But there is the bell, and welcome, friends and students alike to Oxbridge's general Q&A session. Where you can ask us questions about Oxbridge, Caledon, SL at large, or otherwise as long as they are generally appropriate. |

Katie (katie.canningham) entered chat range (18.45 m). |
| 15:05 |
Ember (emberell) |
Welcome, Katie |
| 15:05 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
Hi! Thankee! |
| 15:06 |
Ember (emberell) |
We just opened for questions, if you've any to ask ❤ |
| 15:06 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
Is there a fundraiser today? |

| 15:07 |
Ember (emberell) |
Yes, today at 4:00 |

Katie (katie.canningham) |
ossm! |
| 15:07 |
Gronk Seriman |
Not a question, just a mention. Oxbridge finally got on the Destinations Newcomer Friendly listings! |
| 15:07 |
Agatha Macbeth |
About time too |
| 15:07 |
Ember (emberell) |
Oh yes, Word had a stern talk with the Lindens and got them to post us on the page, finally |
| 15:07 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
huzzah! |
| 15:07 |
Ember (emberell) |
We've been enjoying increased traffic thanks to that |
| 15:08 |
lovejoy2199 |
Yeah Word !!! |
| 15:08 |
Ember (emberell) |
Andrea, do you have a LM for the salsa club? |
| 15:08 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
yes one sec |
| 15:08 |
Traise Enbie (otherplanedweller) |
Topic for discussion. I was at the half circle at the lecture hall and encountered a newcomer to SL who was bemoaning the nature of available clothing and its cost. Could there be a class like "Garb on a Student's Budget" or some such? |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
copy and paste is not working. let me know and I'll send you the LM |
| 15:09 |
Ember (emberell) |
We actually have a number of notecards of locations to shop for -free- clothing for newcomers |
| 15:09 |
Ember (emberell) |
All staff have a copy, and generally we help students figure out how to pursue, obtain, and wear them |
| 15:09 |
Traise Enbie (otherplanedweller) |
I would be interested in that LM |
| 15:10 |
Ember (emberell) |
I've sent you the most up to date notecard on freebies and other stuff. |
| 15:10 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Thanks Andrea |
| 15:10 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
welcome |
| 15:10 |
Ember (emberell) |
I keep that as well as many other handy bits of info in the faculty information kit. |
| 15:10 |
Ember (emberell) |
The Salsa club is here, Caledon SouthEnd (142,178,3501) for those who want to slide on over and dance with us after the Q&A |
| 15:11 |
lovejoy2199 |
Does the update list include 'mesh' clothing? |
| 15:11 |
Ember (emberell) |
The freebies list includes many examples of mesh clothing, yes. |
| 15:12 |
Ember (emberell) |
though the quality and options is often up to the whims of the creators |
| 15:12 |
lovejoy2199 |
mmmm...I wouldn't mine that list myself. |
| 15:12 |
Gronk Seriman |
Free clothes are actually quite plentiful in SL, if you know where to look. You can even rip off the clothes in many of the avatars in the Library folder in your Inventory. This sari I am wearing is an example. |
| 15:13 |
Traise Enbie (otherplanedweller) |
Does anybody (newcomer) even know of the built-in avatar collection in the Inventory and how to glean mix-and-match garb from it? (rhetorical question) |
| 15:13 |
Ember (emberell) |
It can be hard to find a -good- mesh outfit, as many of what's available is older style, or classic avatar in mind. |
| 15:13 |
Traise Enbie (otherplanedweller) |
Even as you were typing, Gronk, so was I |
| 15:13 |
Ember (emberell) |
But a lot of my own outfits were designed from freebies I've found over the years, favorite finds and such |
| 15:13 |
Ember (emberell) |
And yes, Gronk raises a good point -the library actually has a fair few examples of free mesh clothing, too. |
| 15:14 |
Ember (emberell) |
