Phrynne, can you start please? |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
I have three items today... |
| 15:04 |
Orange Planer |
Are any of them edible? |
| 15:04 |
Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) |

| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
First, I want to thank everyone who came to our two-part Halloween fundraiser yesterday. You all raised 22, 241 L, and I am grateful. |
| 15:04 |
RainyDayRecess |
TY Kara ;) |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
and now a bit more, thanks to Kara! |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
ty, Kara |
| 15:05 |
Kara2016 |
Smiles brightly. |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
This money goes to pay for tier for Oxbridge and class development and a small bit for professors for their work in teaching and a little for landscaping. But mostly to keep Oxbridge above water -- and I am very grateful for that. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
Second, we have a new apprentice tutor -- Sulley Daviau. Please welcome her and help her if she needs it. |
| 15:06 |

Thank you Wandering Elf ;) |
| 15:06 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(the deans are not gill equipped) |
| 15:06 |
The Wandering Elf (viandanteduepuntozero) |
unfortunately I lost your foundrising day |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
And third, I seem to remember that there have been some requests for a faculty lounge... |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
We now have one! |
| 15:07 |
Kara2016 |
wow. |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome, Sully. (my TP is always open; there is no door to my office) |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
Jorge Serapis has created a luxurious lounge for us in the tower of the College of Avatar Motion -- it overlooks the plaza, and is somewhere that staff members can work on things during quiet times while keeping an eye on the place. |
| 15:08 |
Gronk Seriman |
Niiice! |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
I have sent out the LM in the COU notices. It does not have a teleporter so that we do not get inundated by visitors. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
It is the room at the top of the front tower. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
And that is what I have for today. |
| 15:08 |
RainyDayRecess |
Thank you so much Jorge! :) |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
Jorge, did you want to say a few words? |
| 15:08 |
Jorge Serapis |
Very welcome! |
| 15:08 |
Orange Planer |
That's two, but not a few. |
| 15:08 |
Gronk Seriman |
Thank you, Jorge! |
| 15:09 |
Jorge Serapis |
The muse was upon me, and she demanded I create. :-) I've asked Word about possibly creating a group access only TP invention, and I think he may be able to help there if the LM doesn't work. |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yay! Andrea made it. |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
/me attempts to ignore the inadvertent teleport. |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
TY Jorge, and yes, such a TP is only a small modification to the one I have to get up here. |
| 15:12 |
Jorge Serapis |
Mazel tov, then. |
| 15:12 |
Orange Planer |
The mews have it, then. |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea, conscious enough to report after last night? |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Nods. |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(and the night before building) |
| 15:14 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
We raised some money at the Fundraiser yesterday. Given how many events were going on at the time we did did well. The folks that came dug deep into their pockets |
| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Next major event is going to be the Christmas fund raiser, but it will need to be done |
| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
the first week of December to avoid scheduling conflicts |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
more on that later. |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I will be calling for help on that one. |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
We will needs several positions filled |
| 15:17 |
Orange Planer |
/me sings The Beatles "Help" song |
| 15:17 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
and Ms stereo has a upcoming fundraiser of her own |
| 15:17 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
which is why I don't plan anything in Nov itself |
| 15:17 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I will be mentioning more on this soon |
| 15:18 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I think you have a estimate on what the final total might have been from the 2 events |
| 15:18 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
. Looks back to Wordsmith |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've already talked with Miss Stereo about doing the poster for her event, since it does benefit COU. |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Nods |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
It is a COU charity event |
| 15:20 |
Cup of fresh ground coffee |
whispers: Now THAT I needed! |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The total for what was taken in yesterday and just now is L$10,650. The amount on the coin is for the month to date. |
| 15:21 |
Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) |
secondlife:///app/agent/f9a34bb8-4b61-4f05-8e93-dba47f2c1e30/about gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 15:21 |
Gronk Seriman |
Great! |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A little low, but with a lot of competition yesterday. The good news is that we started with a surplus, so the balance is L$286177. |
| 15:21 |
RainyDayRecess |
TY Planer ;) |
| 15:22 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
So another good raiser at Christmas should give us what we need. |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That's relative to about 107k $L per quarter.required. |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The next tier is due at the beginning of January. |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And, as Andrea just said. |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've more than normal pulls in RL for the next couple of weeks and last week, so not much Oxbridge work last week. |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I am doing an adjustment script for sitting avatars, and the one Jorge mentioned. |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm also close to being done with a meeting place for the sci-fi discussions when held in Caledon, which also could be used for other meetings. That's at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Caledon%20SouthEnd/204/122/24 |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It still needs a few trees, and some slight adjustments to the seating. |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That and a few donation coins placed and coming in to look at a newly replaced lecture hall with a few changes to group role permissions, pretty much made my week. |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
With that, open for questions and comments. |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Orange, I haven't forgotten about looking over what you presented on communication and seeing what graphics I might produce for it. |
| 15:29 |
Orange Planer |
Unfortunately, I've lost the chats for that session. If anybody who was present still has them, I would be grateful for a copy. |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'll get you one. |
| 15:30 |
Orange Planer |
That will give me what I need to get moving. |
| 15:30 |
The Wandering Elf (viandanteduepuntozero) |
Time to go ... Good night people... |

