Phrynne |
Yes -- I've created a small conference center, under the Stained Glass Gazebo where the Advent Calendar was. It has a variety of chairs, all with different singles animations, and a side table with coffee and lemonade. So far I've seen people starting to use it, which is good |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
And that's all. |

ZHAO AO w/sexywalk |
Floating text has been removed! |
| 15:12 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Yes. People from VWBPE donated 1750L$ to Oxbridge via our coin there. I just put the last 750L$ in the coin here. The coin at VWBPE was set wrong (my fault) to send the money to my account. |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Carl? |
| 15:13 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Due to lots of RL work I could only attend the last day's sessions, so I missed most of it. |
| 15:13 |
Carl Metropolitan |
People did like our (recycled) display. |
| 15:13 |
Menta Black (mentadent) |
What is VWBPE, please? |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I was in the same boat -- right before U.S. taxes due. |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Virtual Word Best Practices in Education. |
| 15:14 |
Menta Black (mentadent) |
ohhh |

Kara2016 |
smiles brightly. |
| 15:15 |
Gronk Seriman |
Is that a strictly SL thing, or are other Virtual Worlds attending? |
| 15:15 |
Carl Metropolitan |
It is mostly held in SL |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I was on yesterday afternoon and managed to capture a transcription of a vocal session. |
| 15:16 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Some people report on stuff from other virtual worlds though. |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
But involves other virtual words. |
| 15:16 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Which session, Wordsmith? |

ZHAO AO w/sexywalk |
Floating text has been removed! |
| 15:18 |
Menta Black (mentadent) |
Why has "Floating text has been removed!"? |
| 15:18 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Oh. I saw that one on YouTube |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I haven't looked up the formal title, but part of it had to do with the disconnect between educators and tech savvy content creators. |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
and the need for collaboration between the two domains. |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything more, Carl? |
| 15:20 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Not really. |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |

| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It's okay, Carl. There are times we all have found ourselves in that place. |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A community works together to garner support. |

Carl Metropolitan |
I had a friend who was interested in doing something on mesh bodies, but I've been on so little I've lost touch. |
| 15:36 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I will see if I can find her again. |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm giving frequent tutors priority for classes, but will be putting out a general call to the faculty group. |
| 15:38 |
Gronk Seriman |
I keep pitching my Avatar Show ^ Tell class, but I 'm not sure I have the foritude to run it. |

Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) |
Agatha Macbeth gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |

| 15:39 |
Phrynne |

Phrynne |
Thank you, Andrea |
| 15:42 |
Gronk Seriman |
To the new people. This is not a fundraiser meeting. It's just that we are taking the oppotunity to contribute. |
| 15:43 |
Phrynne |
Does anyone else have a question? |
| 15:44 |
Carl Metropolitan |
A very good point, Phrynne. |
| 15:44 |
|
Phrynne wonders if she is too scary in human form and should go back to being a rabbit or cat |
| 15:45 |
Agatha Macbeth |
^.^ |

| 15:49 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea does a lot to support Oxbridge, including community building dances with some great music. Miss to your own detriment. (they also get some of the tutors away for a rest and recovery). |
| 15:50 |
Kara2016 |
yes, Andrea works hard. |
| 15:50 |
RainyDayRecess |
Yay for Andrea!! |
| 15:50 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |

| 15:50 |
|
Agatha Macbeth applauds |
| 15:50 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
her dances are fun too |
| 15:50 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
There is a sign on top of the Pub in the Village that is a nc giver. I try to keep it loaded with the Newest information |
| 15:50 |
Phrynne |
hurray for Andrea! |
| 15:50 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
whistles |
| 15:50 |
Gronk Seriman |
I have a fuzzy proposal. Somewhere off of the Path, a setup for impromptu classes. Kindava magician's tent or sideshow. |
| 15:50 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Everyone does their part |
| 15:50 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
sweet gronk |
| 15:51 |
Kara2016 |
sounds good, gronk. |
| 15:51 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
we need a clown on stilts |
| 15:51 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm quite open to seminars and things not weekly, Gronk. I just want to be able to get them on the schedule(s) and track them. |
| 15:52 |
Gronk Seriman |
It;s a place where you can hold impromptu classes. They just spring up. People can join as they like. |
| 15:53 |
Carl Metropolitan |
We used to have a circle of mushrooms around a campfire for stuff like that at an older version of Oxbridge. |
| 15:53 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Might be part of our faculty kit information on other places. |
| 15:53 |
Phrynne |
You could use the conference area -- I can always add more chairs |
| 15:53 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
well lets bring that back |
| 15:54 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Let's talk more about that. |

shees sorry |
| 15:55 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:55 |
Gronk Seriman |
Somebody asks about something. And you can say, "Well, let me show you...." |
| 15:56 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Sounds like something to look further into and to make Oxbridge more interactive. |
| 15:57 |
Gronk Seriman |
I suppose the Lecture Hall is open when it's not busy. But I'm thinking of a smaller space. |
| 15:57 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
keeps one eye on andrea |
| 15:58 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We have the atelier |
| 15:58 |
Gronk Seriman |
Going up to the Sandbox is an option. But you are Away. |
| 15:59 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne's Gazebo setup is also an options. |
| 15:59 |
Phrynne |
The Atelier has three-hour return, the same as the lecture hall. |
| 16:00 |
Gronk Seriman |
Oh, nice! |
| 16:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
For small enough matters, with Andrea's permission and no collisions, we might also do something things in the outside of the pub. Taking an idea from a RL effort called "A Pint of Science". |
| 16:02 |
Gronk Seriman |
I'm done. Just throwing the idea out there. |
| 16:02 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
shruggs. no problem |
| 16:02 |
Agatha Macbeth |
