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.
15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen at http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/qna/qna_index.php
15:01 Gronk Seriman And not a moment before.
15:01 Larky (larkylouz) thanks, Ember, Word. Hi everyone
15:01 lovejoy2199 lol
15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen (and hopefully I catch up on them)
15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen What have thee for today, Ember?
15:03 Ember (emberell) I've been hard at work on the faculty kit updates. I've posted the most recent late November/early December update in the staff lounge - but I plan to put out a larger update by the end of this month.
15:04 Ember (emberell) Besides that, we are still looking for help staff at Oxbridge - tutors, or even just folk who feel they may want to answer questions. If anyone is interested in becoming a tutor at Oxbridge, please reach out to me, or any other tutor/staff for more information.
15:05 Ember (emberell) One final smaller announcement - I've started teaching Building Basics every Tuesday at 3:00pm SL time, in an effort to offer a class to people running at European hours and the like. All are welcome
15:05 Ember (emberell) That's it from me here
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thanks Ember
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Ember's class frees Samm to teach an advanced building class, btw.
15:06 Sandy Burgess 3pm is midnight for us
15:07 Ember (emberell) It isn't ideal, but I couldn't do any earlier due to RL
15:07 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yes, not really a European time.
15:07 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea, what do you have?
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Our bi-weekly fundraiser is next Sunday 4 to 6. Theme is planned for winter/Christmas at the Skating, dance pavilion in the Oxbridge Village. If that changes I'll let everyone know by notice in the groups.
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Nothing else. Just everyone be safe. MG Badger has his radio drama hour Mondays at 7:30
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) back to you Word
15:09 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thanks, Andrea
15:09 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome, badgerofzen :)
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen We have a new class starting on Friday at 5pm on event creation/promotion taught by Nance Clowes, who has done such extensively
15:11 Gronk Seriman Woohoo!
15:11 badgerofzen hullo
15:11 Agatha Asuka Macbeth (agatha.macbeth) Interesting
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen I expect to be adding an advanced building class taught by Samm, just need the time and description.
15:12 Ember (emberell) From what I recall, she asked to keep her usual time slot (it works well for her)
15:12 Larky (larkylouz) Samm actually taught the first installment of her class last week. I'll send you a nc with the info I have, Word.
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen The College of Camera Controls now has four of its six kiosks replaced with multi-language ones.
15:13 Larky (larkylouz) woot!
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) thanks to everyone who helped on that and to you Wordsmith
15:14 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne is still reviewing the textures that I create.
15:15 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) ty Phrynne
15:16 Sandy Burgess Is the class schedule here current?
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen And, we wondered if we would get there, the library parcel is now owned by the library management group rather than directly by JJ Drinkwater. That allows us to have some parcel management powers.
15:17 Ember (emberell) Yes, the class schedule here is updated directly from the web one as classes are added or removed. If you're ever concerned you can double check http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/class_schedule.php
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen Apart from the addition of Samm's class the schedule is current.
15:18 Ember (emberell) Samm's class will be added as information is provided
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen Well, it's updated from the web, but I change the JSON files for the schedule manually.
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen And Larky just provided me with information.
15:19 Ember (emberell) Wonderful. Thank you, Chancellor
15:20 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) We do appreciate your work maintaining [the schedule].
15:20 Wordsmith Jarvinen And, if you are an instructor and have to cancel your class, please let Larky and myself know as much ahead as you can. It takes a couple of hours after I update the inworld server for all the kiosks out there to show the update. Larky is handling a couple of other calendars, including the SL events calendar.
15:21 Larky (larkylouz) That, the Caledon Google Calendar that Beth Ghostraven maintains and the Aetherchrononauts calendars, to be exact.
15:22 Wordsmith Jarvinen We are putting out the information to try to get more class participants, but if they come and the instructor simply isn't there, we lose a lot of credibility.
15:22 Wordsmith Jarvinen And that's different than leaving if no students show. That's okay.
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen All I've got for today, so open for general announcements and questions.
15:24 Ember (emberell) One small SL announcement
15:25 Wordsmith Jarvinen Ember?
15:25 Ember (emberell) They've started putting through a change that will allow users to opt-in to receiving group notices as part of the offline message emails. So going forward (starting on the 15th, from the information I have) residents who enable the message-to-IM function will automatically NOT receive group notices in those unless they opt in
15:25 Ember (emberell) For those who want more information I have a link to their post
15:26 Lia (tokyorii) Yaaay!
15:26 Ember (emberell) It's quite handy. But that's all from me there :-)
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen Might as well put the link in here, Ember
15:26 Ember (emberell) https://community.secondlife.com/blogs/entry/9561-email-preference-changes/
15:27 Wordsmith Jarvinen ty :)
15:27 Ember (emberell) Other announcements, questions, puns? :-)
15:27 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Still hosting the Writers' Meeting on Thursdays 11:00 AM SLT.
15:28 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) No aquamarine orcas with green tutus dancing about a beer keg, I promise
15:28 Harperlass aww
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen That would be much too distracting.
15:29 Ember (emberell) makes a note of what to bring to the next meeting
15:29 Sandy Burgess What? the beer kegs?
15:29 Harperlass tutus are a must....adds a note to her to do list
15:29 Harperlass kara
15:29 lovejoy2199 Maybe kegs of hot cider.
15:29 Harperlass is already prepared
15:29 Gronk Seriman Would yellow tutus be OK?
15:30 Harperlass tasteful white or a pale ballet pink?
15:30 Sandy Burgess considers if wearing a beer keg might go with her shape
15:30 Wordsmith Jarvinen Oh, I'll be putting out the annual bonfire and a keg of cider in the plaza, same as prior years.
15:30 Agatha Asuka Macbeth (agatha.macbeth) Woot
15:30 lovejoy2199 *smile* TY
15:30 Larky (larkylouz) always assumed that keg contained hot rum.
15:30 Wordsmith Jarvinen As long as the coverage is G-rated, Sandy ;)
15:30 Harperlass nice I really liked that as a newcomer
15:30 Ember (emberell) Do take some care, as it the spot beside the benches is a popular one for larger avatars or people with horses
15:31 Lia (tokyorii) Same! Best memory!
15:31 lovejoy2199 Ahhh...Hot Buttered Rum
15:31 Wordsmith Jarvinen Other topics?
