| 14:47 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hi Andrea. |
| 14:47 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | hi |
| 14:47 | Phrynne waves | |
| 14:48 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea, your "chair" is a new twist. |
| 14:49 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | ...let's twist again in the midnight summer.... |
| 14:50 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | twist and shout? |
| 14:50 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | :-) |
| 14:53 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | new outfit Mr EB? |
| 14:56 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | In fact, this is one of the oldest I have. |
| 14:56 | Sasha Tangie (sashaveiloftears) | G'day! |
| 14:56 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | After the first Steam Hunt I took past of. |
| 14:56 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | *part of |
| 14:56 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Looks good |
| 14:56 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Sauce helped me to find a beard afterward . |
| 14:57 | Lea (lea55kay) | Phrynne it was wonderful, well done job :) |
| 14:57 | Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) | Kara2016 gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 14:57 | Phrynne | thank you |
| 14:57 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | ty Kara |
| 14:57 | Lea (lea55kay) | yw |
| 14:57 | Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) | Sasha Tangie (sashaveiloftears) gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 14:57 | Kara2016 | Smiles brightly. |
| 14:58 | Dee Wells (promiscute) blushes "Pardon me" | |
| 14:58 | Larlotte Blackwater (larlotte) giggles into her Habit | |
| 15:00 | Wordsmith Jarvinen Thinks of captive giggles and what would happen if they all escaped at once. | |
| 15:00 | Lea (lea55kay) | hehe they'd all die happy |
| 15:00 | Sasha Tangie (sashaveiloftears) chuckles | |
| 15:00 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome to the Oxbridge Deans' weekly (mostly) Q&A meeting. |
| 15:01 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | This is and open meet. All are welcome except when individual mis-behavior requires otherwise. |
| 15:02 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Transcripts will be posted after the meeting, since my look-ahead capability is still minimal. |
| 15:02 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Phrynne, can you open? |
| 15:02 | Phrynne | I have a few things today. |
| 15:02 | Larlotte Blackwater (larlotte) | Lady Lyndon! |
| 15:02 | LadyLyndon | Greetings everyone :) |
| 15:02 | LadyLyndon | larlotte! :) |
| 15:03 | Phrynne | First, we still need someone to volunteer to help us by translating the remainder of the Tutorial into Spanish. Most of it is already done, but part of the Avatar Customization building and all of the Money and Commerce building remain. |
| 15:03 | Phrynne | If anyone is interested and willing to help, please contact me or Word. |
| 15:04 | Phrynne | Second, we have had a number of invisible avatars lately. These aren't people who are confused by their alphas. They are invisible, including name, because of specialized HUDs they wear. |
| 15:04 | Kara2016 | hhhmm.. |
| 15:04 | Phrynne | The names are visible on the Mini-Map and on the small map in the Nearby Friends panel, but not anywhere else that I know. |
| 15:05 | Phrynne | This is a problem. It makes it much harder for us to figure out who is bothering visitors and staff if they are being harassed .... |
| 15:05 | Phrynne | And it can be very difficult to know who is causing griefing, particularly particle griefing. We can figure out names from rezzed objects, but not from particles -- and some of these specialized HUDs are combat HUDs that can generate attacks. |
| 15:06 | Phrynne | Not good. |
| 15:06 | Phrynne | So, I am asking you to help us. |
| 15:06 | Phrynne | When you are at Oxbridge, please look around using your Mini-map. |
| 15:06 | Sasha Tangie (sashaveiloftears) | Is this also in the effect of random objects floating in the air near residents homes? |
| 15:06 | Kara2016 | smiles brightly. |
| 15:06 | Phrynne | Click on a dot on the map, click Cam and see if the person the dot represents is visible. |
| 15:07 | Phrynne | Sasha, not that I know of. Please let me continue. |
| 15:07 | Sasha Tangie (sashaveiloftears) zips up her trap | |
| 15:08 | Phrynne | Click on the dot on the map, click on Cam, see if the avatar is visible. If it is invisible, including the name, please note down the name from the map on a notecard, along with the time in SLT and send it to me and Word. |
| 15:08 | Phrynne | If nothing happens and it is just someone playing at being invisible, no big deal.... |
| 15:08 | Phrynne | But if there is a problem on campus, this will go a long way to helping us figure out who caused it, and who was here when. |
| 15:09 | Phrynne | Thank you for helping to make Oxbridge safe. |
| 15:09 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | So, if you don't see someone, say something. |
| 15:09 | Phrynne | And my last item is that my photography will continue to be on exhibit at the Caledon National Museum through April 30, and you are all welcome to wander over and see it. |
| 15:09 | Phrynne | Caledon II (163,25,24) |
| 15:09 | Phrynne | This LM takes you just inside the entrance. |
| 15:10 | Phrynne | And that's it from me. |
| 15:10 | Sasha Tangie (sashaveiloftears) raises her hand | |
| 15:10 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Sasha? |
| 15:10 | Sasha Tangie (sashaveiloftears) | This is my first meeting. How can I sign up to exhibit my photography? |
| 15:10 | Phrynne | Talk to Star, who runs the museum. |
