Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome to the Oxbridge Deans' weekly Q&A. This meeting is open to all except those rare times when behavior requires otherwise. Transcripts of the meeting will be posted. |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, do you have anything for this week? |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
I have started decorating for the Advent and year-end holiday season. |
| 15:04 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Yay |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
We'll have more decorations as we get more snow -- somehow, snowmen look a bit sad without it. |
| 15:04 |
Agatha Macbeth |
They do |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It's not cool to put them out too early. |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
If you see me working on decorating, please let me just do it. I am asking because I have found that every single archway in Oxbridge is a different size -- and every garland has to be individually adjusted and measured. |
| 15:05 |
|
Agatha Macbeth ponders uncool snowmen |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
And, unfortunately, I was in enough of a hurry taking them down last year that they are not labeled with the names of which buildings they were on. |
| 15:05 |
Welleth |
is this meeting "chat only"? |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes. |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
So that's under way. We have the ice rink up, and a bench, and a kiosk-sign next to it with free skates and AOs |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
And more things will come. Stay tuned. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
And there's the Advent Calendar, starting on Dec. 1 and running through the 24th, that the very able Agatha Macbeth is running this year. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
and I will stop there. |
| 15:06 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any plant changes? |
| 15:06 |
Welleth |
who do we address questions to? |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
Some -- I'm switching trees to winter, of course, but I haven't figured out all of the winter-related decorations. |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The three of us, after we do our activity reports |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
It's a work in progress. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
And that's it for me. |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thanks, Phrynne. |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea, have anything? |
| 15:08 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I have been offline since Thursday for the most part. |
| 15:08 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Aww |
| 15:08 |
Kara2016 |
Hugs Andrea. |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Looking at the 16th of Dec for the winter fundraiser |
| 15:09 |
Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) |
Kara2016 gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I need to check the appropriate calenders |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
What day of the week? |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
sorry my key board is messing up. |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
that is a sat |
| 15:10 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The theme will be winter wonderland |
| 15:11 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I'll be contacting folks soon that may may want to be involved |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Sounds good. And I can unmess things when I process the transcripts, as long as it's interpretable. |
| 15:11 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I just whacked on it some. It's better |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(smiles) |
| 15:12 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The new patron program should be out soon. Just putting the finishing touches on it. |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
other than that. not much else |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you. |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Rainy, anything on your projects? |
| 15:13 |
RainyDayRecess |
Almost done with the pins, they will come with instructions on how to change the textures and even UV maps to make your own textures ;) |
| 15:13 |
RainyDayRecess |
I still need to get with Andrea on what levels for which pins |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
These are sponsor / patron perks? |
| 15:13 |
RainyDayRecess |
Yes |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thanks. |
| 15:14 |
RainyDayRecess |
And also the new $1,000L level |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Right. |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Agatha? |
| 15:15 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Yes |
| 15:15 |
Agatha Macbeth |
All going well sir |
| 15:16 |
Agatha Macbeth |
The thingy is lad out ready for me to put the boxes on |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Do you have 24 days worth? (advent calendar) |
| 15:16 |
Agatha Macbeth |
laid* |
| 15:16 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Oh certainly |
| 15:16 |
Agatha Macbeth |
But still accepting late offers |
| 15:17 |
RainyDayRecess |
Can't believe it's already here! |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Great. |
| 15:17 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Well it's not yet :p |
| 15:18 |
RainyDayRecess |
Time did fly by |
| 15:18 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Tempus fugit |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I don't have much. A balloon that Star and I put together to Agatha. |
| 15:19 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Woot |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A patchy snow on grass texture that I did for my parcel in Stormhold, but that is available. |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
and the rest has been RL scripting related to conferences. |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(just chat Welleth) |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
With that, open for questions and comments. |
| 15:22 |
Welleth |
ok here comes the question..... do professors and tutors get paid in this university and if so how much do they earn approximately? |
| 15:22 |
Gronk Seriman |
Welleth, the chat transcript will be published on the Caledon Oxbridge University website. Unfortunately, voice chat would obviously now show up for that. |
| 15:24 |
lovejoy2199 |
brb...RL |
| 15:24 |
RainyDayRecess |
K Lovejoy ;) |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Professors get a stipend of 250 $L per class. Tutors and Deans are volunteers, although I will give tutors who spend a fair amount of time helping a place on the ad panels downstairs. |
| 15:25 |
Welleth |
Are you in charge of the university? |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The split in expenditures is about 74,750 $L per 13 weeks on tier and instructor stipends bringing things up to about 107k $L per quarter. |
| 15:27 |
Menta Black (mentadent) |
That Welleth guy is quite a smart ass - LOL |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I am what's equivalent to being chair of a board of directors for Oxbridge, the other deans being the other board members. |

One on the wall :) |
| 15:28 |
Phrynne |
Welleth, it is on the wall to your right. |
| 15:29 |
Welleth |
oh! thanks m8 |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
As a schedule. Here's the class catalog. http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/classes/catalog.php |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other questions? |
| 15:31 |
Gronk Seriman |
Do we have any stable places to send Spanish and Portuguese people for help? |
| 15:32 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Or French.... |
| 15:32 |
Menta Black (mentadent) |
Russian? |
| 15:32 |
Phrynne |
Portuguese-speaking avatars can go to Ajuda SL Brasil, which is stable. |
| 15:33 |
Phrynne |
The Spanish sites that we have are what is there. If you have avatars over 18, the best place to send them is the Universidad St.Martin, which has expanded its tutorial. |
| 15:33 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I've sent Russian so virtual Kreml. |
| 15:34 |
Phrynne |
Unfortunately, the Universidad is on Moderate land -- but the tutorial is very good. |
| 15:34 |
Phrynne |
Work is continuing on translating our own tutorial into French and Spanish. |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I recently was contacted by the person managing Ajuda SL Brasil who wants to collaborate on serving our "clientele" |
| 15:34 |
Welleth |
is this university funded only by donations? |
| 15:34 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
One Ajuda volunteer visited couple of days ago. |
| 15:35 |
Phrynne |
The Ajuda people whom I have met are very good. |
| 15:35 |
Soup Jonson |
Oh that would be beneficial to many . |
| 15:35 |
Phrynne |
If you have underage Spanish speakers, Unihispana is the only place I can think of now. |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes. Some are donations to a committed rate, but they are still donations from individuals. |
| 15:36 |
Phrynne |
Unfortunately, I know of no good French-language help regions right now. |
| 15:36 |
Phrynne |
Stereo Nacht is at work translating our tutorial into French. |
| 15:36 |
Agatha Macbeth |
>.< |
| 15:36 |
Welleth |
are all the professors and tutors native English speakers? |
| 15:37 |
Phrynne |
No, this is an international university, just as Second Life is an international organization |
| 15:37 |
Kara2016 |
does being a Texan count? |
| 15:37 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
We are kind of international bunch |
| 15:37 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |

| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The contact I have for Ajuda, btw, is Roth Grut. |
| 15:38 |
Phrynne |
Roth is the one who built Ajuda SL Brasil, and is very good. |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And seems dedicated to making it work and working with others. |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other questions or comments? |
