Caledon Oxbridge Q&A for 2017-06-11

14:57 lovejoy2199 Provost Emeritus
14:57 Wordsmith Jarvinen Don't worry, Miss Gronk. No actual change in status.
14:59 Gronk Seriman It's just that I don't remember there ever being a Provost. Just tutors, Professors, Deans and Chancellor.
14:59 Phrynne Ember!
14:59 Ember Elliot (emberell) waves her tail at Phrynne, and the other lovely deans
15:00 Wordsmith Jarvinen Lovejoy had pointed out that a Vice Chancellor is often titled "Provost".
15:00 Gronk Seriman Ahhhh....
15:00 lovejoy2199 We do not, at a G rated sim, a chancellor of 'vice'.
15:00 Gronk Seriman Ha!
15:00 lovejoy2199 do not need
15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen Having become Chancellor, he noted wistfully, I believe, that he couldn't call me Provost anymore.
15:01 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Looks out over the crowd. Hello Ember,Lovejoy, Gronk, Holly, Caissa
15:02 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) rococos
15:02 Holly (hollydeni) hello andrea
15:02 lovejoy2199 Besides, if it was good enough foe Condi Rice and Stanford, it should be good enough for here.
15:02 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Greetings fellow deans
15:02 Gronk Seriman Hello, Andrea!
15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen Greetings, Andrea.
15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome all to this week's Oxbridge Deans' Q&A.. And my thanks to deans Phrynne and Andrea for allowing me to put the apostrophe after the "s" rather than before.
15:05 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) HI doc
15:05 Holly (hollydeni) hello Doc
15:06 Doc (doctorbarnstable) Hello Andrea.
15:06 Doc (doctorbarnstable) Hi Holly.
15:06 Phrynne brb
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Before handing off to Phrynne, I'll simply note that, while today's role tag is simply a nod to lovejoy, it also has greater implications. Carl came in long enough to make me owner of the COU Student Union group.
15:06 Doc (doctorbarnstable) Hello Phrynne, and Wordsmith.
15:06 lovejoy2199 Thank you.
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hello, Doc
15:07 Phrynne back
15:08 Wordsmith Jarvinen Got a report, Phrynne?
15:08 Phrynne I've been here and in RL (more RL this week still, with house repair matters). No big changes, just helping people in the plaza.
15:09 Wordsmith Jarvinen Seemed like a mostly quiet week.
15:09 Phrynne A lot of returnees, a lot of older avatars visiting.
15:09 Phrynne But no problems
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea?
15:10 Holly (hollydeni) ooOOOOOooooOOOOOOO
15:10 lovejoy2199 Nice
15:10 Holly (hollydeni) love it
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Still working on the patron program, should have some movement on that this week
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) the gazeebo is for the hunt item for slb14
15:11 Holly (hollydeni) wow
15:11 Gronk Seriman Very nice!
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Rainy called in that she was sick today, we plan on some movement on the sponsor board this week
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) The bowling fund raiser is set for the 19th at 6 if memeory serves
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) There may be a tournement of some sort along withthe bowling and dancing
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) There will be a plaque for those that come, and one for those that doante
15:13 Kara2016 Smiles brightly.
15:14 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) donate
15:14 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Been a really busy week, I've tied in with burn 2 to do a build there.
15:14 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) The COU will be mentioned inthe build somewhere
15:15 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) oh sorry, I should have said the 19th of August for the bowling fundraiser. We are waitng till after the RFL season
15:15 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) So plenty of time to refine the fundraiser event
15:15 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) and advertise it
15:16 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Sorry my thoughts were spread out this week
15:16 Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) Kara2016 gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway.
15:17 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Looks at Wordsmith
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen ty Kara, appreciated.
15:17 Kara2016 Smiles brightly.
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've been mostly focused on the SL14B build along with having two days of RL meetings in L.A. this week.
15:20 Wordsmith Jarvinen I have all the interactive display boards that I'd planned up and functioning. Now it's writing and combining writing with pictures that Tasha's been sending to me. Oh, and a couple more textures that Rainy sent to me for the "clothesline".
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen There's been a bit of a kerfluffle over Oxbridge building backups. I've yet to know exactly what Carl has and what will need to be recreated in mesh. The gods seem to be keeping this Provost Emeritus busy.
15:23 lovejoy2199 lol...lol
15:24 Phrynne They don't want you getting bored.
15:25 Wordsmith Jarvinen I did find that I had a "oxford" building texture that Carl had made available and discovered that it had 6075 separate colors in it.
15:26 Phrynne 6075???!!!
15:26 Kara2016 ouch.
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen 512x512 pixels leaves considerable room for 6075.
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've some Python tools for looking at and manipulating image properties.
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen So, open for questions.
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen (I haven't forgotten you Holly)
15:30 Gronk Seriman What is Carl's status? Has he ejected from Oxbridge, or might he orbit back as a friendly force?
15:32 Wordsmith Jarvinen As far as he's said, he has much to contend with in RL at this time. If or when he gets past trying times, he's certainly welcome back as a friendly force. When or whether that occurs, we simply don't know.
15:32 Gronk Seriman I understand.
15:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen Unlike when he disengaged from NCI, this wasn't an internal disagreement or split.
15:34 Gronk Seriman RL does trump SL in all cases.
15:35 Wordsmith Jarvinen Other questions?
15:37 Wordsmith Jarvinen Looks like we can adjourn (bangs metaphorical gavel on metaphorical table).
15:37 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thanks you all for coming.
15:37 Phrynne Thank you
15:37 Holly (hollydeni) clapping for the Deans
15:37 Ember Elliot (emberell) Thank you for coming, and for keeping us informed as always. Your hard work is appreciated
15:38 Gronk Seriman Thank you. Deans!
15:38 Wordsmith Jarvinen oh, I should mention that the implication of my nametag is that the Student Union group gives us tags for other uses.
15:38 Doc (doctorbarnstable) Thank you Phryyne, Andrea, Wordsmith.
15:39 Wordsmith Jarvinen tc all.
15:39 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) There will be a tagg for Patrons again
15:39 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) night, i'll be back on shortly
15:40 Gronk Seriman Andrea WILL HAVE the fanciest chair here!
