15:00 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hi all
15:00 Jan Stroikavskoi I wasn't planning on coming but somehow here I am ;)
15:00 Wordsmith Jarvinen (sloshes as the wave reaches the beach)
15:00 J.F. (jewelfargo) Hiii Cymbal :)
15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hi Jan, Nice to see you here whether unplanned or not.
15:01 Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) Hello Jewel! :)
15:01 Jan Stroikavskoi Hah thank you Word :)
15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen Good, Andrea is sitting on the barrel, not down to having to wear it.
15:02 Gronk Seriman Nor is she over it.
15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome to this weeks Oxbridge Deans' Q&A
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen This is an open meeting. All are welcome unless individual mis-behavior requires reconsideration.
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Transcripts will be posted after the meeting (as usual).
15:03 Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) Kara2016 gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway.
15:03 RainyDayRecess Thank you Kara ;)
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome, Kara. And ty.
15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne is still out on leave, so, have anything this week Andrea?
15:04 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) not really, been in rl a lot.
15:05 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Should be announcing the date for the fundraiser this week
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen Sometime in October, correct?
15:05 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Homecoming is Tuesday night for Caledonian Nights at the pub. Yes in October
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thanks, and the pub is a nice and convenient venue.
15:07 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome, Yana.
15:07 Yana (yqqb) Hello, Jarvinen! :)
15:08 Wordsmith Jarvinen Slight change from what I said last week. While I'm pretty much diverting my time from social events, and will be directing much of that time into RL, I'm working on classes first.
15:08 Wordsmith Jarvinen So a new Mesh Class will be coming up likely within several weeks.
15:09 Gronk Seriman Andrea, if you held the fundraiser late in October, it could be Halloween themed.
15:09 Wordsmith Jarvinen However, if you look at the Calendar on the right, you'll notice another class on this coming Thursday night.
15:09 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anyone see it?
15:10 Gronk Seriman Ooo! Yes!
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen (and here I'd thought I already had everyone in a coma)
15:10 J.F. (jewelfargo) I saw it
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen So, I've got a new basic concepts of inventory management class ready to go.
15:11 Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) I need that badly with over 85000 items
15:11 Jan Stroikavskoi Great idea!
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hi Ingo.
15:12 Ingo (tkb158) Hello, Word
15:12 Wordsmith Jarvinen I also received four tutorial buildings worth of source files from Lindal.
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Wonderful to see it come back
15:13 Gronk Seriman Yay, Lindal!
15:13 RainyDayRecess That's great news!
15:14 Wordsmith Jarvinen Well, it wasn't exactly Plan A for bringing up the Inventory class, but I woke up one morning and it was clear that getting it going in a timely fashion was going to require Plan B.
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen So, a fairly concise class, but with screen shots up on the display.
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen And actually happening before Samhain.
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen Got one final art piece to Phrynne for the Advent Calendar.
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen A little more scripting for the animations I put in the throne chair she has for that.
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen So, that's it from me. Open for questions.
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen Comments, confusions, .....
15:18 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Still hosting the Writes' Meeting in Thursdays 11:00 AM
15:18 Gronk Seriman Does anybody know the Google Translate app for smartphones where you can take a picture of a sign, and it will translate it for you?
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen And thank you for that, Elf. It all helps to build community.
15:19 Wordsmith Jarvinen Are you looking for it, Miss Gronk?
15:20 Wordsmith Jarvinen Or seeing if the rest of us know about it?
15:20 Gronk Seriman I am wondering if it's a tool to help people get through Oxbridge. I only thought of it recently, and haven't tried it out myself yet.
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen It would depend a lot on how well it can deal with the decorative clutter on the tutorials.
15:22 Gronk Seriman Very true.
15:22 Wordsmith Jarvinen I don't think getting the translations onto the tutorials is going to take that long.
15:23 Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) Raises hand
15:23 Gronk Seriman And I don't know how tech-savvy people are sometimes.
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen We've got the text, so substituting the other language text for the English text.
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen Cymbal?
15:24 Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) Do we have an updated list of newcomer friendly sites along with where they can get freebies? Other than in Caledon?
15:24 Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) Given my inventory is so bad, I can never find this.. so wondered if there was something out that they could pick up
15:24 Wordsmith Jarvinen That would be a question for Phrynne when she's back next week.
15:25 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Some Spanish places have disappeared, turned into malls, things like that.
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen There's what I have, G-rated sites updated last January
15:27 Wordsmith Jarvinen Jan, don't be bashful if there's anything you want to chip in with or bring up.
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen Agatha, nice to see you upfront again, btw.
15:28 lovejoy2199 Chancellor: Will you be adding those 'sites' to the transcript?
15:28 Agatha Macbeth Thank you sir
15:29 Wordsmith Jarvinen No, not in the right format, but any staff member should have one, and I can give you one.
15:29 lovejoy2199 Thank you.
15:29 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anyone else?
15:30 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything else anyone wants to ask or bring up?
15:31 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hearing nothing
15:31 Wordsmith Jarvinen (Jules did you have anything you wanted to bring up?)
15:32 Wordsmith Jarvinen Question or comment wise?
15:32 Gronk Seriman Pinball machine. Tutors' Lounge. Just sayin'.
15:32 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) :-P :-)
15:32 Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) :)
15:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen That's more mythical than the mythical Oxbridge rum cache.
15:33 Gronk Seriman smiles
15:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hearing nothing, we stand, adjourned.
15:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thank you all for coming.
15:33 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) ty all for coming
15:33 Gronk Seriman Thank you, Deans!
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen Transcript will go up shortly.
15:34 Agatha Macbeth smiles and waves

15:34 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) I have to try to get some sleep
15:34 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Emphasis on "try", again
