Caledon Oxbridge General Q&A for 2021-08-15

14:50 Larky (larkylouz) Hi Carl
14:50 Carl Metropolitan Hi
14:50 Carl Metropolitan Are you taking over General Q&A now?
14:51 Larky (larkylouz) Word and I are alternating.
14:51 Larky (larkylouz) I know how to moderate some, but I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as you or Word. We'll see. I guess I'll learn.
14:51 Carl Metropolitan I fake a lot of it by having Google open in another window.
14:52 Larky (larkylouz) I do know how to Google.
14:52 Carl Metropolitan And by skimming the last week of Living in a Modem World and New World Notes for current stuff that came up.
14:54 Carl Metropolitan Maybe have the SL Wiki up in a second window.

15:03 Casdetra Hi Agatha
15:03 Larky (larkylouz) Hi Agatha
15:03 Harperlass Waves and a Hug to Andrea
15:03 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) ty
15:03 Larky (larkylouz) One moment and I'll get started.
15:03 Harperlass Hi Phrynne
15:05 Larky (larkylouz) Okay, let's start.
15:05 Larky (larkylouz) As you may know, Carl has decided to step down from moderating these General Q&As. The plan going forward is that Word and I are going to alternate weeks.
15:06 Larky (larkylouz) Word will be doing a Dean's Q&A with Ember and Andrea on the 2nd and 4th weeks and I will do the others with Andrea.
15:06 Sandy Burgess Oh - so Word is looking for more work to do?
15:07 Larky (larkylouz) My play is to tap the knowledge of the community. If we can't answer a question, I'll research it afterwards and get back to the questioner. Word also sometimes makes notes in the transcript before he posts.
15:07 Larky (larkylouz) LOL. Yeah, well, Word is one with many hands in many pots.
15:08 Larky (larkylouz) Are there any questions before I hand over the floor to Andrea?
15:09 Larky (larkylouz) Andrea, please share your announcements?
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) We have the bi-weekly fundraiser with Dj Sasha today at 4. A special build was made for it. The theme is a New Orleans styled carnival. We have rides, games, food, drinks, those kinds of activities.
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) We have a new dance floor for the event as well.
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) let me get the LM for you
15:11 Larky (larkylouz) Hi Jan, welcome
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hi Jan
15:11 Harperlass Applause for Andrea
15:11 Jan Stroikavskoi Hi :)
15:11 Sandy Burgess Being a boring European I will sleep while you party
15:12 Larky (larkylouz) :^)
15:12 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) hopes nobody deletes the dance floor
15:12 Larky (larkylouz) LOL. Elf
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hmm the LM won't give me a SLURL. if you look in the group notices there is a notice. or im me and I can send you the lm.
15:13 Larky (larkylouz) Okay, thank you
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) notices were sent in the 3 COU groups, and the ISC group
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) back to you Larky
15:14 Larky (larkylouz) Okay, I should note that I'm now placing notices of COU-related events in the SL Events Calendar. If you lead an event, get word to me so I can add it. I do have the events that are on the class schedule.
15:14 Larky (larkylouz) Is there anyone else who would like to make an announcement?
15:15 Larky (larkylouz) Elfbiter? Cas? OldeSoul?
15:15 OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) I have a question
15:15 Larky (larkylouz) Feel free, Olde.
15:15 Casdetra I'm still doing the Meditation class at Caledon Oxbridge Village (241,183,1028)
15:16 Casdetra Fridays at 11 SLT
15:16 Larky (larkylouz) Please send me a nc Cas
15:16 Larky (larkylouz) write up a blurb if you will, please
15:16 OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) Are we still collecting for the advertisers outside the build?
15:17 Larky (larkylouz) Outside the build?
15:17 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I think he means the sponsor board
15:17 OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) Cassie had an advertisement at COU
15:17 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) And I host the Writers' Meeting !!:oo AM in Thursdays.
15:17 OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) yes
15:17 OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) Sorry
15:17 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I'll be looking into that soon Olde
15:18 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) the add is still there
15:18 Larky (larkylouz) Please send me a nc, Elf. I don't trust my memory
15:19 OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) ok - I just had not heard for a while
15:19 Larky (larkylouz) Thanks to those who sent me notecards. I'll put them in my plan for the calendars.
15:19 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) nods. I am aware.
15:19 OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) ok - then we are good
15:19 OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) Thank you
15:19 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) yes.
15:19 Larky (larkylouz) Okay, sounds like I have several things to add to the SL event calendar and there are no more announcements?
15:19 Larky (larkylouz) In that case, I'm opening the meeting up for questions.
15:20 Sandy Burgess How can I add things to the Caledon freeby collection?
15:21 Larky (larkylouz) Carl, are you still taking care of that?
15:21 Carl Metropolitan I am taking care of the one at Oxbridge. I think the one at Victoria City is under Desmond's control.
15:22 Phrynne Samm might know.
15:22 Larky (larkylouz) Ah, good point. I hadn't thought of that one.
15:22 Carl Metropolitan I have promised to work more on that now that I don't have a weekly event.
15:22 Carl Metropolitan Sandy, which freebie collection did you want to put your item in?
15:23 Sandy Burgess Actually it is only one item. A time zone clock HUD that has SLT and one configurable time zone to have an overview - I can give you a copy to try
15:23 Sandy Burgess There might be more with time
15:24 Carl Metropolitan Send a copy to OxbridgeFreebieManager
15:24 Gronk Seriman mutters "...with time." Ha! I get it!
15:24 Carl Metropolitan Along with instructions about perms you want set in a folder with it.
15:25 Sandy Burgess Is OxbridgeFreebieManager an avi?
15:25 Carl Metropolitan Yes
15:25 Larky (larkylouz) Thank you, Sandy.
