Gabe (gabrieliam) |
is it just me or are you sitting inside of that chair? |
| 14:53 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
I look okay from my POV? |
| 14:54 |
Garret Black (pantau) |
Just perfect sitting pose |

Gabe (gabrieliam) |

It's a few minutes until the hour. We'll give people a few more moments to arrive. |

Larky (larkylouz) |
Welcome, everyone, to another General Q&A. I'm Larky. I'll be moderating this meeting, along with Andrea. We'll do our best to answer all your questions related to anything Second Life, Oxbridge, etc. |
| 15:01 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Andrea, do you have announcements this week? |
| 15:01 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
Nope, I'm good. |
| 15:02 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
I've been out of pocket |
| 15:02 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
due o computer issues |
| 15:02 |
|
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) check his pockets for holes |
| 15:02 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
if you need me I'm this avatar for now |
| 15:02 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
the main one isn't getting IMs |
| 15:02 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
or they are days out of date |
| 15:02 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
back to you Larky |
| 15:03 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Okay. We will be starting a new Scripting class, taught by Sandy Burgess, on Mondays at noon, SLT. This is a beginning class, directed towards folks who can't make it to the classes later in the day. |
| 15:03 |
Gronk Seriman |
Woohoo, Sandy! |
| 15:03 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Sandy regretted she could not attend this Q&A |
| 15:04 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
In my prep for this meeting, I read that LL plans to announce 2-factor authentication tomorrow. There's a post linked on the Notion page if you want more details. |
| 15:04 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
thank you, Mr. Elfbiter. |
| 15:05 |
Jindikim |
I think she is a good teacher, she introduced me to the building principle and it was a great time one of my first experience in SL |
| 15:05 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
I've been off work all week, so I don't have much to report either. |
| 15:05 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
:^) |
| 15:05 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
How about announcements from the audience? Elfbiter? |
| 15:06 |
Gabe (gabrieliam) |
what is Notion page? |
| 15:06 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Still hosting the Writers' Meeting every Thursday 11:00 AM SLT |
| 15:07 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Notion is a productivity app that I'm obsessed with. I've set up a page for COU staff use. https://www.notion.so/caledonoxbridge/Second-Life-Resources-for-COU-Staff-e4afd11e4c0447158f8989cc4c083b96 |
| 15:07 |
Garret Black (pantau) |
.. and what is "2-factor authentication", please? |
| 15:08 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Like banks use? |
| 15:08 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
It's a security tactic used often across the web. Let me find a cogent description. |
| 15:08 |
|
Agatha Macbeth nods |
| 15:09 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-factor_authentication |
| 15:09 |
Gabe (gabrieliam) |
So all those folk with 36 alts now need to prove its all them? |
| 15:09 |
Gronk Seriman |
Heh! |
| 15:09 |
Gabe (gabrieliam) |
LOL |
| 15:09 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
LOL. Yep, probably need to really focus on those folks who have a zillion alts! |
| 15:09 |
Gabe (gabrieliam) |
I bet they hate it when that happens |
| 15:10 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Hopefully it will cut down on the phishers... |
| 15:10 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Any further announcements before I open the floor? |
| 15:10 |
Gabe (gabrieliam) |
Can there be a zillion alts? |
| 15:11 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
I believe that the limit is 5 alts to an email address. |
| 15:11 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
I have three and for good reasons. |
| 15:11 |
Gabe (gabrieliam) |
So people go get 36 emails |
| 15:11 |
Gabe (gabrieliam) |
SMH |
| 15:12 |
Gronk Seriman |
36 divided by 5. |
| 15:12 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Alt_account_policies#:~:text= Up to five accounts per household. No,accounts must adhere to all Second Life policies. |
| 15:12 |
Gabe (gabrieliam) |
I cant keep up with one account |
| 15:12 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
I expect most people have at least one or two alts, for whatever reason. My alt, Billie Friday, often sits on the main campus when I'm here, to keep an eye on things. |
| 15:13 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Hi Katie. Welcome |
| 15:13 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
The floor is open for questions. |
| 15:13 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
hi! |
| 15:13 |
Jindikim |
Do you know if the 2 factor authentication will be with email or phone number? |
| 15:13 |
Gabe (gabrieliam) |
oh did I jump the gun? My bad |
| 15:14 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
No worries, Gabe. Jindi, I don't know any more than what I told you. All I saw was an announcement that something would be announced to that effect tomorrow. |
| 15:15 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I wonder if it mainly concerns people with bank accounts |
| 15:15 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
https://modemworld.me/2021/09/18/2021-ccug-and-tpv-developer-meetings-week-37-summary/ |
| 15:15 |
Jindikim |
I was just wondering if I have to buy a SIM card for my alt :D |
| 15:15 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
that's the article I referenced |
| 15:15 |
Gabe (gabrieliam) |
so its a financial security double versification |
| 15:15 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Well, we don't know the details yet |
| 15:15 |
Gabe (gabrieliam) |
they should come up with a Per Person Verification |
| 15:16 |
lovejoy2199 |
Two questions: Have you heard from Ember? And how is she doing RL? |
| 15:16 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
