| 15:02 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome, Thomas |
| 15:02 | Cychwynn | hello Thomas! |
| 15:02 | Soup Jonson | Hi Thomas! |
| 15:02 | Thomas Scout (araseagas) | Hello! |
| 15:03 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I don't see Ember inworld, so I'll simply mention that with the turning of the year, she is taking over landscaping from Phrynne. |
| 15:03 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | cool |
| 15:03 | Gronk Seriman | Ooo! Nice! |
| 15:04 | Cychwynn | ahhh wonderful |
| 15:04 | Soup Jonson | Way to go!!! |
| 15:05 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Phrynne has given Ember what she had that was transferable, Jorge has been conveying freebies that he finds, and we do support landscaping with small amounts from the Mint account as needed. |
| 15:05 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea, what do you have for today? |
| 15:06 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Our second fundraiser will be this coming 17th from 4 to 6 right after the Q&a. Details in tonights notice. It will be a slumber party. |
| 15:06 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | so dress appropriately |
| 15:06 | Cychwynn | Sounds fun! |
| 15:06 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | thats all for now |
| 15:06 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | DJ Sasha will DJ |
| 15:06 | Soup Jonson | Oh heavens! |
| 15:06 | Cychwynn | hurray Sasha! |
| 15:06 | AngelaPep71 | how do you do a slumber party? |
| 15:06 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | TY (I can slumber in almost any outfit) |
| 15:07 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome Rodrigo |
| 15:07 | Soup Jonson | what if you sleep... |
| 15:07 | Soup Jonson stops | |
| 15:07 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Late afternoon, it could happen. |
| 15:08 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I've only a couple items. |
| 15:10 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | With all the Christmas parties over and having gotten through my yearly December Science membership renewals, subscriptions, and donation, I'm back to working on the kiosk updates. I've finished the English version for kiosk 2.13, which was pretty much a total redo; some of the SL menus had changed. The multi-language screen shots take a bit of time when needed. |
| 15:11 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | thank you or your time |
| 15:13 | Larky (larkylouz) | Geez, Word! Is there was someone who could make those screen caps for you? I'd offer, but I need to catch up on other projects first. [[15:13] Wordsmith Jarvinen: The second item. I've paid tier on 6 Jan for this quarter. The balance after that was 321,581 $L. That's a 96,581 $L surplus over my normal reserve of 225,000 $L, but wise since we have no idea of people's ability to donate give pandemic lockdowns. It's almost an extra quarter of expenditures. |
| 15:14 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | good to know |
| 15:14 | Rodrigo (pantera3715) | May I do a suggestion? |
| 15:14 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And, a third item (I lied about two): Larky as of yesterday started teaching Inventory Class. |
| 15:14 | Gronk Seriman | Yay! |
| 15:14 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | yay! |
| 15:15 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Okey open tow comments, questions, suggestions. |
| 15:15 | Larky (larkylouz) sketches a bow | |
| 15:15 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Still hosting the Writers' Meeting i Thursdays 11:00 AM SLT |
| 15:15 | Rodrigo (pantera3715) | I was wondering if I could help to translate the whole tutorial into Spanish |
| 15:16 | Rodrigo (pantera3715) | I'm Spanish and some Spanish people came here and they didn't know English |
| 15:16 | Rodrigo (pantera3715) | I had to be with them to translate |
| 15:17 | Rodrigo (pantera3715) | So if I could translate the posters and you put them there, could be useful |
| 15:18 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Some I have translations for that Jorge Serapis did, but when I have to recreate one, that would be helpful. |
| 15:18 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And help to speed things up. I'd just need the translated text |
| 15:19 | Rodrigo (pantera3715) | Okie |
| 15:20 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I've just got a few more kiosks to do to set out the building on Avatar Motion. |
| 15:20 | Gronk Seriman | Rodrigo, the translation of the Tutorial has been a Work in Progress for a while now. Any help is appreciated. |
| 15:22 | Rodrigo (pantera3715) | So if I can help, I would love to |
| 15:23 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I can give you English text from the posters on notecards Rodrigo, and you can give me the notecard back with the translation |
| 15:23 | Larky (larkylouz) | thank you, Rodrigo! |
| 15:23 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And Yay. Help much appreciated. |
