| 14:59 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | :-) |
| 15:02 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome to this week's Caledon Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting; |
| 15:02 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | all are welcome apart from those who intend to misbehave in a disruptive manner. |
| 15:02 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Non-disruptive misbehavior is at your discretion. |
| 15:02 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Transcripts will be posted after the meeting. |
| 15:02 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | at http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/qna/qna_index.php |
| 15:02 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | With all the parties going on, this may be a short meeting. |
| 15:03 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Ember, do you have anything from Commons? |
| 15:03 | Ember (emberell) | I've been collecting decorations and studying landscaping mostly. It's been fairly quiet here. |
| 15:04 | Ember (emberell) | I've been quite appreciative of people sending me various Halloween themed findings they've been finding, it's helped a lot! |
| 15:04 | Ember (emberell) | I don't have much to report besides that. I have a lot to learn, but I'm getting there. |
| 15:04 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Has Jorge been sending links to you? |
| 15:04 | Ember (emberell) | Oh yes. He's been a great help. |
| 15:04 | Ember (emberell) | He finds some really neat little freebie gifts. My inventory is a mess, so I'm sorting that today |
| 15:05 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Good, because he's been sending me links and right now, I can only collect them. |
| 15:05 | Ember (emberell) nods | |
| 15:05 | Ember (emberell) | I'll clear up the last of that in the next few days and get ahead, I hope. |
| 15:06 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I may create something like Oxbridge Warehouse as a shared repository but haven't got there yet. |
| 15:06 | Ember (emberell) | Oh, actually, Word, that was a thought I had pondered |
| 15:06 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | If you rez things, check them for staying together as you cam out to a reasonable distance. |
| 15:06 | Ember (emberell) | Do we have a resource like Oxbridge mint we may use for storing decorational materials that are purchased? |
| 15:07 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | That would be Oxbridge Warehouse or Oxbridge Storehouse once I create it. |
| 15:07 | Ember (emberell) | Ok, great. I'll consolidate what I can there when you make that. Thanks. |
| 15:08 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Can sort things there by type, season, etc |
| 15:08 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea? |
| 15:08 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | We have a lot of events coming up. We had a great turn out at the Bi-weekly fundraiser at Jan and Sigards place. Currently we are holding our own in fundraising with a nice pad against any hard times. many thanks to the patrons, advertisers and general nonators for our current success. There will be a COU/Caledon Halloween Ball the 28th starting at 6 to 9 is the current plan. More on this soon. Caledonian Nights will be having Halloween themed dances every Tuesday the rest of the month. Notices to come out each week to avoid confusion. There will be a Halloween dance fundraiser at Steelhead Bay on the 14th starting at 7 pm. A notice to go out in the ISC later tonight. Any donations of items to be given away at the ball would be appreciated. |
| 15:09 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | back to you word |
| 15:09 | Larky (larkylouz) | so how would that work? Is it prim/object storage or some sort of account? I'm having trouble picturing what you mean. |
| 15:10 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | A separate account, as is Oxbridge Mint, Oxbridge Engineer, Oxbridge FreebieManager |
| 15:11 | Larky (larkylouz) | Oh, ok. gotcha |
| 15:11 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | A shared account used only for its purpose. |
| 15:12 | Ember (emberell) | So that when deanship changes, we don't lose access to things that may be used for Oxbridge |
| 15:12 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Oxbridge Dodo? :-) |
| 15:12 | Larky (larkylouz) | hee! |
| 15:13 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I've paid tier, including a 14th week, which takes us out to Jan 6 as the next 13 week payment. |
| 15:14 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | At this point we are in excellent shape with 83k $L above the 225; reserve and the accumulated tier liability for the quarter to date. |
| 15:16 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | However, Andrea and I concur that it's a good idea to stow away more than normal with the economic uncertainty from the pandemic. We simply don't know how it will affect donations in the coming year. |
| 15:17 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | more fundraisers are coming inworld |
| 15:17 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I've finished the graphics for seven of the 15 kiosks in the college of avatar movement. |
| 15:17 | RainyDayRecess | Nice work! |
| 15:18 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | good news, appreciate the hard work you are doing |
| 15:18 | Larky (larkylouz) | You all work so hard. thank you |
| 15:19 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | the poster on the floor infront of the stage is buyable for 0 lindens, incase you didn;t get one in notices. |
| 15:19 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Number 7 currently gives a gift of "courtly gestures". I'm considering creating a "Caledon Oxbridge Flight Challenge" badge instead. It's still early in the tutorial and nothing about gestures has been mentioned. |