It's quite common. Usually they want you to provide other means of accessing your account, in addition to your username and password. Generally, I've been given a choice, with phone numbers, login codes sent to email, a backup email address. |
| 15:16 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Etc |
| 15:16 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Ember was down there |
| 15:17 |
Gabe (gabrieliam) |
I just saw Ember |
| 15:17 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
She's online now. She hasn't shared details with me recently, but I know things are still tricky. |
| 15:17 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Moisture damage or something like that |
| 15:17 |
lovejoy2199 |
Glad to know she is back online. |
| 15:17 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
I've asked her if she wants to give an update. |
| 15:18 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
[15:18] Ember (emberell): I've been well. Getting back into things. I'll be putting up autumn decorations soon. |
| 15:18 |
Ember (emberell) |
Send my warmth! |
| 15:19 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
Ember, we wish you much wellness! |
| 15:19 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
I passed on your message, Katie |
| 15:19 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
Many thanks! |
| 15:19 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Further questions, comments? |
| 15:20 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Puns? |
| 15:20 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Yay |
| 15:20 |
|
Gronk Seriman smiles and waves to Ember. |
| 15:20 |
|
Agatha Macbeth waves back |
| 15:21 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Puns? Since when do we allow puns here?? |
| 15:21 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
Hiya! |
| 15:21 |
|
Phrynne waves |
| 15:21 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Deconstruction? I hope not... |
| 15:21 |
Jindikim |
is there a plan for a Halloween party :) |
| 15:21 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Hey Ember |
| 15:21 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
yes |
| 15:21 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
We do one every year |
| 15:21 |
Jindikim |
Hello Ember long time we haven't seen |
| 15:21 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
yay! |
| 15:22 |
Ember (emberell) |
Costumes are welcome. OR come as you are (as long as it's decent) |
| 15:22 |
Gabe (gabrieliam) |
Im never decent, even with clothes on I'm naked under them |
| 15:22 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Ember, any announcements from you? Or other updates? |
| 15:23 |
Jindikim |
Great I will prepare a costume too |
| 15:23 |
Ember (emberell) |
I'm a bit behind on paperwork, but I'm still taking tutor applications for anyone interested in joining the new-user help program. I'll be doing campus upkeep over the next few weeks. |
| 15:24 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Ember needs those broad shoulders to keep up the campus |
| 15:24 |
Jindikim |
What is the new user help program? |
| 15:24 |
Ember (emberell) |
Oh, just the folk who are on campus in an official capacity to help users new and old with questions |
| 15:24 |
Ember (emberell) |
Tutors & help staff |
| 15:24 |
Jindikim |
I see |
| 15:25 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
What does help staff do? |
| 15:25 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
While we don't have 24-hour coverage, tutors are really the lifeblood that keeps Oxbridge viable as a help area. |
| 15:26 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
And sometimes eject trolls |
| 15:26 |
Gronk Seriman |
Hang around the plaza exchanging witty banter and puns until somebody shows up that wants or needs help. |
| 15:26 |
Ember (emberell) |
Yes, tutors help keep an eye on the campus - reporting to me when anything suspicious happens, and teaching people not just Oxbridge's rules, but how to live and work in SL as a whole |
| 15:27 |
Ember (emberell) |
A lot of the time that looks more like friendly talking with folk though, or musing over odd mistakes made trying to find solutions. |
| 15:27 |
Ember (emberell) |
It makes a lot of difference to have an actual person to talk through a problem with |
| 15:28 |
Ember (emberell) |
(And tutors get a whole pile of resources to hand to students asking questions or wanting places to continue their learning, or... many other things.) |
| 15:29 |
Gronk Seriman |
To be honest, a surprising number of people who come to Oxbridge are not new. I call then Returners. People who left SL for many reasons, and are now returning. |
| 15:29 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
cool |
| 15:29 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Yes. |
| 15:30 |
Jindikim |
In case I am online and I can I would be happy to give some support. |
| 15:30 |
Ember (emberell) |
Yeah, we welcome users new and old to answer questions asked in the Oxbridge university group, or to just come join us on campus. |
| 15:30 |
lovejoy2199 |
brb...rl |
| 15:30 |
Ember (emberell) |
It makes a big difference |
| 15:31 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
The bottom chart behind me on the wall tracks the age of visitors to Oxbridge. Wordsmith keeps a lot of data on that sort of thing. There's information on caledonoxbridge.org, as well. |

Jindikim |
Sorry time has came for me to go to bed, I wish you all a good evening. |
| 15:32 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
C'night! |
| 15:32 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Any staff member can give you a job description and application to become a tutor. And it is true that we have several people who help on a more informal basis, as well. |
| 15:32 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Good night, Jindi |
| 15:33 |
Jindikim |
good night |
| 15:33 |
Gronk Seriman |
I got stuck with a Tutor badge because I hung around and helped too much. |
| 15:33 |
|
Gronk Seriman grins |
| 15:33 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Further questions about staffing? Or a new topic? |
| 15:34 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I was asked to become one. |
| 15:35 |
Larky (larkylouz) |

We are adjourned. Wordsmith will lead a Dean's Q&A next week at 3 pm. |
