14:33 Carl Metropolitan Hi
14:33 Carl Metropolitan Is this the week for Deans q&A?
14:33 Carl Metropolitan I thought it was second week.
14:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hi, Carl. 2nd Sunday of the month. The first was a Sunday.
14:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen But stay up there, Phrynne is on vacation.
14:34 Carl Metropolitan I just took my stage
14:34 Carl Metropolitan I like having "sets" for events.
14:34 Carl Metropolitan Classes, etc.
14:44 Carl Metropolitan Hello Andrea
14:44 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hi
14:45 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hi. Second Sunday of the month.
14:46 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) nods
14:47 Wordsmith Jarvinen I like that idea of having sets, Carl. Walk in in costume with the set behind us. Conversing.
14:48 Carl Metropolitan If you like I can do one for Q&A With the Deans
14:49 Wordsmith Jarvinen Prithee, fair Andrea, what hear ye on your trip to Oxbridge? Be they still above the waves?
14:49 Carl Metropolitan Andrea, Did you get the plaque I dropped on you?
14:52 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) yes thanks. apparently i napped about 4 hours s today
14:52 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) and the human half left me running
14:52 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Centaur outfit again?
14:53 Wordsmith Jarvinen And in the contest of Lyban vs the benches, it's Lyban for the win.
14:53 Carl Metropolitan Did you have a chance to look at it?
14:53 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) not yet woke up about 20 min ago and is ill from her lunch
14:53 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) one sec
14:55 Carl Metropolitan Oh. I did not realize how recently you had woken
14:55 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) is ok.
14:55 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) shouldn't have eaten the whole thing

14:59 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thank you, Orange. Much appreciated
14:59 RainyDayRecess waves to all ;)
15:00 Orange Planer Your avatar name is apt since people are going back to school.
15:00 Carl Metropolitan Despite how they may look, the benches seem only scripted for two people each
15:00 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome to this week's Caledon Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting;
15:00 Wordsmith Jarvinen all are welcome apart from those who intend to misbehave in a disruptive manner.
15:00 Wordsmith Jarvinen Non-disruptive misbehavior is at your discretion.
15:00 Wordsmith Jarvinen Transcripts will be posted after the meeting.

15:01 Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) Mellie (musicalmelody7321) gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway.
15:02 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) sorry, I'm having issues to sit
15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne is on RL vacation for the week, and is more likely to be soaking in warm water than issuing reports
15:02 Lia (tokyorii) Right click and hit sit
15:02 Orange Planer Whatever you say can and will be used against you.
15:02 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Or for you
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Stand in front of the bench, Eva and make sure you are aiming at the seat (not the back)
15:03 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) I guess it's a issue with my viewer
15:03 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Oh yes, Lumiya
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea, do you have anything to report?
15:04 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) yes, elf.
15:04 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) HI yes.
15:04 Charlemagne Allen hello
15:04 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) hello, everyone.
15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen Greetings Charlemagne
15:04 Charlemagne Allen danke schoen
15:05 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) The summer dance fundraiser raiser raised 13605 lindens.
15:05 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) Greetings.
15:05 Charlemagne Allen Wonderful
15:05 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) and will be looking for the totals on the art show coin
15:06 Gronk Seriman Yay!
15:06 Garret Black (pantau) /s that in "real" US$?
15:06 Orange Planer That's about $54 USD.
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) The october build for the Halloween fundariser is coming along
15:06 Garret Black (pantau) Thanks
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) It won't be under ground.
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) The build for that turned out to be harder than I planned on. Instead we will be in a gothic build on the ground.
15:07 Wordsmith Jarvinen So we won't have to decrypt it.
15:07 Orange Planer Har har har
15:07 RainyDayRecess :D
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) the theme is A old time Halloween.
15:08 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) I just got here.
15:08 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) What did I miss?
15:08 Orange Planer More like we missed you.
15:08 lovejoy2199 Headless Horsemen?
15:08 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) How sweet.
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) The focus will be more on the classics of Halloween
15:08 Lia (tokyorii) Lets them speak you guys ^^
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) It's ok, I talk in spurts anyway.
15:09 Carl Metropolitan The way SL works is that most "underground" builds are underwater because the water layer of the sim "flows" through the ground. Underground builds usually hide the water surface when going down stairs by use of special shadow meshs/prims.
15:09 Orange Planer An Olde Thyme Hallowe'en...ie (if you like hot dogs).
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) So the build will not be the one we have used the last couple of years.
