15:03 Ember (emberell) And welcome, Spike
15:03 Gronk Seriman entered chat range (17.79 m).
15:03 Ember (emberell) With that said, I'm going to go ahead and open the floor to questions from you all!
15:03 Spike Rose (spike.bloodrose) Hi hi.
15:04 Ember (emberell) And welcome, Gronk!
15:05 Spike Rose (spike.bloodrose) i have a 'lil question actually, on the subject of events; is there a board for that, similar to the class schedule boards? has one been considered, or would that be work to upkeep?
15:05 Ember (emberell) Actually, Caledon has a calendar of events that all are welcome to peruse. Let me get you a link, Spike.
15:05 Larky (larkylouz) There are several. The Aether Chrononauts Calendar, The SL Events Calendar. I also put events and classes on Facebook and Twitter
15:05 Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) A couple of notes: Tonight's movie in the Goblin Cave is "Puss in Boots", but I'm not sure which one, as there are two or three
15:06 Ember (emberell) https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=59h3ei5al27kcfi6ojgs1dht40@group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Chicago
15:06 Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) And don't forget Andrea's Caledon Nights dances every Tuesday at 6
15:07 Spike Rose (spike.bloodrose) ahh okay okay. thank you! i get curious what's going on sometimes but i thought there might have been something on-sim somewhere. x)
15:07 Ember (emberell) This calendar specifically talks about Caledon events - as Larky said, for a more general list of events, there is the SL event calendar, which hosts a wide variety from every source, as well as other calendars like the Aether Chrononauts calendar as well
15:07 lovejoy2199 Andrea: Do you know where your build at SL20 will be located?
15:08 Larky (larkylouz) Aether Chrononauts is specific to steamlands events
15:08 Ember (emberell) nods
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) shrugs, not sure it is going o happen now. they still have not assigned a plot
15:08 Ember (emberell) IF you need any help putting that together, Andrea, just holler
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) i will be getting busy with other projects
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) so if they wait to late.
15:09 Ember (emberell) nods
15:09 Spike Rose (spike.bloodrose) i hope it pans out. SL20 could be a massive advertising opportunity.
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I mauy not worry about it. Linden labs has let me down before
15:09 Ember (emberell) I hope they don't this year, your displays are always lovely
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) The SLB is a Caledonian Nights display
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I ws thinking Word was doing one?
15:10 Phrynne if so it is just COU
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Or was tied up on the new university regions
15:10 Ember (emberell) I think he intends to do one for Oxbridge, but I'd need to double check with him
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) nods
15:10 Ember (emberell) Other questions?
15:11 Ember (emberell) Oh, and thank you, Liska, for listing the movie tonight!
15:11 Larky (larkylouz) Second Thursdays, 5PM Word co-hosts a Sci-Fi Short Story reading and discussion. Details pending
15:12 Ember (emberell) nods
15:12 Ember (emberell) I'll prod him, see if he won't let me announce it here
15:12 Ember (emberell) As for my announcements, I usually only relay the ones people have consented for me to relay - I'm open to folk reaching out if they're hosting events in CAledon they want me to let people know about!
15:13 Ember (emberell) And one minor announcement - LL reports they are working on the friend list bug that people have been complaining on, though they haven't reported a solution to it entirely, they have put out a guide for those looking to fix it
15:14 Ember (emberell) You can find these announcements and other status issues here: https://status.secondlifegrid.net/
15:14 Spike Rose (spike.bloodrose) it does seem to be intensifying...had a number of friends appear online when they said they'd logged for the night.
15:14 Spike Rose (spike.bloodrose) and vice-versa.
15:14 Ember (emberell) Yes. While the solution presented isn't perfect, it should effectively refresh the issue with the list.
15:14 Spike Rose (spike.bloodrose) really appreciate the link!
15:14 Ember (emberell) Er, refresh the list itself so the issue isn't present
15:15 Ember (emberell) Hearing no questions - anyone? Any question is welcome! questions, comments, announcements...
15:15 Ember (emberell) If we have no more I'm tempted to wrap up early today :-)
15:16 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hopefully we will see you at the stage at 4
15:16 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Some group profiles also show empty members lists
15:16 Ember (emberell) Yes, that's a separate issue actually - members lists may appear empty until loaded. Sometimes to make them load you need to be a part of the group
15:16 Ember (emberell) Though they can load in after a time.
15:16 Ember (emberell) they don't show that they're loading very well, or when they've failed, so it can be difficult to know if they're not showing due to an error
15:18 Ember (emberell) With that said, I'm hearing no further questions. So I'll go ahead and let you all go for the day! thank you all for coming, and for the questions ❤
15:18 Gronk Seriman Thank you, Deans!
15:18 Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) Thanks Ember and Andrea
15:18 Ember (emberell) As always, I'll linger a time just in case any last minute questions occur on the way out. And remember! Oxbridge isn't anything without you all- staff, students, and guests all, we appreciate you all
