone to help out with the Collins video. The item I would like
help on is
the Women's hisotyr month contest. Again, it's not much work on your part,
but
another way to be involved.
[ Alice - 241 - 17:02:41 ]
Kim--Definitely call me! You can call me at home or the office (I've been
working
late a lot lately so try me either number). Do you still have my home #?
[ Bonnie - 242 - 17:03:17 ]
i'd like to find out more about the Women's HIstory month contest
[ Christine - 243 - 17:03:29 ]
What is the Women's History month contest?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 244 - 17:03:44 ]
RE: [Bonnie] basically, we'd be helping with the actual "questions"
portion of the video with direct contact with JSC. is that right?
yes, that's it Bonnie. If I remever are you interestd in communication? or
was in
another council member. THsi would be a good job for someone who is
interested
in video production... A very small job but it is some involvement.
[ Bonnie - 248 - 17:05:06 ]
i think i'm interested, but i'm worried about my schedule...things get
hectic, you
know. i'm sure there are enough of us to share the "responsibility,"
though
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 249 - 17:05:06 ]
RE: [Alice] Tish--I need to sign off soon. Any other urgent issues?
Before Alice has to go and I explain the contest can we set another
meeting to
discuss the launch. How about Monday 3/20 at 8:00 p.m. ?
[ Nicole - 252 - 17:06:09 ]
I'm interested in the video and I'm sure others are. Maybe we can more
than one
person work on it.
[ Christine - 253 - 17:06:12 ]
That meeting time is fine with me
[ Bonnie - 254 - 17:06:16 ]
sounds good
[ Alice - 255 - 17:06:21 ]
Personally, I prefer earlier in the evening as I can't always log in from
home. But if
the girls' schedules don't work earlier I understand.
[ sarah - 256 - 17:06:39 ]
that sounds good
[ kim - 257 - 17:06:43 ]
ok
[ Bonnie - 258 - 17:06:54 ]
i agree with adrienne - maybe if we just have a short meeting online
sooner?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 259 - 17:06:55 ]
I'll wait a minute to get a date set for our next meeting and then spend 5
minutes
on the Women's history month contest. Please let us know if Monday 3/20
works
at 8:00 or suggest another time or day? I'm open in the evenings.
[ Lisa - 260 - 17:06:56 ]
Earlier is fine, too.
[ Alice - 261 - 17:07:16 ]
I agree with Adrienne, we should be meeting (even if briefly) more often
if we're
really going to pull more major trips and events off.
[ LeHang - 262 - 17:07:32 ]
I also prefer earlier in the evening
[ Nicole - 263 - 17:07:51 ]
ok
[ Christine - 264 - 17:08:07 ]
Any time in the evenings (earlier or later) is fine with me.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 265 - 17:08:20 ]
How about Monday the 6th at 8:00 p.m. - 2 weeks from now?
[ sarah - 266 - 17:08:38 ]
im ok either way
[ Nicole - 267 - 17:08:41 ]
that sounds good
[ Adrienne - 268 - 17:08:42 ]
ok
[ Lisa - 269 - 17:08:54 ]
That's fine, too.
[ Bonnie - 270 - 17:08:55 ]
even better
[ Christine - 271 - 17:08:59 ]
fine with me
[ Alice - 272 - 17:09:10 ]
No chance for 7:00 p.m. on March 6th?
[ Nicole - 274 - 17:09:51 ]
7:00 works for me too
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 275 - 17:10:10 ]
RE: [Alice] No chance for 7:00 p.m. on March 6th?
Okay does 7:00 work instead of 8:00 for everyone for the two dates?
[ Lisa - 276 - 17:10:21 ]
7 is a bit better for me, but I can do 8
[ LeHang - 277 - 17:10:34 ]
that works for me
[ Christine - 278 - 17:10:35 ]
7:00 is fine
[ Nicole - 279 - 17:10:37 ]
ok
[ Adrienne - 280 - 17:10:43 ]
7 is ok with me -- both dates are ok
[ Bonnie - 281 - 17:10:43 ]
i'm pretty much flexible with anything, as long as i know ahead of time.
these
sound good
[ sarah - 282 - 17:10:53 ]
Tish- are we going to discuss anything else right at the moment? I have to
sign off
in a few
[ unknown - 283 - 17:11:04 ]
That works for me as far as I know.
[ Alice - 284 - 17:11:20 ]
One more thing re: April launch scheduling. Tish--you might want to have
everyone
e-mail you their Spring Break schedule. I know Le Hang's spring break in
the week
of 4/17. It sure would be great if the launch coincided so not so many
girls would
have to miss school.
[ Nicole - 286 - 17:12:22 ]
I think my spring break is the week of Easter
[ Adrienne - 287 - 17:13:09 ]
Bonnie, Nicole, and Adrienne's vacation begins April 20th. The launch is
the week
before our vacation. We had administrative approval for this trip.
[ Christine - 288 - 17:13:19 ]
My Spring Break is also the week of 4/17, but I'm going on a college trip
then.
[ Laurie - 289 - 17:13:30 ]
My sping break is also the week of 4/17, but i am gone for a choir trip to
England
the entire time.
[ Alice - 290 - 17:13:41 ]
Are we set for next meetings 3/6 & 3/20 at 7:00 p.m.? Nicole-do you know
if it's
the week before or the week after Easter?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 291 - 17:13:48 ]
Okay - dates are set. I will follow up with email. Only other thing I
wanted to
discuss is Women's History month. Breifly, we will have a contest going
which is a
"hunt" around the WOn pages focusing on one women each week. The women
will
also be featured in a webchat or forum that week. Participants answer the
questions adn then submit them. There will be about 10 correct answers.
Each
participant that get all 10 correct will get their name entered into a
drawing. At
the end of the month we will draw one name from the bin andthe winner
recieves
s shirt autographed by Eileen Collins and has her picture on it that I
took in the
shuttle.
[ Adrienne - 292 - 17:14:03 ]
Is the launch April 13?
[ Adrienne - 294 - 17:14:33 ]
Easter is April 23
[ Lisa - 297 - 17:15:41 ]
Going the week before break is probably better for me than going the week
of
break
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 299 - 17:16:11 ]
What I would like is if one of you would ike to facilitate receiving the
answers and
keeping track of the names to enter in the bin. I would image this might
take an
hour once a week. I will make it very clear in the contest description on
how to
mial the ansers. It would be a matter of reading the emails and keeping
track of
particiants who will be intered into the drawing. And then we'l doo some
big
hoopla when you draw the name. Any takers?
[ Nicole - 302 - 17:17:09 ]
I could do that job and also have we decided who will do the video?
[ Alice - 303 - 17:17:15 ]
Ok, I'm going to sign off now. Kim--call me tomorrow! And remember
everyone,
PLEASE mail me copies of the TODTWD photo/ad/any articles you see in
magazines
from the Houston photo shoot. I really appreciate it! Our mailing address
is: Design
Your Future; Autodesk, Inc,; 111 McInnis Parkway; San Rafael, CA 94903
[ LeHang - 304 - 17:17:20 ]
I'd like to help with that
[ Laurie - 305 - 17:17:22 ]
Tish, I can help you with that.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 306 - 17:17:52 ]
Christine and Bonnie. Are you the two who are interesetd in working on the
video?