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) While it is a great build. I felt it was getting old to returning personages
15:10 Orange Planer A golden moldy?
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) The fund raiser will be in the early part of the month to keep from running into the many various events of the season that comes on closer to the end of the month.
15:11 Gronk Seriman If we like it, it's "Tradition"!
15:12 Wordsmith Jarvinen Just a note bene, Andrea. I'll be at a conference in Baltimore 5-12 Oct.
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) More on that soon. We may have a few new events this year. Will see how things look. My event card is a bit full right now. and adapting to the rigors of my new employment is leavin gme exhausted at the end of the day.
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) so we will look at the second weekend of the month then I think Wordsmith.
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen Wonder's if Miss Gronk is close to breaking out in a song from "Fiddler on the Roof".
15:13 Gronk Seriman grins
15:13 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) ...If I were a rich man...
15:13 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) With a million or two.
15:13 Lia (tokyorii) Can we all just be rich? Thanks haha.
15:15 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Thank you to those that donated last month at the fundraiser. The plaque at the stage at my feet will be sent to those that I have on record as having donated that day at the event. If by next Sunday you haven't received one, Then let me know so I can check the records. Maybe it got lost in SL mail.
15:17 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) On another note. The anniversary of Star Trek coming on tv was last Saturday. I picked up a recreation of the Enterprise command bridge some time back. It has been rezzed in the village. It is a fun build to be in. It has sounds and the various control panels do things so it is interactive. It will be up a few weeks if anyone wants to go by and play with it. or role play in it.
15:18 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Caledon Oxbridge Village (41,69,2562)
15:18 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I think that covers it for me
15:18 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) looks back at Wordsmith
15:18 Carl Metropolitan Andrea, I have noticed the LOD on the coin on the plaque does not work well at over 10 meters. I did not test it for a large room as I thought it would not be displayed in such
15:18 Carl Metropolitan I need to fix that.
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thank you Andrea.
15:18 Carl Metropolitan So don't give them out just yet if that's okay.
15:19 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) It is intended for people to display in their homes etc. But that is up to you Carl.
15:19 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Will wait
15:19 Carl Metropolitan It will not take long
15:19 Orange Planer Just saying, looks fine to me, Carl.
15:20 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) and thank you Carl for the recognition plaque
15:20 Charlemagne Allen Depends on your computer
15:20 Wordsmith Jarvinen For such a small item, the "high" LOD can be used for at least 2 maybe 3 levels. The lowest LOD will carry most of the weight. And if the shape and vertices are few enough, even that can use the high LOD.
15:22 Charlemagne Allen You can set varying amount of LOD/detail in client.
15:22 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've been working on the Spanish translations for the tutorial, with Phrynne and Deyanira as proof readers.
15:22 Charlemagne Allen if you want framerate/photomode, etc.
15:22 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) ty Wordsmith
15:23 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) Did someone just say "you"...
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen Need to catch up again on instructor stipends over the next few days.
15:24 Wordsmith Jarvinen Making sure I show up in the plaza from time to time.
15:24 Charlemagne Allen you
15:25 Wordsmith Jarvinen That's about it. Open for general questions, comments, etc., but give each person a chance before cutting.
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything?
15:27 Gronk Seriman This must be some sort of Q&A Attendance Record!
15:27 Lia (tokyorii) Ermmm for once. I have nothing to question
15:27 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Just a note
15:27 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) I apologize - I'm brand new.
15:27 Charlemagne Allen Don't worry about it
15:27 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Well, still hosting the Writers' Meeting in Thursdays
15:27 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) The Summer carnival. is almost ready
15:27 lovejoy2199 Yes. You said 'old Halloween. How old? Being steampunk, would Victorian be right?
15:27 Orange Planer Quick, harvest him before he ages out!
15:27 Charlemagne Allen Are we getting dunk tank again?
15:27 Riddling Riddler I'm back after a hiatus but I would like to see socialization on the sim
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen What would that look like Riddling?
15:29 Lia (tokyorii) *Coughs* Can we bring racing here? with like the horses and the carts
15:29 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Maybe after carriages?
15:29 Charlemagne Allen is socializing
15:29 Charlemagne Allen barks wagging and begging.
15:29 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) perks up a bit at the idea of horse racing.
15:30 Wordsmith Jarvinen Roma has chariot racing.
15:30 Lia (tokyorii) See , We even have the horse ready.
