Hi guys!

We really enjoyed last month's Community Conference Call and are scheduling our second call to take place on January 14th.

When: Wednesday, January 14th at 2pm Pacific time, 5pm Eastern time
Dial In (U.S.):  866-740-1260
Dial In (Outside U.S.): +1 303-248-0285
Access Code: 6415483

A few things:

1 - We really like having this be an open discussion, so there are no set topics for discussion, however there will be some major themes that will be touched on.  I think at the start of the call we'll bring up some topics that we want to cover and then move into taking questions from the community.

2 - We thought it worked really well last time receiving questions via the KivaFriends Chat Room or via PM to me, as it enabled us to move through topics quickly and create a really broad discussion.  It also allowed us to focus on questions which affected most users and channel questions which affected a small number of users to other sources.  However, I do know that the fun of a conference call is actually having that direct contact with the team and so we will encourage people to ask the questions themselves if they like.

So, on the day, if you have a question or issue you'd like to bring up, please either PM me, or I'll also be in the chat room so you can send it to me that way, and let me know if you'd like to phrase the question yourself.  Then I'll introduce you when we get to your question.  For those who are unable to actually be on the call or if you'd prefer me to read the question, we can do that too.

3 - We shifted the time to 5pm Pacific so that it's not during the workday for those on the Pacific time.  While we know that we'll probably never have a time that works for every community member, we think this might be better than the last call time of 2pm Pacific.

4 - Premal will definitely be on the call, and likely Matt will join.  We're expecting Gerard, Liz, Austin and Skylar also.

5 - If you are unable to attend the call, notes will be taken by a couple members of the KivaFriends community, and posted here.

Look forward to speaking to you all again in a couple of weeks!