Or is anyone else? Let's get closure on these two things: video and
Women's
hisotyr month and save the launch disucssion for next meeting.
[ LeHang - 307 - 17:18:07 ]
Alice, Ngoc just said she has a copy from Business Week. She'll bring it
tomorrow.
[ Bonnie - 308 - 17:18:14 ]
i'm interested in the video
[ Christine - 309 - 17:18:33 ]
Actually, I'd rather help out with the contest because I actually
understand what
that would involve.
[ Nicole - 310 - 17:18:34 ]
I'd like to work on the video also
[ Adrienne - 311 - 17:18:42 ]
Which issue of Business Week?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 312 - 17:19:11 ]
Sarah, Nicole, LeHang, laurie can help with the contest and Christine and
Bonnie
can help with the video. Is that correct?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 313 - 17:19:52 ]
Correction. Bonnie and Nicole would work on the video.
[ Bonnie - 314 - 17:20:05 ]
tish: switch nicole and christine (i think?)
[ Laurie - 315 - 17:20:07 ]
Yep, as far as I go.
[ sarah - 316 - 17:20:18 ]
sounds good to me
[ Nicole - 317 - 17:20:19 ]
that sounds fine
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 318 - 17:20:33 ]
Lehang, Laurie and Sarah would like to work on the contest?
[ sarah - 319 - 17:21:01 ]
yep
[ Christine - 320 - 17:21:02 ]
I'll help out with the contest, too.
[ LeHang - 321 - 17:21:05 ]
yes, that's correct
[ Laurie - 322 - 17:21:08 ]
Yeah, I can help with that.
[ Christine - 323 - 17:21:14 ]
That is, if you need more help.
[ Laurie - 325 - 17:22:15 ]
Bye Alice
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 328 - 17:23:00 ]
Okay, let me wrap up here. Bonnie and Lisa will be going to the WIAI
conference.
We will discuss a few particulars in just a minuts. Lehang, Laurie and
Sarah want
to work onthe Women's history month context. Bonnie and Nicole want to
work on
the video. I will give you all details about the video and contest via
email Does
that sound okay?
[ Nicole - 331 - 17:23:47 ]
sounds good
[ Bonnie - 332 - 17:23:53 ]
yep
[ Christine - 336 - 17:24:43 ]
I'd love to work on the contest if you need my help.
[ Christine - 338 - 17:26:36 ]
Whatever, either way is fine. I just feel like I'm not really contributing
much and
this seems like a good way to help out.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 341 - 17:27:23 ]
RE: [Christine] I'd love to work on the contest if you need my help.
okay Christine, I've got you down to help with the contest.
[ Lisa - 342 - 17:27:53 ]
I'd have to ask my parents about wed. vs. thurs.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 346 - 17:28:29 ]
For those of you who are signing off. Thanks so much. I feel we had a good
hour.
Thanks so much for your input and time. Check you email as I follow up on
issues
discussed today. Thank again,
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 388 - 14:45:09 ]
Hi All- I hope you all remember that we are meeting at 7:00 tonight 3/6. I

out an email reminder. Items to discuss on my agenda: 1. WIAI convention/
Bonnie
and Lisa attending. What to wear? YWAC logo 3. Women's History Month
contest 3.
April launch 4. VTODTWD 5. Photo shoot magazines If you ahve anything else
to add
please do so. See you online tonight
[ Laurie - 389 - 18:30:59 ]
Hi everyone,I am here a little early. I had a conflict come up recently
and I will
have to leave at 7:20. I am planning on coming back later and reading the
chat.
Feel free to email me anything important.
[ unknown - 390 - 18:50:18 ]
Hi Laurie- I'm just checking in a bit early as well. I'll have a hard time
tonight as
I've still got two kids in the tub!!! Are you all set for the contest?
Have you check
out the site or how to log onto the answers at hotmail?
[ Adrienne - 391 - 18:53:10 ]
Hi - I'm here!
[ Nicole - 392 - 18:56:38 ]
Hey everybody! Just out of curiousity, who's "unknown"?
[ Tish - 393 - 18:56:44 ]
Laurie - I forgot my name - did you guess that was from me?
[ Laurie - 394 - 18:57:40 ]
I haven't been able to reach the site yet. It says something like I do not
have the
access to get there.
[ Lisa - 395 - 18:57:48 ]
Hello!
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 396 - 18:58:42 ]
RE: [Nicole] Hey everybody! Just out of curiousity, who's "unknown"?
That was me
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 397 - 18:59:31 ]
RE: [Adrienne] Hi - I'm here!
Adrienne - Did you get the info. from Bonnie that you needed?
[ Christine - 399 - 19:00:12 ]
Ooop! It's me, Christine.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 400 - 19:00:15 ]
RE: [Laurie] I haven't been able to reach the site yet. It says something
like I do not have the access to get there.
Laurie - I just got in today so maybe you have an old page in your cache.
Did you
try just now?
[ Lisa - 401 - 19:01:12 ]
Tish- Sorry I had to leave our meeting on Friday so hurriedly. Also, the
PR person
from Casti did get in contact with me.
[ Adrienne - 402 - 19:01:53 ]
Tish, Bonnie and I spent time going over all the papers today. I gave her
the
permission slips to excuse her absence from school. It looks like a great
trip.
Thanks for arranging all of this!
[ Laurie - 403 - 19:02:20 ]
All right, I can get into the hotmail account, but I can not access the
web link you
sent to me in the email regaurding the countest.
[ Alice - 404 - 19:03:51 ]
Hello, I'm here. Sorry to say I won't be able to stay long. Somehow I
didn't manage
to get the date down in my book last time we met.
[ Laurie - 405 - 19:04:34 ]
I tried to get to the page again at about 6:30 tonight and i recieved the
same
message as I originally did.
[ Bonnie - 406 - 19:04:58 ]
hello, all...i'm here!
[ Alice - 407 - 19:07:40 ]
Tish, could you lay out tonight's agenda with time estimates? If the bulk
of the
meeting is to discuss WIAI trip & other items I/we (Autodesk) won't be
involved in,
I'm going to have to sign off, but I want to make sure you get me for any
crucial
input.
[ Adrienne - 408 - 19:10:10 ]
Alice, I saw you on TV the other night. You did a great job!
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 409 - 19:10:44 ]
Okay let me check the page out right now. I've got kids in the tub and one
just
threw up in the tub (yuk!!!) I'm having one of those days. Let me check
the site
right now and take care of a few things. Can you begin discussing these
two items:
1) What will the girls wear at the WIAI convention? LeHang says the
graphics we
have will not print well so the idea we had for having the collage image
on shirts
won't work this time until we redo in high res. What are you ideas on
shirt, logos,
etc. for the convention? 2) The Arpil 13 launch is still tentative but HQ
is moving to
the next one for the launhc conference. There is another one in August.
BUT.... we
have Streambroadcast that wants to cover you girls going to the launch
etc. Let
me give you more details after you discuss the shirts.
[ Lisa - 410 - 19:12:05 ]
Tish- Has the permission slip that my mom faxed reached you safely? Is
anything
missing?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 411 - 19:12:08 ]
This page islinked from the WON page and is working:
http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/women/WHMcontest.intro.html This page is then
the
first week contest and links as well from the contest page:
http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/women/WHMcontest1.html I can get to both fine.
