Caledon Oxbridge Q&A for 2018-07-15

15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome to this week's Caledon Oxbridge Deans' Q&A
15:02 Summya thanks
15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen This is an open meeting; all are welcome unless/until individual behavior violates Oxbridge's prim directive.
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Transcripts will be posted on our website after the meeting (still having problems posting them before).
15:03 Phrynne Prim directive? Or prime directive?
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Prime Directive (thanks for catching that): aka "Don't be an asshole".
15:03 Phrynne Yes, the Carl Rule
15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne, what have ye for this week?
15:04 Phrynne A little.
15:04 Phrynne I have been updating the floral and other decorations around campus, so be on the lookout for daisies, sunflowers and other things as I make my rounds.
15:05 Gronk Seriman whispers where the transcripts go... http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/qna/qna_index.php
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thanks, Miss Gronk.
15:05 Phrynne I am very happy with the hard work the tutors have been doing in the last week, since the number of people coming who are new and need help is up by about a third.
15:06 Phrynne That's a lot more people to deal with at any one time. Thank you for doing your best at it.
15:06 Phrynne And that's about all from me right now.
15:06 Phrynne Over to you, Word.
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thank you, Phrynne.
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea, reports and announcements?
15:07 Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) Kara2016 gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway.
15:07 RainyDayRecess TY Kara ;)
15:08 Kara2016 <..pats full tummy..
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hmmm, Pirate dance on the beach Tuesday nights, Relay for life is running this weekend, Looks like it is too late to do a Christmas in July fundraiser. Unless I can get some things, donated items, dj's etc done quickly
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) or it will be in august
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) the patio set below me is a modified version of the one in the shop. IM me a number between 1 and 1000 to win it today.
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) closest number wins
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) lastly. been busy in sl with limited time
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) RL is requiring some attention
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen It does that.
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I was asked about the build I usually do for RFL in the village. Sadly I just did not have the energy this year for it
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) looks back at Wordsmith
15:12 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thanks, Andrea.
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen This week I got caught up on weekly and monthly visitor statistics -- up through last night.
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen Those are at http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/statistics/index.php
15:14 Wordsmith Jarvinen Also, while in a bit of black humor, I've been humming 20,000 Lindens under the sea for part of the week.
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen In downloading transactions this morning, I noticed that Andrea had taken care of half of that.
15:15 Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) Wordsmith Jarvinen gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway.
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen And there's the rest. So now it's a much smaller deficit and what we will be doing in our fundraising will mostly be creating financial padding. That's easier than competing head-on for funding with RFL.
15:17 RainyDayRecess Thank you Word ;)
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen I did re-rez the SL15B build in Southend. Caledon SouthEnd (207,240,1201)
15:18 Kara2016 Smiles brightly.
15:19 Wordsmith Jarvinen I haven't had a chance to do more with a configuration selector.
15:19 Kara2016 ???
15:19 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I have spoken to Samm about rezzing her SLB build in a platform so those that missed it can see it.
15:19 Wordsmith Jarvinen To move the buildings from one state to another, Kara.
15:19 Phrynne oooooh!
15:20 Kara2016 ooohh..
