15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome to this week's Oxbridge Deans' Q&A
15:05 Katrina Viktoria Black (katrinaviktoriablack) Nap or whatever changed in diet may trigger a migraine.
15:05 Gronk Seriman Migraines are not contagious. If they were, they'd be a Yourgraine.
15:05 Kara2016 i hate head aches.
15:05 RainyDayRecess :D
15:05 Katrina Viktoria Black (katrinaviktoriablack) I am going to sit here and listen.
15:05 Agatha Macbeth pokes Gronk
15:05 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Well, there is such a thing as sympathy hangover....
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen This is an open meeting, all are welcome unless individual mis-behavior requires otherwise.
15:06 BigM27 May I say Andrea your dress looks stunning.
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Transcripts will be posted after the meeting at http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/qna/qna_index.php
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea, I'm going to let you go first, then you can take off if you feel so inclined.
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I slept most of the day, ty big
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) The COU fund raiser is set for sat the 20th 2 to 4 and 7 to 9. It will be on the same grounds as last year. There will be a notice coming out later today on it. A name is needed. Then I'll post it and this year we will be listed in the sl events listing.
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Any freebies anyone wishes to donate for distribution would be nice.
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I rebuilt the stage last night and I'm working on the rest of the build
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I'll have 2 rides you can tp to in Caledon and maybe some other stuff in there too
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) .lol, then this morning i found last years stage hidden in inv
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) shrugs
15:08 RainyDayRecess Thanks for all of your hard work Andrea
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) There will be interactive displays to play with
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) stuff with poses for photos etc
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) and a interactive cemetery at the rides build i think
15:10 Agatha Macbeth 0.0
15:10 Kara2016 WOW!
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I plan on 4 dances Halloween themed this year. all 4 Tuesdays
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen Sounds like people can bury themselves for a day in all that you have, Andrea.
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Though, My DJ became ill last week and I have not heard form him, so this Tuesday's Homecoming Dance for the caledonian nights may b canceled, I'll have to play it by ear.
15:11 Agatha Macbeth Aww
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Same for the Halloween dances.
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) He should be back soon i think
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) May have another aspect of the Halloween fundraiser, but I have not had time to discuss it with the other Deans or Chancellor, It will be a surprise
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hi cymbal
15:12 Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) Hello! sorry I am late
15:12 Wordsmith Jarvinen Not a problem, Cymbal
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Any gotcha items or stuff you don't mind seeing given away would be nice. Wordsmith has a script that can randomly give them away during the events.
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) seemed to be a hit at the last fundraiser
15:14 Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) I have a whole bunch of spare gotcha items (raises hand)
15:14 Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) I always am getting got
15:14 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I wanted to do the fundraiser on Friday, but schedules for myself would not work out for that
15:14 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) ty cymbal
15:14 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) all i have for now
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thank you, Andrea -- for the report and all of what's in it.
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen Nice to see you here again, Jorge.
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne?
15:16 Phrynne I have one thing I'd like to talk about.
15:16 Phrynne Since my job title here now includes Special Projects, I want to expand that a bit...
15:16 Jorge Serapis *waves to the delightful masses*
15:17 RainyDayRecess waves back ;)
15:17 Phrynne I am willing to serve as coordinator for anyone who has a special project that involves Caledon Oxbridge. I will help you find resources and put you in contact with others if more than one person has the same idea.
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen (and here Phrynne was worried about me expanding her duties after giving her the extra title)
15:17 Phrynne I won't do your work for you, and your deadlines are your own, but I will help in whatever way I can.
15:18 Jorge Serapis *whispers* Grab the brass ring...!
15:18 Phrynne Mind, now, if it involves buildings and grounds or the Tutorial, it has to get approval from Word and me before it goes anywhere.
15:19 Phrynne But anything else? Send me a notecard with some info on what you want to do, what it involves, how Oxbridge is part of it and what you might need from Oxbridge to make it happen ... and we'll do our best.
15:19 Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) Claps.. Excellent idea!
15:19 Phrynne Please do it on notecards -- my IMs get lost too often.
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen And very much in line with my feeling that Oxbridge should do what we can to foster efforts that help build the Oxbridge and Caledon communities (and the notices I posted for this meeting)
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen It is only through communication and community that we exist.
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything else, Phrynne?
15:22 Phrynne I'm changing the trees for the season -- some of them have as many as 10 different variations, so if you see them switching more, it's not your eyes.
15:22 Agatha Macbeth Yay
15:22 Phrynne And clearing out some space for... skeletons.
15:22 Phrynne and cemetery
15:22 Phrynne and some creeeeeeeeepy stuff for October.
15:23 Phrynne Otherwise, the big bunny wiggles his nose at you, and that's it.
15:23 Ingo (tkb158) claps and smiles
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen Want the headstones I did last year back out?
15:23 Phrynne sure
15:23 Phrynne I haven't figured out where the cemetery will be this year.
15:23 Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) me claps.. and breaks a long nail
15:23 Ember (emberell) Someone should make a costume for the big Oxbridge rabbit
15:23 Phrynne lol
15:23 Kara2016 giggles.
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen I imagine you set it out during the "dead" of night.
15:23 Agatha Macbeth How about dead centre of the sim?
15:23 Phrynne I was thinking of where the apple trees are this year, with a little fog...
15:24 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) threw the skeletons away when he filled the closet with books
15:24 Kara2016 thats a grave undertaking.
15:24 RainyDayRecess omg
15:24 Cherokee (ak521pg) nods at apple trees space
15:24 Phrynne The one problem with those trees is they are great for blossoms but not so much for autumn
15:24 Phrynne so I end up hand-tinting htem.
15:24 Phrynne *them
15:24 Phrynne which, not a big deal, I do it with other things, but tricky.
15:25 Phrynne anyway, that's it from me.
15:26 Ingo (tkb158) puRrrRrRrrrrRrr
15:26 Ingo (tkb158) is happy with this
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thanks, Phrynne some nice things to keep Oxbridge dreadfully wonderful.
15:26 Agatha Macbeth strokes Ingo
15:26 Cherokee (ak521pg) using the space between the roses n trees is a great idea
15:27 Wordsmith Jarvinen My week: Got the Inventory class off to a great start, filling the sim
15:27 Agatha Macbeth :)
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen Nicely enough, the timing seems about right.
15:28 Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) claps in approval
15:29 Wordsmith Jarvinen Two hours before that, I "led" a sci-fi discussion of Connie Willis's short-story "Fire Watch"
15:31 Wordsmith Jarvinen This is evolving into a Civil Virtual Library group and Caledon Oxbridge collaboration. I'll be posting the notice for the next discussion later today. So another effort and building communication and networking between communities.
15:31 Gronk Seriman Nice!
15:31 lovejoy2199 *smile*
15:31 Kara2016 Smiles brightly.
15:31 Wordsmith Jarvinen The next discussion should also go into the Aether Chrononaut calendar and the Alexander Library events announcements.
15:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen I also have the transcripts for the discussions we've done up on the web, although the link will be changing
15:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/cvl_vste/
15:34 Agatha Macbeth Interesting
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen From what Valibrarian has told me, the participant from VSTE is no longer actively involved, which perhaps has opened a wider door for Caledon.
15:35 Wordsmith Jarvinen i'll post the new link and likely retroactive change it in the transcript for today.
15:36 Gronk Seriman Some night, when discussion is slow at this meeting, can we discuss the Aether Chrononaut Calendar...who runs it...how to get things on i?
15:37 Wordsmith Jarvinen The next to the last thing, Is that I've about finished with an animation menu/manager for Phrynne's Throne Chair which will be applicable to other chairs.
15:37 Phrynne hastens to add that this will be a gift in the Advent Calendar.
15:37 Kara2016 smiles brightly.
15:37 lovejoy2199 *SMILE*
15:37 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) :-)
15:37 Wordsmith Jarvinen I IMed Beth Ghostraven who said she could add the CVL discussion to it.
15:37 Phrynne is not being crowned
15:38 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Yet
15:38 Agatha Macbeth You should be miss
15:38 Wordsmith Jarvinen (has at times wanted to "crown" me)
15:38 Wordsmith Jarvinen :P
15:38 Phrynne Word, you're usually wearing a coronet already; it would be redundant.
15:39 Cherokee (ak521pg) thinks we should at least have a ceremony for those doing so much work
15:39 Agatha Macbeth agrees
15:39 Wordsmith Jarvinen The final thing is that I'm told that today is Jorge's rezz day, and he is among us (as well as being part of us).
15:40 Agatha Macbeth ☞ Cℓαρ ☻ Cℓαρ ☞

