| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
it could be a short meeting |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I just put out the last call (late). So some come only when that's put out. |
| 15:05 |
Frigid Cryotank |
I'm getting a lot of voice-chat disconnects/reconnect messages. |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
hmm |
| 15:06 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
People who trigger a voice chat to an entire group, yes. |
| 15:06 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Buddha Center has had lots of voice chat troubles. |
| 15:06 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |

Phrynne, Have anything for this week? |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
I have one item |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
We have a theme for the 2019 Advent Calendar: |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
Vintage. |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
That would include mechanical things before 1920 and non-mechanical anything from 1800-1910 or so |
| 15:10 |
|
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) still thinks vintage is more than ten years ago, unlike some people |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Very old bottles of wine ..... |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
We will also, always, take things that are for holidays, but it would be nice to have things that fit the theme and fit a year-end holiday also. |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It certainly is with computer equipment, Elf |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome, Maikel. |
| 15:11 |
Maikel (maikel217) |
sorry to be late |
| 15:11 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Same people think that five years ago is "ancient history" |
| 15:11 |
|
Phrynne does not want to see any "vintage" Peace Signs, for example. |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
But I hope this theme will get people thinking about what they can make and donate for gifts. |
| 15:12 |
Phrynne |
As usual, if anyone has questions, please contact me or Star. |
| 15:12 |
Phrynne |
And that's it from me today |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you, Phrynne. |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea? |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Nothing today, We had a great turn out last night for the fundraiser dance at the pavilion |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
and thanks to those that came |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
and those that donated to the event. |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Hopefully there will be a Sunday bi weekly event coming soon there as a fundraiser. |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It started slow, but by the time I needed to leave there was a good turnout. |
| 15:14 |
Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) |
Kara2016 gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 15:14 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
very much so, especially considering there were 2 other events running at the time |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome, Kara and thank you. |
| 15:14 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
looks back to word |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I also received a payment to me from Baron Klaus which went into one of the coins at the pavilion. |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Nothing from me this week other than I'm playing catch-up on multiple fronts. |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Both SL and RL. |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
With that, open for general questions, comments, announcements. |
| 15:17 |
Sulley Daviau |
i have 3 comments if i may |
| 15:17 |
Sulley Daviau |
first |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
you may. |
| 15:18 |
Sulley Daviau |
I've noticed a generally increasing trend of greater numbers of non-English speakers arriving at the welcome area |
| 15:18 |
Sulley Daviau |
i am just thinking out loud here.. but perhaps we should we should add a few signs or whatever in Portuguese or other languages |
| 15:18 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I have noticed some French and Portuguese speakers at least. |
| 15:18 |
Sulley Daviau |
to help them navigate the initial steps there |
| 15:18 |
Sulley Daviau |
or perhaps to foreign area links |
| 15:19 |
Sulley Daviau |
i can help with the translation |
| 15:19 |
Sulley Daviau |
I've noticed that a few other welcome areas have those |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
For which languages, Sulley? |
| 15:19 |
Sulley Daviau |
i recommend Portuguese, French, and Japanese |
| 15:19 |
Phrynne |
There is currently no French help area. |
| 15:20 |
Phrynne |
none that I know of. |
| 15:20 |
Sulley Daviau |
i agree - none that i know of |
| 15:20 |
Sulley Daviau |
and actually most the the French speakers i run into also speak English |
| 15:20 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I think Tasha has dealt with some Russians |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There are signs right before exiting the entry building. |
| 15:20 |
Sulley Daviau |
but not so much with the Portuguese (Brazilians) |
| 15:20 |
Phrynne |
The information attached to the signs may be out of date. |
| 15:20 |
Sulley Daviau |
yes but maybe we could plus of the signage |
| 15:21 |
Sulley Daviau |
if you agree, i can do a study and present a few options at our next meeting |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We are working on the multi-lingual tutorial. I believe we still need Portuguese translations. |
| 15:21 |
Phrynne |
All tutors should have the current notecard that lists help areas in other language, including Portuguese and Japanese. |
| 15:21 |
Phrynne |
and should be able to help the visitors |
| 15:21 |
Phrynne |
at least with those. |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Faculty kit item. |
| 15:22 |
Sulley Daviau |
For me - English is my third language. Whenever i arrive in a sim I am always looking around for things to help me |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And yes, since those are Lindal's signs we may need to nudge her to update them |
| 15:24 |
Sulley Daviau |
i will check out the sign links and examine a few things if acceptable and present a few considerations for our next meeting. |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That would be great, Sulley. |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:26 |
Sulley Daviau |
I also wanted to say that Dean Phrynne's Ramone's T-shirt is awesome |
| 15:26 |
Phrynne |
The t-shirt was a gift from Martini Discovolante, who made it. |
| 15:26 |
|
Frigid Cryotank imagines everyone camming to see... :-) |

Still with weird writing prompts. |
| 15:29 |
Phrynne |
Weird is good |
| 15:29 |
Kara2016 |

| 15:29 |
Ravenhame (emberell) |

| 15:30 |
Sulley Daviau |
weird is always good |
| 15:30 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
There is crude and rude and I avoid those |
