Welcome to Q&A with the Deans. This is our weekly Q&A session for Caledon Oxbridge, where we keep you up to date on what's going on at Oxbridge and take your questions about Oxbridge, Caledon, and Second Life in General. Please have a seat and we will get started. |
| 15:04 |
Carl Metropolitan |
It is just myself and Phrynne representing the Deans tonight, so our part of this will be pretty quick. Phrynne, do you have anything to report from your area? |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
I have a sort of public service announcement |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
Oxbridge is getting a bit busier because we're coming into summertime |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
And when that happens, it can be hard for staff members on the plaza to know all of what's going on in Oxbridge. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
If someone is harassing you in IM, trying to pick you up, asking for money, saying rude or bigoted or uncomfortable things -- we will not know it unless you tell us. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
Please, if you are being bothered in IM, send an IM to whichever staff member is there, and let that person know what is going on, so they can take care of it. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
I realize I'm speaking to the choir here, because half of you *are* staff, but look for someone whose group tag says Oxbridge Dean, Oxbridge Professor, Oxbridge Tutor or Assistant Dean. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
And if you ask for help from someone and the person does not help you, please contact me directly. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
It is much easier to deal with trolls who harass people *while they're doing it* than half an hour later. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
that's all. |
| 15:08 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Do you think we might want to add that to the green text people see when they arrive for the first time, Phrynne? |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
That's possible. I am writing up a notecard that can be handed out -- I'll send you a copy. |
| 15:09 |
|
Phrynne has been here so often she no longer sees the first-time green print |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
though I wonder if it wouldn't just overwhelm people, along with all the other text around them. |
| 15:10 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Good point |
| 15:10 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Behind me you will see a graph (created weekly by Dean Emeritus Marion Questi) showing our first day and first week attendance. |
| 15:12 |
Carl Metropolitan |
You may notice a rise in traffic recently. That is in part due to summer, and in part due to the fact that Oxbridge has been put into the rotation of the "Hotspots" teleporter at Linden Lab's new Social Island. |
| 15:12 |
Jorge Serapis |
looks fairly consistent, ie not that many people dropping out after a while. |
| 15:12 |
|
Phoenixflames Kukulcan is online. |
| 15:13 |
Carl Metropolitan |
So while we should not assume this level fo traffic is going to last (because LL) , we should also be aware of it. |
| 15:13 |
тαℓıηα ℜoѕє (talina718) |
Linden Labs has a new Island |
| 15:13 |
тαℓıηα ℜoѕє (talina718) |
?? |
| 15:13 |
Phrynne |
They have three new Social Islands and a Gaming Island |
| 15:13 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Social Island is now part of (or an option in) Linden Lab's new user orientation process. |
| 15:14 |
тαℓıηα ℜoѕє (talina718) |
Are they able to be played by none premium accounts |
| 15:14 |
Carl Metropolitan |
There are some very nice things about it in terms of interactive tutorials, all of which I hope to steal the ideas for :) |
| 15:14 |
Phrynne |
Yes, as far as I know |
| 15:14 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
LOL. |
| 15:14 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Yes. They are part of the orientation process. |
| 15:15 |
Phrynne |
One difference between the new Social Islands and the old Help Island is that the freebies aren't free any more -- they're 50L at Social Islands |
| 15:15 |
тαℓıηα ℜoѕє (talina718) |
that was a silly question to ask sorry |
| 15:15 |
Phrynne |
but they're also not 10 years old. |
| 15:15 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Talina, I'm not aware of too many things that Premium people can do that Basic folks can't. |
| 15:16 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
I wouldn't worry about not having a Premium account. |
