| 15:07 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Another notice of more gravity |
| 15:08 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Ladies & gentlemen, it is with great sorrow that I announce the passing of Dame Autopilotpatty Poppy this past May. Patty was a resident of the Steamlands since 2006 with land & venues in Rosehaven, New Babbage, Caledon & other estates. There will be a memorial dance celebration in her honor on Saturday, July 18 from 2-4pm at Chateau Trikassi in Rosehaven. More info to come. |
| 15:08 | Kara2016 | ?? |
| 15:08 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | That, from Gabrielle Riel. |
| 15:08 | Carl Metropolitan | Fuck. |
| 15:08 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Yeah! |
| 15:09 | Lightweaver Balan | aw |
| 15:09 | Carl Metropolitan | She was such a nice person. |
| 15:09 | Moongazer (alvestra.karu) | Sad news, indeed! |
| 15:09 | Cychwynn | aww sorry to hear it! |
| 15:09 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Dame Poppy held many parties of dance, music, and art over the years and was a very congenial and pleasant person (understatement warning). |
| 15:10 | Soup Jonson nods Rest in Peace Dame Poppy | |
| 15:11 | Carl Metropolitan | I was going to buy some of her recent art for my collection, but I kept putting it off... |
| 15:11 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | She was the first to welcome me to Caledon |
| 15:11 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | A plaque for her has joined those for others we have lost in the Chapel of Hope. |
| 15:12 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Any other additions from anyone before I move on? |
| 15:12 | Kaitlin (jkaitlin) | i do have a question |
| 15:13 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Kaitlin? |
| 15:13 | Kaitlin (jkaitlin) | it's about premium accts, are you able to have more than one? |
| 15:13 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Let's wait on that until after reports. |
| 15:13 | Kaitlin (jkaitlin) | oh sorry |
| 15:14 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Another item. Linden Lab is being acquired. https://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2020/07/linden-lab-second-life-acquired.html |
| 15:16 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | More locally, Oxbridge is doing well financially, due to Andrea's efforts and community support. There's a fund-raiser this afternoon. I'll let Andrea say more on that in a few minutes. |
| 15:18 | RED (remembered.ghost) | When can we ask questions? |
| 15:19 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | My own time in SL is going to be more focused for a while. It will, include time in the plaza, but it will mean I'll have to round robin over the month in terms of social events. However, I'll be keeping my phone closer and IMs to me will go to email on that. So if I need to be inworld, I can usually be summoned quickly. |
| 15:19 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I've got both external reading and several Oxbridge tasks to catch up on. |
| 15:20 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea? |
| 15:20 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Thanks for coming all. |
| 15:20 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | First up. |
| 15:21 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | A announcement, This is also a notice in the ISC and caledonian nights group notices. |
| 15:21 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | As many of you know, Our Dame Patty Poppy has passed on to what comes next. If you wish to place a message on a candle in the Memorial Sanctuary, a notecard in the candle, just your name on the candle. I have installed new candles on the north wall and on the wire shelves. I will move candles around as needed for those with long messages on top of the candle.. Instructions for the build are in the Celtic candle base by the pool at the end. Feel free to grab a free rose.Caledon Oxbridge Village (67,71,23) |
| 15:21 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Second for today is the notice for bi weekly fundraiser |
| 15:22 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Our Bi Weekly Fundraiser is this Sunday 07-12-20 @ 4 Pm. DJ Sasha will be spinning the tunes to the theme of China Beach, with classic and modern themed music. Please dress accordingly to the theme of Good morning Vietnam or the TV show China Beach. SURL.Caledon Oxbridge Village (147,181,22) |
| 15:22 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | while the event is at ground level in the village. shorts t-shirts of the era are fine |
| 15:22 | Cychwynn | (already trying to shop MP for theme clothing) |
| 15:23 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | something along the lines |
| 15:23 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | military off duty attire would work |
| 15:23 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | kakis ets |
| 15:23 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I'll be poofing shorty to check the area and wait |
| 15:24 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | thats all for me. Word? |
| 15:26 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I've got one additional item. I just emailed Marion Questi about taking over maintenance of the Caledon Quest. I'll have to see what he replies. |
| 15:26 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And thank you, Andrea. |
| 15:26 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Open for general questions. |
| 15:27 | Kaitlin (jkaitlin) | about premium accts, are you able to have more than one? |
| 15:28 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Carl, do you have any idea on that? And perhaps what are you trying to accomplish via that Kaitlin? |
| 15:28 | Carl Metropolitan | Yes. You can have as many as you want to pay for. |
| 15:28 | Kaitlin (jkaitlin) | ok, thank you Carl |
| 15:28 | Cychwynn | :) |
| 15:28 | Kaitlin (jkaitlin) | works for me |
| 15:28 | Carl Metropolitan | I have had two before. One of my close friends has had four at once. |
| 15:28 | RED (remembered.ghost) | I have a question, is there a business model for breaking rven on new sims for 2020? |
| 15:29 | Carl Metropolitan | (I used to have the Oxbridge Mint account and Carl Metropolitan, both as Premium) |
| 15:29 | Kaitlin (jkaitlin) | thank you |
| 15:29 | Cychwynn | I was also wondering something, due to the clothing store in Tanglewood, are we allowed to sell things from out Caledon plot? or does that store belong to Caledon itself? |
