Caledon Oxbridge Q&A for 2016-05-22

15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen Well, Brace, I think we be it for today.
15:04 Brace Coral much
15:04 Brace Coral thats ok. sometimes RL gets in the way and *I* can't make it
15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen Awww more likely.
15:04 Brace Coral so I understand
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anyway, Welcome all to the Oxbridge Deans' weekly Q&A.
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen You have anything to report on Brace? Activities, wishes, observations, .....
15:06 Brace Coral Well..
15:06 Brace Coral stares at the GORGEOUS giant Andrea
15:07 Brace Coral Let's just say that I'm slowly learning my duties...
15:07 Arabella Nemeth how long have you been a dean Brace?
15:07 Brace Coral and gathering information from various sources *points at Carl, Wordsmith, Andrea*
15:07 Brace Coral on how to best accomplish that.
15:08 Carl Metropolitan "Forgive me. I'm not feeling well this afternoon and am running late."
15:08 Brace Coral let's see... couple months?
15:08 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hi Carl..... we only do what we can.
15:08 Brace Coral my fundraiser is going well - once a month - 1st Weds of the month
15:08 Carl Metropolitan She however has been a leader in helping new people in Second Life for over a decade.
15:08 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) Yep, we do what we can, some of us are potted.
15:09 Brace Coral I founded the Help/Edu Org New Citizens Inc (NCI)
15:09 Brace Coral Helping New Folks is what I do :) worn many hats
15:09 Jorge Serapis (stage whispers) Every help are, NCI and orientation you run across in SL? Thank the lady up there. :_) She started it all.
15:10 Brace Coral you'll find that the majority of SL Basics classes can be traced back to NCI
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea reminds me of a sci-fi story. First earth ship to reach a colony on a lower gravity planet in generations. Has he approaches the planet over several days he chats up a nice lady on the planet. After he lands, he runs out of his ship to meet her ... and runs into her knees. Effects of lower gravity.
15:10 Brace Coral lol
15:10 Carl Metropolitan I like to claim partial credit for NCI :)
15:10 Brace Coral partial??
15:10 Brace Coral yall have NO idea
15:10 Brace Coral I had this dream.. and Carl turned into a reality so far beyond my wildest dreams!
15:11 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) grabs at wisps of ideas floating around to eventually get one of her own.
15:11 Cross-Sim Repeater End Now transmitting local chat.
15:11 Brace Coral ty Elf :)
15:11 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) :-)
15:12 Stacy Petite yes now its working i saw the smiley of mr elfbitter
15:12 Brace Coral hi Stacy :)
15:12 Stacy Petite hi i have to make it that way cause of my real age im not allowed to the sims where you all are
15:12 Wordsmith Jarvinen (Stacy is down in the main lecture hall).
15:12 Brace Coral she is indeed :)
15:13 Brace Coral sends her a *blowkiss*
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen Brace, anything new with HEQ?
15:13 Stacy Petite thanks usualy i say mr or miss but since i dont see every one avatar hard to say
15:14 Brace Coral The last thing we did, right before I took a brief sabbatical, was consolidate class/event schedule URLS
15:14 Brace Coral onto one notecard
15:14 Wordsmith Jarvinen Brace is a paradox, an on-the-mark Miss.
15:14 Brace Coral haz that if anyone wants...to be given out to new folks and those interested
15:14 Stacy Petite k
15:14 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) waves a new leave at Brace.
15:14 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) or leaf
15:14 Stacy Petite i could take one
15:14 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) dang typing leaves.
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen May the distribution of your leaves maximize your light collection! (bows)
15:15 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) **chortles**
15:15 Brace Coral hehehe
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen Carl, anything you have, SLBn, etc?
15:16 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) Dag-nabbit yer fast Vice Chancellor Jarvinen!
15:17 Brace Coral wants Carl's CHAIR
15:17 Stacy Petite hi miss holly
15:17 Holly hi are we late?
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen Has to do with Fibonacci numbers (leaf distribution)
15:17 Carl Metropolitan Not really other than that we have applied and will probable be accepted if the last six years are any indication.
15:17 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) pffff-fib--fffft!
15:18 Brace Coral awesome sauce!
15:18 Brace Coral SL is turning 13?
