Subjects for Scheduled Chats
Hi everybody...what do you all think of having a scheduled subject for the 8 pm chat room sessions?
If you think it's a good idea, please reply to this with the type of orchid you would like to have presented on any one night. From those suggestions, a schedule can be put together for a certain type of 'chid on a particular night. What do you think?
I think one night should be dedicated to Vandas.
Your turn.....  |

One for Catts. I rarely go into any type of chat anywhere, but subject orchid chats sounds like they got a purpose!!

Sounds good...five more nights to go 
I know people aren't always interested in chat rooms, but it's a very cool option for us. I think if it's set up with a different type of 'chid for each night of the week, it will draw more attention, rather than just a general chat.
Okay, one night for vandas, one for catts...I'm sure someone will suggest a "slipper" night 
With all the types of 'chids out there, I'm sure we can all come up with a list of seven |

We will have to put it into the calendar too.
How about Monday night Agraecums and the like.
Now I've suggested two, but I wont suggest no more for fear of becoming a chat hog.

Wow, you're on a roll! Hopefully, others (not that your opinion doesn't matter) will chime in. The whole reason for wanting to get this together is so that there are a number of us in there at the same time. I hope some others agree with us. If this gets off the ground, we can do the calendar setup. Thanks for your input.  |

If you are going to have specific topics, then the major genera should be covered: cattleyas, phalaenopsis, slipper orchids, oncidium alliance, pleurothallid alliance, etc.

maybe leave one night a week for a special topic/unusual orchids. I can see the major alliances as having plenty to talk about each week, but that way the minor genera would each get a little time here and there. it'd be good for learning and branching out too...kinda like a guest lecture/discussion.

It also depends on how many people attend the chat on a regular basis.

Great Idea, whatever you guys decide I'll gladly implement. Keep the suggestions coming. How about something concrete, like:
Monday - Phalaenopsis
Tuesday - Oncidium
Wednesday - Cattleyas
Thursday - ?
Friday - Pleurothallid
Saturday - Slippers
Sunday - ?
feel free to tweak the schedule and add to it

If we are going to have species/alliance specific chats we will need a few more days in the week!
Here are my suggestions:
Monday - Phalaenopsis
Tuesday - Oncidium
Wednesday - Cattleyas
Thursday - Dendrobium
Friday - Pleurothallid
Saturday - Slippers
Sunday - General Orchid Culture
