15:01 Ember (emberell) That is the bell, however, so let me welcome you all to this week's General Q&A session. Where you all can ask us questions - about Second Life, Caledon, Or Oxbridge at large. While we usually take questions of a general nature, if there's something you want to ask that you're concerned about you can always IM me with your question and I'll do my best to answer there, too.
15:01 Ember (emberell) First off, we're going to make a few community event announcements, then we'll open for questions
15:01 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) or we will throw you a waffle

15:06 KimDworkos entered chat range (16.92 m).
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hi felicia
15:06 Phrynne What's the status of Caledon Quest? I've gotten questions from visitors to Oxbridge.
15:06 Felícia Ferraz (jucastt) hello love
15:06 Felícia Ferraz (jucastt) hello all
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hi kim
15:07 KimDworkos hello everyone
15:07 Ember (emberell) Ok, open for all questions!
15:07 Ember (emberell) I beleive Marion is working on finding locatiosn that would suit the quest
15:07 Ember (emberell) But he hasn't been able to find many that are workable. There is some debate as to whether the quest will come back.
15:08 Phrynne I have been telling people it will happen when it happens.
15:08 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Any music channel suggestions?
15:08 Ember (emberell) We are trying to find places to work it in, though.
15:08 Ember (emberell) Ah, yes, we have had an issue with the stream at Oxbridge. The old classical stream seems to have gone down.
15:08 Felícia Ferraz (jucastt) venice classical radio, biutuful classical music
15:08 Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) Another classical ststion, I assume, Elf
15:09 Felícia Ferraz (jucastt) thats sad
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) sits next to mr lj
15:09 Ember (emberell) If we do have any recommendations, I can put them together and send them on to Word. Please just let me know.
15:09 lovejoy2199 lol
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) fees have gone up and up i hear
15:09 Ember (emberell) nods
15:09 Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) One with a bit more orchestral and less chamber music would be my choice
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hi Fringe
15:09 Fringe Element (fringeelement2) waves :)
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) We need a DJ maybe
15:10 Ember (emberell) Welcome, Fringe. We are open for questions
15:10 Phrynne aw, chamber music's the fun stuff.
15:10 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Atleast no free jazz....
15:10 Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) But there's so much good stuff I never hear on Venice
15:11 Ember (emberell) Notably, also, LL is looking to restart the mentor program. They put out a notice looking ofr new members recently, for those unaware
15:11 Ember (emberell) More information here: https://community.secondlife.com/blogs/entry/13552-a-new-generation-of-second-life-mentors/?click_source=firestorm_splash
15:12 Ember (emberell) With that said, questions?
15:13 Felícia Ferraz (jucastt) i'm not very much fan of classic music, so i'll remain without a contribution to make since i dont know any radio to recommend
15:13 Felícia Ferraz (jucastt) bisous
15:13 Ember (emberell) That's quite alright, Felicia
15:13 Phrynne What about some of the Radio Riel stations? I think there are 14 of them?
15:13 lovejoy2199 Yes. Andrea: Do you know which region your exhibit will be in? Being that it starts this week.
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) yes one min
15:14 Ruth (moabite) entered chat range (19.46 m).
15:14 Ember (emberell) Those might be a good option, Phrynne. Are they the same sort of music?
15:14 Ember (emberell) Welcome, Ruth
15:14 Phrynne They are all sorts of music, Dean.
15:14 Ember (emberell) nods
15:14 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hi Ruth

15:18 KimDworkos oh, thank you
15:19 Ember (emberell) Yes! It'll be a blast.
15:19 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) And crowded
15:19 Ember (emberell) Very crowded, especially opening day.
15:19 Ember (emberell) Be careful travelling
15:19 Phrynne it's best to go late at night or during the day, off prime time
15:20 Phrynne but, whatever works for you.
15:20 lovejoy2199 Shop and Hop opens a day early.
15:20 Phrynne there should be podcars to ride to tour the place and see what's out there.
15:20 Ember (emberell) The podcars are quite nice.
15:21 lovejoy2199 Ohhh yes. Ride the pod cars.
15:21 ღKayleigh (therealandressia) Nice to load the build as well the first time.
15:22 lovejoy2199 btw: Andrea: Did you write anything for the pod cars?
15:22 Phrynne as I look at World Map, they have at least three groupings of regions for SLB, so be sure to check the map and not miss anything.
15:22 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) yes i did
15:22 lovejoy2199 Nice
15:22 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) my build has free booze and cigarettes
15:23 ღKayleigh (therealandressia) I'm there .
15:23 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) and dancing
15:23 ღKayleigh (therealandressia) giggles'
15:23 ღKayleigh (therealandressia) <--- virtual lush
15:23 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) but it is like synthahol. not bad for you
15:23 Ember (emberell) Any other questions?
15:23 lovejoy2199 And, another thing: Will the 'Catgirls' have an exhibit?
15:23 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) yes
15:23 Ember (emberell) nods
15:23 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) well the cat ship
15:24 Ember (emberell) Ameowzing news :-)
15:24 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) lady aev did a great job
15:24 Phrynne Robokitty!
15:24 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) What catgirls.....
15:25 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) what dungeon?
15:25 Ember (emberell) Any other questions? Well. Serious questions :-)
15:25 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) I categorically and axiomatically deny the existence of catgirls, no sirree....
15:25 Phrynne Just because Des doesn't admit to their existence doesn't mean we have to follow him...
15:26 Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) The catgirls secretly run Caledon, the Guvnah is just a figurehead
15:26 Ember (emberell) hehehe.
15:26 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Catgirls built the Stonehenge
15:26 Ember (emberell) Hearing no further questions, I'm going to go ahead and call today's Q&A adjourned. As always, though, I will linger in case any of you do have any questions on the way out
15:26 Ember (emberell) Thank you all for coming, and for your questions!
15:26 Ember (emberell) They're what keep us going here :-)