| 15:16 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Premium people get access to LL's trouble ticket support system, the ability to own land on LL's mainland continents (or to have a Linden Home), and a 300L$ per week stipend. |
| 15:17 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
And some nifty unbalance vehicle. At leas they used to |
| 15:17 |
Carl Metropolitan |
It was not a silly question. The whys and whims of Linden Lab (the owners of Second Life) are often not very easy to understand. |
| 15:18 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I guess since Phrynne and me are it for Deans today, we are going to move to the pure Q&A part of our program a bit early. So consider the floor open to questions. |
| 15:19 |
Jorge Serapis |
More of an FYI. Still waiting for Dean Lindal to pass me the files so I can start work on the translations for the foreign language kiosks. |
| 15:20 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Do you have her email? |
| 15:20 |
Jorge Serapis |
I don't beliueve so. If you wouldn't mind PMing it to me? |
| 15:21 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Sent |
| 15:21 |
Phrynne |
I'd like to mention that those will come in very handy when they are done, since at the moment we do not have General-rated help areas for people who speak either Spanish or Portuguese. |
| 15:21 |
Jorge Serapis |
Thank you, Señor Carl. |
| 15:21 |
JamesFannon |
May I ask please? Are there any tutors who are based in the EU? I am in Ireland and find it hard to go to some of the lectures |
| 15:22 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
alas i am based in eastern USA |
| 15:22 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
Ye, But they don't lecture. (nudges Elf) |
| 15:22 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Unfortunately not. |
| 15:23 |
Phrynne |
That would be a matter of scheduling classes -- finding professors to teach at different hours. |
| 15:23 |
Phrynne |
Anyone who is interested in teaching should contact Dean Wordsmith Jarvinen |
| 15:23 |
Jorge Serapis |
We have some possible teachers, but another factor is getting duplicates of the course materials. |
| 15:23 |
JamesFannon |
Ah yes I see. I would like to thank everyone here, you are all very helpful |
| 15:23 |
Batista Corleone (batistacorleone) |
What's a preferred Irish hour? |
| 15:23 |
Carl Metropolitan |
We wish we had the staff to have classes in all the time zones, but right now (and for the foreseeable future) we are not going to. But if you want to teach outside the current class schedule, please get in touch with Wordsmith |
| 15:23 |
JamesFannon |
This time is perfect |
| 15:24 |
JamesFannon |
And who needs sleep. SL is very addictive |
| 15:24 |
Batista Corleone (batistacorleone) |
Your pubs ae clod by now, in Ireland - sorry - had to make that joke |
| 15:24 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Some classes we "own". Some classes are owned by the teachers who created them, but some of those teachers will let other people teach their classes. |
| 15:24 |
Batista Corleone (batistacorleone) |
*closed |
| 15:24 |
JamesFannon |
lol |
| 15:24 |
Batista Corleone (batistacorleone) |
;o) |
| 15:25 |
Carl Metropolitan |
What time do the pubs close in Ireland? |
| 15:25 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
It's still working hours in W. US. |
| 15:25 |
Batista Corleone (batistacorleone) |
Funny bunch here - ;o) |
| 15:26 |
Holly (hollydeni) |
Its going to make me sad when this place fills up and I have to go away |
| 15:27 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
? |
| 15:27 |
Phrynne |
Holly, this is a full region -- it will hold many more than 20 people. |
| 15:27 |
Carl Metropolitan |
This sim can take 40 people. We are not in Caledon Oxbridge, but in the next door sim of Caledon Oxbridge Village |
| 15:27 |
Holly (hollydeni) |
you know the limit is reached |
| 15:27 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
that is why we meet here |
| 15:27 |
Carl Metropolitan |
That is why crowded events are held here. |
| 15:27 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Way up in the sky, too. |
| 15:27 |
Jorge Serapis |
Yes, Señor Thunderstone, but we also get quite a few EU residents visiting. It's be nice to have classes for them at a fairly reasonable time. Example: I'm here, and it's 11:30 pm GMT. |
| 15:28 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Jorge would make an excellent teacher (hint, hint) of many things in SL. |
| 15:28 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Past midnight here |
| 15:28 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
Agreed. Just have to find someone qualified and available. |
| 15:29 |
JamesFannon |