15:41 Jorge Serapis Thank you for accepting what I can offer, Senor Word. ;_0
15:41 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) :-)
15:41 Wordsmith Jarvinen It is our honor and delight, Senor Jorge. ;)
15:42 Kara2016 Smiles brightly.
15:42 Gronk Seriman Yes! Thank you for being a pivotal point in keeping CATs running!
15:42 Jorge Serapis Does SL have a nursing home?
15:42 Jorge Serapis Asking for a friend.
15:42 Gronk Seriman Ha!
15:42 Jorge Serapis We need to make a Shady Pines here.
15:43 Wordsmith Jarvinen I fear it would become staphed but not staffed.
15:43 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) I think the nursing home is where the Tutor Cafeteria is
15:43 Phrynne we have a cafeteria?
15:43 Jorge Serapis We have a cafeteria?
15:43 Phrynne Is that next to the Tutors' Lounge with the broken pinball machine?
15:43 Ember (emberell) Yes, but it's always just around the corner
15:43 lovejoy2199 12 years. I know what that is in dog years. But what is it in SL years?
15:44 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Gronk claims we have
15:44 Phrynne Someone needs to fix the pinball machine.
15:44 Jorge Serapis IT IS A LIFETIME WHIPPERSNAPPER
15:44 Agatha Macbeth Tommy
15:44 lovejoy2199 lol...lol
15:44 Phrynne we need a Pinball Wizard
15:44 Jorge Serapis I was here before flexiprims! *shakes his cane!*

