14:57 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hi teddy bear
14:57 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) Hello Andrea
14:57 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) Sorry If I am a little wet
14:58 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hello, Miss Teddy. The benches are water resistant. No problem.
14:58 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) Thank You
15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome to the Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting. All can attend.
15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne, do you have anything this week?
15:02 Phrynne I've had trouble logging in during the day, so I've mostly been here in the evening.
15:02 Phrynne Nothing big happening, just helping people in the plaza and at Oxbridge generally.
15:03 Phrynne It's been fairly busy most of the time, with returnees as well as newcomers.
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Any landscaping changes to note?
15:03 Phrynne none this week
15:03 Phrynne I am thinking of a few, for summer, but haven't found what Iwant yet.
15:04 Phrynne Different flowers, maybe some vines for the buildings.
15:04 Phrynne I'm looking for vines that more 3D than the textures I have.
15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen Wouldn't mind a vineyard..... but ....
15:04 Phrynne *that are
15:05 Phrynne Ivy, or something similar
15:05 Phrynne I don't think wild grapes would be a good idea.
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen Don't count on retexturing the actual buildings.
15:05 Phrynne I don't plan to
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) ooh maybe some of Nyrees man eating plants for the restricted areas?
15:06 Phrynne Hmm. That's a thought. But where to put them?
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) cliffs,
15:06 Phrynne hmm
15:06 Phrynne we have the chambered nautilus patrolling just above the cliffs
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) the drop zone for the ejectees
15:07 Phrynne if I put plants there it might look too attractive.
15:07 Phrynne And those man-eating plants might scare the sharks
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) True
15:07 RainyDayRecess :D
15:08 Phrynne So, it is an ongoing project.
15:08 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea?
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen And hello, Agatha.
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I've been off line or afk online a lot this week. I did have some folks asking about the patron program but nothing solid yet. The fundraiser should get back on track this week. I'm not planning to do it until RFL is over anyway.
15:10 Agatha Macbeth waves
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I do have a volunteer to make the freebies
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) and I need to speak tot he DJ
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen Oh good (on the volunteer)
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) If anyone needs it, I have a notecard onthe patron program
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) No Dane tuesday night
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Dance for Caledonain nights
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) That's about it for me
15:12 Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) Fidget (fidgetswidgets) gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway.

15:12 Peter from New York (peterfromnewyork) Hi Wordsmith and RainyDayRecess
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Might have something impromptu
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) maybve a night at the camp ground
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hi Peter. Welcome to Q&A
15:13 RainyDayRecess waves :)
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen That would work.
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen Rainy, anything on sponsors?
15:14 RainyDayRecess Just that I've gotten a bit more response now, things are going slowly right now, but picking up ;)
15:14 RainyDayRecess Suggestions would be appreciated
15:14 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) :-)
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen Uncle Enzo, perhaps.
15:15 RainyDayRecess Fidget mentioned maybe having more levels of patronage maybe,
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen Perhaps.
15:16 RainyDayRecess Some incentives might be nice, but not sure what?
15:16 RainyDayRecess So any ideas are welcome ;)
15:16 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Nods, We are going to discuss that a little further soon. See what can be done
15:17 RainyDayRecess K, thank you, that's all
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen When Carl responds to an email, we might have a few tags via the Student Union group.
15:17 RainyDayRecess Ooooooo
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thanks, Rainy.
15:17 RainyDayRecess That would be amazing
15:17 RainyDayRecess :)
15:18 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Oh the Memorial build for RFl and SL here in Caledon is done. It is a place to leave messages for those we have lost in SL and RL. A notecard is available on request on use and location. It is also a nice place to visit and just sit.
15:18 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Word?
15:19 Peter from New York (peterfromnewyork) What a great idea, Andrea!
15:19 Wordsmith Jarvinen Although it might give Dr. Who fans a twitch or two at first.
15:19 Agatha Macbeth twitches
15:19 RainyDayRecess :D
15:20 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) no tardises were used in the construction.
