14:56 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Quite a bit of lag
14:58 RainyDayRecess Hello everyone ;)
14:59 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hi Rainy
15:00 Ember (emberell) Ah, evening, Gronk!
15:00 Gronk Seriman Hello, Ember!
15:01 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Caladon says Hi
15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome to this week's Caledon Oxbridge Deans' Q&A
15:01 vyctoriac hi
15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen This is an open meeting; All are welcome unless individual mis-behavior requires reconsideration.
15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen The meeting transcript will be posted after the meeting. http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/qna/qna_index.php
15:02 Gronk Seriman ...and NOT before.
15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen That's Right!
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne, what do you have for today?
15:03 Phrynne I hope you all have noticed that the season has changed, and Oxbridge is now in the season of Halloween!
15:04 Phrynne Most of the decorating is done, though I may still scatter a few skeletons around, or persuade some bats to fly in various places.
15:04 Phrynne That's the major news from Commons this week, I think.
15:05 Phrynne I did try to set it up so the ground fog will not bother either the plaza or the tutorial -- if you notice it bothering you, please go to your Preferences, and the Graphics tab, and turn off Particles. That will fix it.
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen And then there's the poor person who splatted on the sidewalk.
15:05 Phrynne no, no, he's coming up out of the sidewalk.
15:05 Phrynne He should actually be coming up out of a grave, but it didn't work out right.
15:06 Phrynne If he'd splatted there'd be a lot more extraneous ... pieces.
15:06 Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) Kara2016 gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway.
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Ah...
15:06 RainyDayRecess TY Kara ;)
15:06 Phrynne whispers (there's only one copy of him.)
15:06 Ember (emberell) HelloHello, Andrea
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen ty Kara, much appreciated.
15:06 Kara2016 Smiles brightly.
15:06 Phrynne The alternative was to have him emerge somewhere in a building, which I thought would not be appreciated.
15:07 Wordsmith Jarvinen While Andrea settles in, I'll give my (brief) report.
15:07 Wordsmith Jarvinen Tier is paid until the beginning of January and stipend payments are done through yesterday.
15:08 Wordsmith Jarvinen After all that, we had about 268k $L in the account, which is a comfortable start as long as normal contributions come in during the quarter.
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've started the process of archiving data and pushing it into the cloud, bringing things up to date with current backups. There's still a good bit to do.
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen I left the sign behind me up. It's full perm and can be bought for 0 $L.
15:12 Wordsmith Jarvinen Working on the gatcha/freebie giver for the fundraiser 20 October.
15:12 Wordsmith Jarvinen On to you, Andrea.
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) The COU fundraiser Halloween build should be finished by the weekend if everything goes well. Ms Lysana FireBride will be doing the after noon dance and I still don't have anyone for the evening event. The DJ I oped to have has not been on a week or so.
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) The Ride area should be finished tonight and I can send out that lm
15:14 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) A donation coin will set up by the gate. I may have to replace the walls there as the sculpts the graveyard walls are made off will not rezz most of the time
15:14 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Could just be me, That will have to checked out
15:15 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I've been held up today as i found stuff for the village visiting different shops and Halloween places
15:15 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) My burning man build ended up being 2 builds and a third needs to be finished this week as well
15:15 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) As for Tuesday night
15:16 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) The Dj has been out sick, So I do not know if He will be here Tuesday or not. I will have to play it by ear.
15:17 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I'm not planning any auctions or sales this fundraiser. They take time to set up and product. So this fundraiser will be donation coin only.
15:18 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I do anticipate having a freebie to give out and a pin to send to those who do donate
15:18 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Should there be a delay,They may go out after the event
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen (Like today's transcript)
15:19 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I will be updating the notices as things are ready for visitors. there will be a build in the village to visit, A monster alley to traverse followed by a cron field maze to get through.
15:19 Frigid Cryotank "corn" too.
15:20 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hm typos
15:20 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) cornfield
15:21 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) sorry i'm late the machine at the laundry mat failed to start and my towels would not dry, any way, I have had one person send me nc saying she would like to help, if you would like to head up a extension of the fund raiser to help raise funds, I can provide you with a location and prims to do it.
15:22 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Please send me nc as Ims get capped.
15:22 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I will then speak to the Chancellor about it.
15:22 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) looks back to Wordsmith