15:45 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) gets a call from Grasshopper Defamation League

15:46 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Yup
15:46 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Sometimes we even see some stories
15:46 Wordsmith Jarvinen With that open for general questions, announcements, comments, confusions, (non-exhaustive list)
15:46 Gronk Seriman Oh. By the way, the Pinball machine was unplugged. It works fine now.
15:46 Phrynne oh, good.
15:47 Jorge Serapis (Does that make me a dodecagenarian?)
15:47 Phrynne (it's in the Railroad Station attic, I think)
15:47 Kara2016 giggles.
15:47 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) the bowling lanes are still open
15:47 Phrynne decides to move the lunch tables away from the lane
15:48 Wordsmith Jarvinen Questions?
15:48 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Suggestions on a name for this years fundraiser? or just the same as last year?
15:48 Katrina Viktoria Black (katrinaviktoriablack) You spoke about "Inventory Classes", when are they and what does that class consist of besides the obvious?
15:49 BigM27 What is the fund raiser's theme?

15:51 Ingo (tkb158) nods

15:53 Kara2016 smiles brightly.
15:54 Wordsmith Jarvinen As it happens, Samm is moving her building class to Tuesday night. I may move Inventory to Saturday night.
15:54 Wordsmith Jarvinen After next Thursday.
15:54 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) .. Saturday night's all right for building....
15:54 Wordsmith Jarvinen BigM, did you have a question?
15:54 Katrina Viktoria Black (katrinaviktoriablack) I apologize, it has come to my attention that I misspoke. Sorry, about the rezz day confusion.
15:55 BigM27 No sir it slipped my mind
