| 15:10 | Paxton Kitten (paxtonpawston2008) | Ok sis. |
| 15:10 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Recent statistics on visitor numbers and on class attendance are on the wall behind me, if anyone has questions about those. |
| 15:11 | Larky (larkylouz) | Nothing much here. The flags display is on hold because there are script issues with the new version that need to be worked out. I'm open to help on that front if anyone is a scripter. |
| 15:11 | Strandwind | No questions. |
| 15:12 | Garret Black (pantau) | What is "weekly class attendance", pls [ed. note: The students in each class summed over all teh week's classes] |
| 15:12 | Strandwind | But I have to say, I was at Larky's Inventory class and it was very useful. Thank you. |
| 15:12 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I should be able to take a look at that in the next couple of days, Larky |
| 15:12 | Larky (larkylouz) | thanks , Strandwind. Okay, thank you Word. I'll get you a copy later today |
| 15:13 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Glad to have the feedback, Strandwind. |
| 15:13 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I have all instructor stipends paid to date, So no outstanding liability there. |
| 15:13 | Sandy Burgess | What is the issue with the flag? |
| 15:14 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Sandy ... sssh |
| 15:14 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | . Balance : 453,054 $L Day into current quarter : 67 Accrued Tier Liability : 55,036 $L Base Reserve : 225,000 $L Total Liability : 280,036 $L Surplus : 173,018 $L |
| 15:14 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And there's the rest of the financial synopsis. |
| 15:15 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Our full tier, btw, is 74,750 $L per quarter (91 days) |
| 15:16 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | We pay instructors 250 $L per class, partly to compensate for uploading fees |
| 15:16 | Gronk Seriman | Just to clarify, Tier = Rent. |
| 15:16 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | We have the fundraiser today and the big bash in October. |
| 15:17 | Kiara Kitty (maxinefox2008) | /whisper Oh crap. Well Pax, all I can say is just deal with it. |
| 15:17 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Those plus the wonderful donations everyone makes will help us add to that |
| 15:17 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea has done a tremendous job in building up more than normal reserve since economic effects of the pandemic aren't really known. |
| 15:17 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Given current events. I like a nice buffer. |
| 15:18 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | nods |
| 15:18 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Many thanks to those that donate |
| 15:18 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | we don't waste the lindens |
| 15:18 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | excuse me word |
| 15:19 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And good point, Gronk. Oxbridge is independently run and is a rent-paying entity to Desmond Shang, who owns Caledon and in turn pays tier to Linden Lab |
| 15:21 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | We are entirely community funded, largely via Andrea's efforts. |
| 15:21 | Kiara Kitty (maxinefox2008) | /shout What did you play before SL, Word? |
| 15:22 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I only ask, people give. |
| 15:22 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | and many thanks to them. |
| 15:22 | Strandwind | Thank you for your efforts Andrea. |
| 15:22 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Many give without being asked |
| 15:22 | RainyDayRecess | Thank you so much for all of your hard work Andrea, you help so much in keeping this place running and funded |
| 15:22 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Mostly RL, Kiara. Computational physics, massage instruction, and massage politics. |
| 15:23 | Kiara Kitty (maxinefox2008) | Very interesting. |
| 15:23 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And, btw, deans are volunteer; free to Oxbridge |
| 15:23 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Just a note, Only the teachers get stipends. |