15:18 Stacy Petite sl is 13 yrs old wow i was little back then
15:18 Holly :)
15:19 Arabella Nemeth Are any of you involved in the new SL - the 3d one?
15:19 Wordsmith Jarvinen Uh oh. SL as an adolescent.
15:19 Holly wish I had joine years ago
15:19 lovejoy2199 A teenager.
15:19 Brace Coral turned 12 couple weeks ago
15:19 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) SL with pimples
15:19 Arabella Nemeth Will there be building there? or is that going to be gone
15:19 Brace Coral I'm still a tween!
15:19 Brace Coral YAAAAaaAaAAaYYYy
15:19 Holly a passy for me
15:19 Carl Metropolitan Only if you mean by "involved", you mean cynically sniping at the entire project from the sidelines :)
15:19 Holly I wet my pants still
15:20 Brace Coral grins at Carl :D
15:20 Arabella Nemeth I'm worried that the things I like best about SL will be gone
15:20 Brace Coral I just go there for the freebies
15:20 Brace Coral and CAKE
15:20 Arabella Nemeth hehehe
15:20 Holly brace llol
15:20 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) Long live cake!
15:20 Brace Coral huzzah!
15:20 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) well, our worrying won't affect it, and will only make us feel upset
15:20 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) or laganum.
15:20 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) let's eat some cake
15:21 Brace Coral it is fun to see everyone's builds
15:21 Brace Coral and they have good parties
15:21 Holly yes great parties
15:21 Stacy Petite im still new to secondlife
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen Things will change over time, but not necessarily quickly.
15:22 Stacy Petite like in real life i guess
15:22 Arabella Nemeth welcome Stacy!
15:22 Wordsmith Jarvinen Technology tends to move much faster than people.
15:22 Stacy Petite somestuff change but not as fast as i wish
15:22 Brace Coral nods as she waters Fidget
15:22 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) mmmm, water!
15:23 Holly um why cant I see you guys?
15:23 Carl Metropolitan SL2/Sansara will not replace SL. It will run in parallel to SL
15:23 Stacy Petite they are in another part of the sims where i cant go cause its g rated holly
15:23 Brace Coral we are in a Top Secret Location..
15:23 Stacy Petite lts me give you the land mark if you wanna see them
15:23 Holly lol oh
15:23 Carl Metropolitan From what I've seen it will not really be competition for SL at least not for a number of years.
15:23 Brace Coral (not really secret!)
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen Most of us are up in the alternate lecture hall over village.
15:23 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) **cheers for ElfBiter the ever Efficient**
15:24 Holly derrrr
15:24 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) :-)
15:24 Brace Coral what Carl says is very true
15:24 Wordsmith Jarvinen Stacy is constrained by age.
15:24 Stacy Petite she will probably go join you
15:24 Stacy Petite i jsut gaved her the land mark
15:24 Wordsmith Jarvinen Provides a little light for Fidget)
15:24 Stacy Petite yeah im only 16 in real so that why im restrained
15:25 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) basks in the new light. (hoping it's not a new word to look up)
15:25 Stacy Petite but i also understand that the restriction are there for my safty
15:25 Wordsmith Jarvinen And we are happy to have you joining in.
15:25 Brace Coral yep. You never know WHEN Carl will break out into The Forbidden Dance
15:25 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) :-P :-)
15:26 Brace Coral WINKS at Stacy ;)
15:26 Arabella Nemeth wants to see that dance
15:26 Stacy Petite giggle
15:26 Stacy Petite forbiddne dance hewwwwww
15:26 Stacy Petite lol
15:26 Stacy Petite oups forbiddne mean forbiden lol
15:26 Brace Coral I'm sooo gonna be bounced off the sim one of these days! lol
15:27 Carl Metropolitan The Tango is the "forbidden dance", right?
15:27 Brace Coral I believe so :)
15:27 Wordsmith Jarvinen Just to complete the reporting, I don't really have anything. Away at a conference last week, getting back to things Caledon.
15:27 Brace Coral or the Macarena - I forget which
15:27 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) ohhhh macarena!
15:28 Arabella Nemeth well done Brace!!!
15:28 Brace Coral Thank You!
15:28 Brace Coral Dancing is my forte both RL and SL :)
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen Although a good tango .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01WukohheHQ
15:29 Stacy Petite no way ill go watch that video lol
15:29 Wordsmith Jarvinen Open for questions, observations, announcements, btw.