15:31 Charlemagne Allen will give rides for apples
15:31 Lia (tokyorii) Looking it up now word.
15:31 Wordsmith Jarvinen Oxbridge itself is limited to 20 avatars total. Much of the socialization opportunities are under Andrea's hand, often here in Village.
15:32 Samm Florian There's a biweekly dance on Wednesdays in Caledon on Sea, too.
15:32 Orange Planer Good thing she's hand-some.
15:32 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Caledon has some event or another almost every night. Join the ISC chat or check aetherchrononauts.org
15:32 Charlemagne Allen I've been busy in the evening, but they are quite lovely events
15:32 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) We are dependent on others to help with that. Land is needed.
15:32 Lia (tokyorii) So village racing?
15:33 Lia (tokyorii) or am I just not understanding
15:33 Ligeia002 tinnie cars race?
15:33 Lia (tokyorii) Just thinking of events that would attract more people here
15:33 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) remembers getting stuck in a sim border during a parade with ghosts of others...
15:34 Samm Florian Apparently Q&A with th'Dean attracts a huge crowd. :)
15:34 Gronk Seriman We do socialize in the Plaza in front of the Lecture Hall On campus. But that goes on in between helping people.
15:34 Lia (tokyorii) True!
15:34 Ligeia002 ..or was the wacky races..
15:34 Charlemagne Allen oh dear
15:34 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) Wacky Racing...
15:34 Charlemagne Allen that sounds like a lovely idea
15:34 Charlemagne Allen (need to show someone something
15:34 Charlemagne Allen shall be back shortly
15:34 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) not a lot of room in the village at the ground level. and we have to be careful of prims used on the commonwealth as they affect the sand box etc. but, it is something we can look into.
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen Here's a bit on the chariot races at Roma
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen Group Notice From: Aether Chrononauts, Melanippe Karas

Open to amateur and practiced charioteers alike, spectators or participants - come watch our daring agitatores circle the Hippodrome in six or more heats with cash prizes! Wave the flag of your favourite factio!

Racing starts at 1 pm, warmups at any time. ROMA (208,124,43)
15:34 Charlemagne Allen apologies
15:35 Lia (tokyorii) Okay miss Andrea. and Sweet, thank you word
15:36 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) That would probably require its own kind of scripting..
15:36 Wordsmith Jarvinen Other matter?
15:36 Riddling Riddler Maybe classes in voice?
15:36 Orange Planer Not unless you're talking antimatter.
15:36 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Mostly someone to head up a event is needed. My time is limited these days. If you are wanting to see about hosting (managing) a event. Please let me know. I can help you with it and run it through the deans.
15:36 Riddling Riddler more classes?
15:36 Samm Florian Can't do it myself, but I'd encourage anyone who wants t'form a committee fer thinkin' up new events to have in Caledon. We usedta do that when we had our own RfL team and it was kinda neat.
15:37 Riddling Riddler parties?
15:37 Samm Florian We can have as many classes as there are teachers to teach 'em. :)
15:37 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) Enjoys a good party.
15:37 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) checks for dark matter in the lecture hall
15:37 Lia (tokyorii) I volunteer to teach!
15:37 Lia (tokyorii) I VOLUNTERR
15:37 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) And your class idea?
15:37 Lia (tokyorii) Um...Uhh..
15:38 Lia (tokyorii) I didnt think that far..
15:38 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) chortles.
15:38 Charlemagne Allen being a nice puppy like me
15:38 Samm Florian It wouldn't hurt t'have another Building Basics class at another time period.
15:38 Lia (tokyorii) Uhhh...Teaching people of SL how build or to change textures?
15:38 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) well, I can host an event in my house and some free time
15:38 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) still misses the vehicle class but is not in position to teach one
15:39 Samm Florian And th'jewelry class.
15:39 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) And that one
15:39 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yes, I actually want a class proposal and a reason to conclude that the proposed teacher can organize material so that others can understand it. In other words, teaching at Oxbridge is not role play.
15:39 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) and I have some free time*
15:39 Wordsmith Jarvinen But it's not a highly formal process.
15:40 Gronk Seriman The campus has a lovely Atelier where clothing and jewelery used to be made. But sadly no professor to run it lately.
15:40 Samm Florian If somebuddy's interested in teachin' Building Basics, I can give 'em some ideas, my "syllabus", etc etc.
15:40 lovejoy2199 Gronk and Sandie on SL fashion.
