Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) does a quick scan of ground level and swings her attention back |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Glad you made it, Andrea, I might have had to shift the apostrophe to the other side of the "s". |
| 15:03 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Had to relog, took longer than expected |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It was slow for me also. |
| 15:04 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
No Phrynne? |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne can't make it, so yes we have no Phrynne today. |

RainyDayRecess |
Yay! |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Rainy, did you have anything? |
| 15:17 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

| 15:17 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Pins? |

Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Andrea...... |
| 15:17 |
RainyDayRecess |
Nothing really, just updating the contributors list for Andrea |
| 15:17 |
RainyDayRecess |
Not quite finished yet |
| 15:17 |
RainyDayRecess |
and it looks like the pins LoD's need some work too |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'll try and get the transactions processed later today. |
| 15:18 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

John (elijahjohnb) raises his hand |

Garret Black (pantau) |
Hello, Sir ... |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Gronk and Elf? |
| 15:18 |
Gronk Seriman |
Nothing to report. |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
No suggestions or needs in the plaza? |
| 15:19 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
The usual and couple of idiots and ask-and-dashers |
| 15:19 |
John (elijahjohnb) |
i am terribly late and am unsure of what we are discussing |
| 15:19 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Not you |
| 15:20 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Elf... |
| 15:20 |
Garret Black (pantau) |
Why don't you turn on your timer, John? |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
John, this is a weekly Q&A meeting for Oxbridge University. We start with staff reports and then open it up. |
| 15:20 |
Gronk Seriman |
A hot tub would be nice. |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Maybe if Lindal got tropical fish. |
| 15:21 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
*raises her fan* |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Cal? |

