Welcome. Plenty of empty bench spots. |

Johann Reisende (reisende04) |
thank you |
| 19:02 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Welcome to Q&A with the Deans. |
| 19:02 |
Carl Metropolitan |
The way this work is you ask us any questions you have about Caledon, Second Life, Oxbridge, or pretty much anything else, and we will do our best to help you . |
| 19:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(and, as it often turns out ... our knowledgeable audience) |
| 19:03 |
Carl Metropolitan |
So who wants to go first? |
| 19:04 |
Carl Metropolitan |
This format usually works best when there are questions. |
| 19:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You're centainly not going to let us get off this easily? |
| 19:05 |
Johann Reisende (reisende04) |
tell us about Oxbridge |
| 19:05 |
Larkylouz |
/me has no questions. This must be a first! |
| 19:05 |
Elicea Igaly |
Ehem |
| 19:05 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Oxbridge is a tutorial and help area run by Friends of Caledon Oxbridge. We have one of the best introduction to SL tutorials in Second Life, plus free classes. |
| 19:06 |
Carl Metropolitan |
We have been around for about four years now. An eternity in SL time :) |
| 19:06 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Good eve, Miss Maertens. |
| 19:06 |
Elicea Igaly |
Does Caledon have boat sDoes Caledon have sail boat slips available for rent? |
| 19:06 |
Carl Metropolitan |
We started as a LL-backed community gateway, but then LL decided that SL would work better with no new user orientation at all, so there was a parting of the ways with LL :) |
| 19:06 |
Gloriana Maertens |
Good e'en, Mr. Jarvinen! |
| 19:07 |
Carl Metropolitan |
We are supported by donations and volunteers. |
| 19:07 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Caledon has many boats--both air and sea. |
| 19:07 |
Elicea Igaly |
How does one find the location of boat slips available for rent? |
| 19:08 |
Carl Metropolitan |
There are no dedicated boat slips here, but any land on the water can be terraformed to be one. If you want to rent land that would be suitable for one contact Desmond Shang |
| 19:08 |
Larkylouz |
Caledon-on-Sea had slips available when I was there last night, I think. |
| 19:08 |
Renee Caxton |
There are a lot of places that you can freely rez a sailboat and sail all over Caledon. You just need to de-rez your vehicle when you are done. |
| 19:08 |
Elicea Igaly |

One note, he is going to be out of town until tuesday |
| 19:09 |
Larkylouz |

| 19:09 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Please go ahead. |
| 19:10 |
Larkylouz |
I read about Brigadoon, but it says it only shows up once every 100 years. How do I find out when it is in this world? |
| 19:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Often land will have auto-return on, so one has to be a member of the land group to avoid such returns. |
| 19:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It's announced in ISC. |
| 19:10 |
Carl Metropolitan |
It shows up randomly. When it does, people usually make note of it in ISC chat. |
| 19:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Independent State of Caledon gorup. |
| 19:11 |
Larkylouz |
Okay. HOpefully I will have more luck with that then the local train! LOL |
| 19:11 |
Larkylouz |
TY |
| 19:11 |
Johann Reisende (reisende04) |
Who or what is Brigadoon? |
| 19:11 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Brigadoon is a sim in Caledon. |
| 19:11 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Welcome ! |
| 19:11 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Come on in and have a seat |
| 19:11 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Please ask us questions, too! |
| 19:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And, a rustic village within the sim, that is only there every once in a while. |
| 19:12 |
Larkylouz |
I assume it is based on a well-known musical. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigadoon |
| 19:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
At other times, it is simply a grass covered valley. |
| 19:12 |
Carl Metropolitan |
But most of the sim is devoted to normal rentals in the Caledon theme |
| 19:13 |
Carl Metropolitan |
The vanishing village is usually just some very pretty parkland in most landowners backyards there. |
| 19:13 |
Carl Metropolitan |
How about another question? |
| 19:13 |
Johann Reisende (reisende04) |
thankyou |
| 19:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
With a couple of deer, a snake or two.... |
| 19:15 |
Johann Reisende (reisende04) |
is there a cycle of the classes given here? |
| 19:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Weekly |
| 19:15 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Yes. It is on schedule poster outside this hall |
| 19:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And inside on the right hand wall (as you face us) |
| 19:15 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Look on the "Caledon Oxbridge Community Bulletin Board" |
| 19:15 |
Johann Reisende (reisende04) |
so of I miss one in particular ican take it later? |
| 19:15 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Yes |
| 19:16 |
Johann Reisende (reisende04) |
ok |
| 19:16 |
Carl Metropolitan |
They are repeated weekly |
| 19:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If you touch the schedule, it will give you a notecard. |
| 19:16 |
Johann Reisende (reisende04) |
ok |
| 19:16 |
Carl Metropolitan |
They are also listed in the SL Events |
| 19:16 |
Larkylouz |
The Photo Salon on Saturday nights changes every week, as it is more of an ongoing workshop than a class. |
| 19:17 |
thx11138 |
ummm...this place is creepy |
| 19:17 |
Carl Metropolitan |
We also have to your right as you leave the lecture hall a poster called "Places to Learn" with a notecard containing links to other places offering free SL classes |
| 19:17 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Fortunately, Second Life is full of places that are not here. |
| 19:17 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I suppose Mr THX is off to find one :) |

