OMG, there's a Phrynne already here. |

Phrynne |
I could leave ... |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Please don't. |
| 14:51 |
Phrynne |
Wasn't planning on it. |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Hi Larky. |
| 14:52 |
Phrynne |
Turned out the place that I had to go to for the event was hard to get to but very easy to return from. |
| 14:52 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Hey, Word. |

Phrynne |

Loppy (lopsided) |
oh no griefing here ... do i need to hush my mouth?? |
| 14:57 |
Kara2016 |
Your doing a good job, Larky. |
| 14:58 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
I'm just joking, Loppy. Gotta have a good excuse for weapons among civilized folk. |
| 14:58 |
Loppy (lopsided) |
*elfbiter! she whispers |
| 14:58 |
Loppy (lopsided) |
well of course Badass |
| 14:58 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome, Loppy and you're fine |

Loppy (lopsided) |

| 14:58 |
Loppy (lopsided) |

Welcome to this week's Caledon Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting; |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
all are welcome apart from those who intend to misbehave in a disruptive manner. |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Non-disruptive misbehavior is at your discretion. |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Transcripts will be posted after the meeting. |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, have anything for today? |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
Not that much, but a little. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
I'm continuing to work on updating the Faculty Info Kit, little by little. Larky has gone through many of the older notecards and made notes or updated them, and I have to finish reviewing that as well as my own rewrites. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
I've been in the Plaza helping newcomers and returnees and visitors at various hours. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
Also, I wanted to mention something that has come up in conversation recently: why we ask men to wear shirts. |
| 15:07 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz) snickers rudely. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
There are several reasons, but the biggest two are these: because Oxbridge is part of Victorian Steampunk Caledon, and in the Victorian era men wore shirts... |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
and the other reason is that Oxbridge is an egalitarian place. We try to treat everyone well. It would be unfair in the extreme to require only women to cover up. |
| 15:08 |
|
Agatha Macbeth ponders the alternative |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
So, we ask men to cover up a bit also. I'm willing to accept a vest, an open jacket, or a t-shirt as signs of trying, at least. |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
Linden Labs says that nudity isn't appropriate in General regions; we don't get that many streakers and nudists, but they do occur. |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
But it is ultimately a matter of fairness. |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The alternative isn't allowed by LL, Agatha. |
| 15:10 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Ah |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
Furries and nonhuman avatars who have humanoid ... delicate bits, shall we say, are also required to cover them. |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It also saves on cleaning sweat from the benches. |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
And -- in case someone asks, because this happened last week -- no, transparent clothing doesn't work. |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
Yes. |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
I have to clean enough around the campus; I do not want to have to polish the benches. |
| 15:11 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Nor transparent... attachments |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
Oh... men who are "equipped" need to disequip themselves at Oxbridge, immediately. |
| 15:12 |
Phrynne |
and that includes invisible appendages that can, in some cases, be used to 'flash' people. |
| 15:12 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Andrea's ban hammer may be painful folks. You need to listen to this! |
| 15:12 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Not to mention that of Tasha |
| 15:12 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz) subsides, although not meekly. |
| 15:12 |
|
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) polishes his ejection boots |
| 15:12 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
heee |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
looks up at attention |
| 15:12 |
Phrynne |
We may not all dress like Victorians, but we do try to dress as would be appropriate for ordinary dress while going about Real Life ordinary business -- something appropriate for being with either your grandmother or your grandchildren. |
| 15:13 |
Phrynne |
(or others of similar ages, you get the idea.) |
| 15:13 |
Caroline Walker (rawumber) |
once I was wearing a short top and shorts... people told me to cover up, but is it technically banned to wear a crop top here? |
| 15:13 |
Phrynne |
And that's what I've got for today. |
| 15:13 |
Phrynne |
It depends on how short the crop top is. It shouldn't be showing your breasts to the general public. |
| 15:13 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
As long as your breasts, or parts of them don't show, a crop top is fine. |
| 15:13 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Or bounce |
| 15:14 |
Phrynne |
I am not going to get into the Great Nipple Debate. |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That grandmother bit is about the only guidance LL gives, and seems to ignore that some of the grandmothers aren't tame at all. |
| 15:14 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Aww |
| 15:14 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Thank you, Wordsmith! Seriously! |
| 15:14 |
Agatha Macbeth |
True dat |
| 15:14 |
Phrynne |
There are many, many beautiful outfits that are appropriate for Moderate regions but just too skimpy for General ones. |
| 15:15 |
Phrynne |
