14:59 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome Agatha
14:59 Agatha Macbeth Good evening
15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome to this week's Caledon Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting;
15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen all are welcome apart from those who intend to misbehave in a disruptive manner.
15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen Non-disruptive misbehavior is at your discretion.
15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen Transcripts will be posted after the meeting.

15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne, anything you wish to discuss?
15:02 Phrynne Oh, two things.
15:03 Phrynne One, we're working on the annual update to the Faculty Information Kit. If you have written a notecard that is in the kit, please update it and send it to me.
15:03 Phrynne Second, yes, this is not my usual pseudo-Victorian garb -- but it is an example of what can be worn at Oxbridge while still following the Behavior Guidelines on what's covered and not.
15:03 Phrynne And that's all for now.
15:04 Phrynne looks back at Word
15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen It's neon-Victorian.
15:04 Agatha Macbeth refrains from pussy jokes
15:04 Phrynne It's neon-victorious.
15:04 Kara2016 giggles.
15:04 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) :-)
15:04 Phrynne It dates from the original Alley Cats Alley, where there used to be dances every Monday.
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen thinks of the theme "Now we are free" from "The Gladiator"
15:05 Agatha Macbeth ^.^
15:05 lovejoy2199 I remember that place.
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thank you, Phrynne.
15:05 Kara2016 long before my time.
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea?
15:06 Gronk Seriman Patty Poppy pitched practically perfect parties.
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) We have 326,543 $L in the account today which gives us a little buffer on tier and staff stipends. Thanks to Cynthia FArshore; we took in 6420 $L at The Goblin cave fundraiser
15:06 Phrynne *purrs*
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Next Sunday we will be having a 50s themed fundraiser at the Silver King diner.
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) 50's clothing recommended but not required.
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) The hours will be 4 to 6.
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) A notice will go out tonight as well as a sign board in the plaza
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Spent what little free time I had at Relay this weekend.
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) The ACTs team, which includes Caledon made a great build there
15:09 Kara2016 Smiles very brightly.
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Tuesday night Dj Piper will be DJ at the House of Steam in the Village starting at 6 pm
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I'm taking a break from building, so we will be at existing builds for awhile
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen I'm glad you're going the easy route for now.
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Mr Skysmith has a writers meeting on Thursdays which I am sure He will be happy to comment on. Oh I have a builder helping to make a special build for me that will be for all of caledon, I plan to add onto it across the region
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) looks back to Wordsmith
15:12 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thank you Andrea.
15:14 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) :-)
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen As Andrea mentioned, we have a surplus over my nominal buffer; a 24k $L surplus. And, for whatever reason, this is RFL weekend rather than the former weekend in July. That apparently shortens the RFL fundraising season by a month. So rather than being 20k $L down we are 20k $L up.
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen And I'm a lot more comfortable this year than last.
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen Congratulations to Andrea and those who have assisted her.
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen Rather than working on an SL16B build, I'll be working on the tutorial translations. I believe the payload for Oxbridge is much larger in that.
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen With that, open for questions, comments, and announcements.
15:20 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything?
15:20 Ember (emberell) You guys are doing great work, as always!
15:20 Kara2016 Smiles brightly.
15:20 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) any no copy items you might have that you would like to donate to the fundraiser. please send to me thanks
15:20 Ember (emberell) nods
15:21 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Caledonian nights will be making some changes soon. see notices as they come out.
15:21 Ember (emberell) If I can be of any help with that, do let me know
15:22 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) will do
15:22 Kara2016 If anyone want s too go too the RFL event, i have a note card with land marks for all teams.
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen Ahh. One other thing I should mention. Carl Metropolitan has updated the exploring SL and exploring steamlands posters down below.
15:23 Agatha Macbeth Hope he's okay
15:23 Ember (emberell) Oh I saw him doing that earlier. There are some good landmarks in that
15:24 Wordsmith Jarvinen He seems to be doing better, but is staying with helping in low-key ways right now.
15:25 Agatha Macbeth nods and smiles
15:25 Wordsmith Jarvinen And, with that,
15:25 Wordsmith Jarvinen We are adjourned.
15:26 Gronk Seriman Thank you, Deans!
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thank you for coming and participating.
15:26 Phrynne thanks for coming
15:26 Ember (emberell) Thank you for your time and hard work, as always!