[ Adrienne - 412 - 19:12:29 ]
We have that simple logo design that Janese brought to Presentation.
Perhaps we
could have that made right away. There is a parent at Presentation I could
call
tonight if you want the shirts for Thursday.
[ Bonnie - 413 - 19:12:46 ]
i think the collared shirts work well because they're very versatile. as
for what
goes on it, can one of us design a temporary logo or something?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 414 - 19:13:41 ]
RE: [Alice] Tish, could you lay out tonight's agenda with time estimates?
If the bulk of the meeting is to discuss WIAI trip & other items I/we
(Autodesk) won't be involved in, I'm going to have to sign off, but I
want to make sure you get me for any crucial input.
Alice - The only issue abaout WIAI is what the girls will wear since we
couldn't get
a new shirt made. Next issue is the launch in April. I'm having a tough
time tonight
too so let me give you all the detials about hte launch while you dicuss
the outfits.
[ Nicole - 415 - 19:14:21 ]
If you would like, I could give my shirt to Bonnie to give to Lisa for
this WIAI
conference. Then we could work on shirts for all of us instead of just
throwing
something together now.
[ Alice - 416 - 19:14:37 ]
Re: shirts for WIAI...is there a reason the shirts used for the Eileen
Collins launch
trip won't work? It's just two girls going, right?
[ Christine - 417 - 19:14:52 ]
Sorry...I think I'm just confused. What shirts are we talking about?
[ Bonnie - 418 - 19:15:35 ]
i actually think the outfits for this conference aren't as crucial as they
will be for
the launch because there's only two of us. a simple logo will work, just
ironed on
the back, with a small logo on the front with our names, even a text-
design or
something. what do you all think?
[ Adrienne - 419 - 19:16:02 ]
When we went to Florida last year, each girl had a white button down shirt
with
the NASA logo and the Young Women of NASA logo. This shirt made the girls
looked
unified and got lots of attention
[ Laurie - 420 - 19:16:09 ]
Thanks Tish, that page works for me.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 421 - 19:16:39 ]
RE: [Lisa] Tish- Has the permission slip that my mom faxed reached you
safely? Is anything missing?
I got your permission slip LIsa but not BOnnie's
[ Nicole - 422 - 19:16:48 ]
My shirt is the one Mrs. Renner is talking about.
[ Bonnie - 423 - 19:17:05 ]
Tish and I talked on friday, and the reason we were thinking of "throwing
a couple
together" is because the others are already autographed and we'd probably
want
new shirts without all that. Then again, it doesn't really matter too much
if it's too
much trouble.
[ Adrienne - 424 - 19:18:09 ]
It looks like Bonnie and Lisa have two choices. They could wear the same
shirts
worn in Florida or we could try to have something made this week using the
design
Janese showed us a few months ago. If you decide on the latter, I can call
someone right now and see if it is possible.
[ Lisa - 425 - 19:19:15 ]
The reason we were hesitant to use the same shirt is that I don't have
one.
Because the shirts are going to be/have been signed, using someone else's
didn't
seem like the best idea
[ Bonnie - 426 - 19:19:20 ]
did we want the same design janese had made? was there some talk about all
of
the websites on that one? maybe not, i don't know if that's a problem or
not...i
just thought i remembered something about that being an issue, but i'm not
sure.
[ Laurie - 427 - 19:20:12 ]
I am really sorry everyone but I have to leave. A last minute mandatory
practice
came up for my choir and I will be very behind if I miss it. I will read
what you
discuss in the caht room when i return at 10. Bye.
[ Nicole - 428 - 19:20:27 ]
If you're worry about my shirt being signed, I don't have a problem
w/that.
[ Adrienne - 429 - 19:20:48 ]
The logo design that Janese showed us was a simple white embroidered logo
on
denim. Did anyone like that or do you want a different design?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 430 - 19:22:04 ]
Streamedia would like to get sponsorship to prodice a webcast in
connection with
the launch. They would follow a group of 5-10 girls as they travel from
Cal to KSC
to explore women who work in aviation. Each girl would have the resppn. of
choosing a women and will seve as as on-air correspondant reporint on the
women.... Person profile, behind the scences, etc. will culminate with the
shuttle
launch. Individual clips ranging from 3-5 minute, combined with written
article,
chat disussions and flash animation will tkae the use on an interactrive
journey
celebrating the work and contributrion of womn..... This would be a
program
presented on Streambroadcast.com They also suggested that it could be
edited as
a linear documentarey for television.
[ Bonnie - 431 - 19:22:24 ]
oh, i think i had a different logo in mind. that actually sounds like a
neat design
(the simple white embroidery in denim). do you think we could get that
done by
thurs? i already have a denim button-up collared short sleeve shirt that
is usable.
it would be appropriate for the conference, i think.
[ Christine - 432 - 19:22:54 ]
Tish- about the contest: how are we supposed to know the correct answers
so we
can write down the people who got them all right?
[ Nicole - 433 - 19:24:50 ]
If we decide on a new shirt for Thurs., can we get all the girls sizes and
order one
for everyone that way we don't have to worry about someone not having the
same shirt for the launch.
[ Alice - 434 - 19:24:59 ]
It seems a little silly to throw something new together spur of the minute
just for
this trip, then later have to create new shirts again for other members.
The
membership of this group is likely to grow & change and so there will
always be
this issue of new members needing the "outfit." Therefore, once a logo or
patch is
designed that everyone likes, it needs to be able to be added to a new
shirt easily
as necessary. Just my two cents.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 435 - 19:25:12 ]
RE: [Bonnie] did we want the same design janese had made? was there
some talk about all of the websites on that one? maybe not, i don't
know if that's a problem or not...i just thought i remembered something
about that being an issue, but i'm not sure.
There is a problem with the word NASA on the logo and has to be approved
by HQ.
THat was the issue with the logo Janese designed.
[ Bonnie - 436 - 19:25:26 ]
lisa: how do you feel about this denim and white idea? it's fine with me,
as long as
it's not too much trouble by thursday. should we just plan on doing that
then, to
get it out of the way? tish, is this okay? adrienne: are you thinking that
kim
medica's mom could do it?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 437 - 19:26:27 ]
RE: [Laurie] I am really sorry everyone but I have to leave. A last minute
mandatory practice came up for my choir and I will be very behind if I
miss it. I will read what you discuss in the caht room when i return at
10. Bye.
Laurie - If you are already gone and come back to read this, please make
sure you
can get to the contest site. I will eamil you all the answers tonight so
you have
them.
[ Adrienne - 438 - 19:26:35 ]
I just spoke to a woman who does embroidery in her home. We could
definitely get
shirts made by Thursday morning.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 439 - 19:27:23 ]
RE: [Bonnie] lisa: how do you feel about this denim and white idea? it's
fine with me, as long as it's not too much trouble by thursday. should
we just plan on doing that then, to get it out of the way? tish, is this
okay? adrienne: are you thinking that kim medica's mom could do it?
I missed somthing about the shirt. What exactly do you wnat to do?
[ Lisa - 440 - 19:28:37 ]
The denim and white idea is fine with me, but I don't already own a shirt
that fits
the criteria. Where could I get one in time? Maybe I'm confused, but is it
possible
to make a few extra shirts like the ones used by the group before so that
we will
all look the same without redoing everything?
