Caledon Oxbridge Q&A for 2017-10-22
| 15:01 | Phrynne | Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Caledon Oxbridge Deans' Q&A for October 22, 2017. Everyone is welcome to attend except those who show by their behavior that they are not. We will have reports first and then open the floor for questions, and I hope for answers, since Chancellor Wordsmith is not available. But I will try to answer them first if possible, and then ask for knowledgeable people in the audience. |
| 15:01 | Phrynne | First, reports. Andrea, do you have anything? |
| 15:02 | Andrea Jones | The COu Halloween buuild is still up and is having visitors. |

| 15:08 | Agatha Macbeth | to see what's going where |

| 15:09 | Agatha Macbeth | Thanks |
| 15:09 | Phrynne | RainyDay? Anything? |
| 15:09 | RainyDayRecess | Nothing from me this week ;) |
| 15:09 | Phrynne | ok |
| 15:10 | Phrynne | In terms of Commons, I've added some ground fog in the small cemeteries on campus, and have started planning for November and December decorations. December is easy -- all those seasonal holidays -- but November's a bit difficult. |
| 15:11 | Agatha Macbeth | 0.0 |
| 15:11 | Phrynne | If anyone has any idea where I can find an animated turkey that does not explode or try to kill other people, please let me know. |
| 15:11 | Jorge Serapis | Where`s the fun in that..? |
| 15:11 | Gronk Seriman | 'sploding turkeys. That's all you need. |
| 15:11 | Agatha MacbethAgatha Macbeth knows of exploding chickens | |
| 15:11 | RainyDayRecess | Hehee |
| 15:11 | Jorge Serapis | Preach! |
| 15:11 | Huffelgump | xD...i killed a dog before |
| 15:11 | Phrynne | I'd just like one to walk around and cluck at people |
| 15:11 | Andrea Jones | jian maybe |
| 15:12 | Jorge Serapis | I once murdered a sentence. |
| 15:12 | Phrynne | Other than that, we're in good shape. |
| 15:12 | Jorge Serapis | Left its particle dangling, i did.. |
| 15:12 | RainyDayRecess | :D |
| 15:12 | star | lol |
| 15:12 | Agatha Macbeth | To boldly split an infinitive |
| 15:12 | Phrynne | And no, we are not going to kill anyone at Oxbridge, other than a participial phrase, since Oxbridge is a General region. |
| 15:12 | Phrynne | And now, open for questions |
| 15:12 | Phrynne | from the audience |
| 15:12 | starstar (astarynite) raises her hand | |
| 15:13 | Jorge Serapis | *raises hand* |
| 15:13 | Phrynne | Star? |
| 15:13 | star | My haunted Area "Star's Harrowing Haunts" was visited by a Linden and is now in the Destination Guide and also in the sub category under Haunted. |
| 15:13 | Agatha Macbeth | Woot |