Gronk Seriman |
How are we set for Prim count on the Campus? Is there space to grow? |
| 15:32 |
Phrynne |
We are at 1150, give or take a few. |
| 15:32 |
Phrynne |
We can't really go below 1000. |
| 15:32 |
Phrynne |
It will get better when I pick up the builds and skeletons on Nov. 1 |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Used or available? |
| 15:32 |
Phrynne |
and should go back to about 1400, 1500 available. |
| 15:32 |
Phrynne |
it is now 1150 available |
| 15:33 |
Phrynne |
And, as usual, I am juggling trees a bit to make sure we have the ones with the lowest LI out there. |
| 15:33 |
Gronk Seriman |
I ask because I have always thought the College Towers were wasted spaces, and a place to put exhibits, office, whatnot. |
| 15:34 |
Phrynne |
Some past (and present) deans have had offices in various places in the towers. |
| 15:34 |
Phrynne |
but there hasn't been any group area before. |
| 15:34 |
Phrynne |
Though no pinball machine, yet. Need to find one with very low LI. |
| 15:35 |
Gronk Seriman |
Ha! |
| 15:35 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
:-P |
| 15:36 |
Phrynne |
Ditto the pool table. |
| 15:36 |
Gronk Seriman |
I was just thinking as how some Colleges are getting cramped, there could be a "See more!" telepad that takes people up off the floor. |
| 15:37 |
Jorge Serapis |
*shouldn't be surprised at the amount of adult pinball machines on the marketplace* |
| 15:37 |
Phrynne |
but we'd need a non-adult one.. or a non-Adult one. |
| 15:38 |
Jorge Serapis |
IKR? |
| 15:38 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Steampunk one could suffice? |
| 15:38 |
Phrynne |
/me is remembering some of the wilder pinball machines from the distant vague past, when dinosaurs roamed the bars and put quarters on the machines. |
| 15:39 |
Jorge Serapis |
Firepower. Best multiball machine EVER. |
| 15:39 |
Phrynne |
If you find a very low LI version... |
| 15:39 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
/me was not that fond of pinball machines |
| 15:40 |
Phrynne |
A pool table would take some furniture moving |
| 15:40 |
Mariya (mariya.obolensky) |
Must dash -- ta, all! |

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Multi-Pinball/1485739 |
| 15:41 |
Phrynne |
I will look at it. |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any Sauria for the lounge? |
| 15:43 |
Orange Planer |
Errr? |
| 15:43 |
Gronk Seriman |
And a reliable coffee machine? |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Sauria include lizards, and since it's a lounge...... |
| 15:44 |
Agatha Macbeth |
>.< |
| 15:44 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
has a sleezstack in inv somewhere i think |
| 15:44 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
or a gater |
| 15:45 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I'd rather have one of Phrynne's tea pots |
| 15:45 |
Phrynne |
I am hoping to finish a coffeepot for the Advent Calendar. |
| 15:46 |
Phrynne |
Also, I guarantee you, it is not the Hotel Lounge California -- you *can* check out and leave. |
| 15:46 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, we want our staff to be able to return to duty. |
| 15:47 |
Orange Planer |
Are you sure? |
| 15:47 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I suppose, with Andrea's support, we could include free passes to the plunge. |
| 15:48 |
Phrynne |
There isn't such a thing as a multi-region teleporter, is there? |
| 15:48 |
Jorge Serapis |
Aye. |
| 15:48 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Ask Scotty |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There's the system teleporter. |
| 15:48 |
Phrynne |
It's a little big to fit into the lounge |
| 15:49 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
nods feel free |
| 15:49 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
still has the float rings |
| 15:49 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And it isn't impossible to script one. |
| 15:49 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I need to get back to that build. |
| 15:49 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
add a few more things |
| 15:49 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
some plants etc |
| 15:50 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
May get Phrynnes help with that |
| 15:50 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Could even put a platform over the water and use it as a dance venue. |
| 15:50 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
a self retracting one would be nice. |
| 15:50 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

This is the Q&A that I mentioned earlier. |

Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. A meeting but not exactly a class. |
| 15:55 |
Orange Planer |
But it is about education. |