[ Adrienne - 441 - 19:29:05 ]
I agree with Alice. This design should be done once and then we can order
shirts
for everyone. How do all the girls feel about this?
[ Bonnie - 442 - 19:29:06 ]
i guess there's a design with white embroidery on denim that we've got. it
might
be janese's logo...then again, i could probably whip something together
too, if you
want me too, on the computer with some creative program or something.
nothing
special, just something that will work. adrienne can get them done by
thurs. i
don't know if this is okya, though.
[ Nicole - 443 - 19:29:41 ]
Why don't we quickly decide if we want to make new shirts for Thurs or
stick
w/the old ones for now.
[ Lisa - 444 - 19:30:14 ]
I have no problem borrowing someone else's shirt, except if I get the
shirt signed.
I mainly feel that it doesn't solve the problem long turn. However, if
getting the
shirts done by thurs. is the issue, that's fine with me. Am I making any
sense?
[ Alice - 445 - 19:30:32 ]
Tish, you're about to lose me. Please e-mail me any info. or input you
need from
me re: the April (or future) launch (i.e. dates, criteria for
participation, cost to us,
etc.). Sorry ladies, but my house is under construction, my job is
overwhelmingly
busy these days, and I have family commitments not being attended to.
[ Lisa - 446 - 19:31:08 ]
I meant long term
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 447 - 19:31:09 ]
RE: [Lisa] The denim and white idea is fine with me, but I don't already
own a shirt that fits the criteria. Where could I get one in time? Maybe
I'm confused, but is it possible to make a few extra shirts like the ones
used by the group before so that we will all look the same without
redoing everything?
I'm still not sure what the denim and white is? Do you girls want a denim
shirt
with whie embroadery? I like the idea of a denim shirt. We could have long
sleaves
of sleavless for hotter weather. I could see just the nmae and web site
for now
and add a logo later?
[ Adrienne - 448 - 19:31:18 ]
Tish, Can the logo say "Young Women of NASA Advisory Council"?
[ Lisa - 449 - 19:32:16 ]
Bonnie said she had a white denim shirt that she though would be nice.
[ Bonnie - 450 - 19:32:24 ]
tish, that sounds like a good idea to me. that's more of a long term
thing, too, it
sounds like, as long as everybody likes it. the name and website will work
for now.
[ Adrienne - 451 - 19:33:09 ]
We can get denim shirts at Old Navy or the Gap
[ Alice - 452 - 19:33:52 ]
Happy shirt shopping all.... Bye-bye!
[ Nicole - 453 - 19:33:59 ]
we don't have all the girls here. i don't think it's fair to make a
permanent decision
about the shirts now. should we include the other girls in this decision?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 454 - 19:34:03 ]
Consensus on the shirts? I suggest a denim one with simple web site and
Young
Wom.... on the breast pocket. Maybe on the other side your first name.
This could
be embroadered or printed in white. Later we can add a logo or image onthe
back.
Other idea would be white polo design with blue writing.
[ Bonnie - 455 - 19:34:14 ]
good luck with everything, alice...bye!
[ Lisa - 456 - 19:34:38 ]
The only thing is that we have to decide on something by Thurs.
[ Christine - 457 - 19:35:27 ]
I like the denim shirt idea, but I agree with Nicole that maybe we should
wait for
everyone's approval before making a permanent decision.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 458 - 19:35:41 ]
RE: [Adrienne] Tish, Can the logo say "Young Women of NASA Advisory
Council"?
Is this white demin or blue?
[ Bonnie - 459 - 19:35:46 ]
tish, this sounds good for now. something good enough for this weekend and
definitely expandable and flexible for the whole group. and i already have
one, so
at least if no one likes it, it won't have cost too much
[ Adrienne - 460 - 19:36:15 ]
Actually, we have to decide now. If you decide you want these shirts made,
I can
call Mrs. Medica back. I like the idea of a polo shirt, too.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 461 - 19:36:30 ]
I think having something for this tri is important and it can be something
pretty
generic that we can add logo , patches, etc. to later.
[ Lisa - 462 - 19:36:36 ]
Tish-your denim plan sounds fine with me. It allows to update it all
later. We
should make certain to buy more shirts that people because as the group
grows,
we will want to keep on matching. We should also make the style something
that
is easy to match.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 463 - 19:38:13 ]
RE: [Adrienne] Actually, we have to decide now. If you decide you want
these shirts made, I can call Mrs. Medica back. I like the idea of a polo
shirt, too.
Okay, polo or denim. What will be easier to get. Adrienne if y ou have the
contact
to get the embro. could you also get the shirts to her and then to Bonnie
by Thurs.
That's a lot to ask of you but it sounds like you've got some connection
there and it
might be a lot quicker. Consensus on white polo, blue denim, white, denim,
short or
long sleeves for Memphis?
[ Nicole - 464 - 19:38:22 ]
I think the denim is a good idea. If we could order the shirts from one of
those
catalogues or find a shirt that looks like one in catalogues that produce
the shirts
all year round, it would help that way we can make two by Thurs. and worry
about
the rest later.
[ Nicole - 465 - 19:39:25 ]
I'd like blue denim w/short sleeves
[ Bonnie - 466 - 19:39:42 ]
denim sounds good to me. i already have a denim button down. it's short
sleeved.
that means we'd only have to buy one and get it to Mrs. medica. she's a
mom at
presentation, where me and adrienne are. it won't be a problem.
[ Adrienne - 467 - 19:40:03 ]
Ok -- so have we decided on a denim shirt? If so, what color embroidery do
you
want? I just got off the phone with Mrs. Medica and this can be
accomplished. We
need the shirts and a decision about wording and thread color.
[ Nicole - 468 - 19:40:42 ]
i think white embroidery would look good on denim
[ Adrienne - 469 - 19:41:04 ]
If you want me to pick up a shirt for Lisa, I could run over to old navy
tonight.
[ Bonnie - 470 - 19:41:16 ]
me too, nicole.
[ Lisa - 471 - 19:41:22 ]
blue denim w/short sleeves!
[ Lisa - 472 - 19:41:57 ]
I might be able to make it to Old Navy,too. Where is one?
[ Adrienne - 473 - 19:42:38 ]
There is one at Westgate in San Jose. Do you live near Saratoga/Cupertino?
[ Christine - 474 - 19:42:42 ]
The blue denim idea sounds good to me, too.
[ Nicole - 475 - 19:43:07 ]
there's an Old Navy at the Great Mall, at Westgate... there might be
locations on
the website. I think it's www.oldnavy.com
[ Christine - 476 - 19:43:12 ]
There's an Old Navy in Redwood City, too (if that is closer).
[ Lisa - 477 - 19:43:34 ]
I live in Los Altos. How far is it? (You can tell I don't really drive!)
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 478 - 19:43:49 ]
Okay - blue demin, short sleeved, for now. I say dark blue stitching or
red since it
patriotic and NASA looking. Young Women of NASA Advisory Council on the
first line
of the breast pocket area, under that the web site address:
quest.nasa.gov/women/YWAC (it's shorter and I'll have the linke worked
out) and
then on the other breast pocket the first name. Later we can add logo
tothe back,
patches, etc.
