00:00:00.250 --> 00:00:01.827
Hello everyone!
00:00:01.827 --> 00:00:03.897
This is Evildea, your god.
00:00:03.897 --> 00:00:06.146
And today I want to show you
00:00:06.146 --> 00:00:09.248
two new and very exciting projects
00:00:09.248 --> 00:00:10.938
that have been taking place recently
00:00:10.938 --> 00:00:11.838
in the world of Esperanto.
00:00:11.838 --> 00:00:14.447
But first, I have to ask you to forgive me,
00:00:14.447 --> 00:00:15.677
because I didn't present the
00:00:15.677 --> 00:00:18.227
first one earlier - in fact, it will
00:00:18.227 --> 00:00:19.407
take place tomorrow.
00:00:19.407 --> 00:00:21.937
And it is a large-scale meet-up
00:00:21.937 --> 00:00:24.608
which will happen mostly in the US,
00:00:24.608 --> 00:00:26.918
in some places in Canada,
00:00:26.918 --> 00:00:29.199
and also in Cuba.
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:31.729
But it's a very interesting event,
00:00:31.729 --> 00:00:34.527
it is a large-scale gathering,
00:00:34.527 --> 00:00:37.838
and it's just a huge number of meet-ups
00:00:37.838 --> 00:00:39.879
that are happening is a huge number
00:00:39.879 --> 00:00:41.389
of places at the same time, and all of
00:00:41.389 --> 00:00:42.948
the meetings, excuse me,
00:00:42.948 --> 00:00:44.959
are Esperanto meetings.
00:00:44.959 --> 00:00:47.518
So, just go to this website, it's
00:00:47.518 --> 00:00:49.618
Paralela Universo (Parallel Universe),
00:00:49.618 --> 00:00:52.027
search through the locations, find the
00:00:52.027 --> 00:00:55.028
closest one to you, and then go there
00:00:55.028 --> 00:00:57.769
and meet with other Esperantists.
00:00:57.769 --> 00:01:00.619
As you can see from this map, there are
00:01:00.619 --> 00:01:02.390
an enormous number of meet-ups that are
00:01:02.390 --> 00:01:05.371
taking place in US, unfortunately only in
00:01:05.371 --> 00:01:08.790
the US and other countries and states that
00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:12.450
are close to the US, but yes, it's a very
00:01:12.450 --> 00:01:15.521
interesting, new event, and I heard from
00:01:15.521 --> 00:01:18.651
some of the organisers of this event that
00:01:18.651 --> 00:01:22.191
they intend to set up the event again
00:01:22.191 --> 00:01:25.531
in the future if everything goes well.
00:01:25.531 --> 00:01:27.811
And the second thing, and for me the most
00:01:27.811 --> 00:01:31.041
exciting of the two, is the new
00:01:31.041 --> 00:01:32.872
app, Amikumu.
00:01:32.872 --> 00:01:36.093
Now, I have to say that it isn't yet ready,
00:01:36.093 --> 00:01:40.156
and it probably won't be ready until early
00:01:40.156 --> 00:01:43.125
next year. But I want to show you
00:01:43.125 --> 00:01:46.545
the Amikumu website and just read
00:01:46.545 --> 00:01:50.245
to you what it says, and say a few things,
00:01:50.245 --> 00:01:53.346
and then ask you about some things.
00:01:53.346 --> 00:01:54.692
So, Amikumu!
00:01:54.692 --> 00:01:56.956
- which means, for the beginners,
00:01:56.956 --> 00:01:58.545
"to get new friends" -
00:01:58.545 --> 00:02:02.895
will be an app to help you find and contact
00:02:02.895 --> 00:02:05.475
nearby Esperantists. For example,
00:02:05.475 --> 00:02:07.996
if you were in the city centre,
00:02:07.996 --> 00:02:10.346
and you were with your girlfriend,
00:02:10.346 --> 00:02:12.866
and she's in the cosmetics shop,
00:02:12.866 --> 00:02:15.086
and you have nothing to do,
00:02:15.086 --> 00:02:16.775
and you're just standing there outside
00:02:16.775 --> 00:02:18.665
the doors, waiting for her, because
00:02:18.665 --> 00:02:21.885
she's always in the cosmetics shop too long!
00:02:21.885 --> 00:02:24.985
You could just take out your mobile phone,
00:02:24.985 --> 00:02:27.687
open the Amikumu app, and search for
00:02:27.687 --> 00:02:30.598
other Esperantists who are nearby.
00:02:30.598 --> 00:02:33.727
For example, it would say "Chuck Smith
00:02:33.727 --> 00:02:36.817
is 200m away."
00:02:36.817 --> 00:02:38.296
You could say, "Oh, excellent!