And when you think about it, it also comes down to a matter of respect -- respect for Oxbridge. |
| 15:15 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
undershirts and colorful bras can do wonders. |
| 15:15 |
Phrynne |
Second Life has thousands of local cultures and local customs; wearing clothing is one of ours. |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I was thinking of that point, Phrynne. Not taken beyond some common sense, but there. |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
HIya Carl. |
| 15:16 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Hello Mr Carl |
| 15:16 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Local rules and all that |
| 15:16 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Hi |
| 15:17 |
Phrynne |
If someone says they don't have clothing and they're still in their newcomer avatar -- they do, in the Library in their Inventory, and you can help them to use that. |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And Oxbridge is something of a port, locally Victorian but expecting avatars from many places and times. |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Hi Carl, Welcome |
| 15:17 |
Phrynne |
that's what I've got for today. Hi Carl! |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you, Phrynne. |
| 15:17 |
Eva Gaelle (jucastt) |
hello, Mr. Metropolitan. |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea? |
| 15:18 |
Eva Gaelle (jucastt) |
hello, everyone. good afternoon. |
| 15:18 |
|
Gronk Seriman smiles and waves to Carl. |
| 15:18 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Hi Carl, Eva |
| 15:18 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Good points, Phrynne, in spite of my irreverence. |
| 15:18 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I have been tied up with the USO 4th of July build that will be used this coming Tuesday night from 6 to 8. Everyone is invited to the event. There will be fireworks at 7. |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
so everyone can have time to see it |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
a short show. |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
We will be having an art show as a fundraiser a little later in the month |
| 15:20 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I'll be setting the build today and tomorrow maybe |
| 15:20 |
Carl Metropolitan |
An art show? Where do you get your artworks? |
| 15:20 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Due to rl time constraints this month. I may ask for someone to help with the contact and distribution of the easels for the show. |
| 15:21 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Carl , anyone can show there art. |
| 15:21 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
their |
| 15:21 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
certain guidelines need to be followed |
| 15:21 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
as it is a event in Caledon and a fundraiser for the COU |
| 15:22 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
There will be more on this soon |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Held on a moderate sim, Andrea? |
| 15:22 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I did one of these a couple of years ago. It went well |
| 15:22 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Yes in the Village |
| 15:22 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
A park with a dance area will be set up |
| 15:22 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
possible auction items |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You can use moderate rating standards then, those who are underage won't be there. |
| 15:23 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Ok, |
| 15:23 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
So it is a opportunity for resident s to show their work. |
| 15:24 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
A few details need to be worked out. |
| 15:24 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
In the original show, I sent out 2 different shaped easels |
| 15:24 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Am I correct in understanding that other than Oxbridge itself, there are no G-rated areas in Caledon? |
| 15:24 |
Phrynne |
you are correct. |
| 15:24 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Sounds good Andrea |
| 15:24 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
that way we had size conformity |
| 15:25 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I may change that this year so the artist can sell copies of their work |
| 15:25 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
copies |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Correct Carl. there were a few others, but they exist no more. |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea, you might have a few pedestals, for those who might have sculptures to display. |
| 15:26 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
So more on that, I don't usually cram them all together in one tight group, and I try to setup a park environment |
| 15:26 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
nods |
| 15:27 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
It may be hat we can branch off to others that might want to host some of the show, and we would have tp arches in the park. |
| 15:27 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
We will just have to see how many people wan to participate |
| 15:27 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I'll send out a notice tonight on it |
| 15:27 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
There will be a dance on the final night |
| 15:28 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
. If interested in helping, send me a notecard please. |
| 15:28 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I need to get the build setup hen we can see |
| 15:28 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
That's all for me. Working on Burning man and the advent gift |
| 15:29 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
looks back to Wordsmith |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Okay. There is a time later in July during which I'm away at a conference and a separate span during which Phrynne is getting in a much deserved vacation, but there's time after those still in July. |