15:25 Sandy Burgess Ok - I will send that out
15:25 Carl Metropolitan It is one of the various Oxbridge owned accounts
15:26 Carl Metropolitan This way he owns all the freebies and the account can be transfered if needed.
15:26 Larky (larkylouz) Thank you, Sandy and Carl.
15:26 Larky (larkylouz) Any further comments on that?
15:27 OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) only full perm ?
15:27 Sandy Burgess I guess the script needs not be mod?
15:28 Sandy Burgess But if you want perms changed you need to give the object mod
15:28 Carl Metropolitan No. Freebies can be given out "No Transfer", but OxbridgeFreebieManager needs to have one with Copy & Transfer enabled.
15:28 Carl Metropolitan A no mod script should not be an issue
15:28 Sandy Burgess That is obvious
15:28 Sandy Burgess ... the copy&transfer
15:29 Larky (larkylouz) Shall we move on to further questions? Anyone?
15:30 Sandy Burgess One of the comments leads to another question: Who "owns" Caledon?
15:30 Larky (larkylouz) Desmond Shang does.
15:30 Larky (larkylouz) He's often referred to as the Guv or the Guvnah
15:31 Larky (larkylouz) He actually started Oxbridge back in the day.
15:32 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) built a lot of it
15:32 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I think
15:32 Carl Metropolitan Umm... Oxbridge was founded as a collaboration between Caledon and NCI. And in the middle of it, NCI pushed me out, so it became Desmond and I.
15:32 Carl Metropolitan Desmond built all the original buildings.
15:32 Larky (larkylouz) Indeed. He built Oxbridge based on RL photos of Cambridge and Oxford in Britain.
15:32 Carl Metropolitan Most have since been replaced with meshed versions by Ravelli
15:32 Larky (larkylouz) Oh, I didn't know that, Carl. thank you.
15:33 Carl Metropolitan Yes. I created the original tutorial path. And organized the original slate of classes. And sandbox & tutorial stuff.
15:33 Gronk Seriman With stained glass windows by Martini Discovolante.
15:33 Katie (katie.canningham) What is NCI?
15:34 Carl Metropolitan Yes. Martini was the second Chancellor of Oxbridge after me, too.
15:34 Carl Metropolitan NCI = New Citizens Incorporated.
15:34 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) You did great work Carl. As evidenced that the Uni is still here
15:34 Larky (larkylouz) Another help area. New Citizens Incorporated?
15:34 Carl Metropolitan A large new user help group and area.
15:34 Katie (katie.canningham) ah, ok.
15:34 Carl Metropolitan Their main site is Kuula on the mainland.
15:37 Larky (larkylouz) Carl has been part of lots of SL history! Any further discussion on that topic? [ed. note: COU is now an independently run, tier-paying tenant organization within Caledon.]
15:38 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I see Sasha is at the fund raiser platform. I will need to step out and finish the preparations,. . I hope to see you all there in 20 min. If not, be well, be safe.
15:38 Larky (larkylouz) Thank you, Andrea.
15:39 Katie (katie.canningham) cheers
15:39 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) we are gonna party.
15:39 Larky (larkylouz) Do sit down some. I feel for you standing in those shoes for very long.
15:39 Larky (larkylouz) ;^)
15:39 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) this dress doesn't lend itself well to sitting.
15:39 Larky (larkylouz) Ah. Understood.
15:39 Larky (larkylouz) changed clothing to sit on this flower!
15:40 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) poofs, theme is carnival new orleans style. see you there.
15:40 Larky (larkylouz) Sounds like fun.
15:40 lovejoy2199 This should get me into trouble. 'Women, and their fashion.'
15:40 Katie (katie.canningham) yeeha!
15:41 Larky (larkylouz) I have a Firestorm cat who frequently feels it necessary to comment upon my ability to "walk in those shoes"!
15:41 Larky (larkylouz) Further questions/comments?
15:41 Harperlass I have a KittyKat that comments on many of my choices...it is odd
15:42 Larky (larkylouz) He's a mouthy sort, 'tis true.
15:42 Larky (larkylouz) Hi Agatha. Welcome back
15:42 Larky (larkylouz) Anyone have more questions? It may be time to adjourn.....
15:43 Larky (larkylouz) Going once
15:43 Larky (larkylouz) going twice...
15:43 lovejoy2199 Fair Waring!!!
15:43 Sandy Burgess Fairy warning?
15:43 lovejoy2199 warning
15:43 Katie (katie.canningham) Warfaring?
15:43 Sandy Burgess dives into cover
15:44 Sandy Burgess Warfairy?
15:44 Harperlass that aert klaxon starts
15:44 Larky (larkylouz) Remember that if you have a question that can't wait for next week, there is a mailbox that reaches the deans in the main Lecture Hall
15:44 OldeSoul Eldemar (oldesoul) Thank you so much Larky
15:44 Larky (larkylouz) thank you Olde! :^)
15:44 Jan Stroikavskoi Thanks! :)
15:44 Sandy Burgess Thank you Larky
15:44 Larky (larkylouz) Okay, that's it for this week. Take care, be safe and have fun. Good night, all
15:44 Carl Metropolitan Also, you can always ask questions in COUG chat, too.
15:44 Katie (katie.canningham) Cheers and thanks Larky!
15:45 Larky (larkylouz) Yes, indeed, Carl
15:45 Larky (larkylouz) thanks for your help today!
15:45 Gronk Seriman Thank you, Larky!
15:45 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Okay, attempted bedtime for me.
15:45 Larky (larkylouz) Sweet Dreams, Elf
15:45 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Hold the fort.
15:45 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Be seeing you
15:45 Gronk Seriman G'night, Mr. Skysmith!
