15:03	Angela Black (angelablack23)	hello everyone
15:03	Agatha Macbeth	Hello
15:04	Agatha Macbeth	Ember was with us a moment ago...
15:04	Ember (emberell)	Pardon my delay
15:04	Agatha Macbeth	Yay
15:04	Ember (emberell)	I've been busy with RL lately - it's been somewhat challenging ,but I've been keeping up with campus matters, working on decor and updating things for the post-Christmas season
15:05	Ember (emberell)	Aside from that I've been working on some updates to some of the notecards, but it's been slow thanks to the aforementioned RL. (Power was out last week thanks to a sudden chill)
15:05	Agatha Macbeth	:(
15:05	Ember (emberell)	All that aside, Oxbridge is always looking for new help staff - tutors, teachers, or otherwise. If you're wanting to get involved here, please never hesitate to reach out to me, or any of the other staff here and we can get you involved
15:05	Ember (emberell)	that's it from me today
15:06	Wordsmith Jarvinen	ty Ember
15:06	Strandwind	Thank you Ember!
15:06	Wordsmith Jarvinen	Andrea, what from you?
15:06	Andrea Jones (andreajonesms)	Hi all
15:07		Agatha Macbeth waves to Andrea
15:07	Strandwind	Heyaaaa Andrea!
15:07	Andrea Jones (andreajonesms)	RL has been a bit rough for me this week as well.. A few things. Hi Agatha and Strandwind
15:07	Andrea Jones (andreajonesms)	DJ Sasha is till not in a position to DJ For us as she awaits rl money to buy computer parts. Last week we had a fund raiser on Tuesday night; the formal winter ball. The music was great and we had a small gathering of people and I believe everyone had a good time. I have the intention to plan another next Sunday with a new DJ, theme, and time. DJ and location to be announced.
15:08	Andrea Jones (andreajonesms)	I'm thinking another winter related event before the snow goes. Neo said it would be after valentines day.
15:08	Andrea Jones (andreajonesms)	So plenty of time for events
15:09	lovejoy2199	Back
15:09	Agatha Macbeth	WB
15:10	lovejoy2199	Hello To everyone
15:10	Strandwind	Hello Lovejoy!
15:10	Rachela Rossini	Hello:-)
15:10	Andrea Jones (andreajonesms)	I believe that is all currently for the COU. Tuesday night will be live night with Rosedrop Rust and DJ Cynthis
15:10	Andrea Jones (andreajonesms)	back to you Wordsmith
15:11	Andrea Jones (andreajonesms)	and many thanks to those who donate
15:11	Strandwind	Thank you, Andrea.
15:11	Wordsmith Jarvinen	ty Andrea, BTW I emailed you the current financial workbook 2 weeks ago.
15:12	Andrea Jones (andreajonesms)	Many thanks for your hard work word. I know we are a bit behind on collection
15:13	Wordsmith Jarvinen	The Oxbridge visitor timeline graphs and the class attendance graphs were also updated two weeks ago. The education reserve map (at the bottom) I updated this last week.
15:14	Wordsmith Jarvinen	Well, Andrea, RFL seems to have gone year round which cuts into all other donations
15:14	Andrea Jones (andreajonesms)	I have a backup plan if needed
15:15	Wordsmith Jarvinen	The transcript for the January Caledon Community Meeting has joined the other such transcripts at https://www.caledonoxbridge.org/ccm/ccm_index.php
15:15	Wordsmith Jarvinen	All instructor stipends are paid to date.
15:16	Wordsmith Jarvinen	And the visitor statistical summaries on our website are current: https://www.caledonoxbridge.org/statistics/index.php
15:16	Wordsmith Jarvinen	You have to scroll down a ways for the monthly summaries.
15:18	Wordsmith Jarvinen	Rachela has recreated her Tango venue and that now shows on the middle and bottom rows of the ad panels in front ot the lecture hall. She has also agreed to have a sign linking back to Oxbridge, something Evey has been pushing for.
15:19	Agatha Macbeth	Woot
15:19	Wordsmith Jarvinen	Any thing more you'd like to say on that, Rachela?
15:20	Rachela Rossini	Thank you Wordsmith! ALl are welcome. I have a new dance system with exquisite Bento dances and my own tango radio without commercials.:-)
15:20	Agatha Macbeth	Sounds good
15:20	Rachela Rossini	ANd for those who are into vintage disco music from the 70s and 80s, I now have a discothèque in the sky with my own radio as well.:-)
15:21	Wordsmith Jarvinen	With a TP from the Tango club
15:22	Rachela Rossini	I am also in the process of reinstalling all of Cassie Edelman's miniatures houses as a permanent exhibition.. I see she is one of your sponsors here.:-)
15:22	Wordsmith Jarvinen	Nice!
