Welcome to this week's Caledon Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting. All are welcome except for those with the intent to misbehave in ways counter to the purpose of this meeting. Transcripts will be posted after the meeting. |

DiegoPachecoValdez |
hello |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, can you start? |
| 15:03 |
Phrynne |
The Advent Calendar is open! |
| 15:03 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Yay |
| 15:03 |
Gronk Seriman |
Yaaay! |
| 15:03 |
Phrynne |
Gifts are being put out each day, and will be through the 24th. |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
Tell your friends -- hey, tell your enemies. |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
(just not the ones who cause trouble.) |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
So Oxbridge is very busy and people are there who may not have been there in years, if at all. |
| 15:04 |
|
Lady Aev (aevalle.galicia) was about to ask if that meant some of the gifties were splodey. |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
If you see someone looking confused, please tell them to follow the bright red arrows and the footlights (luminaria.) |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
Lady Aev, if anything explodes, that was not something I put in a box. |
| 15:05 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Unless the gift blows your mind but that's not Phrynne's fault |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
I will keep the boxes out there until Jan. 1, so that people who were unable to get to all the days or who were delayed will get all the gifts. |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
Any questions about the Calendar, please contact me. |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
or about any of the gifts. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
And that's all I've got for today. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
or today. |
| 15:06 |

Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) can relate |
| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Ms stereo nacht is doing a Christmas tree contest in with the fundraiser, and locations for it will be on Stars land and Cynthia's downs and property I have in southend, so it will be one long stretch. I believe cynthia is setting up a train to move across it and special rides and things to see. |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Star maybe doing things as well on her property. |
| 15:16 |
|
star (astarynite) nods |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The tooth was fine until last night sadly |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you, Andrea, for your report and much more. |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
My week a been a bit of this and of that. |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The first sci-fi, short-story discussion under the CVL-Caledon literary group to be held in Caledon will be the 13th at 5pm in Southend. It suddenly being December with snow on the ground I made a canopy over the seating. |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
This brings a new group of avatars into Caledon where they will hopefully look around. |
| 15:24 |
Gronk Seriman |
What is CVL? |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Looked over visitor statistics last night, I noticed the language data were not being totaled. The original data has the information and the totals were originally being done, but I need to look at the offworld script and then reprocess the data. |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Community Virtual Library. |
| 15:25 |
Gronk Seriman |
Ah! Thank you. |

| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've also looked at some formats for acquiring the contents of the Oxbridge Library into a transferable form. |
| 15:26 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
*reindeer |
| 15:27 |
Jorge Serapis |
*waves hello!* |
| 15:27 |
DiegoPachecoValdez |
what do you mean transferable form? |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
While I've received an old catalog of the library system from JJ Drinkwater, apparently a rumor has occurred that he asked me to catalog the Caledon libraries. Not true, and that was being confirmed just at the start of this meeting. |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Hi, Jorge. |
| 15:29 |
|
Gronk Seriman smiles and waves to Jorge |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Diego, in a format that can be both machine read and where the links are usable within inworld scripting. |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And right before the Advent Calendar started, there was some emergency triage required on the Gazebo under which the gifts are placed. Some more still to be done there. |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I think that's about it for me for the week. |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Elfbiter still has his writers' meeting Thursday's at 11 am. |
| 15:32 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

Yup. Intending to put some writing prompts to Oxbridge Guardian as well. |
| 15:33 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The Pub in the village has been decorated for Christmas, and the ballroom skybox has been decorated. If you wish to have a event there, In wither place,. Let me know and if someone with permissions to change the stream is needed. I will see what can be done, when is a important factor |
| 15:34 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |

| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |

Lady Lyndon's only experience with Photography has been taking Teddy Bear's class Photo Salon for about 8 months and I envy her work |
| 15:41 |
Phrynne |
Traditionally, people earn money at jobs -- which pay very poorly -- or by selling what they make. |
| 15:41 |
badgerofzen |
sign up to be a meat shield on my tin can ;) |
| 15:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Diego, people mostly just buy Linden $s off of the website, Diego. The rest of the economy is mostly Artisan, making things that avatars will buy. There are ways for getting small amounts of $Ls. Others may be more familiar with those than I am. |
| 15:42 |
DiegoPachecoValdez |
alright |
| 15:42 |
star (astarynite) |
there is fishing, collecting crystals before monsters get you, but it is all very small amounts of $L |
| 15:42 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Primtionary, some trivia games |
| 15:43 |
star (astarynite) |
yes that is 25L if you get the answer correct |
| 15:43 |
star (astarynite) |
the first to get it correct |
| 15:43 |
Ingo (tkb158) |
I usually don't even know the prompt, much less can guess it. |
| 15:44 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Some places do give a Linden or two so newcomers. I think less than month old people. |
| 15:44 |
Gronk Seriman |
Carl Metropolitan's Trivia game used to pay out. I'm sad nobody took up the game. |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
On the other hand, there are places giving freebies and group gifts, and some particularly as Advent Calendar gifts. |
| 15:46 |
DiegoPachecoValdez |
like the ones here at Caledon? |
| 15:46 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There's a at least one list of places doing so. |
| 15:46 |
star (astarynite) |
I have three lists, please msg me and i can send them to you |
| 15:46 |
Batista Corleone (batistacorleone) |
list s of what? |
| 15:46 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
ty again, Star. |
| 15:47 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Places giving advent gifts. |
| 15:47 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other topics? |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If there's nothing more to be raised.... |
| 15:49 |
Phrynne |
Be aware, many places that are listing as Advent Calendars either require membership in their group or money. |
| 15:49 |
Phrynne |
We require neither. |
| 15:49 |
Phrynne |
And as long as I am dean, we never will. |
| 15:50 |
star (astarynite) |
yes, some are veryt expensive, I do not to go those so my list of places to visit is much smaller |
| 15:50 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Although a smattering of clothes is appreciated when fetching gifts. |
| 15:50 |
Phrynne |
Yes, clothing is appreciated. We do not have the facilities to deal with hypothermia. |
| 15:51 |
Lady Aev (aevalle.galicia) |
Unfortunately with the clothing sold by many places on the grid, that's exactly what you can expect--hypothermia :) |
| 15:52 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Truth. |
| 15:52 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:52 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Especially if your body sticks out of those mesh clothes... |
| 15:53 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Then we are adjourned. |
| 15:53 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thanks you all for coming and participating. |