Garret Black (pantau) |
Sorry - in case nobody notices - there's an elephant in this room ... |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Sorry, didn't mean to neglect you as part of the tutor staff. |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Ayep. |
| 15:22 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
All staff should have gotten a notecard with information of the avatars participating in the attack on the Q&A last week. |
| 15:22 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
If you do not have one, I have an extra copy. There have been no reprisals, so I think we'll be okay for now. |
| 15:23 |
RainyDayRecess |
(Yes, Garret, but it's a baby elephant ;) |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Aevalle estate banned several (that's Caledon wide) and sent a not to Des. |
| 15:23 |
Garret Black (pantau) |
but .... it's moving |
| 15:24 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
That's all I had. *pipes down* |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thanks, Cal |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I talked with Lindal this morning, giving her a head's up on the new tutorial kiosks, which hopefully will move us forward to a multi-lingual tutorial. I know that Jorge is working on a Spanish Translation and Stereo Nacht on a French translations. I'll have to check with Phrynne on German and Portuguese translations. |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Cal, you have a COUG group tag on, would you please touch the front panel were the designs are? |
| 15:28 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
*nods* The gold panel behind you? |
| 15:28 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Or the kiosk? |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The wood below the flags that's embossed (on the kiosk) |
| 15:29 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Figure it out |
| 15:29 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
_figured |
| 15:30 |
|
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) is a silly Elf, and takes a second to figure some things out. |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So, staff can configure the kiosks as either plane or with a direction arrow at a touch. So of the kiosks have such an arrow to direct people going through. |
| 15:30 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
hi Sandie |
| 15:30 |
Sandie Harbour |
smiles and waves |
| 15:31 |
Cat Ballou (astarynite) |
As it is now, that would be the next kiosk to my right |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Kara, would you mind running us through the four non-English flags? |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Touch and pause on each. |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
French |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
German |
| 15:33 |
John (elijahjohnb) |
yay Spanish |
| 15:33 |
John (elijahjohnb) |
may I try it? |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Portuguese and Spanish and a flag to get back to English. |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Go ahead John |
| 15:33 |
Cat Ballou (astarynite) |
It is a beautiful kiosk Word |
| 15:34 |
John (elijahjohnb) |
it works |
| 15:34 |
Cat Ballou (astarynite) |
I can't believe all of that is just 1 prim |
| 15:34 |
Kara2016 |
Sorry, i was afk..helping mom. |
| 15:34 |
Gronk Seriman |
It is so wonderful! |
| 15:34 |
RainyDayRecess |
Impressive, right? 1 Li |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'll be coding in a 30 second lock and then a reset timeout. |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
the first so we don't end up with people having click arguments. |
| 15:35 |
John (elijahjohnb) |
how hard will it be to add languages? |
| 15:35 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I think translation may be the hardest part. |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So, apart from some minor scripting additions and straightening some slightly nonvertical columns (thanks for catching that, Rainy), it's done. |
| 15:36 |
John (elijahjohnb) |
then scalability is built in? |
| 15:36 |
John (elijahjohnb) |
lovely |
| 15:37 |
Gronk Seriman |
Not hard at all. First you would need to find someone who translate the entire Orientation. Then you'd need to find somebody to graphically make the translation make sense with all the original artwork. |
| 15:37 |
Sandie Harbour |
brilliant |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
As far as the kiosk, dropping in textures with prefixes on their names: en_, fr_, de_, pt_, es_ |
| 15:38 |
|
John (elijahjohnb) is totally impressed |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Or leaving the blank for ones that we don't (yet) have a translations. Apart from the English ones, the other pages say <language> tutorial posters coming soon to a kiosk near you. |
| 15:38 |
Gronk Seriman |
And really? Only one LI per board? |
| 15:39 |
RainyDayRecess |
Yes each kiosk is only 1 Li ;) |
| 15:39 |
John (elijahjohnb) |
i hope you find translators , i only speak English |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That was a bit of work, but yes. The current tutorial stands are 1 LI and we have quite a few over the different buildings. This is one LI and keeps it's basic shape as far out as you can cam. |
| 15:39 |
RainyDayRecess |
That is what it is for John, see the flags? |
| 15:40 |
RainyDayRecess |
It's a very labour intensive job translating |
| 15:40 |
John (elijahjohnb) |
yes |
| 15:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
One of the requirements to have 1 LI is that it had to be one mesh piece. Each separate piece has a server cost of 0.5, but that increases to 1.0 (and always rounds up) if a script is in it. |
| 15:41 |
|
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) has already mentioned his view of the machine translation... |
| 15:41 |
John (elijahjohnb) |
for the whole tutorial in the school |
| 15:41 |
MisterDFB |
perhaps Google translate, so a native speaker would only have to make the corrections |
| 15:41 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
No. |
| 15:42 |
RainyDayRecess |
There are many kiosks throughout the tutorial John ;) |
| 15:42 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Some results of machine translation are... amusing at best |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Over all the buildings with posters, eventually. But not the library, hall of Caledon, store, train station. |
| 15:42 |
Gronk Seriman |
I was being a little sarcastic that adding different languages was "Not hard at all!" It is actually a lot of work. |
| 15:42 |
RainyDayRecess |
of course Gronk ;) |
| 15:42 |
John (elijahjohnb) |
It would work better with multilingual native doing the translation |
| 15:43 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Yup |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, that's what's being done. Jorge, Stereo, ... |
| 15:43 |
RainyDayRecess |
Do you know some that can volunteer John? |
| 15:44 |
John (elijahjohnb) |
i know so few people, no, bur i am excited that the work is initiated |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Spanish and French are in progress. |
| 15:44 |
John (elijahjohnb) |
i am only an English speaker |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We have several German speakers |
| 15:45 |
Garret Black (pantau) |
so what's still needed? |
| 15:45 |
RainyDayRecess |
Translators that have that kind of time and talent are very hard to come by |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne had mentioned a couple of Portuguese possibilities. |
| 15:46 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
And the languages you need, are not ones I speak. |
| 15:46 |
Garret Black (pantau) |
I could offer German, but I hear there are "several German speakers" already |
| 15:46 |
John (elijahjohnb) |
RL calls, i must be off |
| 15:46 |
|
John (elijahjohnb) tips his hat |
| 15:46 |
RainyDayRecess |
K John, thanks for coming |
| 15:46 |
Kara2016 |
i only recognize the French flag. |
| 15:46 |
John (elijahjohnb) |
sorry that I could not learn more |
| 15:47 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Although I don't know today whether Phrynne has anyone active on a German translation. |
| 15:47 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Likely should open for questions in general at this point. |
| 15:48 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Please keep in mind that we have a sponsor board in the plaza by the lecture hall. It is where contributors can get a advertisement placed for their business/club/ or location of interest. A notecard can be setup to be given when the add is clicked on. If you know anyone that would like to, or should you like to post such a advertisement. Please let Wordsmith, RainyDayRecess or myself know..We can give you rate options. |
| 15:48 |
Garret Black (pantau) |
Just contact me in case you need German help |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. |
| 15:48 |
Garret Black (pantau) |
;o) |
| 15:48 |
RainyDayRecess |
Thank you Garret ;) |
| 15:49 |
Soup Jonson |
:) |
| 15:49 |
Garret Black (pantau) |
is ok - you don't need to give me flowers ... |
| 15:49 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The work comes in doing the translations and in getting those into a texture. |
| 15:50 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any questions in general? |
| 15:51 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea any announcements? |
| 15:51 |
Gronk Seriman |
Where does the Quest end now, with Iron Cloud gone? |
| 15:51 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Tuesday night we will have something new for a dance event |
| 15:52 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Sperling, Gronk. |
| 15:52 |
Soup Jonson |
no work tomorrow yes |
| 15:52 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
see the ISC , Caledonian nights , and the student union groups for the notice |
| 15:52 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Would tutors need a new Quest hint list? |
| 15:53 |
RainyDayRecess |
Good point Elf |
| 15:53 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A U.S. holiday tomorrow, yes. |
| 15:53 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
phht I'm working |
| 15:53 |
|
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) still has to go to work. |
| 15:54 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Just can't go to the bank |
| 15:54 |
Soup Jonson |
Ha! |
| 15:54 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I think the only change at this point is the shirt from Middlesea to Sperling. Still the flying chair, balloon, and air kraken. |
| 15:54 |
Soup Jonson |
:) |
| 15:54 |
Gronk Seriman |
...or get your trash picked up...if your city is city garbage. |
| 15:55 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Trash goes out on Thursdays in my town |
| 15:55 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
So we're good |
| 15:56 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything more SL related? |
| 15:56 |
Gronk Seriman |
Ah. And is a benevolent watcher monitoring the end? I'm sure that's how I finished the first time. Made the krakken go a way for a little bit. |
| 15:57 |
RainyDayRecess |
Yay Gronk ;) |
| 15:57 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And I did get some good suggestions for possible fund-raising items, Andreas dress being along those lines. |
| 15:59 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Things for our creative talents at Oxbridge to think about. |
| 15:59 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 16:00 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Then we are |
