Miss Gronk, the SL14B build does indeed incorporate the Caledon and Oxbridge Tartans. |
| 15:06 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, no report this week? |
| 15:06 |
Gronk Seriman |
Oh, great! |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
I've been spending most of my time in RL, looking for building contractors to fix a crack in a wall that leaks when it rains. And since it rains every day... |
| 15:07 |
Gronk Seriman |
Gah! |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
Lots of plastic pinned over the leak, and, hopefully, someone to fix it. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
soon. |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The SLURL for the SL14B build is Caledon SouthEnd (228,121,23) The building itself is done, put in the rest of the display is just beginning. |

Andrea, reports, announcements? |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Nothing much, I'm moving forward now on the patron program. I'll send out another notice this week on the Patron program. I did receive a few inquiries on the program last week. No takers as of yet. I am looking for a few creators to make something for the Bowling fund raiser. |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
We did have a patron that paid up for the year. |

As of checking yesterday, we hadn't seen any payments, on the sponsor boards, but Rainy has been out talking to people (e.g. Joyous Living in Port Babbage) recreating relationships. |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Appreciate those donations, Kara, Fidget, Holly. |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We're not in any financial crisis and working to make sure it stays that way, including ideas for "motivators". |
| 15:21 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
If you have the ability to do so. I need something made for the bowling fundraiser. Please contact me. |
| 15:21 |

Ran the weekly stats earlier this morning. Last week was a quieter week at Oxbridge. It was also finals week fro some. |
| 15:22 |
Gronk Seriman |
That kind of Motivator? |
| 15:22 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Makes note to check with her "family" connections |
| 15:22 |
Phrynne |
And graduation week for others. |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I was thinking that as I wrote it, Gronk. ;) |
| 15:23 |
Doc (doctorbarnstable) |
"Rocky, Vino, help the Judge find his checkbook." |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I think with that, we can open for questions. |

Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
*raises hand |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Cymbal? |
| 15:24 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
First off Andrea.. let me know what you need made for the fund raiser.. I am very busy right now but I can see what I can do |
| 15:24 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
For the bowling thing sorry |
| 15:25 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
Secondly..I wanted to announce that I am able to use my VR headset and get into SL |
| 15:25 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
And the buildings look awesome! |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Wow! |
| 15:26 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
But am learning how to model in VR and bring that stuff into SL which is very new stuff.. |
| 15:26 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
If anyone has an interest in that let me know |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Seminar? |
| 15:27 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
HI jules |
| 15:27 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
Yes something like that could be arranged |
| 15:27 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
It is kludgey still a bit but has quite a bit of potential |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm sure if on the schedule and into the SL event calendar we'd get interest. |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And have you tried Star's teacup ride with the headset? |
| 15:28 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
Not yet |
| 15:28 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
But I have been to a number or areas. and it is just fantastic!! |
| 15:28 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
Of course if a build is bad you will see that up front and personal |
| 15:29 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
I just wish that sansar project would get going |
| 15:29 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
Gah!! |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Oh, do try the hot air balloon ride through the Calas sims. It takes a bit of time, but should be fantastic. |
| 15:30 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
Yes! It is a completely natural view in VR and it looks fantastic here in SL |
| 15:30 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
A few tweaks of course are needed and I have a powerful computer setup |
| 15:30 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
But it does show that it can be done |
| 15:31 |
Charla (charla.vellhi) |
I get the impression that Sansar will not be like SL much at all, and will not be very interactive. I don't see it as "the next SL". It sounds like something completely different. |
| 15:31 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
Indeed. Well in the VR world.. and I will save this for anyone that is interested |
| 15:31 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
There are quite a few media programs happening right now to mimic sL but it doesn't come close |
| 15:31 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
But |
| 15:32 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
SL is simply great with VR so I am not sure what the issue is with lindens not supporting |
| 15:32 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
(( Hi Rainy )) |
| 15:33 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) shouts |
Hi Rainy |
| 15:33 |
Charla (charla.vellhi) |
Limited resources at LL and anything that competes with what Sansar is good for, probably doesn't get worked on for SL. Just business. |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The technology keeps evolving. It does sound like the building in Sansar will be much more "canned", as it was in the brief span of Blue Mars (create, submit, and wait for approval). |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything you wish to report or comment on, Rainy? |
| 15:35 |
RainyDayRecess |
Well, Andrea's Patron request got a little response |
| 15:35 |
RainyDayRecess |
It might be more appealing for some ;) |
| 15:35 |
RainyDayRecess |
That's all for now I think ;) |
| 15:35 |
Charla (charla.vellhi) |
On the first VR world I ever used -- which was entirely text-based (with scripting), the resource that was like land+prims was called "quota". At first, just the company granted quota. But then it moved to a hierarchical "Architecture Review Board" that would give you room/prims based on proposals or reputation. |
| 15:36 |
Charla (charla.vellhi) |
The ARB was elected users. |
| 15:36 |
Charla (charla.vellhi) |
So who knows how it will play out on Sansar, but they are definitely keeping a control on the quality. |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
True. |
| 15:37 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
Yeah I wonder if they are shooting themselves in the foot |
| 15:37 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
Facebook is already in VR |
| 15:37 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
for instance |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other questions? |
| 15:38 |
Charla (charla.vellhi) |
LOL. The entire time of SL has been "SL is dying, will be dead in xxx months". Now with Sansar we are already "It won't last for xxx". LOL. The future is rather unpredictable. |
| 15:39 |
Doc (doctorbarnstable) |
An unavoidable. |
| 15:39 |
Charla (charla.vellhi) |
Human nature :) |
| 15:39 |
Doc (doctorbarnstable) |
*And |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
SL has the appeal for those who want to learn to make things rather than coming in as experts. |
| 15:39 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Sansar may appeal to a different type of user |
| 15:40 |
Phrynne |
The more that Sansar cuts out creative people, the fewer inventive, interesting, creative people will want to be there. |
| 15:40 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
And the more we figure out how to make it work here |
| 15:40 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
hehe |
| 15:41 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
Some of us just make messes. ::looks at her sandbox ruefully:: |
| 15:41 |
Charla (charla.vellhi) |
Yes but they just need enough creative professionals to keep up with however many people (majority of their customer) want to experience Sansar. It's a totally opposite direction from Your world Your imagination. |
| 15:41 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
But ... there's always gummi worms. |
| 15:41 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:41 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
Yes love gummy worms but can't have the sugar |
| 15:41 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
yes but you may have to make them |
| 15:42 |
|
Charla (charla.vellhi) thinks the gummis in Sansar will be awesome. |
| 15:42 |
Jules Doghouse |
sugar free gummy worms are for the birds |
| 15:42 |
Phrynne |
not this bird |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Well, sounds like we can adjourn at this point. and carry on informally as desired. |
| 15:42 |
Charla (charla.vellhi) |
And regular ones are for the kitties? |
| 15:42 |
Phrynne |
gummy mice |
| 15:42 |
Phrynne |
suitable for cats and owls |