/me has heard Caledon called many things, but not creepy |
| 19:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If he thinks a university is creepy ........ |
| 19:18 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Perhaps he joined after reading the spate of recent articles in the media about women wearing less clothing in Second Life than in Real Life (according to a Study, of course). |
| 19:19 |
Renee Caxton |
lol |
| 19:19 |
OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) |
Any suggestons on the best type of vendor to use to sell houseboats? |
| 19:19 |
Gloriana Maertens |
Oh, yes, of course, a "study". |
| 19:19 |
Carl Metropolitan |
He may have come here to Caledon and been shocked at the amount of flesh covered :) |
| 19:19 |
Johann Reisende (reisende04) |
hehe |
| 19:19 |
Renee Caxton |
The heels are certainly higher |
| 19:19 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Not a clue I am afraid. |
| 19:19 |
Elicea Igaly |
Oh! who has a houseboat for sale? |
| 19:19 |
Larkylouz |
heee |
| 19:19 |
OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) |
My wife makes lovely low prim ones |
| 19:20 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I would suggest that you make sure your houseboat is listed on SLMarketplace, as well as having an in-world vendor. |
| 19:20 |
Carl Metropolitan |
If she makes low-prim ones, perhaps you should look for a vendor that will rez them on command so people can look at them. |
| 19:20 |
OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) |
Looking for a type of inworld type of vendor |
| 19:20 |
Carl Metropolitan |
whispers: Again, I can't help much more than that, other than to suggest checking Search and SL Marketplace. |
| 19:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Trudeau tends to have some of their sailboards rezzed and some in a vendor that you can scroll through. |
| 19:21 |
OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) |
I serve as the procurement officer and business end |
| 19:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Sailboats, that is. |
| 19:21 |
OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) |
We have seen several |
| 19:21 |

| 19:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome, TechyGirl. |
| 19:22 |
OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) |
Thanks for that info Dean Jarvinen |
| 19:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Always worth a look how other's are handling such sales (and sails) |
| 19:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other questions on Oxbridge, the SL universe, and everything? |
| 19:24 |
OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) |
grins:) |
| 19:24 |
Johann Reisende (reisende04) |
is there a bottom in SL seas? |
| 19:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There is the land beneath the water level. |
| 19:25 |
Johann Reisende (reisende04) |
how deep can it be? |
| 19:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Water is 'generally' at 20m. The underwater land ranges from 0 up to that. |
| 19:25 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Yes, in that land can't be lowered under the 0 meter point. |
| 19:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A stand-alone sim can have a higher water level. |
| 19:25 |
Carl Metropolitan |
So all our seas are quite shallow. |
| 19:26 |
OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) |
Must be careful and watch for mermaids while fishing |
| 19:26 |
Larkylouz |
There are underwater sims that can be quite beautiful. I always check to be sure when I visit a new place. |
| 19:26 |
Johann Reisende (reisende04) |
is possible to buy or rent underwater land? |
| 19:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Maximum water height is 100m |
| 19:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes. |
| 19:26 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Also in many places (with the permission of the sim owner), you can rent land and lower it using terraform |
| 19:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
One could have an entire estate sim be beneath the water level. |
| 19:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Caledon Sound has underwater land with lost ruins |

Next question? |
| 19:29 |
Larkylouz |
Isn't there a Caledon (certainly it is Steampunk) sim with an underwater walkway like a large pipe? |
| 19:29 |

| 19:33 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Does anyone else have any questions for us tonight? Do we get to go clock out early? :) |
| 19:34 |
Larkylouz |
Tell us a story, please. How did Caledon come to be? |
| 19:34 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I don't know. You would have to ask Desmond Shang. |
| 19:34 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I know it started as one sim. What is now called "Caledon Prim" |
| 19:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Once, long ago, the eldar being of Linden Lab looked out..... They saw that the handling of those new to SL was not what it might be. |
| 19:35 |
Renee Caxton |
I heard that someone took pictures at the RL Oxford to make the textures for the buildings |
| 19:35 |
Carl Metropolitan |
And before Caledon, Desmond used to make and sell victorian furniture and houses as the "West Trade Imports" business. |
| 19:35 |
Larkylouz |
/me grins and settles in. |
| 19:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
One suggested, why don't we have gateways run by various communities in Second Life. |
| 19:35 |
Carl Metropolitan |
That is correct. The textures here in Oxbridge are based on some actual photographs taken for u s. |
| 19:36 |
Dilec |
well, was a pleasure met you all |
| 19:36 |
Dilec |
have a nice day or night |

Hello Lindal! |
| 19:38 |
Renee Caxton |
I forget. How long does the snow usually last in Caledon? |
| 19:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Depends how far north your are and how high up. |
| 19:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
In the lowlands of the south, spring comes early. |
| 19:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
In the mountains of Stormhold and Wellsian the snow lingers a bit longer. |
| 19:40 |
Larkylouz |
/me is hoping for a blizzard, and will volunteer to paint red arrows on the snow if needed! |
| 19:41 |
Carl Metropolitan |
but in general about six weeks. |
| 19:41 |
Lindal Kidd |
gentlemen, I don't have a question exactly...but I'd like to show and tell an item we should be aware of. |
| 19:41 |
Renee Caxton |
Hm. Well, I guess I am somewhere in the middle because the Cay is a bit north, but we are at sea level. |
| 19:41 |
OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) |

Ah. Yes. That was my thought, Professor Kidd. Thank you. |

You can do a search on nearby if you catch the name. |
