| 15:07 | Katie (katie.canningham) | YAY!!!! |
| 15:07 | Larky (larkylouz) | I don't have a lot today. I added quite a bit to the Notion page I've created for staff: https://www.notion.so/Second-Life-Resources-for-COU-Staff-e4afd11e4c0447158f8989cc4c083b96 |
| 15:07 | Larky (larkylouz) | mostly fun stuff |
| 15:08 | Larky (larkylouz) | I also added to the Faculty Kit; those updates, primarily of more for. lang. notecards will be available once Ember returns and is able to go through them. |
| 15:08 | Larky (larkylouz) | I'm updating the flag display in the Entry hall - that should be good to go tomorrow or the next day. |
| 15:09 | Larky (larkylouz) | Wordsmith did ask me to point out the additional chart information on the wall behind me. |
| 15:09 | Larky (larkylouz) | Hi Sandy. Welcome |
| 15:09 | Sandy Burgess | Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen |
| 15:09 | Larky (larkylouz) | His comments: The bottom two ages seem to have dropped from about 20% to 10%. The age hist plot is Jan 2020 through July 2021. The number plot is, as the dates show, two full years. The class monitor collects a histogram of attending avatar ages for each class that runs And the total attendees. So mostly just summing up that data. |
| 15:09 | Larky (larkylouz) | He'll discuss it more at next week's Q&A. |
| 15:10 | Larky (larkylouz) | Okay, let's open it up to community announcements. |
| 15:10 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Still hosting th Writers' Meeting.... |

| 15:15 | lovejoy2199 | /me getting dumber by the minute |
| 15:15 | Larky (larkylouz) | Sounds like Fun! |
| 15:15 | Larky (larkylouz) | Okay, I believe the floor is open for questions |
| 15:17 | Gronk Seriman | Andrea, I found your build at BurningMan2. Nice! You may as well plug it here for fun. |
| 15:17 | Larky (larkylouz) | Indeed! |
| 15:17 | Sandy Burgess | What is BurningMan2? |
| 15:17 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | it was actually a old one i reused |
| 15:17 | Fringe Element (fringeelement2) | LM please! |
| 15:18 | Sandy Burgess | Yep - need a LM too |
| 15:18 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | I don't have it in this avatar |
| 15:18 | Fringe Element (fringeelement2) | /me nods, "Awww" |
| 15:18 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | but i will make a notice after the fundraiser |
| 15:18 | Fringe Element (fringeelement2) | /me smiles :) |
| 15:19 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | and a notice |
| 15:19 | Larky (larkylouz) | Burning Man is a recreation of the RL event. I am not super knowledgeable about it, so I'll leave it to others to explain. |
| 15:20 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Probably less billionaires with their catering stuff |
| 15:20 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | Best way to learn about BM is to go to BM |
| 15:20 | Gronk Seriman | It's held every year on a huge, flat playa out in the desert in Nevada. |
| 15:20 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | there are builds |
| 15:20 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | educational |
| 15:20 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | and fun ones |
| 15:21 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | art builds |
| 15:21 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | and gifts |
| 15:21 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | it is non commercial |
| 15:21 | Katie (katie.canningham) | and nudity |
| 15:21 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | so no selling stuff |
| 15:21 | Sandy Burgess | /me gasps |
| 15:21 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | they have now a cam that broadcasts on the web, in case you can't get in |
| 15:21 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | there is a effigy that is burned at the end |
| 15:22 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | and it burns and falls apert |
| 15:22 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | lots and lots of music |
| 15:22 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | i'll make a notice a bit later and put it out |
| 15:22 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | I think it started today maybe |
| 15:22 | Katie (katie.canningham) | burningman2 has - or had - a nude beach, so be warned! |
| 15:23 | Gronk Seriman | Just Google BurningMan2 Second Life. You'll easily find a well-run website that explains it all, including calendars for events. |
| 15:24 | Katie (katie.canningham) | being nakeee is not a requirement, but just know you will encounter it. |
| 15:24 | Gronk Seriman | https://www.burn2.org/ |
| 15:24 | Fringe Element (fringeelement2) | but, we can still go naked right? |