15:40 Lia (tokyorii) Send meeee it saaaammm
15:40 Samm Florian I wouldn't mind shiftin' gears and teachin' more advanced topics fer a while.
15:41 Wordsmith Jarvinen Oh, and Rainy has an item to mention.
15:42 RainyDayRecess We are working on rideable horses for Oxbridge ;)
15:42 Gronk Seriman Ooo!
15:42 Charlemagne Allen perks up
15:42 RainyDayRecess Word is working on the script right now ;)
15:42 Lia (tokyorii) REALLY?!
15:42 Charlemagne Allen Wonderful
15:42 RainyDayRecess Yes ;)
15:42 Lia (tokyorii) Ill be able to ride a horse through Oxbridge and Caledon! Let's go!
15:43 RainyDayRecess The horse will need a lot of work after the script is finished though
15:43 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Probably better than those with the beginner avatars
15:43 Lia (tokyorii) I cant wait!!
15:43 Charlemagne Allen looks sad
15:43 Carl Metropolitan Andrea. Just dropped you an improved (still 1 LI) plaque with much better LOD at range on the coin, and a coin texture on the underlying texture for really long distances when the LOD fails.
15:43 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) I do like horses.
15:43 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) They're so pretty.
15:43 Carl Metropolitan It is labeled R1
15:43 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) And majestic.
15:43 Lia (tokyorii) Ill still ride you Charlemagne through Oxbridge
15:43 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) :-)
15:44 Charlemagne Allen Only if you give me sugar cubes
15:44 Charlemagne Allen don't work for free
15:44 Lia (tokyorii) Only carrots, Sorry.
15:44 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) What about apples?
15:45 Charlemagne Allen Apples are very important
15:45 Wordsmith Jarvinen Rainy will work on paired animations since the horse is animesh. The horse walking, the rider dangling by one stirrup, ....
15:45 RainyDayRecess :D
15:45 Lia (tokyorii) Maybe apples.
15:45 RainyDayRecess Maybe
15:46 RainyDayRecess So the horse can follow you
15:46 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) Have an apple on a stick.
15:46 Badass Fae (larkylouz) I'd love to have a horse I could groom!
15:46 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) It follow.
15:46 Carl Metropolitan Did you all make the animesh horse?
15:47 RainyDayRecess Yes
15:47 Charlemagne Allen The Water Horses do have rezzer models
15:47 Charlemagne Allen It's 12k each. But quite well made.
15:47 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) is still missing the carriages
15:47 Carl Metropolitan Once you have it working here, you two should sell them. The competitors in the field are VERY expensive.
15:47 Orange Planer A horse does not make a good groom unless it's getting married.
15:47 Charlemagne Allen yes
15:47 Lia (tokyorii) Word, I think the crowd loves the horse idea.
15:47 Charlemagne Allen has a hat though
15:48 Charlemagne Allen ponies are very important
15:48 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) also has a hat
15:48 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) Ponies are like a horse you can take on the go.
15:48 Lia (tokyorii) Alright guys pause, lets see if the deans need to say anything else to us
15:48 Carl Metropolitan A lower-cost, lower-complexity, entry level ridable horse could be very popular.
15:48 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) waits for more puns
15:49 RainyDayRecess That's what I am thinking too Carl ;)
15:49 Orange Planer He spun some puns.
15:49 Charlemagne Allen Indeed
15:49 Charlemagne Allen It's basically a one maker market now
15:49 Orange Planer I'd love to be a dinosaur riding a horse.
15:50 Kara Zor - El (superpantera) haha ^^
15:50 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) What kind of dinosaur?
15:50 Deinonychus Charlemagne Allen detached their Dawn Kingdoms dinosaur mesh!
15:50 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Finally right species.
15:50 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Not "velociraptor"
15:50 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) Is that a vilociraptor? o:
15:50 Kara Zor - El (superpantera) that's a little scary for me hehe
15:50 Orange Planer Utahraptor.
15:51 Ligeia002 trows a piece of meat
15:51 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) Oohh!
15:51 Charlemagne Allen deinonychus
15:51 Charlemagne Allen a nice puppy
15:51 Lia (tokyorii) Puppy!
15:51 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) That looks so neat!
15:51 Charlemagne Allen toys
15:51 Wordsmith Jarvinen Any more topic questions?
15:52 Lia (tokyorii) Nothing from me.
15:52 Kara Zor - El (superpantera) me neither
15:52 Wallace Truman (wallacetruman) Not at the moment, thank you.
15:52 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hearing nothing,