15:29 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) cannot dance in RL
15:29 Brace Coral I MAY have done the Tango with Carl once or twice... but memory fails me
15:29 Brace Coral inspects her fingernails closely
15:29 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) Ummmm I have something i should announce
15:30 Wordsmith Jarvinen It's essentially safe for work (the tango).
15:30 Brace Coral leans forward, looking at Row
15:30 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) Just before the q&a, a woman named Datu came to the Square
15:30 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) and asked if she could film a part of a machinima she is doing, there
15:30 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) a scene for it
15:31 Brace Coral ooo!
15:31 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) i have the conversation on a notecard
15:31 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) i stuck my neck out and told her yes
15:31 Stacy Petite that lady seems realy nice by the way
15:31 Carl Metropolitan I have no objection in principle.
15:31 Brace Coral Welcome, Jules :)
15:31 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) well, it seemed okay to me in feeling
15:31 Jules Doghouse nods
15:31 Carl Metropolitan Go for it. If she starts filming porn, then you can throw her out :)
15:31 Jules Doghouse :)
15:31 Brace Coral ❇.¸¸.✯ Ғаiɳʈѕ Ɗгаɱаʈiᴄаllƴ ✯´¯`❇
15:31 Brace Coral ( º O º )
15:31 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) hehe okay
15:31 Jules Doghouse feels chest pains!
15:32 Brace Coral LMAO
15:32 Wordsmith Jarvinen Stipulate her "scenes" have to be G-rated.
15:32 Jules Doghouse dies!
15:32 Brace Coral I am signing up to be an extra in that film!
15:32 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) yes
15:32 Brace Coral history in the making
15:32 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) cleans his teeth with burning arrowhead
15:32 Brace Coral porno at COU
15:32 Brace Coral feels dizzy again
15:32 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) i put her on my friends list
15:33 Brace Coral good call Rowan :) if I may say so
15:33 Brace Coral Oxbridge is so beautiful- it should be a film location
15:33 Stacy Petite she is in mine too
15:33 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) well dancing naked midgets might increase attendance, is all i should say]
15:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen Brace is there a use fee or required acknowledgment (winks)?
15:33 Brace Coral I was about to say
15:33 Brace Coral but I'd have to consult with Carl first, I think
15:33 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Well, we have had dancing tinies un the plaza before...
15:33 Stacy Petite rowan but then i wont be allowed here anymore
15:33 Brace Coral bc I would charge for everything lol
15:33 Brace Coral it's how I roll
15:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen Before or after the ale?
15:34 Brace Coral luffs da tinies :D
15:34 Carl Metropolitan I would not charge for anything. Most people doing Machinimas in SL don't have much money.
15:34 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) yes indeed
15:34 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) i dabbled in that area in 2007
15:35 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) However, asking for a credit at to place ... that would be something that seems fair.
15:35 Arabella Nemeth Does Caledon have machinima classes or a machinima group>
15:35 Stacy Petite and im sure if she does a generic at the end she will mention a thanks to the caledonian for allowing filming here
15:35 Wordsmith Jarvinen It would.
15:35 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) I'm sure donations would be appreciated
15:35 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) i honestly forgot all about machinima until i talked to her
15:36 Carl Metropolitan Oxbridge does not. But there may be a group in the greater Caledon community. I would ask in the ISC chat.
15:36 Brace Coral nods
15:36 Wordsmith Jarvinen Just reaching people we haven't before. They see the place, and want to come here.
15:36 Brace Coral I think giving credit in the uhh credits is standard for most SL Machinima
15:37 Arabella Nemeth I used to be part of a machinima group. I enjoyed building sets. We did several films and then disbanded
15:37 Stacy Petite i know that if i asked a place for recordin a video like that i woudl thanks them for allowing it but i dont do video like that so i cant thanks palcest for allowing me lol
15:37 Brace Coral I played the role: Ima Newbie on a machinima way back when :)
15:37 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) Not everyone understands "giving credit" -- putting it in words in a text or communique is kinda helpful. Especially for folks who might forget, like me.
15:37 Brace Coral it was fun!
15:37 Brace Coral very true, Fidget. never hurts to Make Sure.
15:38 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) sticks a leave through her Swiss Cheese memory.
15:38 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) dag-nabbit. leaf already!
