15:01 Larky (larkylouz) In terms of my announcements, they mostly have to do with updates to the Notion page: https://www.notion.so/caledonoxbridge/Second-Life-Resources-for-COU-Staff-e4afd11e4c0447158f8989cc4c083b96
15:01 Larky (larkylouz) In particular, I found a page on SL account Security, from the Lindens, which is on the page.

15:05 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) but I'll be in and out this week
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) back to you Larky
15:07 Strandwind Thank you for your work Andrea.
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) thank you for your donations. they keep the lights on
15:08 Larky (larkylouz) Thanks, Andrea. One more note from me: Twice recently, we have discovered that someone was being very inappropriate with a new person. In one instance, the inappropriate person was someone I thought was trustworthy. We can't be paranoid, but please be aware that people do come here (to COU) for less than stellar reasons, and many new folks won't report it. Just keep your eyes and ears open. Ember may have more to say on the subject.
15:08 Larky (larkylouz) Hi Lyn, Welcome
15:08 Larky (larkylouz) Ember, any announcements from you?
15:09 Ember (emberell) I'll just say, Oxbridge is a place for learning. A few times we have to deal with people using it to try to pick up students, or otherwise be somewhat inappropriate (intentionally or not). IT can be hard to tell who a bad actor is just from their looks, but if you see or hear anything odd, please -please- let one of the tutors know, and me (if possible).
15:09 Ember (emberell) The pneumatic tube in the lecture hall goes straight to the deans' emails too, if there's ever trouble or something you aren't sure about seeing.
15:10 Ember (emberell) Tutor staff know to send their reports to me either through there or by directly sending them to me via notecards
15:10 Larky (larkylouz) And if someone asks you if someone is reliable, be sure to ask them why they're asking! Get the entire story if you can.
15:10 Ember (emberell) Yes, exactly so. "Is something the matter?" or "Are they making you feel uncomfortable?"
15:10 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) /me shines his ejection boots
15:11 Ember (emberell) Even if they're a tutor, it's important to ask and make sure students and guests and.. .everyone, at Oxbridge, is feeling welcome and safe.
15:12 Ember (emberell) Besides that, I did put out the new copy of the faculty kit via the group notices for staff. I realized belatedly I didn't include the faculty lounge LM, so if anyone wants a copy of that just let me know. I've handed a few out to tutors too so they can send them to each other
15:12 Ember (emberell) Thanks a lot for your help on that, Larky ❤
15:12 Larky (larkylouz) Once I have a chance to touch base with Ember to find out if there's information about this I shouldn't share, I'm open to talking in more detail privately.
15:12 Larky (larkylouz) /me nods. Thank you, Ember
15:13 Larky (larkylouz) Further announcements, all?
15:13 Ember (emberell) that's it from me
15:14 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Still hosting the Writers' Meeting - Thursdays 11:00 AM. I don't bite or swallow whole.
15:14 Larky (larkylouz) LOL

15:15 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Major General Badger still has the radio drama hour on Monday Nights at 7:30
15:15 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I can send you the LM as it is in the same place every week
15:15 Larky (larkylouz) It looks like we're done with announcements. I'm opening things up for questions and discussion