00:02:38.296 --> 00:02:40.367
There's an Esperantist!" and then send
00:02:40.367 --> 00:02:42.947
him a message, he'd hear the message,
00:02:42.947 --> 00:02:45.474
then he'd read it, and contact you,
00:02:45.474 --> 00:02:47.758
and then you could just organise
00:02:47.758 --> 00:02:49.378
a meet-up between the two of you.
00:02:49.378 --> 00:02:51.867
So it's an app to help Esperantists
00:02:51.867 --> 00:02:54.837
find and contact each other.
00:02:54.837 --> 00:02:58.888
Now, I want to show this app to you now,
00:02:58.888 --> 00:03:01.327
because you can subscribe to our
00:03:01.327 --> 00:03:03.878
mailing list. And I say 'our' because
00:03:03.878 --> 00:03:06.309
I'm one of the founders of this app,
00:03:06.309 --> 00:03:08.928
one of the co-creators, I suppose.
00:03:08.928 --> 00:03:11.125
So just go to the website, the link is
00:03:11.125 --> 00:03:14.344
in the description, and type your email
00:03:14.344 --> 00:03:16.738
address. And then, when we have news,
00:03:16.738 --> 00:03:19.079
we'll send it to you. There's just some
00:03:19.079 --> 00:03:22.479
information there, and links to our
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:24.229
social websites.
00:03:24.229 --> 00:03:26.308
Now, I have to say that I'm showing this
00:03:26.308 --> 00:03:30.058
to you very early in the creation
00:03:30.058 --> 00:03:32.908
of this app. And almost nothing is ready,
00:03:32.908 --> 00:03:35.639
but I just want to show it to you, because
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.699
some of you have probably already heard
00:03:38.699 --> 00:03:41.141
rumours about this Amikumu app, and
00:03:41.141 --> 00:03:44.561
I suppose that I just want to show it to
00:03:44.561 --> 00:03:49.331
clarify the situation about it. And also,
00:03:49.331 --> 00:03:52.072
I have two other things that I want to
00:03:52.072 --> 00:03:54.142
show you related to the app.
00:03:54.142 --> 00:03:58.033
So, the first is here, some graphics,
00:03:58.033 --> 00:04:02.722
all of them are just sketches or graphics
00:04:02.722 --> 00:04:06.712
of possible logos. I need your help.
00:04:06.712 --> 00:04:09.332
In fact, we, the creators of Amikumu,
00:04:09.332 --> 00:04:12.614
namely me and Chuck Smith, need your help.
00:04:12.614 --> 00:04:16.064
Look at each of the logos and choose
00:04:16.064 --> 00:04:18.264
the best, or the most suitable,
00:04:18.264 --> 00:04:19.853
in your opinion.
00:04:19.853 --> 00:04:22.583
So, just write the number in the comments
00:04:22.583 --> 00:04:25.623
below, and say why you like it.
00:04:25.623 --> 00:04:28.373
And then we can have a better idea
00:04:28.373 --> 00:04:29.884
about what you like,
00:04:29.884 --> 00:04:33.395
what you, the future users of this app,
00:04:33.395 --> 00:04:36.556
like. And the second thing is that we
00:04:36.556 --> 00:04:39.166
intend to put together a fundraiser
00:04:39.166 --> 00:04:43.016
in the next month, I think the next month,
00:04:43.016 --> 00:04:45.416
you'll hear more information about that later
00:04:45.416 --> 00:04:48.897
in future videos. But I need your help
00:04:48.897 --> 00:04:50.947
again. So, of course
00:04:50.947 --> 00:04:53.167
when you start a fundraiser,
00:04:53.167 --> 00:04:56.085
you have to reward the people who give
00:04:56.085 --> 00:04:59.367
money to the fund. So, what do you believe
00:04:59.367 --> 00:05:04.207
would be a good reward for donors?
00:05:04.207 --> 00:05:07.028
Just say in the comments below, and
00:05:07.028 --> 00:05:09.789
of course I'll read everything, consider
00:05:09.789 --> 00:05:12.679
everything, and I suppose that's everything.
00:05:12.679 --> 00:05:15.049
There are lots of links in the description,
00:05:15.049 --> 00:05:18.648
to Paralela Universo and also to Amikumu.
00:05:18.648 --> 00:05:19.979
So, that's everything!
00:05:19.979 --> 00:05:22.260
If you like this video, like it,
00:05:22.260 --> 00:05:24.720
share it, subscribe to my channel if you
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:26.320
haven't yet subscribed, and I'll
00:05:26.320 --> 00:05:27.910
see you all in the next film.
00:05:27.910 --> 00:05:29.479
And if you're not there,
00:05:29.479 --> 00:05:31.528
I'll find you with Amikumu,
00:05:31.528 --> 00:05:34.439
and I'll hide outside your window
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:36.539
in the night, and when you finally
00:05:36.539 --> 00:05:40.030
go to sleep, I'll crawl into your room
00:05:40.030 --> 00:05:41.260
and attack you.