| 15:30 | Kara2016 | i have never met the owner of that store. |
| 15:30 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | You can build a store on your parcel |
| 15:30 | Cychwynn | me neither |
| 15:30 | Carl Metropolitan | You can have a business in Caledon. |
| 15:30 | Cychwynn | ok thank you for that |
| 15:30 | Carl Metropolitan | There used to be many, many more than there are now. |
| 15:31 | Kara2016 | since Dian passed. |
| 15:31 | Carl Metropolitan | But SL Marketplace kind of pushed many marginal business to the web only. |
| 15:31 | Cychwynn | secondly am I allowed to place a teegle rezzer on my plot? for people to borrow a horse? |
| 15:31 | RED (remembered.ghost) | what if you don't personally sell any goods or services but you want to start one? |
| 15:32 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | RED, the only models I'm aware of are having stores on the sim with sales sufficient to pay the tier, having renters to do such, or having a reason for others to donate to support your sim. |
| 15:33 | RED (remembered.ghost) | What is the business for a Caldedon, such as I want a sim there? |
| 15:33 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | As Carl just mentioned, marketplace has made it more difficult for inworld stores to survive. |
| 15:34 | Kara2016 | ? |
| 15:34 | Carl Metropolitan | Remembered, I am not sure what you are asking about? Do you mean renting a sim in Caledon or just a sim in SL in general? |
| 15:35 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Mostly land rental these days. All the Caledon sims are "owned" by Desmond Shang and residents here, including Oxbridge, pay tier to him and he pays tier to LL. |
| 15:36 | Carl Metropolitan | If you want to rent land to others, the most cost effective way to acquire the sim to rent out is to buy it from Linden Lab. |
| 15:36 | RED (remembered.ghost) | I am trying to find my role in SL and I was wondering if land might play a part |
| 15:37 | Carl Metropolitan | It would not connect to Caledon, of course. |
| 15:37 | Kara2016 | You can have any Role you want. |
| 15:37 | Carl Metropolitan | Land rentals require a higher initial investment, and a lot of work to keep the parcels in the sim you are renting occupied. |
| 15:38 | RED (remembered.ghost) | perhaps I will rent from Caledon then. HOw do I start? |
| 15:39 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Send a notecard to Desmond Shang and Mari Moonbeam |
| 15:39 | RED (remembered.ghost) | thank you |
| 15:39 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | we have a class on land rental |
| 15:40 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Saturdays at noon SLT |
| 15:41 | Carl Metropolitan | If you need help finding an open parcel, ask in the Caledon Oxbridge University group or the Independent State of Caledon group. People usually know what parcels are vacant near where they live. |
| 15:41 | Carl Metropolitan | For example, there is one across the street from me in Port Caledon open. |
| 15:42 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | other questions? |
| 15:42 | Cychwynn | am I allowed to place a teegle rezzer on my plot? for people to borrow a horse? |
| 15:43 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | As long as it isn't neon colored (i.e. reasonably close to covenant) |
| 15:43 | Kara2016 | ? |
| 15:43 | Cychwynn | it looks like a horse tethered to a wooden holding post |
| 15:44 | Caissa McCarey (lorelai.mccarey) | if it's higher LI, stick it on mine near your house, I've got extras |
| 15:44 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Kara, if you go to Oxbridge and open "about land" you can read the covenant that applies to all of Caledon. |
| 15:44 | Cychwynn | ha with my second plot Caissa i am ok on prims hahaha |
| 15:44 | Kara2016 | ok, i will, WordSmith. |
| 15:45 | Carl Metropolitan | Wordsmith, do you think that we should consider (and by "we" I mean "you" unfortunately) adding a page with the Caledon Covenant to the Oxbridge website? |
| 15:45 | Carl Metropolitan | Since it "lives" here? |
| 15:45 | Larky (larkylouz) | hmm, good idea. I'll code it, Word, if you wish. |
| 15:46 | Caissa McCarey (lorelai.mccarey) | oh that would be nice, make it much easier to share with people asking about Caledon |
| 15:46 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Mostly about common civility but with restrictions on landscaping and architecture atrocities and on ban lines and on security orbs below 500 m. |
| 15:47 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Nothing added to Oxbridge Guardian for some time, either |
| 15:48 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Yes, that can be done. And if Larky does the basic HTML, I can add the CSS and javascript that run the Oxbridge pages. |
| 15:48 | Larky (larkylouz) | okay, will do. |
| 15:48 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Another reason I'm cutting down my inworld time Elf. |
| 15:48 | Carl Metropolitan | Also, on land in Caledon, click any of the "Looking for Land in Caledon" posters around Oxbridge for a notecard on the basics. Though I need to update them to add Mari's name. |
| 15:49 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I've got a scripting example of a resizer that I've written a noir preface for. Think Dashiel Hammett. |
| 15:49 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Guy with a gun coming through the window? |
| 15:49 | Lightweaver Balan blinks | |
| 15:50 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | No, that was Raymond Chandler... |
| 15:50 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | No, blonde knocking on the frosted glass office door. |
| 15:50 | Kara2016 | *blinks* |
| 15:50 | Kara2016 | frogs in winter.. |
| 15:51 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hammett had a character referred to as "the continental op", I'm using "the scripting op" |
| 15:51 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Thank you all for coming. Slips off to the dance fundraiser |
| 15:52 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Thanks, Andrea. |
| 15:52 | Kara2016 | see you soon. |
| 15:52 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Anything else that's quick? |
| 15:53 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hearing nothing (but crickets), we are adjourned. |
| 15:53 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Thanks you for coming and participating. |
| 15:54 | Lightweaver Balan | thank you |
| 15:54 | Kara2016 | Thank, You, WordSmith.. |
