Hi, Carl |

Carl Metropolitan |
Hi Word, Larky |
| 14:35 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
I have a compass HUD that Samm made. Don't remember where I got it. Either of you happen to know? |
| 14:35 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Can't find it on the MP, nor in the alley where she has some of her other creations. |
| 14:36 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Samm has a store in Victoria City on the main square. |
| 14:36 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Yeah, it is just an alley, actually. I checked there, if I have the right place. |
| 14:37 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
right next to another store; Z something, IIRC |
| 14:39 |
Carl Metropolitan |
No. It is a store. A large one with several floors and a maze on top |
| 14:39 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Hi Frigid |
| 14:39 |
Frigid Cryotank |
Carl, good evening. |
| 14:39 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Let me see if I have the LM Larky |
| 14:40 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I don't. If you like I can take you there after Q&A |
| 14:42 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I usually send an announcement for my Q&A to both COUG and ISC. Is that inappropriate? |
| 14:43 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
makes sense to me |
| 14:43 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
thanks. I'll look again, Carl. I had no idea she had a whole store. Definitely have to go visit it. |
| 14:44 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I was there to buy a copy of her Map of Caledon from early this year to make sure I did not accidentally duplicate any stuff she created for mine. |
| 14:44 |
Carl Metropolitan |
It is a good thing I did. I was planning on naming the voids like she did. |
| 14:45 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
:^) |
| 14:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Wait, Carl. Wouldn't you want to duplicate some things, for instance the sims? |
| 14:49 |
|
Larky (larkylouz) snickers. |
| 14:51 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Yes. I mean I did not want to copy the unique stylistic elements |
| 14:52 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
He's razzing you, Carl. He does that rather often, I find. Just try changing your name to something provocative some time! |
| 14:52 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
<snort> |
| 14:53 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Moi? Raz? |
| 14:53 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Oh |
| 14:53 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I was just showing what I meant here |
| 14:53 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Samm named various geographical features that were original to her work |
| 14:54 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Bays, seas, voids, etc. |
| 14:54 |
Carl Metropolitan |
She also added some cartographic dragons. |
| 14:55 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Ahhh. Yes. |
| 14:55 |
Carl Metropolitan |
As my map was going to be a free Oxbridge thing, and hers was a product for her store, I wanted to be sure I did not use her innovations even by accident. |
| 14:56 |
Elenabeth Portal |
Hi |
| 14:56 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The Sea of Numantia causes a momentary feeling of something dear and lost in me. |

Hello Gronk, Elenabeth |

Gronk Seriman |
Good evening, Carl, everybody! |

Hi Lyban, elfbiter, Soup |

Wait. I'm not hosting today. I don't have to say "hi" to everyone :) |

Hey Rainy |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I expect that Phrynne will arrive shortly and suddenly, getting back from a RL location. |

Hi Larky ;) |

Carl Metropolitan |
Hello Phrynne |
| 15:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea appears to be inworld, but may be AFK. |
| 15:02 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Andrea is doing Burning Life a lot this weekend. Or Burn 2 as it is known now. I think. |
| 15:02 |
Soup Jonson |
It is very exciting here. |
| 15:02 |
Phrynne |
Sorry for the late entry -- traffic was a mess. |
| 15:02 |
Cynthia Farshore |
Unfortunately she often is AFK |
| 15:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, I just announced that you were expected to arrive shortly and suddenly. |
| 15:03 |
Phrynne |
Literal traffic was a mess; I had to drive through a construction zone on the way home. |
| 15:03 |
Phrynne |
but I'm here. |
| 15:03 |
|
Phrynne waves to everyone |

