As some of you may know, I am involved with the Logical Language Group, a not for profit organization that is involved in creating the constructed language Lojban. Lojban is a development of Loglan, developed by James C. Brown. This past weekend saw the holding of the 10th aniversary of Logfest. This is the annual meeting in Washington D.C. to develop the future of Lojban. The meeting is of the members (of which there are now 22) either in person or by proxy. Being a newish volunteer, this was the first meeting i attended. I have been helping the company by volunteering time and effort for the development of the language. I am not a linguist, but i see several merits for a logical language.
This meeting included the board of directers and the voting members. Attending was John Cowan, whom wrote the grammer book which is now for sale by the LLG. Nick Nicholus was able to attend for the first time, as he is from Australia. Nick is the best speaker of Lojban so far. Other people of note for me were Nexus and Heather from Twin Oaks, both interested in the development of Lojban. During the meeting, Alex and I were voted in as members in recognition of the time we have spent working on Lojban. Alex has volunteered to be on the Board of Directors, but is without office. I am now in a commette to develop www.lojban.org as an updated and organized site as a front for the company. I am considering making a H2G2 article on Lojban.
