Welcome, Elf and Ingonyama, and Sandie and Larlotte. |

Hello everyone ;) |

Hi Sandie, how are you doing? |
| 14:59 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I can see we need to add a tank up here (no not the military kind) |
| 15:00 |
Gronk Seriman |
I wonder why the lights are all off. |

There. |

Gronk Seriman |
Thank you! |
| 15:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Let there be lights. |
| 15:01 |
Sandie Harbour |
geez it's bright in here |
| 15:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
But I believe you are still brighter, Sandie. |
| 15:02 |

Gronk Seriman smiles |

Sandie Harbour |
it's just a clever disguise |

Welcome to this week's Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. |
| 15:02 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
:-) |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
This is an open meeting. All are welcome who don't "require" us to decide otherwise. |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Transcripts will we posted after the meeting. |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, can you start out? |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
I have been updating the flowers and trees, gradually. |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
I try to give you something different to notice each week. |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
In other matters, we are looking for someone who can work on translating the Tutorial into German. Garret Black, who had volunteered to do it, has had to lay down the task because of serious matters in RL that are taking all his time. |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
If you know anyone who speaks good German and might want to help Oxbridge in this way, please let me know. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
The Portuguese translation has been slow to start but should begin this week. I think some of the slowness is that Roth Grut, who is to do that translation, also runs Ajuda SL Brasil, the Portuguese-language beginner help region. And running a beginner area can be time-consuming. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
Besides that, I've been helping newcomers in the Plaza and elsewhere. And that's all from me for now. |
| 15:07 |
|
Phrynne turns back to Word |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've mostly been working on the SL15B build; doing the scripting while Rainy has been working on windows and doors, and understructure. That's all coming along in good schedule. |
| 15:10 |
Gronk Seriman |
Is that anywhere we can visit? |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I got updated financials to Andrea and Rainy this week. |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I have the model I've shown here before inworld, but not the entire full scale one yet. |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Soon. |
| 15:12 |
Gronk Seriman |
Yay! |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'd though I might have some of the movement working by today, but not quite yet. Some is simple. The place where two pieces move at once is going to require lockstep communication to keep them in sync (given SL). |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
But the framework and logic leading up to that is done. |
| 15:14 |
RainyDayRecess |
Nice ;) |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I expect Andrea will be putting on another fundraiser soon. If I figured from 1 April to a few days ago, starting with 225k $L in the account, paying classes along the way, and wanting that same 225K in the account after paying tier beginning of July, we're running 16k $L behind to date. |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Oxbridge requires 8250 $L per weeks to stay even. |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(that's tier and instructor stipends) |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We did have a run-through on inventory class. Star's going to do some revisions and we're going to change the notecard reader as a result. Neither are major. |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I think that's the report from me. |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Rainy anything on the pins or the SLB build? |
| 15:22 |
RainyDayRecess |
I'm finally finished with the updated pin |
| 15:22 |
RainyDayRecess |
Still working on the build ;) |
| 15:22 |
RainyDayRecess |
And that's all from me |
| 15:23 |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Elfbiter has his weekly writers' meeting on Thursdays at 11am SLT |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Brant would you say a few words about what you're doing? |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(and the link to your video) |
| 15:24 |
Brant (mrk.kas) |
hello all. I'm looking to recruit a group of 5 to 8 educators to help me test a course I want to offer to COU |
| 15:24 |
Brant (mrk.kas) |
here is a demo of one level of the gamified education: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThPMBdtE3oQ |
| 15:25 |
Brant (mrk.kas) |
it's designed to teach camera controls |
| 15:25 |
Brant (mrk.kas) |
the second level is more affective/cognitive, looking to build digital literacy for leadership and collaboration |
| 15:25 |
Brant (mrk.kas) |
it's a roleplay-based game set in Venice in 1600 |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And the build / recreation is very well done. And Brant and I will be talking further on how we might collaborate. |
| 15:28 |
Brant (mrk.kas) |
thanks, Wordsmith! |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Samm, anything you want to discuss or announce? |
| 15:29 |
Samm Florian |
Nope, just listenin'. |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Gronk and Elf, any input from the tutor side of things? |
| 15:30 |
Gronk Seriman |
Not tonight. |
| 15:30 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
For some reason there has been number of Spanish speakers in the plaza. Maybe just a statistical fluke, though |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any general questions (open for general discussion) |
| 15:31 |
Gronk Seriman |
I was going to rant about the coffee machine in the Staff Break Room, but that will have to wait. |
| 15:31 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:31 |
Phrynne |
oh, did the baby kraken get in it again? |
| 15:32 |
Phrynne |
I'll send it home after we're done here. |
| 15:32 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
There's a break room? |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There actually is a coffee machine, btw |
| 15:33 |
Gronk Seriman |
Well, there's a problem with that, too. |
| 15:33 |
Phrynne |
oh? |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Inside the entry building, behind the couch. |
| 15:33 |
Phrynne |
in the lounge |
| 15:33 |
Phrynne |
What's the problem with it? |
| 15:34 |
Gronk Seriman |
You can't expect reliable work without reliable coffee. Just sayin'. |
| 15:34 |
Phrynne |
I think it's an espresso machine. |
| 15:35 |
Brant (mrk.kas) |
expressly |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Oh, if you have any donations for the Advent Calendar, Star is the one to contact. |
| 15:36 |
Phrynne |
Or me. |
| 15:37 |
Phrynne |
It's a cooperative effort this year |
| 15:37 |
Samm Florian |
What's th'deadline fer that? |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
1st of November, if I recall correctly. |
| 15:38 |
Phrynne |
The absolute deadline for getting something to me is Nov.1 -- however, I'd like to know sooner than that. And if you promise something and won't be able to do it, I need to know in August. |
| 15:38 |
Phrynne |
so I can find something else for that day. |
| 15:39 |
Phrynne |
So far we have maybe half a dozen things donated, but some of them I am still checking out to make sure they work. |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Hearing nothing else |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We stand/sit/float/whatever |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |

Attempted bedtime for me at least.... |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Hopefully to sleep well. |

Phrynne |

Brant (mrk.kas) |

Gronk Seriman |

Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