| 15:13 | Phrynne | Jorge? |
| 15:14 | star | The COU Coin is also there as well as a Gacha machine with all proceeds going to COU. |
| 15:14 | Jorge Serapis | What`s the capital of Sweden? |
| 15:14 | RainyDayRecess | Is that the one on the ad boards? |
| 15:14 | Huffelgump | stockholm |
| 15:14 | Jorge Serapis | Ok, thanks! |
| 15:14 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- | Stockholm |
| 15:14 | star | yes Rainy, you can also click an ad board for information in front of the lecture hall |
| 15:14 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- | I have a comment |
| 15:14 | star | and thank you Rainy for the pictures |
| 15:14 | Jorge Serapis | *surrepititiously fills in his crossword* |
| 15:14 | Phrynne | Yes, Teddy Bear? |
| 15:15 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- | Everything is set in place for the special Photo Salon class on Wednesday, October 25th at 7 SLT “Event Photography – Tour of Haunted Houses” |
| 15:15 | Phrynne | very cool |
| 15:15 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- | The advertising posted on Facebook today has been well received |
| 15:15 | Phrynne | excellent! |
| 15:15 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- | Our Tour Begins at Star's Haunted Domains |
| 15:15 | star | yay! |
| 15:16 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- | Star’s may you attend class and help me guide the students through your Haunted House? |
| 15:16 | star | of course |
| 15:16 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- | The number of attendees may force us to hold Photo Salon here at the Alternative Lecture Hall |
| 15:16 | star | Phrynne, what is the earliest I can decorate the lecture hall for the class? |
| 15:16 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- | Good Question, I would like to start my postings also |
| 15:17 | Phrynne | Which one? |
| 15:17 | star | I guess on ground level |
| 15:17 | star | that is where the class will be unless it overflows |
| 15:17 | star | or I can decorate both |
| 15:17 | Phrynne | Downstairs, the mainlecture hall, anything that is rezzed by a professor is there until it's unrezzed; anything rezzed by a non group member is there for 3 hours max. |
| 15:17 | star | ok |
| 15:18 | star | thank you |
| 15:18 | RainyDayRecessRainyDayRecess raises hand | |
| 15:18 | Phrynne | I think it is the same here . HOWEVER, the group for the Alt. Lecture Hall is COUG, the student group, not COU, the professors group. |
| 15:18 | Phrynne | You may want to send an IM to Word to check; he should return in a day or so |
| 15:18 | Phrynne | Rainy? |
| 15:19 | star | ok |
| 15:19 | star | thank you Phrynne |
| 15:19 | RainyDayRecess | Can I say something about the horse and carriage or is this a bad time? |
| 15:19 | Phrynne | Please, go ahead |
| 15:19 | Elfbiter SkysmithElfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) raises copper eyebrow | |
| 15:19 | RainyDayRecess | I just wanted to mention something about the horse and carriage, since Word is buried with responsibilities and was supposed to also work on the scripting for them, he found a new LL viewer that's coming soon which allows animating of mesh just like an avatar, it's called Animesh ;) here's the link... https://community.secondlife.com/blogs/entry/2258-join-the-project-animesh-beta-new-support-for-animating-mesh-objects/ |
| 15:20 | RainyDayRecess | that's all ;) |
| 15:20 | RainyDayRecess | It's still Beta though |
| 15:21 | Phrynne | Gronk? |
| 15:21 | Agatha Macbeth | Interesting |
| 15:21 | RainyDayRecess | I thought so too! |
| 15:21 | RainyDayRecess | Very exciting ;) |
| 15:21 | Gronk Seriman | Oh, wow! LL isn't all concentrated on Sansar? Nice! |
| 15:22 | RainyDayRecess | So instead of being is 'Pieces' it can look just like an avi ;) |
| 15:22 | RainyDayRecess | *in |
| 15:22 | Phrynne | Yes, it's good to know that we are still getting improvements from Linden Labs. |
| 15:22 | Phrynne | Any more questions? Jorge? |
| 15:22 | Jorge Serapis | LL has often stated once Sansar is up and running, it will refocus on improvements for sl. |
| 15:23 | Jorge Serapis | As for me, it`s good to be able to spend a bit more time inworld... |
| 15:23 | RainyDayRecess | It's great to have you here ;) |

| 15:25 | Phrynne | It is open to everyone -- and there is a new gift or two each day. |
| 15:25 | Phrynne | Agatha Macbeth is organizing it this year. |
| 15:25 | Agatha MacbethAgatha Macbeth beams brightly | |

| 15:26 | Phrynne | Gronk? |
| 15:26 | Gronk Seriman | Last year's Advent Calendar included a house, and all the furnishings. There was even a friendly competition to make a household from the gifts. |
| 15:27 | Agatha MacbethAgatha Macbeth remembers it well | |
| 15:27 | Phrynne | Some of those were amazing |
| 15:27 | star | and a turret which some peopke decorated with the gifts |
| 15:27 | Jorge Serapis | Yes, the theme for the Calendar was "Home". |
| 15:27 | HuffelgumpHuffelgump if there is a hous then it must be a land to put it on | |
| 15:28 | star | what is the theme this year? |
| 15:28 | RainyDayRecess | Holidays? |
| 15:28 | Agatha Macbeth | Yes |
| 15:28 | Phrynne | Huffelgump, people rent land or buy land to put their houses on. |
| 15:28 | Huffelgump | ok |
| 15:28 | Agatha Macbeth | Would be hard to put land in a box... |
| 15:29 | RainyDayRecess | ;) |
| 15:29 | Huffelgump | yeah of course |