[ Nicole - 479 - 19:43:52 ]
point of clarification...what are we going to put on the shirt?
[ Adrienne - 480 - 19:44:01 ]
The only problem is that I should really get these shirts to Mrs. Medica
tomorrow.
If Lisa lives near Saratoga/Cupertino, we could meet.
[ Nicole - 481 - 19:44:35 ]
i think white would be better b/c red and dark blue won't really show up
on the
blue denim
[ Bonnie - 482 - 19:44:54 ]
it might be better if either me, nicole, or adrienne picks it up because
we'd have to
get it to mrs medica either via presentation (san jose) or her house
(almaden).
since lisa lives so far and doesn't drive....it might be difficult. i
could probably pick
it up, too.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 483 - 19:45:09 ]
Okay, I'll leave it up to you Adrinenee to choose a color with Ms. Med...
after you
look at the shirts. you will be better able to judge once you see the
color of denim.
I will be happy to reimburse you for the shirts, and then we can make a
lot more
after that. What do you think?
[ Adrienne - 484 - 19:45:10 ]
Lisa, it is so close to Cupertino. Give me your phone number and I will
call you with
directions. Its about a ten minute drive from your house.
[ Lisa - 485 - 19:45:31 ]
I can't make it tonight, but I can probably get it tomorrow. Will that
work?
[ Adrienne - 486 - 19:45:43 ]
I agree that red embroidery will stand out more. I think the reason why
our shirts
were notice in Florida was because it was white with dark blue and red!
[ Nicole - 487 - 19:45:53 ]
that sounds like a good plan Tish!
[ Bonnie - 488 - 19:46:27 ]
i really do like the red and blue too (very patriotic) but i agree that it
might not
show up. unless we do just our names in red, and the logo in white, or
something
like that?
[ Nicole - 489 - 19:46:55 ]
Maybe Bonnie should get it b/c Lisa would have to get the shirt, drive to
San Jose
to drop it off...it just seems like a big hassel for Lisa.
[ Adrienne - 490 - 19:47:05 ]
I think we have agreed on the shirts. If Lisa and I could meet in a little
while at
Old Navy, we'll get this under way.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 491 - 19:47:50 ]
Okay are we set on the shirts?
[ Adrienne - 492 - 19:48:03 ]
Yes, next topic!
[ Bonnie - 493 - 19:48:12 ]
i'm sure mrs. medica will know best of all about which colors to use once
we see
the shirts and the text.
[ Nicole - 494 - 19:48:13 ]
Maybe we could do this for the shirts...we could wear a red tank/shirt
under, put
the denim shirt over and leave it unbuttoned and have white embroidery on
the
denim?
[ Christine - 495 - 19:49:00 ]
Nicole- that is a really cute idea...good way to incorporate
red/white/blue and still
be able to read the stuff on the shirts.
[ Bonnie - 496 - 19:49:00 ]
sounds good, nicole. did i need to pick up the shirt? i could do it
tomorrow...
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 497 - 19:49:10 ]
As to the launch. I guess it's a matter of trying to push for hte April
date to get it
together or go for August. What do you guys think?
[ Adrienne - 498 - 19:49:19 ]
I like the idea of a red tank underneath!
[ Adrienne - 499 - 19:49:45 ]
Bonnie, I'll call you when we are offline.
[ Lisa - 500 - 19:49:50 ]
Wait, when should we meet? It turns out I have no ride tonight.
[ Adrienne - 501 - 19:50:15 ]
Bonnie and Lisa, do you want me to pick up the shirts?
[ Nicole - 502 - 19:50:19 ]
I really would like to go to the April launch. If we start organizing now,
I know we
could get it together! It might be a good idea for us to meet live like we
did at
Pres.
[ Bonnie - 503 - 19:50:19 ]
what's the deal with this stream... project? it sounds like really good
publicity for
us, but could we realistically get it all together by april? it's fast
approaching.
[ Adrienne - 504 - 19:51:03 ]
Tish, did you say that the launch conference was not going to happen in
April.
Which launch is it in conjunction with?
[ Lisa - 505 - 19:51:14 ]
I think it would be great to aim for the April date, but if it doesn't
look like it'll
work, we should make a big effort to get all prep. for August underway
early, if
it's possible.
[ Nicole - 506 - 19:51:52 ]
If there is a conference in April, it would be better to go to that one,
but if not, we
should do the August launch.
[ Christine - 507 - 19:51:54 ]
Do the Streammedia people only want to cover the April launch, or would
they be
interested in Aug. too?
[ Lisa - 508 - 19:52:28 ]
Adrienne- If you could pick up the shirts without too much of a hassle, I
would be
really grateful.
[ Bonnie - 509 - 19:52:48 ]
how's funding looking for april?
[ Christine - 510 - 19:52:55 ]
If we went for the April 13 launch, what day would we be back by?
(Sorry...my
parents are bugging me so we can plan a college trip)
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 511 - 19:54:34 ]
The only concern I had with August is that a few council members might be
graduating and not get to go... HQ had wanted to produce another launch
conference similar to the one that you all went to. They are going to wait
until the
following launch to put the conferenc together. But we can still do a
webcast with
streamedia regardless if we have a launch conference or not? I think if we
get
funded from then we should go for the April date? Why don't I move forward
with
the compamy to see if they can pull together the funding. In the mean time
I'll see
who's availabe.
[ Nicole - 512 - 19:55:29 ]
I think our three main issues in deciding if we should go in April are: 1)
Is
Streammedia going to only cover the April launch? 2) Is there going to be
a
conference? 3) Do we have funding? If we have those questions answered, I
think
we can make a good decision
[ Christine - 513 - 19:55:44 ]
That sounds good. I think we should go ahead and at least try for April.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 514 - 19:55:55 ]
The April 13 date is not firm. I kow it's hard but we really don't know
the exact
launch date until about 2 weeks before when they have final approval.
It'll be one
of those hectic trips again I'm afraid.
[ Bonnie - 515 - 19:56:29 ]
if we have the funding, let's go for it, as long as we can pull together.
i'm sure we
can prep for it though. and because there would be a lot of us going, it
would mean
more team work and less responsibility on us all, so it wouldn't be so
much of a
struggle to prep. does that make sense?
[ Adrienne - 516 - 19:58:24 ]
It sounds like we are all in agreement and want to go to the April launch.
Tish,
what is the funding situation?
[ Nicole - 517 - 19:58:33 ]
If the girls graduating can't go, we should do the April launch. It would
be nice to
have everyone attend b/c many girls haven't had an opportunity to join our
other
trips.
[ Bonnie - 518 - 19:58:48 ]
and the streammedia situation?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 519 - 19:59:07 ]
RE: [Nicole] I think our three main issues in deciding if we should go in
April are: 1) Is Streammedia going to only cover the April launch? 2) Is
there going to be a conference? 3) Do we have funding? If we have
those questions answered, I think we can make a good decision
This is too hectric for me. I've got kis amok and one just pressed my
moderation
buttions while I' was trying to get another one in bed..
[ Nicole - 520 - 20:00:01 ]
sorry Tish!
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 521 - 20:00:30 ]
RE: [Tish/NASAChatHost] This is too hectric for me. I've got kis amok and
one just pressed my moderation buttions while I' was trying to get
another one in bed..
