Toki Pona Day 2022

kala Asi opens the 2022 edition of the Toki Pona word poll: https://forms.gle/4mf8AC1Z3LEKdgQ57

Background: For months, Ma Toki Pona VR has been hosting weekly events in VRChat for learning Toki Pona. During these events, participants share social context through a spatial environment. This works well for learning as an alternative to text/voice-only mediums like Discord! Our weekly meetups welcome all; complete beginners are encouraged to join! Meetup schedule: 15 minutes after opening, we hold announcements. Then jan Kekan San gives a half-hour lesson. Then we go play a game while speaking Toki Pona. Then we go to a museum world to use Toki Pona in a more realistic environment. Once a month, we hold a joint meetup with Projekto Babel, a multilingual community based in Japan. During these meetups, we use Toki Pona as a bridge between English and Japanese! Proposal: For Suno pi Toki Pona, the Ma Toki Pona VR and Projekto Babel communities are inviting viewers to watch the stream in VRChat. We are building a venue world to hang out in and watch the stream. During the stream, we'd like 15 minutes to introduce our community. We would also like to hold other panels streamed from VRChat. These panels will be submitted as additional proposals. (These have been submitted by jan Kekan San.) Limitations: VRChat maps are limited to 80 users. The VRChat venue will be designed for the Quest for hardware accessibility. No VR equipment is required, but the in-game live stream only works on Windows. Participants may stream the event if they choose.

no time for this i just made this event last minute im sorry

Basically we were discussing the next issue of uta monsuta in the uta monsuta Discord and we thought a good way to get the word out would be to do a short presentation on the first issue on suno pi toki pona. We'll talk briefly about the zine, do a dramatic reading of a story from it, and then unveil the second issue and say we're looking for submissions [copied from discord] Further details: We will prerecord a presentation in mixed toki pona and English explaining what the zine is. kulupu Eki will read the English portion and I will read the toki pona portion. I will then do a live reading of a story from the zine, "uta", with the text of the story onscreen so people who are HOH or have poor listening comprehension can follow more easily.