For those of you who may have missed my previous announcement on the quest, that is back online, too - and I've updated the hints staff give out to those following the hunt |
| 15:14 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
I was just reminded recently of "Fabulously Free in SL" |
| 15:15 |
Ember (emberell) |
https://fabfree.wordpress.com/ this, I believe, right? |
| 15:15 |
Traise Enbie (otherplanedweller) |
Identify the found objects here |
| 15:15 |
Ember (emberell) |
That's another *excellent* source of freebies, the various blogs and such that talk on them |
| 15:15 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
yes! |
| 15:15 |
Traise Enbie (otherplanedweller) |
This is my COU Scholarship Girl outfit |
| 15:16 |
Ember (emberell) |
That appears to be from the initial outfit "Morgan," from the library |
| 15:16 |
|
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) entered chat range (18.15 m). |
| 15:16 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Quite the improvement... |
| 15:16 |
Ember (emberell) |
Aside from the hat |
| 15:16 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Hello Kara |
| 15:16 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
nice! |
| 15:16 |
Ember (emberell) |
And the ferret :-) |
| 15:16 |
Ember (emberell) |
Welcome, Kara! |
| 15:16 |
Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) |
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 15:16 |
Ember (emberell) |
Thank you so much for your donation, Kara! |
| 15:17 |
Traise Enbie (otherplanedweller) |
and the ferret is from Petrol Sue, also in the inventory |
| 15:17 |
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) |
Hugs Agatha. |
| 15:17 |
Traise Enbie (otherplanedweller) |
The hat is from Lady Alice in the COU path |
| 15:18 |
Ember (emberell) |
the hair itself is the only thing not freely available, if I understand correctly |
| 15:18 |
Gronk Seriman |
Sounds like I need to go through my Library again. Most of the original mesh avatars SL gave were no mod. Looks like you can pick them apart now. |
| 15:18 |
Ember (emberell) |
Oh yes |
| 15:18 |
Ember (emberell) |
A lot of them can be taken piece by piece. some of them may be no mod, but many you can work to fit unique little outfits |
| 15:18 |
Ember (emberell) |
It's worth a deep dive. |
| 15:18 |
Traise Enbie (otherplanedweller) |
Reasonably close -- shoes are Cog & Fleur |
| 15:19 |
Traise Enbie (otherplanedweller) |
Nope they are Morgan's shes |
| 15:19 |
Ember (emberell) |
:-) |
| 15:20 |
Traise Enbie (otherplanedweller) |
Scholarship students are like Ron's attendance at Hogwarts compared with Harry's privileged attendance |
| 15:20 |
Ember (emberell) |
Do we have any other questions? ❤ |
| 15:22 |
Ember (emberell) |
Hearing nothing. Anyone? |
| 15:23 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
waves bye, see you all soon. thanks for coming. |
| 15:23 |
Ember (emberell) |
With no further questions raised, I believe today's session is adjourned. :-) |
| 15:23 |
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) |
Smiles brightly. |
| 15:23 |
Gronk Seriman |
Oh! I heard the latest Firestorm incorporates SL's new two-step authentication. But it seems the same as before. Should it? |
| 15:23 |
Traise Enbie (otherplanedweller) |
Thanks to all the COU staff! |
| 15:24 |
Phrynne |
I think that was a rumor going around. I have not seen a change. |
| 15:24 |
Ember (emberell) |
If you have two step auth on, it should prompt you (the first time) for your code. |
| 15:24 |
Gronk Seriman |
Ah. So I need to turn it on. |
| 15:24 |
Ember (emberell) |
IF it hasn't' done so, you should double check in your settings that your two-step authentication is enabled |
| 15:24 |
Ember (emberell) |
Yes - it's opt in only. |
| 15:24 |
Traise Enbie (otherplanedweller) |
Possibly a choice to make in preferences for each instance of the viewer |
| 15:25 |
Ember (emberell) |
I'll linger, of course, to catch questions as everyone files out ❤ |