THere is no launch conference but that doesnet really matter we can still
get all
the support and contact from KSC that we need - interview, etc. We might
have
better access if there wasn't a big hype from HQ as they would like the pr
it would
bring. I suggest I see if STream... can pul it togher. I'll also get
consensus from
everyone to see who can attend. and then take it from there.
[ Bonnie - 522 - 20:01:17 ]
since there's nothing we can really decide on now, because not many people
are
here, it sounds like it would be a good idea to go for april and see what
happens. if
we get funding, then we can go for this streammedia thing and the girls
graduating can still go.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 523 - 20:01:34 ]
What if we connect via email at the end of the week when I get some
feedback
from streamedia. I got the proposal already from them and I will incoude
the
details in the email. Then I can see who can attend if it goes through.
[ Nicole - 524 - 20:01:49 ]
Even if there isn't a conference, is there a chance we will be able to
tour KSC
again? (like the Orbiter Processing Facility, Vehicle Assembly Building,
and the
other stuff you don't see on the normal tour)
[ Christine - 525 - 20:02:01 ]
Sounds good!
[ Lisa - 526 - 20:02:20 ]
I psyched already!
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 527 - 20:02:29 ]
Are you guys set on the shirts. Please call ba if you need anything from
me to ge
that done. Bonnie I didn't get your permission slip yet. Can you fax it to
me
tonight?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 528 - 20:03:51 ]
RE: [Nicole] Even if there isn't a conference, is there a chance we will
be
able to tour KSC again? (like the Orbiter Processing Facility, Vehicle
Assembly Building, and the other stuff you don't see on the normal tour)
Definately, I talked to Terri at HQ today and she has no problem getting
some of
the same tour guides and engineers, etc. We would then also select
specific
women to profile and each of you would do a segment on her.
[ Adrienne - 529 - 20:04:12 ]
That sounds fine. If you could let us know tentative dates that would
help. I could
make tentative reservations. Bookings are tough for Florida around Easter
but at
least we are coming from the West and not from the Northeast! I'm still
worried
about getting rooms. Prices will be higher this time of year.
[ Bonnie - 530 - 20:04:24 ]
i'll check with my dad. i'm not sure if i'm able to do it from home. if
not, how's first
thing tomorrow morning? i can get it to you by 7:20. the shirts are taken
care of
for now. adrienne are will talk when we're offline to coordinate it all
with mrs.
medica and old navy. :)
[ Adrienne - 531 - 20:04:50 ]
Lisa, please give me your phone number and I'll call when we are offline
about the
shirts.
[ Nicole - 532 - 20:04:51 ]
That would be awesome!
[ Lisa - 533 - 20:05:37 ]
can I post my number here, tish?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 534 - 20:05:54 ]
RE: [Bonnie] i'll check with my dad. i'm not sure if i'm able to do it
from
home. if not, how's first thing tomorrow morning? i can get it to you by
7:20. the shirts are taken care of for now. adrienne are will talk when
we're offline to coordinate it all with mrs. medica and old navy. :)
sound fine Bonnie
[ Adrienne - 536 - 20:06:41 ]
Lisa, just give me your shirt size and you don't have to post your phone
number.
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 538 - 20:07:12 ]
I'll wiat till I hear you've got the number and then I'll erase. Can we
end after that.
I'm sorry about this night. 7:00 is probablyl too early for me....
[ Lisa - 539 - 20:07:21 ]
My shirt size would be a medium
[ Adrienne - 540 - 20:07:21 ]
i got the number. go ahead and erase it. I'm sorry, I didn't think about
the security
of the phone number.
[ Bonnie - 541 - 20:08:14 ]
7:00 wasn't a very good time for me, either. so adrienne and i will
coordinate on
the shirts, then? and i'll get that faxed to you by tom. am, tish.
[ Adrienne - 542 - 20:08:26 ]
I think we can sign out now. See ya
[ Lisa - 543 - 20:08:29 ]
I think we've got everything pretty much wrapped up online.
[ Nicole - 544 - 20:08:51 ]
I think so too.
[ Christine - 545 - 20:08:54 ]
Ok everyone. 'Night!
[ Nicole - 546 - 20:09:16 ]
Good night! Do you we have anything else, Tish?
[ Bonnie - 547 - 20:10:46 ]
alright. tish and lisa...email me or call to coordinate for thurs. i'm
still a little
unsure about our meeting place at the airport. and i also wanted to check
if we
were planning on checking bags or just carrying on? let's just figure it
out later,
though. lisa, you have my email. tish, do you think you could get me
susan's?
[ Tish/NASAChatHost - 548 - 20:10:52 ]
That's it you guys thanks
[ Nicole - 549 - 20:11:08 ]
Bye everybody!
[ Lisa - 550 - 20:01:34 ]
Do we have a meeting tonight?
d/r [ Bonnie - 442 - 19:29:06 ]
i guess there's a design with white embroidery on denim that we've got. it
might be janese's
logo...then again, i could probably whip something together too, if you
want me too, on the
computer with some creative program or something. nothing special, just
something that will
work. adrienne can get them done by thurs. i don't know if this is okya,
though.
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 551 - 17:57:54 ]
Hi Girls- I cleaned up the room but saved our archived dialogue in case we
need to go back to
any notes. The archive will reside at:
http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/women/YWAC/chatarchive.html
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 552 - 17:59:33 ]
Thank you for joining us tonight. I appreciate you accomodating my
schedule and going with
the 8:00 p.m. time. I have two things on the agenda for tonight. Quick
discussion of Women's
History Month contest. 2) Upcoming launch
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 553 - 18:00:44 ]
Those of you who are working on the contest. I know LeHang handled the
first week and sent
me a list withthe list of names with correct responses. If you are
handling another week
please let me know your progress or where you are with this.
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 554 - 18:03:27 ]
2) As I began to discuss in the previous chat, there is a very good
possibility that we will have
funding to send all girls to the upcoming launch. I would like to know the
availability of each
of you. The problem is that the launch date is still "unfirm" It could be
the 17th and then
today I heard it might be the 26th of April. We would be gone about 5
days. This would be
because of the concept designed by Streamedia and the coverage they would
like to do. I will
paste here their concept so you can read through it. Then once we get teh
contest discussion
over with I will open the discussion up to issues pertaining to the
launch. Then I would like to
get a feel for which of you could commit to go.
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 555 - 18:05:02 ]
Here is the proposed concept: Women on the Edge NASA Webcast proposal
Odyssey 2000:
Future Women of NASA (working title) Program Concept: On April 13th,
Streamedia
Communications and NASA Quests Women of NASA will join together to produce
an original
Webcast in connection with the upcoming launch of the Space Shuttle
Atlantis. Timed fittingly
around the 2000 Take our Daughters to Work Day, we will follow a diverse
group of 9 teenage
girls as they travel from California to the Kennedy Space Center to
experience and explore
the work of women involved in math, science and technology careers at
NASA. Each girl will
have the responsibility of choosing a profession related to the launch,
ranging from marketing
to engineering, and will serve as an on-air correspondent reporting on the
ways in which
these women contribute to the NASA team. Personal profiles of the women of
NASA, behind
the scenes exclusive interviews combined with the unique experience of the
girls as they
embark on their journey will culminate with the shuttle launch. Individual
clips ranging from
3-5 minutes in length, combined with written articles, chat discussions
and flash animation
will take the user on an interactive journey celebrating the work and
contributions of women
in NASA careers. The program will be presented on Streambroadcast.coms
interactive Women
on the Edge network with portions of the program also streaming on the
NASA site. The
program could also be edited as a linear documentary for television.