| 15:20 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And, Rainy is to the point of putting out rezzers for ridable horses. |
| 15:20 | Ember (emberell) | Oh, how wonderful |
| 15:21 | RainyDayRecess | Yes, those are really close now thanks to you ;) |
| 15:21 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | excellent |
| 15:22 | RainyDayRecess | I'm also starting to update the Ad boards now, thanks for reminding me Andrea |
| 15:22 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | She likely won't consider calling them volcanic soil horses. |
| 15:23 | Larky (larkylouz) | She might. YOu never know. |
| 15:23 | RainyDayRecess | :D |
| 15:23 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea, do you remember off-hand the rate for an adboard slot? |
| 15:23 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | no but it is in my notes |
| 15:23 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | will find it |
| 15:24 | RainyDayRecess | $2,500L/month for Sponsors? |
| 15:24 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | No, that's patrons |
| 15:24 | RainyDayRecess | I thought Patrons were $1,000L/month? no? |
| 15:24 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And did we float the lower tier of patrons? |
| 15:24 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | That would be the lower tier. |
| 15:25 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | the adds were 4000 $L for a 13 week period |
| 15:25 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Makes sense. Ads for a quarter |
| 15:26 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And patrons get one if they wish. |
| 15:27 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Since the high tier patron is doing more like 7500 $L per quarter. |
| 15:28 | Ember (emberell) | Where are the available boards? Are they just the ones on the billboards and in the classroom? |
| 15:29 | RainyDayRecess | Okay, so who gets on the Ad boards? Only Sponsors? Or high tier Patrons as well? |
| 15:29 | RainyDayRecess | Also down by the Lecture Hall / Plaza |
| 15:29 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Mainly the ones outside the lecture hall door. The ones in the classroom get minimal hits. |
| 15:30 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Patrons and ad sponsor and several by Oxbridge or Community sweat efforts. |
| 15:31 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome, Kiki |
| 15:32 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | So, we can talk, Rainy |
| 15:33 | RainyDayRecess | Okay, thank you |
| 15:33 | RainyDayRecess | '....after class Rainy' |
| 15:34 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | That's the content I had, open for questions. |
| 15:34 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Still hosting the Writers' Meeting 11:00 AM SLT |
| 15:35 | RainyDayRecess | You mentioned Flight Challenge? What exactly is that? |
| 15:35 | RainyDayRecess | Sorry if I missed it at another meeting ;( |
| 15:35 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | In building two, kiosk 7, there is a challenge to fly up and read the name of a whale. |
| 15:36 | Ember (emberell) | In the hall of avatar motion, there is a challenge to find the name of the aquatic skeleton hanging up in the top of the room. Students need to fly up there and type the name to get the prize |
| 15:36 | RainyDayRecess | Oh, that one! |
| 15:36 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | The poster is titled "Flight Challenge" |
| 15:36 | RainyDayRecess | Yes, I remember that |
| 15:36 | RainyDayRecess | It was a long time ago tho |
| 15:37 | Ember (emberell) | Word, would there be a place we might put the gestures gift if we move it from that area? Or would they simply go to the train station? |
| 15:37 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Flight feathers are no longer useful |
| 15:38 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | We could consider that. Have to get new full perm ones from Kamilah to do anything with them. |
| 15:39 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Or we could get the perms and continue using them there, but newbies know nothing about gestures at that point. |
| 15:39 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I'm open to ideas on this (as with most things) |
| 15:40 | Ember (emberell) | Hm, perhaps we could offer them as a reward for a kiss given to the dodo? |
| 15:40 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | :-) |
| 15:40 | Larky (larkylouz) | Any one tempted to kiss the dodo needs *something!* Demented bird |
| 15:40 | Ember (emberell) laughs | |
| 15:41 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Absinthe? |
| 15:41 | RainyDayRecess | :D |
| 15:42 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Anyway, something we need to decide on before the building 2 kiosks go out. |
| 15:42 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Anything else? |
| 15:43 | Ember (emberell) | Oh, Word - I can provide my folders to the Oxbridge warehouse - I've been creating some organizational folders to help me sort my stuff |
| 15:43 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Then, we are adjourned. |
| 15:44 | Ember (emberell) | But besides that, I have nothing :> |
| 15:44 | RainyDayRecess | Thank you Deans! |
| 15:44 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Okay, I'll create the account and give you the info. |
| 15:44 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Thank you for coming and participating. Off to the various parties as you wish. |
| 15:45 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Bedtime for me. |
| 15:45 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Hold the fort. |
| 15:45 | RainyDayRecess | Sleep Well EB |
| 15:45 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Be seeing you |