Phrynne, did you have anything? Landscaping? Otherness? |

Phrynne |
I do have something... |

AHH Greetings Andrea |
| 15:05 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Hi Andrea |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
I am getting to the end point for pulling together the Advent Calendar gifts and arranging them in boxes. |
| 15:05 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
hiyas |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
If you have promised me a gift and I have not yet received it, *this is the time.* |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
If you promised something and will not be able to do it, I need to know NOW so I can find a replacement. |
| 15:06 |
|
Soup Jonson points at elfbiter |
| 15:06 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Maybe a list of people who have promised gifts so they will know if they have forgotten, or even worse, made one and forgotten to give it to you, or more common, gave it to you and SL lost it? |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
If you have not promised me something, but if you have a gift you'd like to share -- not from a hunt, something General-rated, and possibly vintage or aligned with one of the year-end holidays -- talk to me. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
I have heard from one person for whom RL has become intense; that may mean that two things would be late. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
I do keep a list and have been talking with people. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
but this is for anyone else who might have mentioned it over the last eight or nine months... if we haven't talked lately, and you were on the fence about sending something... let me know if you can. |
| 15:08 |
Cynthia Farshore |
Checking the list to see who is naughty and who is nice? |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
No, Cynthia. The gifts will go to everyone, naughty and nice . |
| 15:08 |
Elenabeth Portal |
Did you get my Christmas ornaments? They were mesh, all 1LI each? |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Naughty AND Nice, many versions contain a typo. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
Yes, Elenabeth, and thank you! |
| 15:09 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Hi Melli |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome, Mellie and carfreeday. |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
I will mention that if we get streakers again and catch them, they may not be able to get the rest of the gifts afterward. So, keep your clothes on when you come to Oxbridge! |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
And that's all for now |
| 15:10 |
|
Soup Jonson notes..no streaking. |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you, Phrynne. |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
but it might slip in |
| 15:11 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I've been busy |
| 15:11 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
there is a notice in the COUG and ISC groups for the upcoming October fundraiser |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
There is a 2 sided poster in the notecard as well, and I can send you a updated notecard that has the textures of the posters if you need them for a advertisement. |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

Carl Metropolitan |
You are welcome |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Burning man started this weekend and runs til next weekend. Lots of art builds and camps and those builds that are in between |
| 15:20 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
A great place to stop and explore |
| 15:20 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The actual burns will be next weekend |
| 15:21 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
There should be a notice in the groups for the ISC and Caledonian Nights that has the LM's and the online schedule |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Nobody has recently told me they want to drop me, Frigid, but Stereo is planning a harvest festival.. ;) |
| 15:22 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Caledon Nights will be at the Lost cemetery of Edger Allan Poe this coming Tuesday, the Goblin Cave the next and finally, To a cemetery build for the Tuesday at the end of the month. |
| 15:22 |
Frigid Cryotank |
Surely you've seen "Drop the <person>" water tanks at Fall fairs? |
| 15:22 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Notices will go out in the regular groups as to LMs |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I have previously experienced being the droppee at harvest festivals, Frigid. |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any thing else, Andrea? |
| 15:24 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The 19th is our big event for this month. There will be a gift giver in operation. The build for the event does have some decorations that have poses. These are for photo opportunities. I plan on adding a bit more before the event |
| 15:24 |
Frigid Cryotank |
@Wordsmith: Ah, a man of experience. Outstanding. |
| 15:24 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Apologies for the scattered information. I was not prepared today. |

Having been away at a conference, I don't have a variety of updates. |
| 15:26 |
Soup Jonson |
Ugg conferences |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
But Andrea's announcements about the fundraiser are especially important. |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I paid tier for the October through December quarter before I left, and accounting for owed Instructor stipends, estimated that we were about 21k $L below my desired buffer value, meaning that we've operated at a loss for the last couple quarters. |
| 15:29 |
RainyDayRecess |
TY Soup ;) |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you, Soup. Much appreciated. |

Carl Metropolitan |
I have a question related to fundraising. I've noticed that some places in Caledon outside of Oxbridge have permanent Oxbridge Donation coins. How can someone who has a venue that might attract a fair amount of traffic, and wants such a coin, go about getting one placed? |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you, Larky. |
| 15:29 |
RainyDayRecess |
wow, Thank you Larky ;) |

You gave already Soup, you can't give again :D |

Love it, thanks again |

Hmm. That's a thought. A fine on streakers... |
| 15:32 |
Phrynne |
at least during Advent Calendar. |
| 15:32 |
Soup Jonson |
lol |
| 15:32 |
Frigid Cryotank |
Soup, I have just the animation for a streak party. |
| 15:33 |
Carl Metropolitan |
The patron program is important. If you are up for giving the RL equivalent of 10USD (2500L$) to Oxbridge each month, consider it. Just 12 patrons (if my math and memory are correct) cover our tier. If we have 12 patrons :) |
| 15:33 |

