==1. Chats==
Improve, learn, teach Lojban in chats: text or audio/video chats. The overall goal being to establish a broad level of conversational fluency in the Lojban community.

Here are the tools to be used as primary.
=== [[Lojban Live Chat|Live chat on IRC / Telegram / Discord]]===
This is the main place of chat activity.

=== Mailing lists ===
{{Quote box

The [http://groups.google.com/group/lojban-beginners/topics lojban-beginners mailing list] is for questions about learning and understanding Lojban. You can subscribe to the list by sending a question to [mailto:lojban-beginners@googlegroups.com lojban-beginners@googlegroups.com].

The general-purpose [http://groups.google.com/group/lojban/topics lojban mailing list], which covers anything else related to Lojban, was founded in 1989, and has about 500 subscribers. You can subscribe to it by sending an email to [mailto:lojban@googlegroups.com lojban@googlegroups.com].

===Skype and QQ ===
==== Technical rules of using Skype/QQ ====
Some people have trouble operating Skype. So here are the basic rules of a successful voice chat for Skype
# Use a group where all potential speakers share their interest in the forthcoming conference in text form only. This group already exists. It's called {ko ciska po'o tavla ...} (meaning "Talk by writing only...") This group is only for planning, not for actual talking. Ask in this mail thread to add you there.
# One person runs a desktop version of Skype and has good incoming and outcoming internet connection (~1Mbit/sec in both directions is fine).
# This person must add all interested people to his/her friend list and those people must confirm "friendship".
# This person calls the first person and after successful connection drops other people into the chat window.
# Please, everyone switch off your video by pressing on the video button so that it becomes crossed out.
# Before any conference check your microphone and audio settings of Skype. Add "echo123" user (it's a bot) to your friend list, call it and follow the instruction. Change settings of your Skype client if necessary.
# If you have noise around you during the conference or if other members notice a noise from your side switch off your microphone by pressing on the Microphone button so that it becomes crossed out.

I think that as of now Skype is preferable since it has better voice compression and buffering mechanisms preventing clicks/pauses during conversation due to unstable internet connection. As of now it's unlikely that 100% of potential students of Lojban get normal internet connection. Many even change to mobile connection dropping the level of fast + stable internet connection even more.

QQ messenger used in China tested several times with mainland China residents and non-residents works okay. Just like Skype.

==== Skype Phone Group Topics ====
Read more: [[Skype|Skype and important issues of it]].

You can arrange a voice call (phone or VoIP) with another Lojban speaker at any skill level. A <u>lot</u> of people have expressed concern about the phone group with respect to the "well, what would we talk about?" issue.  I'm pretty sure that discussions about that will take up a lot of space, so please see the [[Phone Group Topics|Phone Group Topics]] page.

We welcome <u>anyone</u>, regardless of expertise, physical location or monetary resources.<!--  If you can't speak much lojban, well, learning to understand others will help.  If you can't afford to make long distance phone calls, one of the other members will be happy to call you.  If that doesn't work, [[Robin Lee Powell|Robin Lee Powell]]'m willing to pony up calling card money just to get this going.-->

To join, just add people above to your Skype friends' list and ask who might be available to talk with you.

In an ideal universe, [[Robin Lee Powell|Robin Lee Powell]]'d like to see people matched up with people of very different levels of ability, to spread the expertise around as quickly as possible, but I'm not hugely attached to that.

==== Lojban On The Phone ====
Please bear in mind, everyone, that collision avoidance is hard on the phone.  Please become familiar with ta'a, re'i, be'e, je'e, ki'a and ke'o.  Especially that last one.  :-)

Here's a [[vlaselyle'u|phonetic alphabet]] for spelling words on the phone.

==== Other tools ====
*[https://plus.google.com/111885648105308968553/posts A group] in Google+ where you can videochat in real-time with other Lojbanists less popular tools:
*[[Mumble|Mumble]]: a vocal chatroom
* [http://cinchcast.com/ Cinch] is an audio-blogging service which allows its users to record directly to the website or phone in to record.
*direct browser-to-browser chats like [http://appear.in/ appear.in].

==== About Expertise ====
The "expertise" field in the members table is currently rather informal, and you are welcome to alter yours as you feel appropriate.  However, [[User:Robin Lee Powell|Robin Lee Powell]] and [[User:Nick Nicholas|Nick Nicholas]] have had their expertise certified in person.  The reason behind such system is the option of making the phone group into a ranking system, similar to Chess rankings.  In other words, if you want to be certified Expert level, you ask Robin or Nick to take some time to call you up and basically hammer away at you for an hour.  You, in turn, can then certify people at rankings below Expert (or, possibly, at or below expert).

Note that any use of word lists in any such tests would be cheating.