Is there a hall of residence here? I know we have a home set point, but to have a place to sleep and meet fellow scholars would be very good I think |
| 15:29 |
Jorge Serapis |
thank you, Señor Carl. My schedule is constntly shifting, so while I wouldn';t mind taking on a class, i couldn't guarantee a steady schedule for it. |
| 15:29 |
ⒻIᑎᑎ (finnstill) |
Well, I once set my alarm to attend the lovely Miss Kidd's shopping class! I guess being really keep helps, despite scheduled hours of class. |
| 15:29 |
Carl Metropolitan |
No there is not. We had that once back when we were a full sim, but we don't have the prims or avatar space for that anymore. |
| 15:30 |
Carl Metropolitan |
The best we can do is let you set home here. |
| 15:30 |
JamesFannon |
Ah ok, thank you Sir |
| 15:30 |
Carl Metropolitan |
And use the changing rooms. |
| 15:30 |
Carl Metropolitan |
There are rentals available in Caledon, but I think the minimum is about 600L$ a week for a small parcel. |
| 15:30 |
JamesFannon |
ooh |
| 15:30 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
475 L$ |
| 15:31 |
Phrynne |
the smallest parcels are about 475 L$, but they are few and far between |
| 15:31 |
Carl Metropolitan |
If you don't want to spend much money on some land for a home, try looking on the mainland. |
| 15:31 |
тαℓıηα ℜoѕє (talina718) |
how many prims per parcel |
| 15:31 |
Phrynne |
234 |
| 15:31 |
Phrynne |
234 prims |
| 15:31 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I would personally recommend Prokofy Neva's Ravenglass Rentals for mainland stuff, and I don't know enough about the private island rental business to recommend anyone. |
| 15:31 |
JamesFannon |
I think everything we need is here really, sandbox, changing room, home point. |
| 15:32 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
If you look further afield, and are persistant, you can rent homes for that or less. I'm currently paying L$200 for a small cabin. |
| 15:32 |
JamesFannon |
wow |
| 15:32 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
i bought a mainland parcel for about 2000L |
| 15:33 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Caledon is a "prestige" location. |
| 15:33 |
Phrynne |
it all depends on what you want, whether you want to build for yourself or rent space that is already built... |
| 15:33 |
Carl Metropolitan |
If you own (rather than rent) on the mainland, you have to be a Premium account. |
| 15:34 |
|
Frau Jo Yardley (jo.yardley) is offline. |
| 15:34 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
The thing I've found with rentals is that they vary immensely in cost and quality. You just have to shop around. |
| 15:35 |
Carl Metropolitan |
We also have a weekly class on land in SL taught by Lindal Kidd |
| 15:35 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I recommend that. |
| 15:35 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Next question? |
| 15:36 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
Rather late, even by my (EST) standerds. |
| 15:37 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Do we have any other questions? Comments? If not, we can all go home early :) |

oh I have one last question |
| 15:38 |
тαℓıηα ℜoѕє (talina718) |
that game that was a buzz the "newer" sl what ever happened with that |
| 15:38 |
Carl Metropolitan |
That is Project Sansar and is still in development by Linden Lab |
| 15:39 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Right now there is no firm date on when it will be open. "Late 2016" has been bandied about for beta testing, but we will see. |
| 15:39 |

But this platform won't be abbandoned will it |
| 15:40 |

not as far as I know |

This is their bread and butter. They'd be silly to. |

From what I have see, Sansar is designed for a different audience than Second Life. I have not heard anything about closing this. Besides, this is where they are making the money to pay for Sansar... |
| 15:42 |
Carl Metropolitan |
For example, we know from statements from LL CEO Ebbe Altberg that Sansar will be initially open to people from age 13+ and not support adult content. That's a huge change from SL right there. |

There is apparently lots of speculation around, none of it very plausible... |
| 15:42 |
тαℓıηα ℜoѕє (talina718) |
ahh ok |
| 15:43 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I am personally skeptical about sansar ever opening in any form similar to SL, but that's just me. |
| 15:43 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Next question? |
| 15:45 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Okay. If there are no other questions, I guess we can call this a night. Thank you all for coming. |
| 15:46 |
