15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome to this week's Caledon Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting; all are welcome except for those coming with the intent of misbehaving in a disruptive manner. Non-disruptive misbehavior is at your discretion. Transcripts will be posted after the meeting.
15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen You can catch the transcript, Pantera.
15:04 Pantera (superpantera) I'll do
15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/qna/qna_index.php
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen Reports first. Can you start Phrynne?
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen (and ty Kara)
15:05 Phrynne I have one item for today.
15:06 Phrynne As you know, we have the Advent Calendar gift-giving from Dec. 1-Dec. 24 each year. We are now starting to make plans for this year's Advent Calendar -- but we need a theme.
15:06 Phrynne Themes govern what people make for us. We will accept gifts that are not matching the theme, but each year it's good to have mostly things that do match.
15:07 Phrynne Past themes have been holidays (all of the end-of-the-year holidays in any culture), steampunk (this last year) and things that last beyond Dec. 31.
15:07 Phrynne So, I am asking all of you to send me on notecards (please) your ideas for themes. My assistant, Star, and I will look at them and come up with something that will be the theme for this year.
15:08 Phrynne This is your chance to suggest something that will make a big difference to Caledon Oxbridge -- we had something like 3000 visitors this December for the Calendar, so it affects a lot of people beyond just us.
15:08 Phrynne And that's it from me for today. I look forward to seeing your ideas!
15:08 Phrynne looks back at Word
15:09 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea, what have you for today?
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) To get the fund raiser season started out. and yes, I'm running a bit late. There will be a Belly dance event in the sunny pavillion in the Oxbridge Village march 15th
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I'm looking for a Dj and donations for give aways at the event
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) so more on that a little later in the week
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) other than that, not much.
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thanks, Andrea.
15:14 Wordsmith Jarvinen While I was away for a RL conference, last Friday through Monday, I missed the VWBPE exhibitor deadline. but contacted Beth Ghostraven who contacted Phelan Cornmal, and we got the last exhibitor parcel. Now I just have to write up a summary and title and pass it on to Phelan and have the build complete by 31 March.
15:15 WOLF (w0lfclawzzz) why is that bell so loud
15:15 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) So we can hear it
15:15 WOLF (w0lfclawzzz) ok
15:15 Phrynne It's on top of this building
15:15 WOLF (w0lfclawzzz) ok sorry didn't know
15:15 WOLF (w0lfclawzzz) thx
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've got the French translations for the tutorial downloaded onto my PC to place onto the graphics, have the Spanish about 3/4 done and some of that is also already on the graphics under Google drive. So, with no travel on my schedule for a couple months, that's going forward.
15:17 Gronk Seriman Yay!
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen And with that, Open for general question and comments.