15:20 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've mostly been working on the SL14B exhibit this week.
15:20 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Those are not weeping angles
15:21 RainyDayRecess Very awesome game in there Word, great work
15:21 Peter from New York (peterfromnewyork) won't break eye contact with them just to play it safe
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've a couple of script 8x8 tile boards that exemplify the possibilities with patterns.
15:21 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) cool
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've received some Oxbridge photos from Tasha this morning. So mostly storybooking on Oxbridge and on patterns and tiling. Rainy has contributed some faux Carnivale clothing for the "clothesline".
15:23 RainyDayRecess Still working on that
15:24 Wordsmith Jarvinen We've claimed the parcel (Beguile 28 -- nice ring to it), but down the building shell and another tile pattern on the ground across the entire parcel.
15:24 Wordsmith Jarvinen We have through the 14th to get everything done.
15:25 RainyDayRecess Looks like we might make it ;)
15:25 Wordsmith Jarvinen We will. Ever with my being on travel the 7th and 8th.
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen This is being put together on the east coast of Southend. Feel free to visit and walk aground.
15:27 Averager Greetings, all
15:27 RainyDayRecess waves ;)
15:27 Wordsmith Jarvinen Greetings, Averager.
15:27 Wordsmith Jarvinen With that, lets open for questions in general.
15:28 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Oh, There will be a new dancing event in Mondrago this monday night from 6 to 7:30. That way folks can change outfits and go to Poppies Alley cats
15:28 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) here n caledon
15:30 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything happen if they didn't change outfits?
15:30 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) no not really
15:30 Phrynne You can wear what you want to Alley Cats (though adding ears and a tail is always proper)
15:31 Peter from New York (peterfromnewyork) Hi Phrynne!
15:31 Phrynne waves to Peter
15:31 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything else, today?
15:31 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) I will be scheduling a Photo Salon Field Trip to SL14B on June 21st – (Event Photography). I plan to land the students in the Oxbridge Build and let them go off and explore
15:32 RainyDayRecess That sounds like a great idea
15:32 Wordsmith Jarvinen Oh fun. See if they can get their pictures to "tell a story".
15:32 RainyDayRecess Lots of subject matter :D
15:33 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) I was actually asking the students to focus on "tourist mode"
15:33 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) Still the key will be dealing with lag
15:33 Phrynne Be sure to tell them to dress as simply as possible.
15:33 Phrynne It will make a difference.
15:34 Phrynne The Second Life birthday celebrations are always wonderful -- you can take the podcars to go all over the place to see things, get off and on as you wish.
15:34 Phrynne But they tend to lag
15:34 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) It would be nice if we could coordinate someone to "catch" the students as they land
15:35 Averager Hmm, so just classic-based outfit to have lowestmost complexity..?
15:35 Phrynne I would wear something like what I have on, with simpler hair.
15:35 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) I expect we will transfer over from the lecture hall @ 7:30 to 8 SLT on the 12st
15:36 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) sorry 21st
15:36 Wordsmith Jarvinen Sounds good
15:36 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) ty
15:37 Wordsmith Jarvinen And there's bound to be interesting things to see and interesting perspectives.
15:37 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) there is a wealth of photography opportunities
15:37 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) There is ussually a hunt
15:38 Wordsmith Jarvinen And lovejoy, I wouldn't be appalled to be called "past provost" ;)
15:38 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) Also - May I have a LM for the Caledon Build at SB14b?
15:38 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yes there is a hunt.
15:38 lovejoy2199 LOL...LOL
15:38 RainyDayRecess I heard about the Hunt
15:38 RainyDayRecess Is there a
15:38 RainyDayRecess is there a 'Hunt Kit' or something like that?
15:39 Phrynne There should be information on the hunt at the SL14B website
15:39 Wordsmith Jarvinen Look on the website.
15:39 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) last year you found "teddy bear" during the SL13b hunt
15:39 RainyDayRecess K ty
