Caledon Oxbridge General Q&A for 2020-03-22
| 15:07 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Thank you all for coming. |
| 15:07 | Larky (larkylouz) | Hi folks. Turns out Carl isn't able to be here. I expect those of us who are here can answer many questions if you have outstanding requests. That work for you, Andrea? |
| 15:07 | Kara2016 | Smiles brightly. |
| 15:08 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | sure |
| 15:08 | Larky (larkylouz) | Okay, fire away! :^) |
| 15:09 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | fire away |
| 15:09 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | first question? |
| 15:09 | Kara2016 | *raises hand* |
| 15:09 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Yes? |
| 15:10 | Kara2016 | Has there been an increase of traffic on SL? |
| 15:10 | Larky (larkylouz) | While you're typing, I want to address a message that was in the staff group. Phrynne was sick and made an error. Ayuda Virtual, the primary Spanish-language help area is still there and going strong. I believe she meant the Italian place was gone, not the Spanish one. Clarify with Phrynne if you have questions |
| 15:10 | Larky (larkylouz) | Mobs, Kara. |
| 15:10 | Kara2016 | giggles. |
| 15:10 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Last I heard, SL is many thousands over the usual traffic |
| 15:11 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | About 4000, apparently |
| 15:11 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | and the Lindens are operating remotely it seems |
| 15:11 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | to keep things going |
| 15:11 | Kara2016 | i hope the Internet servers do not overload. |
| 15:12 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | It should be able to handle the capacity |
| 15:12 | Larky (larkylouz) | Dean Questi sent out an announcement that indicated that COU had had a 350% increase in traffic in the last week. Unfortunately I can't find it. |
| 15:12 | Gronk Seriman | Wow! |
| 15:13 | Kaitlin (jkaitlin) | it's the only place we're allowed out among others |
| 15:13 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | from the dean Questi Newcomer traffic was up last week, the first week of the COVID-19 stand-down. The First Day traffic jumped 59% to 202 from 127, while the broader First Week traffic count climbed 60% to 305 from 190 the prior week. |
| 15:13 | Larky (larkylouz) | I also read that Linden Labs is well set up for their workers working remotely. Of course, that doesn't mean that the Internet itself will be able to cope. |
| 15:13 | Larky (larkylouz) | Oops, I was way off on those numbers. Thanks, Andrea. |
| 15:13 | Larky (larkylouz) | <-- Should never be trusted around numbers |
| 15:13 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Also from the Dean. Caledon Quest: We dispensed 11 logbooks, 2 reached the second waypoint and 1 finished. This was the 1000th person to complete the Quest since it opened in July 2011. |
| 15:14 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Hi Phrynne |
| 15:14 | Soup Jonson | Strawberry Linden hosts a show and said they were working from home on that show today |
| 15:14 | Phrynne waves to everyone | |

| 15:14 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | As people were already here |
| 15:15 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | any other questions? |

| 15:15 | Phrynne | An announcement -- the last Tea Dance at the Bashful Peacock has been moved to next Sunday, the 29th, from 3-5 pm SLT. |
| 15:16 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | May i share that in the ISC? |
| 15:16 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | or can you do it? |