| 15:31 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
We may spend most of the month setting up and go into august |
| 15:31 |
Kara2016 |
Smiles brightly. |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If you look at the class Calendar on the right wall, You'll see something new on Saturday night at 7 pm. |
| 15:32 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
---Saturday night's all right for..... |
| 15:32 |
RainyDayRecess |
That sounds like fun |
| 15:33 |
Gronk Seriman |
Oh, nice! |
| 15:33 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Yeah, Samm! |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Samm says they are not contests as such, but opportunities to build and discuss. That's in the notecard and also in the web version of the schedule. |
| 15:35 |
Gronk Seriman |
She suggests a word to build to depict, and once time is up, everybody can look around and see how everybody faired with the word. |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Carl, I checked the posters on the wall by the entrance area. They are good for most of the way across the building now. |
| 15:36 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Thank you |
| 15:36 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I zoomed way out on them when I made them and did not see any issues. |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Do you want to talk about your work? |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The transitions in LOD depend, btw, on your RenderVolume setting. I try to keep mine at newbie default. |
| 15:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Carl has been updating some of our posters and freebies, things that too ofter get postponed. So it's wonderful help. |
| 15:42 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Yay |
| 15:42 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
oh lost Rainey |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
She could have crashed. |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
With that, open for general questions, comments, announcements, ... |
| 15:43 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I am sorry. I was talking to Phrynne in IM about freebies |
| 15:43 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Still hosting the Writers' Meeting in Thursdays |
| 15:43 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I would be happy to talk about my work and any ways to improve it. |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Go ahead, Carl. |
| 15:44 |
Carl Metropolitan |
No. I just need to reset my LOD to newbie default and go look at the web posters. I want to make sure that I did not screw up. Mine is set at 4.0. |
| 15:44 |
Carl Metropolitan |
That never occurred to me. |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I think the default is 1.25 |
| 15:45 |
Gronk Seriman |
Please define "LOD" |
| 15:45 |
Gronk Seriman |
? |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Level of Detail. |
| 15:45 |
Gronk Seriman |
Oh. |
| 15:46 |
Carl Metropolitan |
So do I need to redo the posters there for a 1.25 LOD viewer? |
| 15:46 |
Agatha Macbeth |
I keep mine at about 3 usually |
| 15:46 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Mesh has 4 possible levels of detail, that are used at successive distances away from an object, depending on the object's size. |
| 15:46 |
Kara2016 |
<..never though about LOD |
| 15:46 |
Gronk Seriman |
Does that change depending on what level Graphics you choose? Like Avatar Complexity? |
| 15:47 |
Myst (myssticall) |
If you are set at low, it goes down to 1.5 default. |
| 15:48 |
Agatha Macbeth |
WB Rainy |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The distances for the transitions depend on the object's size in general and in LI costing, but the viewing of the transitions is affected individually by the RenderVolume setting. |
| 15:49 |
RainyDayRecess |
Thank you Agatha ;) |
| 15:49 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
By a size of about 40 m, only the top level LOD is used. |
| 15:50 |
|
Gronk Seriman sorta understands, but still felt something wizz by over her head. |
| 15:51 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That's a discussion all in itself. Perhaps something for down at the plaza. |
| 15:52 |
Agatha Macbeth |
WB Eva too |
| 15:52 |
Eva Gaelle (jucastt) |
thank you, ms. Macbeth |
| 15:52 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Just let me clarify one thing; do I need to redo the signs for 1.25 LOD default? Or are they okay now? |
| 15:53 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
For me, they worked for most of the way across the entry building, which should be okay. |
| 15:55 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Okay |
| 15:55 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Thank you |
| 15:56 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else you want to say on freebies etc, Carl? |
| 15:56 |
Carl Metropolitan |
No |
| 15:56 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
thanks for doing all that, Carl |
| 15:57 |
Carl Metropolitan |
You are welcome. |
| 15:57 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any other matters to discuss? |
| 15:57 |
Agatha Macbeth |
How are things with the Advent calendar? |
| 15:58 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Questions? |
| 15:58 |
Phrynne |
It's in process. I am still accepting gifts if anyone has something to donate. |
| 15:58 |
Agatha Macbeth |
OK |
| 15:58 |
Phrynne |
The gift would have to fit a General rating, and would be from Oxbridge to the recipient -- no advertising allowed. |
| 15:59 |
Phrynne |
The theme this year is "Vintage". |
| 15:59 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Good theme |
| 16:00 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 16:00 |
Eva Gaelle (jucastt) |
i have a baroque furniture set, but i need to check if the copyright allows distribution of it |
| 16:00 |
Eva Gaelle (jucastt) |
would be a pleasure to make a pack and give it to donations |
| 16:00 |
Phrynne |
As long as it didn't come from a hunt, that would be fine. It needs to be copy/trans. |
| 16:00 |
Gronk Seriman |
Why would anybody want it if it's Ba-roke? |
| 16:01 |
Eva Gaelle (jucastt) |
it was not |
| 16:01 |
Phrynne |
that's fine, then. |
| 16:01 |
RainyDayRecess |

Gronk Seriman is sheepish. Sorry. |
