Letter from the Editor

September 2009

Thank you for your interest in Spirit of the Times, the monthly newsletter of the US: Georgia Chapter of the Zeitgeist Movement. This is the premiere issue.I have decided to number Spirit of the Times by Volume and Issue. 12 Issues make up a complete Volume. So this is Volume 1 Issue 1. October will be Volume 1 Issue 2 and so on until Volume 1 Issue 12. Then we move to Volume 2 Issue 1 and so forth. One Volume covers a year's time. All of the issues will be archived on the web at Spirit of the Times. The web interface also contains links to subscribe, unsubscribe and contact the editor.

Also, please note, the Georgia Chapter website has a "Forum" section. Everyone is welcome to join the forum and participate in the discussions that are starting there. I would like to see the forum being used as a place where we all dialog with each other about various things related to the chapter such as projects and events. It is also a good place to introduce yourself. We also have subsections in the forum for 'city-level' groups. By this, we mean support for the Zeitgeist Movement organized at the local city or town level. So, for instance, we might have an active Atlanta section, Athens section, Columbus section and Savannah section of the Georgia Chapter. If you are interested in facilitating this in your local area, CONTACT US.

To join the chapter forum, please follow these instructions:

1) REGISTER on the chapter website. This registration is separate from your subscription to Spirit of the Times. It is also separate from registration on the Zeitgeist Movement global website. When you send the registration request, you will receive an activation email. You will need to follow the instructions in that email to confirm your registration. You will only have to register once.

2) Once you are registered, then you can LOGIN to the Georgia Chapter website. When you login, you can then gain access to the forum by clicking on "Communicate" (on the top navigation menu of the chapter site) and choosing "Forum" from the drop down list.

I would like to mention that we have over 100 subscribers to Spirit of the Times. I want to thank each of you individually for your interest and support. We are a very open and diverse group of folks. We organize from a grassroots level. We have no strict hierarchies or authoritarian rules. If you are interested in getting more involved you have many options. You can join the forum, contribute material to this newsletter, come to our monthly meetings, etc. Feel free to CONTACT THE GA CHAPTER if you want to participate.

You may also be interested in a related blog: TheVenusProjectGA. The blog is dedicated to the Zeitgeist Movement and the Venus Project. Feel free to check it out. If you are interested in making comments or posting entries for the blog, you should REGISTER and let me know you want to post. I will have to set your permissions.

Regards,

Bill Z.
