Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, what have ye for today? |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
I have two items for today |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
First, I've been picking up the pieces of a project from a couple of years ago. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
It has always seemed to me that if you come through Oxbridge you should have a little wisdom to take away with you. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
So, I have been working on making a wishing well that gives out notecards with wise or interesting sayings on it, if you donate even 1 $L |
| 15:09 |
Kara2016 |
smiles brightly. |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome, Jules |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
:-) |
| 15:09 |
Jules Doghouse |
word |
| 15:09 |
Jules Doghouse |
:) |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
The script has been written, by Mr. Taff Nouvelle, and the well was donated by Jorge Serapis, but I'm putting together the notecard with a couple hundred quotations --and checking all of it for typos and bad spacing and so on. |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
I hope to have that ready to put together very soon. |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
The second thing is that we have a resource at Oxbridge that most people don't know about, so I want to tell you about it: the Atelier. |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
It was created as a place for people to work on clothing -- there is a runway, and there are books and information there on how to fit clothing to a classic body -- but it also has worktables. |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
And these worktables are perfect for you to sit at if you are making something small, where you need to look closely at pieces and fit them together. |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
That's where I've made hats -- that's where I made the staff medallions -- that's where I've made a lot of things. But usually I'm the only one up there. |
| 15:12 |
Phrynne |
You get to the Atelier by way of a teleport pad just around the corner of the building from the one for the Sandbox. |
| 15:12 |
Phrynne |
And it is there, available for you for building things. |
| 15:12 |
Phrynne |
I would suggest not using it during a building class downstairs (since it's over the Lecture Hall and shares its prims) but at any other time it's a good place to work on projects. Feel free to go check it out! |
| 15:12 |
Phrynne |
And that's what I have for today. |
| 15:13 |

Thanks, Elf. That way I only need to mention it when not relevant. |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I've gotten back into the swing of things after a ISP outage first of the week. We will be having a COU Anniversary get-together this Sat the 26th at 1 and 7. We will be in my Library |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
It is not a fundraiser, but there will be a donation coin there in case anyone wants take the opportunity to donate. |
| 15:17 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Maybe a DJ or we may use a music stream |
| 15:17 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

Rebuilding still ;( sorry |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And animesh is on the main grid, which makes them considerably simpler to do. |
| 15:39 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Have to update viewers for that |

I think they are now |

The rebuild could take some time, not sure, honestly I was doing good to get an ink bottle made but I'm on it again |
| 15:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That depends on Rainy's time. She's done a multi-piece horse and is now doing a rigged single piece horse. |
| 15:41 |

However, the horse is done ;) |
| 15:42 |

So a lot of the basic design is done. |

Other questions? |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Hearing nothing |
| 15:45 |
Gronk Seriman |
With the hopeful arrival of the multilingual Orientation signboards, is there a place in the Oxbridge staff for multilingual Tuyors? |
| 15:45 |
Gronk Seriman |
*Tutors? |
| 15:45 |
Phrynne |
There is always room for multilingual tutors. |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There is always that. |
| 15:46 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
There are tutors with something else than English as native language, for one |
| 15:47 |
Phrynne |
Mowgli Soy, who is an apprentice tutor, is bilingual in Spanish |
| 15:47 |
Phrynne |
If he is here you can always ask him for help |
| 15:48 |
Gronk Seriman |
I know we have a few people already on staff. But like a title in their language, Like Docent, um....I'm not multilingual. |
| 15:48 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Well, most of as know at least typonese... |
| 15:48 |
тαℓıηα ℜoѕє (talina718) |
lol |
| 15:48 |
Gronk Seriman |
I speak it fluently. |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
As with instructors for new classes, the difficult is in finding those with the knowledge, ability to convey knowledge, and people skills. |
| 15:49 |
Phrynne |
Adding official tags is a bit of a problem, since SL only allows 10 per group. |
| 15:49 |
Phrynne |
and all the COU slots are full. |
| 15:49 |
Gronk Seriman |
Ah! |
| 15:49 |
Phrynne |
We have had to create apprentice tutor tags on COUG. |
| 15:49 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Curses |
| 15:49 |
тαℓıηα ℜoѕє (talina718) |
would it be easier for one to wear a translator hud just in case no one else is around |
| 15:49 |
|
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) is not fond of machine translation |
| 15:50 |
Phrynne |
I wear one all the time. |
| 15:50 |
Phrynne |
It is generally good for most European languages, not so good elsewhere. |
| 15:50 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We have a staff translator, so that's already available. |
| 15:50 |
Phrynne |
and actively bad for things like Japanese or Arabic |
| 15:50 |
Sandie Harbour |
It's a good translator too |
| 15:50 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
And Oxbridge is not "kirsikkapuu"... |
| 15:51 |
Sandie Harbour |
Word did an amazing jobe on it |
| 15:51 |

I just feel we are reaching for another level if we go multilingual. We are used to trying to shuttle people off to helpful areas. But if we are multilingual in house, I hope we can do it right. |
| 15:53 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I think sending people to Ayuda Brasil has worked well. If the person in question actually goes there... |
| 15:53 |
Phrynne |
Often as not, I go there first and teleport them in |
| 15:53 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A step at a time, Gronk. Perhaps multi-lingual tutorial boards will promote more multi-lingual tutors. |
| 15:54 |
Gronk Seriman |
That is my hope. |
| 15:54 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Aika näyttää |
| 15:54 |
Phrynne |
At least, if we have people using the French and Spanish versions, we may get more interesting questions. |
| 15:55 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And this is not intended to preclude sending people to good native language help centers, but to help where such help centers are often moving and/or winking in and out of existence. |
| 15:55 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Anybody know working Turkish one? |
| 15:56 |
Phrynne |
If someone finds a working Turkish help center, please let me know. |
| 15:56 |
Sandie Harbour |
Is there an updated list of referrals? |
| 15:56 |
Phrynne |
the one in the last Faculty Info Kit is the latest I have. |
| 15:56 |
Phrynne |
it is about six months old |
| 15:57 |
Gronk Seriman |
It is also my hope that we can encourage the unstable language centers to feel at home here. |
| 15:57 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That likely means that some are already out of date, given history. |
| 15:57 |
Phrynne |
So far none have reported back as missing |
| 15:58 |
Sandie Harbour |
My faculty kit is dated 2014-10-29 |
| 15:58 |
Phrynne |
I put one out in COU notices six months ago |
| 15:58 |
Phrynne |
all staff should have gotten that |
| 15:58 |
Sandie Harbour |
must have missed it |
| 16:00 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I don't think that Phrynne has those so that they expire. |
| 16:00 |
Sandie Harbour |
she just gave me one |
| 16:00 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else that's short? |
| 16:00 |
Phrynne |
If you did not get a faculty info kit during the 2 weeks that it was available in COU notices, please send me a notecard and I will send it to you. |
| 16:01 |
Phrynne |
Likewise, if your info kit is missing anything, let me know and I will send things |
| 16:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That brings up the suggestion of a packing list. |
| 16:02 |
Phrynne |
It should include giveaways for visitors, staff-only information, and information on foreign-language resources |
| 16:03 |
|
Gronk Seriman raises a hand for the faculty info kit. |
| 16:03 |
Phrynne |
please send me a notecard. |