==2. Real life clubs==
Organize in real life Lojban clubs based on your physical location on the planet:
*[[southeast Michigan Lojban group|Southeast Michigan Lojban Group]] - A group of about half a dozen Lojban enthusiasts met at [[Matt Arnold|Matt Arnold]]'s house in Redford, Michigan about every two weeks (except when college is in session, because so many of them are undergrads, grad students, or teachers). Regular attendees include [[Bruce Webber|Bruce Webber]], TheRomp, Shaun Klein, Neil Eppstein, and Alex Martini. The group has been going in one form or another since March 2005.
*A Lojban group started at Grinnell College in Iowa, in October 2006.
*[[Jay Kominek|Jay Kominek]] is interested in starting one at the University of Colorado, let him know if you're in the area.
*[[Robin Lee Powell|Robin Lee Powell]] used to teach a class in the Silicon Valley area, in Northern California.  He'd be willing to do so again if enough people were interested. I know two people here that would attend, but I'd be interested in other jbopre joining.
*Anagram is interested in informally gathering for a workshop of beginners in the Bakersfield, California area. Try contacting him via irc.freenode.net. My registered nick is Anagram, you may leave me a memo via memoserv.
*[[User:tsali|Arnt Richard Johansen]] will teach anyone in 'Trondheim, NO' who is interested. Contact him at arj ATT nvg dot org.
*There has been talk of some of us Southern Californian jbopre getting together in Pomona monthly. More info at [[SoCalLojbanists|SoCalLojbanists]].
* For Aussies in and around Sydney, I ([[la .djunias.]]) am looking to start a Lojban club near Macquarie University. If you're interested, please contact me!
* In Hong Kong, I ([[sorpa'as plat]]) am trying to start the [http://www.facebook.com/groups/lojbanhk Hong Kong Lojbanist Group]. [http://www.facebook.com/groups/cuhkoil/ Open Innovation Lab] once helped us organized a Lojban meetup.
Here are some of the places known to have a high concentration of Lojbanists, or some influential Lojbanists:
* Fairfax, Virginia
* New York, New York
* California
===Mark yourself on the world map===
For now a Google map is used to mark Lojbanists' location on the planet to figure out where new clubs can be organized.

[https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zsu6INucCzOM.kxkof_dbS3ZY&msa=0&ll=47.195778%2C27.590103&spn=0.254281%2C0.676346 Don't be shy to mark your location on the planet].

==3. Festivals==
Organize conferences and festivals. The only annual festival by far is [[jbonunsla]].

== Less known places ==
The Lojban community has a vibrant and growing online presence. Only a portion of Lojban websites are listed here, as this community is growing and changing too fast to list them all.

This section contains a list of various forums in which people discuss Lojban or discuss in Lojban, in approximate order of popularity as far as the main community is aware.

===Learning websites===
[http://laxmahispajispaji.blogspot.com/ la laxma'i spaji spaji, the bilingual Lojban/English blog], can be helpful for learning both how various English idioms may be translated into Lojban, and how to use a wide range of Lojban cmavo (mainly in a narrative tone).

=== Mailing lists ===
Other than the primary mailing lists, the following special interest lists exist:
* [http://lojban.freeforums.net/ Lojban FreeForums]
* [http://groups.google.com/group/jbofanva jbofanva] is a mailing list for translation projects.
* http://lojban.livejournal.com/
* [http://groups.google.com/group/lojban-announcements/ The Lojban Announcements Mailing List] is for single posts on topics of general community interest.
All posts to this list are moderated, and all must include a description for where followup conversation should go. For example: "there are now Lojban flashcards on smart.fm; follow up discussion should go to the Beginners list" (but presumably with more detail).  This is ''NOT'' a discussion list.  The list does not set Reply-To, so you should set it to where you want followup discussion to go, if you know how.

The announcement list sends to just about every Lojban email list there is.  People can also subscribe to it directly, if they want to get announcements of general community interest but do not want to be on the main mailing lists.

Anything likely to be of interest to large segments of the Lojban community is on topic.  In particular, "I'm starting Lojbanic project X and need help/feedback" is what the list is primarily intended for.

===Microblogging===
As microblogging has become more popular among the internets as a whole, it's also started to be noticed in Lojbanistan. 
* [http://identi.ca identi.ca], sometimes known as '''la .aidentikar.''' There was a Lojban group called !lojban.
* Twitter Lojbanic posts on [http://twitter.com/ Twitter] are sometimes tagged #lojban, but it's also fun to [http://search.twitter.com/search?q=lojban search for Lojban without the #] to see what random strangers are saying about us!
* [http://reddit.com/r/lojban/ Reddit] has a page where Lojbanic news are often published.
* [http://lojban.shapado.com/ Shapado] website has a Lojban page.

====  Mailing List Archives ====

There are locally stored archives of a number of lists. Those lists are no longer updated.

In addition to this, for research purposes, there are as-complete-as-humanly-possible archives of all Google Groups lists stored as UNIX mail files on one of the lojban.org computers.  If you need access to them, [mailto:secretary@lojban.org mail the LLG secretary].

==== IRC Logs ====

[http://lojban.org/resources/irclog/ Public logs of the lojbanic portions of the IRC channel] are available. 

'''Note:''' the logs are filtered so that they contain only Lojbanic text. However, you might still be offended by the things discussed there. If you are, that's your problem, and the [[LLG|LLG]] explicitly disclaims responsibility for anything said on the IRC channel, including by members or officers of the [[LLG|LLG]].

Furthermore, no guarantee is made as to the correctness of the Lojban therein.

=== Lojbanic Websites ===
None of these sites are officially associated with the LLG in any way.
*http://jboselkei.lojban.org is an online game of translation from English to Lojban, featuring rating calculation for users. If you don't know how this or that is translated to Lojban, ask it in jboselkei, and as the game proceeds, expect to see one or even more translations of your 'post' made by jboselkei players, with comments. If you are an experienced lojbanist, you will always find a couple or more challenging 'tough nuts' awaiting your translation and promising rating points. jboselkei first appeared in Beta form in mid March 2006, and was upgraded for appearance and usability in November 2006. Playing in jboselkei is very exciting; you are welcome to join!