| 15:24 | Gronk Seriman | And yes, it starts tonight. |
| 15:25 | Katie (katie.canningham) | You can, but you don't have to. |
| 15:25 | Katie (katie.canningham) | There might be more rules about it on the website. |
| 15:25 | Sandy Burgess | The unfortunate thing is that it is not my choice who is naked ... so you might end up with unwanted visuals ... |
| 15:26 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | we don't allow sex acts though. just topless sometimes |
| 15:27 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | the Internet cam has reduced that I think |
| 15:29 | Katie (katie.canningham) | Fortunately there's plenty at BurningMan2 besides the nudity. |
| 15:29 | Larky (larkylouz) | Yes, it sounds like a rich event with lots of SL creativity. |
| 15:29 | Katie (katie.canningham) | And music! |
| 15:30 | Larky (larkylouz) | Is it only annually, Andrea? It seems like you're often involved there, not just once a year. |
| 15:30 | Larky (larkylouz) | Welcome Frigid |
| 15:30 | Frigid Cryotank | Larky, good afternoon. |
| 15:31 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | Oh they have events many times during the year |
| 15:31 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | some are fundraisers |
| 15:31 | Larky (larkylouz) | I thought that might be the case. |
| 15:31 | Gronk Seriman | The RL BurningMan is annual.. The SL BurningMan2 has several events during the year. |
| 15:33 | Larky (larkylouz) | Hi Veritie |
| 15:33 | Larky (larkylouz) | Welcome |
| 15:33 | Veritie Starlight | Hello :) |
| 15:33 | Larky (larkylouz) | Seems like we've covered Burning Man. Other questions/comments/discussion? |
| 15:34 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Extinguishing Woman? :-) |
| 15:34 | Lizza Nikolaidis | Yes |
| 15:34 | Lizza Nikolaidis | The one who had the cam problem did they notice any problems with their graphics settings changing |
| 15:35 | Lizza Nikolaidis | and then changes not sticking |
| 15:35 | Larky (larkylouz) | Was that someone here, Lizza? |
| 15:35 | Lizza Nikolaidis | Yes just a second ago someone said they had a camera issue |
| 15:36 | Lizza Nikolaidis | that was my first issue today then the issue with the changed settings and new settings not sticking |
| 15:36 | Gronk Seriman | Are you mixing up here and Firestorm Support chats? |
| 15:36 | Lizza Nikolaidis | I followed the advice of firestorm support and cleared all settings and now they are sticking again as they should |
| 15:37 | Katie (katie.canningham) | I also saw a "Cam 1.0" statement on local chat. |
| 15:37 | Gronk Seriman | I saw that, too. |
| 15:37 | Larky (larkylouz) | I think the mention of camera had to do with a live cam conversation at Burning Man |
| 15:37 | Larky (larkylouz) | Yes, I saw that notification |
| 15:38 | Lizza Nikolaidis | Sorry |
| 15:38 | Katie (katie.canningham) | What does it mean? |
| 15:38 | Gronk Seriman | Or somebody installed a camera device. It happened right after you mentioned the charts on the wall. |
| 15:38 | Larky (larkylouz) | thanks for the information, though. Who knows who will be helped by it? |
| 15:38 | Lizza Nikolaidis | :) |
| 15:39 | Larky (larkylouz) | Yes, Gronk. I expect it was a HUD someone added.Not sure why it was announced in Nearby Chat. That could get old if all HUDs announced their presence! |
| 15:39 | Gronk Seriman | Yep. |
| 15:40 | Larky (larkylouz) | Next thing we know, they'll start talking to each other. |
| 15:40 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | Afraid I have to log out and back in for the fundraiser. see you all soon. the location is across the region near the south east corner |
| 15:40 | Fringe Element (fringeelement2) | lol |
| 15:40 | Katie (katie.canningham) | Cheers! |
| 15:40 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) | behind the ghostbusters firestation |
| 15:40 | Larky (larkylouz) | Here's your assignment for two weeks for now. Write a possible conversation between SL HUDs in Nearby Chat. ;^) |
| 15:40 | Fringe Element (fringeelement2) | one hud saying to the other, "No, how YOU doin?" |
| 15:40 | Larky (larkylouz) | Thanks, Andrea |
| 15:41 | Larky (larkylouz) | Any further questions? Comments? Discussion? |
| 15:42 | Gronk Seriman | /me sings "Huds! Exciting and new. Hop aboard. They're expecting youuuuuuu..." |
| 15:42 | Katie (katie.canningham) | LOL |
| 15:42 | Larky (larkylouz) | Okay, before the HUDs start asking their own questions, we are going..... |
| 15:43 | Fringe Element (fringeelement2) | /me smiles :) |
| 15:43 | Larky (larkylouz) | Going..... |
| 15:43 | Larky (larkylouz) | Gone |
| 15:43 | Gronk Seriman | Thank you, Larky! And Andrea! |
| 15:44 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Okay, attempted bedtime for me. |