Thank you so much Cynthia ;) |
| 15:34 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I think people have made up nearly 1/3rd of your shortfall tonight Wordsmith. |
| 15:34 |
Kara2016 |
very pretty.. |
| 15:34 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Maybe a sign above the patron board telling how it all works and how necessary financial support is to COU? |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you all. I'll be catching up on stipend payments and figuring out a new balance, and you all have gone a fair ways at the moment to bring that to a better place. I am very grateful, for it eases the worry in my mind. |
| 15:34 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Some patrons like to be anonymous. I guess you could have blank places for them. |
| 15:35 |
Carl Metropolitan |
A question from earlier that got missed: |
| 15:35 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I have a question related to fundraising. I've noticed that some places in Caledon outside of Oxbridge have permanent Oxbridge Donation coins. How can someone who has a venue that might attract a fair amount of traffic, and wants such a coin, go about getting one placed? |
| 15:35 |
Carl Metropolitan |
This is a general question; not a specific request for me. |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The amount that others care about keeping Oxbridge above the waves always deeply touches me, Carl. |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Generally, an IM or notecard to me, Carl, or if Andrea is organizing she just tells me a coin is needed. In any case, I summon the spirit of Oxbridge Mint to actually place it. |
| 15:38 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Perhaps also a sign at the Advent Calendar gazebo, during the Winter Holidays, explaining fundraising needs, as well. I, myself, am touched at how many avatars I meet who come back years later and say, "I started here at Oxbridge!" |
| 15:39 |
Soup Jonson |
And an Elfbiter bobblehead could work for fundraising. |
| 15:39 |
Elenabeth Portal |
I started here at Oxbridge |
| 15:39 |
RainyDayRecess |
I started here ;) |
| 15:39 |
|
Larky (larkylouz) cracks up. "Sorry, Mr. Elfbiter!" |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
For those who may be new to the community, Oxbridge is entirely supported by donations. Deans are free. Instructors get a 250 $L stipend per class. Tier is 74,750 $L per 13 week quarter. |
| 15:39 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Maybe adding the sign "This one does not eat you" to gazebo? :-) |
| 15:40 |
NormaCenva50 |
I talked with someone in the plaza yesterday who said she started here ten years ago. |
| 15:40 |
Elenabeth Portal |
I have two non-money questions. One is easy, but I did not get something from the pre-Q&A remarks. What was the Sea of Numantia? |
| 15:40 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
And Oxbridge is a Homestead region, not a full one. |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And we ARE open to general questions at this point. |
| 15:40 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Homestead means fewer avatars at a time can be on the sim, and is also cheaper. |
| 15:40 |
Phrynne |
We can have a maximum of 20 at a time; |
| 15:41 |
Phrynne |
that's why this is up here, not down there. |
| 15:42 |
Phrynne |
*looks around and sees nearly 20 here now* |
| 15:42 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Still persisting in hosting the Writers' Meeting... |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Elenabeth, some years back Stonehedge Magic and I had the sims of Numantia and Numantia Maris attached to the west side of Caledon. Numantia Maris was to the west of Victorian Gardens and kitty corner with Oxbridge. Numantia proper was just north of that, originally just west of Caledon Westmoreland. |
| 15:43 |
Elenabeth Portal |
Thank you. |
| 15:44 |
Elenabeth Portal |
Maybe if LL keeps cutting sim prices they can rise from beneath the waves someday |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Numantia was based on a Mediterranean climate. Numantia Maris had the actual topography of Santorini, taken from the Shuttle Radar topography. |
| 15:44 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Depends on if anyone has a copy of sorts... |
| 15:46 |
Gronk Seriman |
I do so miss those sims. |
| 15:46 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Elf, I have a copy of the topography. The placement of Mediterranean pines, vineyards, and groves of orange and olive trees would require resetting. |
| 15:47 |
Soup Jonson |
topography...discussion. I'm in! Begin. |
| 15:47 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Say what, Soup? |
| 15:48 |
Soup Jonson |
I just enjoy topography |
| 15:48 |
Soup Jonson |
sorry |
| 15:48 |
Soup Jonson |
Got excited |
| 15:49 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It is possible to take topography from outside and write a SL acceptable raw file. One can also go the other way, writing a .obj file that Blender can import. |
| 15:50 |
Elenabeth Portal |
Okay. I have another question. This is the one I really showed up for. About a month ago, I suggested that Oxbridge might consider an outreach program to people who run various adult establishments that tend to attract a lot of newbies. Having worked as a dancer (i.e, a stripper) here in SL in the past, I ended up helping a lot of newbies who wandered where the green dots and the sex was. I was wondering if you all had had a chance to think about the idea? |
| 15:50 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The owner of a sim can save a raw file to disk or load one to be the topography. |
| 15:51 |
Phrynne |
We do have a number of avatars from Adult or extremely Mature groups who bring newbies here, but we don't have a program at this point. |
| 15:51 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Based on behavior of some newcomers who are looking for virtual sex, the holders of those establishments may not want them there. |