| 15:24 | Rodrigo (pantera3715) | ☻ |
| 15:24 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Are there other questions, comments, announcements? |
| 15:25 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hearing naught but crickets, ..... |
| 15:25 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Rodrigo is typing |
| 15:26 | Rodrigo (pantera3715) | sorry |
| 15:26 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | And Angela is hesitating |
| 15:27 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | (and I have friended Rodrigo to facilitate passing of translations) |
| 15:27 | AngelaPep71 | how do I get to some of the events you mentioned ? |
| 15:27 | AngelaPep71 | like the slumber party? |
| 15:27 | Strandwind raises her hand | |
| 15:28 | AngelaPep71 | or that writers club? |
| 15:28 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Active teleport links are posted to Caledon Nights groups and to the Oxbridge scholars group |
| 15:28 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | and the ISC group |
| 15:28 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And, Elf, you post a notice to COUG? |
| 15:29 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Yup. And now eight other groups... |
| 15:29 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | ISC = Independent State of Caledon. |
| 15:29 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Including that one |
| 15:30 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And there are generally postings in advance under notices, and direct posts into chat steams just ahead and during events. |
| 15:30 | AngelaPep71 | thank you everyone they sound fun |
| 15:31 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea is good at creating venues |
| 15:31 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I post in the ISC , nights groups and the COU groups |
| 15:31 | Gronk Seriman | Aether Chrononauts has a very helpful calendar for events not only in Caledon, but other Steamworlds in SL, too.... |
| 15:31 | Gronk Seriman | http://www.aetherchrononauts.org/ |
| 15:32 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Yes, aether chrononauts often has other posts from events in the "steam lands" |
| 15:33 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Other matters? |
| 15:34 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hearing none, we are |
| 15:34 | Gronk Seriman | Did Strandwind raise a hand? |
| 15:34 | Strandwind | Sorry, I guess, I am at the wrong event here. But as I am here, I want to ask: are there classes or tutorial about texturing? Or informations about how to work with textures in general and especially for bumpiness and shininess? |
| 15:35 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Yes, Samm Florian covers texturing in one of her two weeks of basic building. |
| 15:36 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | That's Fridays at 5pm |
| 15:36 | Strandwind | Ohh, great! Thank you. "Basic building" sounded so very general. Good to know. I will go there. - Thank you |
| 15:36 | Gronk Seriman | There are some old but still helpful tutorials in the building next to our sandbox, too. |
| 15:36 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | It may be general but not corporal... |
| 15:37 | lovejoy2199 | Where is Sandie? That sounds like one of her answers. |
| 15:37 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And for that matter, Samm would like to extend into running an advanced building class, but she/we need to find a teacher to take over basic building in order for her to do that. |
| 15:37 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | :-) |
| 15:38 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And if you have specific questions, staff in the plaza or myself can likely answer them |
| 15:39 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Anything more? |
| 15:39 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Or at least try to suggest an expert |
| 15:39 | Strandwind | Thank you very much Wordsmith and all others. |
| 15:40 | Strandwind | So I may call you private Wordsmith - just in case? |
| 15:40 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | (I was once a pert, but now I'm an ex-pert?) |
| 15:40 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Yes. |
| 15:40 | Lightweaver Balan salutes Private Wordsmith | |
| 15:40 | Strandwind | If I knew who the experts are, I would like to call them. ;-) |
| 15:41 | Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) | badgerofzen gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 15:41 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Certainly Samm, myself, I suspect Larky (why not?) |
| 15:41 | Gronk Seriman | The Oxbridge Scholars group is always a great group to get quick help, too. Be sure to join. |
| 15:42 | Rodrigo (pantera3715) | ☻ |
| 15:42 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Any other matters? |
| 15:43 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Then we are ..... |
