hi honey |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome to this year's first Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting -- open to all except when individual behavior requires otherwise. Transcripts will be posted after the meeting (Just can't seem to do them before). |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, What have you for today? |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
I have two things to report |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
First, I thought we might need a little excitement for January -- so I've set up a Snowball Fight Zone, on campus next to the Chat Circle. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
There are bunkers to hide behind, and a box of snowball launchers and scoring equipment. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
Feel free to have snowball fights there! |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
(just not in the plaza, please) |
| 15:07 |
RainyDayRecess |
Yay! Thanks Phrynne :D |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
The second thing is that we seem to have had a few avatars lately who regard the Village dressing rooms as a place to dump boxes. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
And since those are not automatically returned, I have to do it. |
| 15:08 |
RainyDayRecess |
Is there a sign posted, I can't remember? |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
So, if you use the Village dressing rooms -which are on this parcel -- and notice boxes sitting around, please tell me and I will contact the people who left them. I managed to catch up with one, but I think she's not the only one. So I am asking for your help. |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
can auto return be turned on on those parcels? |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
Auto return is on -- for non-group items. But any avatar who is an Oxbridge scholar is in the group, and thus they have to be returned by hand |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That doesn't affect those wearing the scholar group tag -- it's COUG land, not COU land (same parcel as this) |
| 15:10 |
RainyDayRecess |
Maybe a sign specifically for Scholars? |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
Yesterday I had to return 119 boxes that had been left there. |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
One or two, I could expect, but more than 100? |
| 15:10 |
RainyDayRecess |
wow |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
It could be objects as well as clothing boxes --if anything looks wrong, or out of place, let me know, please |
| 15:11 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
People probably think auto return gets them |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
Yes. |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
because it does at Oxbridge. |
| 15:12 |
Phrynne |
Anyway, that's it for now. There is a sign marking the Snowball Fight Zone, and the throwers are in the blue box near it. |
| 15:12 |
|
Phrynne sits back, having reported. |
| 15:12 |
Kara2016 |
Smiles brightly. |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
ty Phrynne. |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea? |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Tier has been paid for December with a little left over. So to begin to build up the next tier money. The COU Winter Ball will be this 27th. At least that is the tentative date. |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Will be more on that this week |
| 15:14 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I will be contacting different persons to help with decorations |
| 15:14 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I was going to wait. But Des usually resets around Feb i think |
| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Other than that nothing set |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A short intense winter. |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Rainy, anything from you? |
| 15:16 |
RainyDayRecess |
Nothing really, Andrea, did you make that announcement already to the Patron group? |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
no not yet |
| 15:16 |
RainyDayRecess |
After she does, I'll be handing out pins accordingly ;) |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
kk ty |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So, I paid tier on 3 Jan, good until 4 April. Instructor stipends paid through the last week of December. |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That left 226k $L in the account back to where we were at the start of last July (after tier), and making up for the July - October deficit. |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That sounds like a lot, but is essentially a two-quarter cushion. |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So our thanks to the community of supporters and the many who put in time and effort to make that happen, as well as our dean and asst dean of development. (Andrea and Rainy). |
| 15:22 |
RainyDayRecess |

| 15:22 |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And, with that, open to general questions. |
| 15:32 |
Gronk Seriman |
No news from me. And I must say the Advent gifts were all Above Average. Many thanks to all the hard work. |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'll pass that on to Agatha. |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |

Phrynne |
Don't want y'all to be bored |
| 15:35 |
RainyDayRecess |
Thanks again Phrynne ;) |
| 15:35 |
Gronk Seriman |
Where are things in the sign translations? Is there any way to "layer on" help from places struggling on their own? |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Jorge back at it, Phrynne? |
| 15:36 |
Phrynne |
I think he's catching his breath after 3 months of full time RL work |
| 15:37 |
Phrynne |
but I will ask him when I see him. |
| 15:37 |
Phrynne |
Stereo is continuing to translate in French. |
| 15:37 |
Phrynne |
It takes a while. We have a *lot* of signs down there. |
| 15:38 |
Gronk Seriman |
No doubt! |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Indeed. |
| 15:38 |
Gronk Seriman |
No doubt! |
| 15:38 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Oh, there has been a report of snow person criminal activity, against other snow people being on the rise. The authorities are looking into it. |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
What's the world coming to? |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