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 556 - 18:05:21 ]
Let me know when you are here
d/r [ Lisa - 557 - 19:57:01 ]
Hi, I'm here!
d/r [ Nicole - 558 - 19:57:35 ]
Hi, guys!
d/r [ Lisa - 559 - 19:58:03 ]
And whenever the launch is, if we have the funding, I am able to make it.
d/r [ Nicole - 560 - 19:59:19 ]
I am so excited about the launch!
d/r [ Bonnie - 561 - 20:01:11 ]
hi guys...i'm here!
d/r [ Christine - 562 - 20:01:45 ]
Hey everyone...I'm here!
d/r [ Adrienne - 564 - 20:05:54 ]
Hi Everyone, I'm here
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 567 - 20:07:22 ]
RE: [Christine] Tish- I worked on the contest the week after LeHang. I
only got
three messages in all, so I guess it was a slow week. Here are the people
with
the right answers: Valerie Hufford vhufford@stevens-tech.edu age: 21
Stevens
Institute of Technology Christopher Lui. christopherlui99@hotmail.com Age:
16
Louis st. Laurent School in Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA.
Okay thanks Christine - I'll add them to LeHang's list. did you delete the
once you knew they
had the correct answers or are they all in the "inbox"?
d/r [ kim - 568 - 20:07:51 ]
hi
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 570 - 20:10:28 ]
RE: [Christine] They're all still in the "inbox". Did you want me to
delete them?
No - let's leave them in so we have them online as well in case we need to
go back to an
address. But please do delete the incorrect ones so we just have a running
list of correct
ones. I will ask LeHang to do the same. Who was doing week #3?
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 573 - 20:13:36 ]
I know Andrea won't be joining us. I think we have Kim, Bonnie, Nicole,
Lisa, Christine and
Adrienne. I have not heard from LeHang, Sarah, Jackie. Am I missing anyone
else?
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 578 - 20:15:59 ]
RE: [kim] phone call would be best
Okay at the end of this chat let's set a time. Remind me
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 580 - 20:16:30 ]
RE: [Adrienne] Where's Laurie?
Don't know. So we are missing Laurie, Sarah, LeHang, Jackie. I that
correct?
d/r [ Alice - 581 - 20:16:39 ]
Hi all...just logged in. Sorry I'm late. Le Hang told me she didn't think
she was going to make it.
She's really busy with school work & applying for college scholarships.
d/r [ Laurie - 583 - 20:19:06 ]
Hi everyone, sorry I am late.
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 584 - 20:19:24 ]
One more thing before we move onto the launch discussion. for those of you
who were
featured in the photo shoot, I got a call from the Ms. Foundation and they
also turned it into a
billboard and it is in all the subways in New York. Lisa and Bonnie also
handed out lots of
cards and did a fantastic job of networking at the WIAI. Hits are way up
on your pages. The
poster also has lots of info. on you girls and invites people to read
through your profile. Again,
if there is anything you want to update on your profile please email me
with that info. as lot's
of people are reading them.
d/r [ Bonnie - 586 - 20:20:45 ]
That is SO AWESOME!!!
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 587 - 20:21:42 ]
Okay - we've got Alice and Laurie as well. I hope you had a chance to read
through the draft
proposal of the launch event. As I stated earlier last Friday I was 99.9
percent we had all the
money and now here was go again with some corporate funding headaches. I
will know be
Wed. and even if it doesn't come through for this date as it is so close
they would fund
October launch. So first are there any questions or concerns about what
the concept is?
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 591 - 20:25:29 ]
RE: [Alice] Tish, what poster are you referring to?
There are two things. One is the photo shoot that was at JSC and features
Sarah, Kim, Laurie
and Nicole. This was produced by the Ms. Foundation and is aparantly in
many, many major
magazines this month and April and May. This same ad was also made into a
billboard and is in
the subways. The poster is a commenorative poster for WIAI that they
unveiled at the recent
conference. It feature a smaller version of the same photo with the girls
and astronauts and
then about 10 other NASA women aviators. The back had teaching tips,
curriculum, and info.
about WOn and the council. I only received 3 but I'm hoping Bonnie and
Lisa snagged some
extras??
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 593 - 20:26:13 ]
RE: [Laurie] I think I want to update my quote and there are a few other
things I
want to change, should i email you them, or tell you now?
Yes, anyone who has changes please just email me them.
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 598 - 20:29:21 ]
RE: [Alice] Tish, when I checked the pages earlier today, I noticed that
the quote
still has the "God" reference. I thought we had decided (again) to edit
that out?
Also, wondering about the poster you're referring to that you said has
info. about
the girls and refers to the site. I've been really disappointed with the
Ms.
Foundation's use of the photo from the Houston trip because I don't see
any
reference to the girls, where they came from, that they're members of
Young
Women of NASA, etc. They seem to name the women astronauts but not the
girls.
On the Take Our Daughters to Work Day website as well as the magazine ads
I've
seen.
Maybe you have an old version in your cache I don't see that God quote,
reload then let me
know what page you are referring to. As to the Ms. Foundation, I don't
think they will name
the girls individually but they will link to the WON site. I don't have
anything up yet about the
VTODTWD yet - it should go up April 3rd.
d/r [ Adrienne - 599 - 20:29:37 ]
Alice, Bonnie and I will mail you a poster tomorrow. Please email the
address we should use to
arenner@pres-net.com
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 601 - 20:30:46 ]
RE: [Bonnie] So would there be a camera crew and everything, with
directors and
all, following us around, directing us and such?
Okay I will get the posters from Susan mail each of you one. I did not
know she got them.
Done on that
d/r [ Laurie - 606 - 20:34:05 ]
I see the reference to God as well on the page i am looking at.
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 608 - 20:35:58 ]
I will make sure everyone is mailed a poster from the WIAI conference.
This is not the JSC
photo shoot ad. I don't have any official copy of that but I know Nicole
sent a copy to those of
you who were featured via email. If I see a magazine with it I will be
sure to send copies as
well with the poster.
d/r [ Lisa - 613 - 20:38:36 ]
Also, Tish, do you know when our WAI journals will be up? There's no
hurry, I just am excited
to see it go up.
d/r [ Nicole - 614 - 20:39:01 ]
I saw it in the March issue of Allure (with Charlize Theron, the girl from
the Cider House Rules)
and last week's Entertainment Weekly (with all the Oscar predictions)
opposite the page
w/the review of *NSYNC's new album. My friends have seen it other places,
so it has been
showing up in a lot of mags!