| 15:11 | Sasha Tangie (sashaveiloftears) | Ok thanks |
| 15:11 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | astarynite |
| 15:11 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | She is setting up monthly shows |
| 15:12 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea? |
| 15:12 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Nothing much this week. I'm running behind this week and last week. Ms Stereo Nacht will be hosting her Newcomer ball soon and Outside fair. Some of the proceeds from the events go to the COU. Vendors , games, rides, and entertainment will be provided. |
| 15:12 | Kara2016 | Smiles brightly. |
| 15:13 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | A reminder, over by the Cafë Vox by the train station There is setup a greenhouse. The sale proceeds from the greenhouse go to the operational costs of the COU. |
| 15:13 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | oops cafe |
| 15:13 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Just click the greenhouse and buy. |
| 15:13 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | It is currently priced at 300 lindens |
| 15:14 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | More will be forthcoming from Ms Nacht this week on the fair and Newcomers ball. A poster will be in the COU soon and notices |
| 15:16 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | If you have a item you would like to donate to us here at the COU to sell. Please let me know. Though I do not wish to impact the donations made by the creators we have for the Advent Calender. Please see Phrynne if you have one of those items |
| 15:16 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | hi star |
| 15:16 | star (astarynite) | HI |
| 15:16 | Kara2016 | ouch |
| 15:16 | star (astarynite) | sorry about that |
| 15:16 | Kara2016 | giggles. |
| 15:16 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | passes the baton to Wordsmith |
| 15:17 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And there, Miss Sasha, is Asst Dean Star, also owner of the museum. |
| 15:17 | star (astarynite) smiles and waves to Sasha | |
| 15:17 | Kara2016 | Sasha left. |
| 15:17 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Rainy, anything? |
| 15:17 | Sasha Tangie (sashaveiloftears) | Star has been very helpful |
| 15:17 | Kara2016 | oh, thee she is. |
| 15:17 | Sasha Tangie (sashaveiloftears) waves | |
| 15:17 | RainyDayRecess | Sorry, nothing just finished some new improved pins |
| 15:18 | RainyDayRecess | That's all from me ;) |
| 15:18 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | okay. Thanks. |
| 15:18 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Star, any words on the Advent Calendar? |
| 15:18 | star (astarynite) | I am gathering names |
| 15:19 | star (astarynite) smiles | |
| 15:19 | star (astarynite) | we need at least 24 |
| 15:19 | star (astarynite) | If anyone has something they would like to contribute to the Advent Calendar next December, please let me know, |
| 15:20 | star (astarynite) | that is all, thanks Word |
| 15:20 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | But don't wait until December to contribute. |
| 15:21 | star (astarynite) | Yes, the sooner the better |
| 15:21 | Phrynne | The deadline for contributions is November 1; I may make exceptions on a case by case basis for a very very few people. |
| 15:22 | Phrynne | but November 1 is when we would like to have the gifts in hand. |
| 15:22 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Nothing much from me this week, mostly doing RL financials. I did catch up several weeks of instructor stipend payments. |
| 15:22 | star (astarynite) | All gifts must also be Copy Transfer |
| 15:23 | Phrynne | Full perm is better, though -- if you need it to be No Modify, we will set it to that before putting it in a box. |
| 15:24 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Some time also went to discussions with Star and Des on oddities of spontaneous texture and terrain changes. Documented as |
| 15:24 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | ODDITIES When trees turn into fall, when spring is on the wall, and those flying by can't figure out the why. Then bug reports are nigh, for detectives by and by, to eliminate the bugs displaying such spite and gall. A treehouse she turned black, we might have brought her back but she was dispatched to the void before we knew. An no one's yet explained, or taken on the blame, for sending bits of other's land down in the blue. So now we keep an eye, on trees, and land, and sea, Lest the gremlins in the woodlands want to play, And be bright on alert, even while you flirt, lest terrain should sink away while we don't see. |
| 15:25 | ღلadё ℝeynolds ღ (jadetyler) | giggles |
| 15:25 | star (astarynite) | If you have trees that suddenly change to fall or black, I apologize and hopefully I can help you turn them back |
| 15:25 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | So, with that open for general questions. |
| 15:25 | RainyDayRecess | Nice ;) |
| 15:26 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Carriages? |
| 15:26 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Not yet. Not forgotten |
| 15:27 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Also, LL has announced the theme for SL15B to be "crystal". |
| 15:27 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | slips in, I'm working on a build for that as well. |
| 15:27 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I'll but in an applications for a visit, and Rainy and I have a head-start on a build. |

| 15:42 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | That was via educators and librarians involved in Science Circle, Virtual Pioneers, and VSTE. |
