| 15:00 | Katie (katie.canningham) | Badger Of Zen! |
| 15:00 | 1st Darkmatter | :) |
| 15:00 | badgerofzen | hullo all |
| 15:01 | badgerofzen | hullo Katie |
| 15:01 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome, badger |
| 15:01 | badgerofzen | hullo |
| 15:01 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | What have you for this week, Ember? |
| 15:01 | 1st Darkmatter | oO |
| 15:01 | 1st Darkmatter | agatha :) welcome |
| 15:02 | Ember (emberell) | Much of my work has been buried in notecards this week, double checking some landmarks on our most requested ones. As usual, if others find anything off or odd on notecards, please feel free to send me an IM about it, any bit helps |
| 15:02 | Ember (emberell) | In the same vein, Oxbridge is always looking for more people willing to help out! Whether as tutor staff, teachers, or otherwise. Our traffic has been a bit up lately, so we can always use more hands on deck! Just reach out to me, or any of the other staff here and we can figure out how to get you involved |
| 15:02 | Ember (emberell) | that's it for me this week! |
| 15:03 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | ty Ember |
| 15:03 | Soup Jonson | mild applauds for Ember |
| 15:04 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Since Andrea is not (yet?) in her chair, it turns to me |
| 15:05 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | With all instructor stipends paid to date, we are up about 4k $L since 28 July and remain in very good financial shape. |
| 15:06 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I haven't updated the graphs on the wall behind me, but the weekly and monthly summary statistics on our website are current. |
| 15:07 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | An interesting feature from the weeklies, the last 3 weeks for first day & first week avatars visiting went 5/7, 5/6, 11/19. |
| 15:07 | 1st Darkmatter | can i ask? |
| 15:07 | 1st Darkmatter | oO |
| 15:07 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | You can, 1st |
| 15:07 | 1st Darkmatter | why voice not allowed > |
| 15:08 | 1st Darkmatter | teachers is better to speak |
| 15:08 | 1st Darkmatter | notes |
| 15:08 | 1st Darkmatter | keep going |
| 15:08 | 1st Darkmatter | ♥ |
| 15:09 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | It became a problem at the plaza for helpers. And both there and here are the same main parcel. Voice is allowed in the main lecture hall, Café Vox, and the chat circle. |
| 15:09 | Ember (emberell) nods. "It's a side effect of the lecture hall moving onto campus." | |
| 15:09 | 1st Darkmatter | done |
| 15:10 | 1st Darkmatter | ty |
| 15:10 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And for these meeting having things in chat facilitates a transcript |
| 15:10 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | I overheard a number of apparently domestic arguments in the voice channel. Probably Brazilian Portuguese... |
| 15:10 | Katie (katie.canningham) | O.O |
| 15:10 | 1st Darkmatter | katie ;p haha |
| 15:11 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | And some <bleep> filed the voice chat channel with noise. |
| 15:11 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Some of the reasons why voice channel in the plaza was muted. |
| 15:11 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | One thing I picked up on to share, Collada files are used to import mesh into SL, but as of Blender 4.2, Collada files are depricated. |
| 15:12 | 1st Darkmatter | we have the 2024 technology to place the voice only to the professor spot,,, just in case |
| 15:12 | 1st Darkmatter | ♥ |
| 15:14 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | The reasons behind that seem to be incompatibility with current compilers and last openCollada library support being six years ago. |
| 15:15 | Agatha Macbeth | Nothing like being up to date eh :P |
| 15:17 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Another SL bit coming this fall is a change in voice support from Vivox to webRTC https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/510261-webrtc-is-replacing-vivox-for-voice-communication-in-sl/ |
| 15:17 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | With that, open for general questions, comments, comas, etc |
| 15:17 | lovejoy2199 | Now,that is interesting. |
| 15:18 | Katie (katie.canningham) raises a paw | |
| 15:18 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Katie? |
| 15:18 | Katie (katie.canningham) | I just wanted to add that the COU Fundraiser is today. Andrea sent out a reminder to the COU group on Thursday. |
| 15:19 | Katie (katie.canningham) | It's today at 4pm SLT, the theme is Rockabilly, and the location is https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/510261-webrtc-is-replacing-vivox-for-voice-communication-in-sl/ |
| 15:19 | Katie (katie.canningham) | oh crap lemme grab the SLurl again |