There is nothing that would prevent such an arrangement, as long as it was handled with a G-rating. |
| 15:52 |
Kara2016 |
interesting. |
| 15:52 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
That is by no means every one of them |
| 15:52 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We do have an ad-panel post for Sakura, btw. |
| 15:53 |
RainyDayRecess |
True |
| 15:54 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Of course we have had notecards that point to various kinds of places. |
| 15:54 |
Soup Jonson |
Oh my |
| 15:54 |
Carl Metropolitan |
One of the places on the Steamlands notecard is A-rated, I believe. |
| 15:54 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
And not all Adult regions have virtual sex |
| 15:55 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So, if you or someone else wanted to sound out interest in bringing people here, I've no objection. They just have to arrive looking G-Rated. |
| 15:55 |
Phrynne |
And behaving in a G-rated way, also. |
| 15:55 |
Kara2016 |
true. |
| 15:56 |
Elenabeth Portal |
So I could do it as a project, but it would not have official Oxbridge backing? |
| 15:56 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from, just dress and behavior while at Oxbridge. |
| 15:57 |
Cynthia Farshore |
It is possible to have adult activity inside a closed building with signs explaining such is inside. |
| 15:57 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I can appoint you as a representative, and thus you have official backing. |
| 15:57 |
Cynthia Farshore |
for education only purposes |
| 15:57 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:57 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
But not on a G-rated sim, Cynthia. |
| 15:58 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Moderate sim yes. |
| 15:58 |
Cynthia Farshore |
Village is mature |
| 15:58 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes. |
| 15:58 |
Elenabeth Portal |
Okay. I will see if I can figure out some of the details. And ideas on how to get people to buy in. And maybe a poster they could use that said "Oxbridge is G-RATED; Come Dressed" |
| 15:59 |
Elenabeth Portal |
Thank you. |
| 15:59 |
Phrynne |
There was at one time an A-rated newcomers area in .. Zindra, perhaps? It had tutors, and explanations, but I suspect it is long gone. |
| 15:59 |
Elenabeth Portal |
I think there is one somewhere |
| 15:59 |
Gronk Seriman |
This Lecture hall is Moderate or Mature. Just not Adult. |
| 15:59 |
Elenabeth Portal |
I went once and it was more about sex than helping newbies |
| 15:59 |
Elenabeth Portal |
But maybe it changed |
| 15:59 |
Elenabeth Portal |
I will look at it again. |
| 15:59 |
Kara2016 |
Smiles brightly. |
| 16:00 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And we would be happy to help the newbies (and accept any donations from them, no questions asked) |
| 16:00 |
Elenabeth Portal |
Thank you, Wordmight. |
| 16:00 |
Elenabeth Portal |
Darn! |
| 16:00 |
Elenabeth Portal |
Thank you Wordsmith |

Autocorrect is evil. |

And, by the way, the latest Stormhold notecard is up in the ad panels. |
| 16:00 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Oh, the possibilities of nicknames.... |

Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) |
Gronk Seriman gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 16:01 |
Elenabeth Portal |
We no longer have huge Tracts of Land in Stormhold, but we still have a lot of nice parcels! |
| 16:01 |
Phrynne |
I have been sending people in that direction when they ask about open land. |
| 16:01 |
RainyDayRecess |
Thank you Gronk ;) |
| 16:01 |
Elenabeth Portal |
Thank you, Phrynne |
| 16:02 |
Gronk Seriman |
I'm selfish. I wanted to get my own burny spin. |
| 16:02 |
|
Gronk Seriman smirks |
| 16:02 |
Carl Metropolitan |
On a similar topic, I upgraded the "Looking for Land in Caledon" posters here at Oxbridge |
| 16:02 |
Soup Jonson |
I won't lie I enjoyed the 'adult' talk part of the meeting. |
| 16:02 |
Carl Metropolitan |
The old ones were very hard to read and were 1024x1024 |
| 16:03 |
Carl Metropolitan |
These are half the size and big text |
| 16:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It works both ways. Our community supports Oxbridge, and Oxbridge does what it can to support our community and features that help create community. |
| 16:03 |
RainyDayRecess |
Thank you Carl, that is very helpful |
| 16:03 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Great work Carl. |
| 16:04 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I also updated the info in them so people did not go to Desmond's Profile looking for non-existent parcels for rent in his picks |
| 16:04 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Instead I told them to ask in COUG or ISC |
| 16:04 |
Carl Metropolitan |
And email him |
| 16:04 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
ISC is invitation only |
| 16:04 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I don't think the "drop notecard on profile" works well with the default set to web-based profiles. |
| 16:05 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Is it still? I periodically have to add someone, and no one objects. Just if they ask to be a part of ISC chat. |
| 16:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any last quick questions? |
| 16:06 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If not, we are .... |
| 16:06 |
Carl Metropolitan |
It is easy to get an invite to ISC |
| 16:06 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Just ask |
| 16:06 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
adjourned... |
| 16:06 |
Carl Metropolitan |
But I also put COUG on the poster, too. |
| 16:06 |
RainyDayRecess |
Thank you Deans ;) |

Thank you all |

Hold the fort |
| 16:08 |
Kara2016 |
the problem is I know not a rock of wisdom from a wisdom tooth. |
| 16:08 |
Phrynne |
The rock hurts less, over time. |
| 16:08 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Be seeing you |
