And with the bells sounded, what have you for us today, Ember (Dean of Commons)? |
| 15:03 |
Ember (emberell) |
Lately I've been checking up on our resource cards - making sure landmarks still work, shops are there, etc. IF anyone finds anything in the cards that's out of date, also, please do let me know - I usually work to set those straight as soon as I hear about them. |
| 15:04 |
Ember (emberell) |
And as usual, Oxbridge is always looking for people interested in helping out - whether as tutors, or aiding us with various other matters. If anyone is interested in getting involved, please do let me (or any of our other staff) know and we can help you figure out how you can be involved |
| 15:04 |
Ember (emberell) |
That's it from me this week |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thanks, Ember. And yes, keeping the information current is never ending. |
| 15:05 |
Ember (emberell) |
I sometimes don't catch it all, or places move right after I check, or... Many things. So if ever in doubt please do reach out to me about our resources :-) |
| 15:05 |
Ember (emberell) |
Welcome, Lindal! |

Thanks, Andrea |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Oxbridge remains in good financial shape. Over the last 3 weeks our surplus increased by about 7k $L through last night. Although it's not a formal fundraiser, the Newcomers' ball took in 8k $L ... but nobody registered as a newcomer. |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And the above is with RFL still fundraising, which affects all other fundraising. |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Many thanks to those that donated |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The statistics on the webpage are current through last night, and the 3 Oxbridge graphs on the wall behind me are also current as of today. |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Larky told me she'll be getting back to flogging social media to see about getting more newbies coming in. |
| 15:12 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Newcomers and returnees keep trickling in. |
| 15:12 |
Ember (emberell) |
Welcome, Liska |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Good, and the returnees don't show up as newcomers but effectively are. |
| 15:13 |
Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) |
Hello all |

Katie (katie.canningham) |
Hi lovejoy! |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
My one other note is: Got back from a RL conference a week ago. Don't have another one until mid-July. I've got a presentation for Science circle next Saturday evening that I'll be working on this week, but after that I'll have more time for catching up on several Oxbridge things. |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And with that, open for questions, comments, and the like. |
| 15:20 |
lovejoy2199 |
Your 'flying mile' must be adding up |
| 15:21 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Well, it appears that Oxbridge is now part of some riding route; people coming to Oxbridge take out cycles and horses and proceed further into Caledon... |
| 15:21 |
Phrynne |
yes, I noticed that just before I came here |
| 15:21 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
According to some of them, some kind of event |
| 15:22 |
Ember (emberell) |
As long as they are careful and considerate of the orientation and students, that is fine. |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Something to keep an eye on with vehicles, since we don't want them rezzed in buildings or running people down. |
| 15:22 |
Ember (emberell) |
Yes, exactly |
| 15:23 |
Phrynne |
What I saw was someone coming out of the entry building and along the left sidewalk, out of the region. |
| 15:23 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I was just surprised |
| 15:23 |
Phrynne |
Never went near the tutorial. |
| 15:24 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Yeah, they have a HUD that guides them past the railway station and further. |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The only actual "road" out of Oxbridge is where the horse carriages used to turn around next to the library. |
| 15:24 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Seem to go out the same way the train goes |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Nods, as long as it isn't a problem ... what Ember already said. |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:26 |
Lindal Kidd |
yes |
| 15:26 |
Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) |
It would have been nice for the event organizers to contact someone from Oxbridge, though |
| 15:26 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Agreed |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yep. They go along the train tracks at their own risk (grins) |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Caledon has a reputation for its "hungry" trams. |
| 15:28 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Well, no tunnels to see the light at the end of.... |
| 15:28 |
Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) |
Just a note regarding the Goblin Cave movies: there's a pre-movie show or cartoon at about 5:30 to make sure your settings are working to watch the movie |
| 15:28 |
lovejoy2199 |
/me remembers 'Rule G' for railroading. |
| 15:28 |
Ember (emberell) |
We are very open to coordinating with event organizers and the like, too. For those who may want to set up such in the future |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any other questions, comments, comas? |
| 15:29 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
Rule G? |
| 15:29 |
Lindal Kidd |
yes |
| 15:30 |
|
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) does not like to railroad as GM... |
| 15:30 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
General Motors? |
| 15:31 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Game Master in TTRPG :-) |
| 15:32 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |

| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Rule #n, make me think of NCIS |
| 15:32 |
lovejoy2199 |
Do you have something to say, Dean Kidd? |
| 15:33 |
Lindal Kidd |
yes, thank you. |
| 15:33 |
Lindal Kidd |
Avatar Safety has had good attendance the last several weeks. I hope it's a trend. I've been asked to give a version of the class at the Healthful Aging Conference next week. |
| 15:33 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Well, there has been some Lindal Crowds :-) |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Good, Liss has sent me a notice on the conference. Do mention Oxbridge (grins) |
| 15:34 |
Lindal Kidd |
I shall! |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Liss (Wisdom Seeker) is acting as the communicator for VWEC events (Virtual Worlds Education Consortium), so she and I end up at some of the same meetings. And the VWEC education reserve is having its first anniversary event at 11am on 20 May. |
| 15:36 |
lovejoy2199 |
I hope to be there. |
| 15:36 |
Gronk Seriman |
Wow! It's been a year already! |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So there are multiple threads of collaboration there. And I've been asked to be there also. |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A year since the public opening of the core sim. The work on it started the January before. |
| 15:37 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |

| 15:40 |
|
Katie (katie.canningham) raises a hand |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Katie? |
| 15:41 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
Please forgive me, I came in late - Is there a dance tonight? |
| 15:41 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
next week |
| 15:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
No, canceled for Mothers' Day |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There's an elegance to the Guvnah's mansion |
| 15:43 |
Lindal Kidd |
it's the influence of the catgirls |
| 15:43 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Cat girls? Where? |
| 15:43 |
|
Lindal Kidd claps a hand over her mouth |
| 15:43 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
the nearby catgirl signal is a nice touch |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Every year, Stereo Nacht organizes a ball to honor newcomers to Caledon. Except this year, she said she didn't have anyone contact her as such. But it's two part: one in the early afternoon to catch those on UK / European times, and one in the SLT evening. |
| 15:44 |
Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) |
I've been in the tunnels under the mansion and the catgirl places |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Grins, there's a section of the floor that isn't solid... |
| 15:45 |
Phrynne |
or isn't always solid (it can be turned on and off) |
| 15:46 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, true Phrynne |
| 15:46 |
|
lovejoy2199 Wondering. Do the Catgirls have suits? Or do they have to wait until they become women? |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Actually, I can't remember if Stereo does a fall version of the ball also. |
| 15:48 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
she does |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
ty, Andrea |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:49 |
Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) |
Those events are not just for newcomers, either, attendance is open to all |
| 15:49 |
Ember (emberell) |
New, old, or returnees, it's nice to have folk at the dances :-) As long as you're decent. |
| 15:49 |
Phrynne |
Dress code is "wear something" |
| 15:50 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Good point. Liska |
| 15:50 |
Gronk Seriman |
I dress or moral character? *smirks* |
| 15:50 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
dress of course |
| 15:51 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It is a moderate sim, which allows a lot of leeway. |
| 15:51 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
i'm being summoned. Thank you for coming. |
| 15:51 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