15:39 Brace Coral wow just checked. I still have the avatar they had me in. Says I received it in Aug 2005
15:39 Brace Coral wooo!
15:39 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) eep
15:39 Brace Coral IKR? lol
15:39 Jules Doghouse lets see it
15:39 Stacy Petite well at school when i do production and i use part of book in reserch or somthing we have to write our source so credit the first writer .
15:40 Brace Coral it might cause the asset server to explode, Jules ;)
15:40 Jules Doghouse shucks
15:40 Brace Coral I might have a pic tho..
15:40 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) i was just going to say.....
15:40 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) nods at Stacy.
15:41 Stacy Petite they tell us not doing so its stealing others work and takin credit for it
15:41 Stacy Petite and says its protected by laws
15:42 Wordsmith Jarvinen hmmmm Wonder if the altitude is getting us punch drunk. Down to a small enough crowd for now we could actually hold this down below next time.
15:42 Arabella Nemeth yes Stacy, in the US it is DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act) $50 per incident
15:42 Stacy Petite k
15:43 Arabella Nemeth also.. it is just the right thing to give others credit for their work
15:43 Carl Metropolitan This is the document that governs photos and video taken in SL. It is incorporated into the ToS by reference.
15:43 Carl Metropolitan http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Snapshot_and_machinima_policy
15:45 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) tucks the link safely into her notes
15:45 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) welcome to the headache of producing machinima
15:45 Stacy Petite yes i know mss arabella
15:45 Stacy Petite i hope its miss not mr lol
15:45 Stacy Petite if its mr theni m sorry
15:45 Brace Coral ty for the linky Carl :)
15:46 Arabella Nemeth smiles I'm a female avatar
15:46 Brace Coral very interesting
15:46 Stacy Petite k good thanks for confirming i tough you rname sound girlish but i could have been wrong lol and i try to stay polite with grown up
15:46 Wordsmith Jarvinen Any upcoming events Andrea?
15:47 Arabella Nemeth Lately I've been in the mood to create more things and it has gotten me interested in finally re-organizing my textures. Any suggestions on best categories to organize textures into?
15:47 Brace Coral I know folks that have a lot of textures use a Texture Organizer
15:47 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms2) were taking tues night off
15:47 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms2) no theme, or dj.
15:48 Stacy Petite brb bathroom
15:48 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) hopes that the WRiters Meeting stays in the Calendar this time...
15:48 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything in planning you need help with?
15:48 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms2) nope, just couln't reach poppy in time
15:48 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) There's a writer's meeting Elfbiter?
15:48 Wordsmith Jarvinen Every Thursday Fidget.
15:49 Arabella Nemeth what kind of writing?
15:49 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) Thursdays are bad fo rme ... but may I still have the time to put in my personal notes?
15:49 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) flicks the dang typos with a leaf.
15:49 Stacy Petite backback
15:50 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms2) Just a mention. If you have a group or activiy that needs a place to meet. I can't promise to help everyone, But we can talk about it.
15:50 Brace Coral Arabella - some are simple like this: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Textures-organizer-and-distribution-1622-textures/494125 Others more fancy, HUDs etc.
15:50 Carl Metropolitan I used this system: Metals, Brick & Stone, Plant & Nature, Leather & Furs, Ice & Snow, Wood, Walls, Carpet & Rugs, Books, Art, Tutorial Posters & Slides, Glass, and Clothing
15:50 Carl Metropolitan And sub folders under that by texture package or subtype
15:50 Wordsmith Jarvinen As to texture categorization, Clothes versus other objects could be a top level division.
15:50 Arabella Nemeth Thanks Carl
15:50 Jules Doghouse i just throw them in a big pile and depend on naming
15:50 Brace Coral mine textures are a mess - so sorting them like what Carl said would make things much easier
15:50 Jules Doghouse but i dont use textures much
15:51 Brace Coral grins at Jules
15:51 Brace Coral I just label them in ways I can remember - keywords
15:51 Brace Coral "Purple Cool Cloud"
15:51 Brace Coral lol
15:51 Wordsmith Jarvinen Like "Stuff"?
15:52 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) "Miscellaneous Folder 231"
15:52 Wordsmith Jarvinen or "Area 51".
15:52 Jules Doghouse sonnet6Reverie
15:52 Brace Coral rofllll