15:22	Wordsmith Jarvinen	ty Rachela.
15:23	Rachela Rossini	I will be honoured to have your poster and LM on my land as well.:-)
15:23	Strandwind	Thank you Rachela!
15:24	Rachela Rossini	My pleasure:-)))
15:24	Wordsmith Jarvinen	One more observation, at least a couple of friends here have noticed that delays on support tickets are running in weeks, not just hours or days.
15:24	Agatha Macbeth	Oh dear
15:25	Wordsmith Jarvinen	And yes, LL has had a grid status up, about support delays, but that didn't say they were this lengthy.
15:25	Rachela Rossini	I have experienced that too. Extremely long delays.
15:26	Agatha Macbeth	Madori dealt with something very promptly for me just before Xmas
15:26	Wordsmith Jarvinen	With that open for general questions, comments, announcements, comas, ...
15:27	Larky (larkylouz)	Prolly blame it all on PBR, right? <snort>
15:27	Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter)	punctuations, semicolons...
15:27		Gronk Seriman sings "Comma Chameleon" to herself.
15:27	Wordsmith Jarvinen	Madori is a treasure. I've worked with her via the Virtual World Education Consortium (VWEC). She's the LL liaison to that.
15:28	Agatha Macbeth	:))
15:28	Agatha Macbeth	Hope you're dodging the RL fires Word?
15:28	Wordsmith Jarvinen	They are 450 miles south of me, Agatha, so I'm safe and fine.
15:28	Agatha Macbeth	Whew
15:29	Agatha Macbeth	Good to hear
15:29	Andrea Jones (andreajonesms)	Just a note.
15:29	Wordsmith Jarvinen	Andrea?
15:29	Agatha Macbeth	♫
15:29	Andrea Jones (andreajonesms)	Phrynne is out with a RL illness. She may not be in for a bit
15:30	Agatha Macbeth	Awwww
15:30	Andrea Jones (andreajonesms)	good to hear on your safety word
15:30	Wordsmith Jarvinen	I've seen that on FB, her favorite tea currently tastes awful.
15:30	Agatha Macbeth	Poor Phrynnie
15:31	Wordsmith Jarvinen	Sick but not severely so.
15:31	Agatha Macbeth	Hopefully it's not cat flu
15:31	Andrea Jones (andreajonesms)	She should recover
15:32	Agatha Macbeth	Well I certainly hope so
15:32	Wordsmith Jarvinen	Since her current SL form is a cat, that would be unfortunate.
15:32	Agatha Macbeth	Indeed
15:32	Wordsmith Jarvinen	Which is entirely different than being recovered (like a couch)
15:33	Wordsmith Jarvinen	Any other topics?
15:33	Strandwind	Question in the same direction: I am sooo glad, that Suzanna now teaches scripting here. (Although I really appreciated Sandy Burgess classes.) I know, that Suzanna has issues in RL now and cannot teach. - But do you know when she will return?
15:34	Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter)	I think she was briefly inworld recently
15:34	Larky (larkylouz)	I saw her log on this morning, so I'm hoping it will be sson.
15:34	Wordsmith Jarvinen	Well, the last I heard from Evey was over a week ago and that Suzanna needed a couple more weeks before returning.
15:36	Strandwind	Thank you. - Good to hear that Suzanna was online again recently. - I press my paws.
15:36	Wordsmith Jarvinen	That's all I've been told.
15:36	Strandwind	Her classes are really awesome!
15:36	Wordsmith Jarvinen	Anything else?
15:37	Wordsmith Jarvinen	And thanks Larky and Elf on her brief appearance
15:37	Wordsmith Jarvinen	Hearing nothing more....
15:37	Wordsmith Jarvinen	We are....
15:37	Wordsmith Jarvinen	adjourned

15:38	Rachela Rossini	Bye bye now:-)))
15:38	Gronk Seriman	Thank you, Deans!
15:38	Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter)	Okay. Attempted bedtime
15:39	Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter)	Hold the fort
15:39	Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter)	Don't try to fill the moat with marmite.
15:39		Gronk Seriman grasps her bench firmly.
15:39	Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter)	Be seeing you