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 615 - 20:39:10 ]
Okay I saw it now - don't know how that got back there so thanks for
catching it Alice - I just
changed it. and edited out the God sentence.
d/r [ Nicole - 616 - 20:39:30 ]
I'll email everyone the ad again
d/r [ Bonnie - 619 - 20:40:43 ]
Nicole, you can just use the same list of email addresses Tish always uses
to contact the
whole group. That way, everyone will get it. I can help you tomorrow if
you want.
d/r [ Laurie - 620 - 20:40:52 ]
I have heard from people that we have been in CosmoGirl, Cosmopoliton,
Glamour, Alure,
Business Week, Time, and Architectural Digest. Although i do not know the
months for all of
those.
d/r [ Nicole - 621 - 20:41:11 ]
Sure, I'll bring it to school tomorrow
d/r [ Alice - 622 - 20:41:39 ]
Oops, sorry I hit send too quickly. The Streamedia concept sounds great.
The timing is not
great for us though, especially if it's going to be even closer to TODTWD,
'cause we sponsor our
own large event here. Also, not sure about Kim but Le Hang has AP exams
coming up beginning
of May & is already missing school to attend a conference in Chicago with
me.
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 623 - 20:43:22 ]
RE: [Christine] In the Streamedia message it said each of us would focus
on a
profession pertaining to the launch. Is this the same thing? Are we
focusing more
on the NASA woman or on the job she does?
The original concept woule be for each of you to cover one NASA women but
that would be be
potentially 10 cameras so they wanted to pair you up in twos and then with
one NASA women
for the two of you. We will figure out which NASA women we would include
and would be
available and then let you decide who takes who. These women would all
have something to
do with the shuttle, the launch, ect. Of course all women at KSC just
about do so it really isn't
an issue. It's more an issue to get interesting, exciting, women who would
be great to feature
and who are available. What other questions do you all have about the
concept?
d/r [ Bonnie - 627 - 20:45:17 ]
Would we spend the whole day with our WON, kind of like "A Day in the Life
of..." and then
also specifically refer to the launch? We'd tour around, ask different
questions, etc?
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 629 - 20:45:45 ]
RE: [Lisa] My still talks about manifesting the glory of God. Did we
decide to leave
that, or is my computer just funky?
Thanks you guys - I just deleted that as well.
d/r [ unknown - 630 - 20:45:58 ]
I might have a big confict, I am in England on tour for my choir from the
15th to the 22nd of
April.
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 633 - 20:46:49 ]
RE: [Lisa] Also, Tish, do you know when our WAI journals will be up?
There's no
hurry, I just am excited to see it go up.
I will get them up tonight.
d/r [ Bonnie - 635 - 20:47:06 ]
Yes, Lisa, that's a good idea. Tish, I know that I've heard something
before about a
"two-weeks prior" setting the date of the launch, but then you never know,
i guess. Is there
anyway to do this ultimatum thing, though?
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 643 - 20:49:39 ]
RE: [Alice] If it doesn't work out for this April launch, are the
Streamedia folks
willing to do the same sort of thing following & featuring our girls for
the next
launch, you mentioned one in October?
Streamedia really wants to do this April launch but the funding may not
come through as it is
so close and is hard for a corporation to cut the check. If it comes down
to the fact that this
just doesn;'t work for our group then we would have to wait. Please tell
me this now. Who
would be available to go away for about 5 days give or take before or
after a April 17 launch.
And the same for a April 26 launch.
d/r [ Alice - 660 - 20:58:53 ]
Kim--CALL ME tomorrow. We need to catch up! I'll be in the office all day
(507-6076).
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 661 - 20:59:00 ]
RE: [Alice] RE: DYF participation, if neither Kim or Le Hang are able to
make it, what
do you think about me inviting Vanessa (she was originally part of the
group for
the first meeting but graduated). She's back at Autodesk as a college
intern and
might be interested & available to go. She has lots of interviewing &
public
speaking experience too.
good idea
d/r [ kim - 662 - 20:59:51 ]
ok
d/r [ kim - 663 - 21:00:04 ]
is 4:30 ok
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 664 - 21:00:12 ]
RE: [Christine] Tish- For the April 26th date would we be back by the
evening of
April 28?
If we got out there and did the interview and filming and then the launch
slipped I guess
those who had to get back would go and those that could stay would.
Similar to the previous
launch.
d/r [ Christine - 667 - 21:01:16 ]
Sounds good...I'm not very familiar w/ the launches- do they get pushed
back very often?
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 668 - 21:01:35 ]
Oops let me paste that again. April 17 Kim/no. Has to be home the 18th
Lisa / yes Laurie / no
Bonnie / yes Nicole / yes Christine / yes April 26 Kim/yes Lisa / must be
back after May 7
Laurie / yes but must be back May 9 Bonnie / no Nicole/ yes Christine /
must return by 28
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 670 - 21:02:13 ]
RE: [Alice] Vanessa will be in the office tomorrow, I'll talk to her about
this trip.
Also re: DYF membership, I've been thinking that we might want to start
rolling in
one or both of our newer interns who are Juniors this year since Le Hang &
Kim
are off to college in the Fall & will be busy in college life. What do you
all think?
sounds good alice
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 672 - 21:02:49 ]
RE: [Nicole] Yes, i would like to talk about new membership, but i don't
know if we
have time now
let's discuss that at another meeting.
d/r [ Alice - 690 - 21:08:18 ]
Also doesn't count Vanessa.
d/r [ Nicole - 692 - 21:09:15 ]
it sounds like we have enough people to go to either. it would be nice to
go to this one
because the seniors who are graduating might not be able to go to the
next.
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 694 - 21:09:17 ]
RE: [Adrienne] It looks like we have 3 positive responses to 4/17 and 5
positive
responses to 4/26.
Correct Adriene
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 700 - 21:10:52 ]
RE: [kim] the morning of the 18th
I think you've have to fly out th 17th to be back the 18th so its iffy.
d/r [ Lisa - 701 - 21:11:21 ]
Do we really only have three for the 17th? I can count me ,Christine,
Bonnie, is that it?
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 707 - 21:13:57 ]
RE: [Alice] Tish--I think 1) you should find out if there's external
funding for April,
and 2) what the "real" scheduled date for the launch is. You could
communicate
with us all via e-mail in the next week with that info. and a decision
could be
made from there.
Okay I have a schedule from each of you. I don't know when I will know the
exact date but
once I do I will match with what you told me and then email each of you to
see if you are
available. I think we need at least 5 to make a good show and then there
would be one
camera for each of you and one NASA women - 5 girls , 5 women. I think we
can call it a night
now and I can let you know as soon as I know the date. I have a conference
with the fudners
tomoorw and will let them know your availability and what they think about
the numbers.
Sound okay?
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 715 - 21:16:51 ]
RE: [Alice] Ok, Tish I'll e-mail you tomorrow after I've talked to Vanessa
and let
you know if she's available. I'm pretty sure Le Hang won't be able to go
either
week in April, but I'll fill her in just in case. When is our next
meeting?
Let's schedule for two weeks April 10th 8:00 p.m.
d/r [ Lisa - 717 - 21:17:07 ]
I think we should try to get a links page with links to orgs,
scholarships, and cool stuff. That
way we could broaden the network out there. But this is for another time.
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 720 - 21:17:46 ]
RE: [Adrienne] Sounds great. Tish, do you have a few minute to talk by
phone
tonight? Could you call me at 408-446-4297?
Adrienne - can you call me tomorrow at work. I'll be at 650 604-0848 all
day.
d/r [ Tish/NASAChatHost - 732 - 21:31:48 ]
