Of course not. |

Welcome to this week's Caledon Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting; |
| 15:00 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
all are welcome apart from those who intend to misbehave in a disruptive manner. |
| 15:00 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Non-disruptive misbehavior is at your discretion. |
| 15:00 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Transcripts will be posted after the meeting. |

Just haven't managed to gain the future yet, Gronk ;) |

It will be with us soon :-) |

Ember, what have you this week From Commons? |

Ember (emberell) |
I've been working slowly through a backlog of notecards for the Faculty kit, and preparing to bring summer to Oxbridge. More flowers and the like. I hope to have an updated version of the faculty kit out soon, depending on my ability to work through it all, but I've been pushing minor updates to the collection in the staff lounge |
| 15:04 |
Ember (emberell) |
As usual, Oxbridge is always looking for new tutors, or others who may want to help Oxbridge out in some way or another. Anyone interested can always reach out to me, another Tutor, Word... Basically anyone here, and we can get you resources and start getting you connected :-) |
| 15:04 |
Ember (emberell) |
That's all from me this week. |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you, Ember |
| 15:05 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
More professors? :-) |
| 15:05 |
Ember (emberell) |
Well, that's Word's purview :-) |
| 15:06 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
oh hello all |
| 15:06 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And I'm open to class or seminar proposals |
| 15:06 |
Ember (emberell) |
Katie, Andrea, welcome |
| 15:07 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
Hi! Thankee Ember! |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea, Have anything to announce this week? |
| 15:08 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Our Next Bi weekly should be next weekend. But given that the weekend then will be memorial Day Weekend. We will be holdng off |
| 15:08 |
|
lovejoy2199 *smiles* @ Katie |
| 15:08 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |

| 15:08 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I'll be sending notices once we set a date for the next one |
| 15:08 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
other wise party on dudes. |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
and be excellent |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That works. When I did the financial balances two-weeks ago, we are well into the black. |
| 15:09 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |

| 15:09 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
lol, i was gonna say that, Katie. yay you!! |
| 15:09 |
|
Katie (katie.canningham) hugs Tora |
| 15:10 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
back to you Word |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And the break hopefully gives you a chance to unwind a bit. |
| 15:11 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
oh |
| 15:11 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
hehe |
| 15:11 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The bi weekly that we will do is going to be a rock and roll battle |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
there will be a build made so that people who want to throw stuff at each other can., while those who want to just dance can have a safe place |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
no weapons that can punch through a prim invisible wall |
| 15:12 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
lol, UBER YAY!!! i was just gonna ask if we could have another pajama party, but without the pain and annoyance :-P |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
that is all |
| 15:12 |
|
Katie (katie.canningham) looks entirely innocent |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
now back to you Word |
| 15:13 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
HAHA!!! |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Not a lot from me this week, I generally do updates for the second Sunday of the month |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
But the education reserve map has some updates to it. |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The Phelan Cornmal owned sims have moved into the reserve. That includes Rockcliff sims, Inspiration Island and Annex, Cag University and OmniParqadigm. |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Madori Linden has several more sims in a holding area in the NE corner of the reserve |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The Confederation of Democratic Simulators (CDS) passed a referendum certified yesterday that they will move into the reserve with their six sims |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And there was a large Grand Opening party yesterday on the VWEC welcome sim |
| 15:17 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Yay |
| 15:18 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
Cool! |
| 15:18 |
Gronk Seriman |
I would imagine moving a sim is simply having a Linden type new coordinates into a box somewhere. Is there more to it than that? |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Also, Ari is playing piano concerts in the Commons building Wednesdays at noon and there are open "campfire" meetings Wednesdays at 3:30pm and Thursdays at 9:30 am |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We already have a portal from the landing area there, so should start getting referrals |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And with that, open for general, comments, announcements, questions, comas, ... |
| 15:21 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
I apologize, but I have to duck out early. Thank you, Word, Ember and Andrea :-) |
| 15:21 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |

Shaerken Changeheart (changeheartshaerken) |

Ember (emberell) |
Take care, Tora |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Journey well, Tora |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And Tora has material for the inventory class and is currently going through it. |
| 15:22 |

|
Ember (emberell) raises her paw |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, it was rather like that. I heard this morning that there were some who couldn't get onto the sim, so they are thinking of a follow-up opening light. |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Ember? |
| 15:27 |
Ember (emberell) |
I've been gathering a little notecard of recurring Caledonian events from folk, that I announce in the General Q&A, and I just watned to invite anyone who does host events or anything to reach out to me if they want to be on that card. I've been slowly reaching out and adding to the card, in an effort to offer a better resource for people wanting to get involved with community events |
| 15:27 |
Ember (emberell) |
So, just a small announcement/invitation on that. |
| 15:27 |
Ember (emberell) |
That's all ❤ |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Great, ty. |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other topics, questions, ... |
| 15:28 |
|
Katie (katie.canningham) tentatively raises a paw |
| 15:29 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
we don;t bite....much |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Katie? |
| 15:29 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I don't swallow alive, either :-) |
| 15:29 |
|
Katie (katie.canningham) giggles nervously |
| 15:29 |
|
Agatha Macbeth thinks this is TMI |
| 15:29 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
Forgive me, you must've covered this a billion times, but I don't remember - what exactly does a Tutor do? |
| 15:30 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
A COU tutor, I mean? |
| 15:30 |
Ember (emberell) |
It's alright, I do welcome people asking. A COU tutor helps out on campus, answering questions or offering students resources. |
| 15:30 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
And telling nude avatars to put something on, sometimes |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The live people in the plaza |
| 15:30 |
Ember (emberell) |
Basically, they're an Oxbridge recognized official helper, and they get access to the faculty information kit which I upkeep. But yes, sometimes that is helping people understand the rules and better follow them. |
| 15:30 |
lovejoy2199 |
lol @ Elf. |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Or detach something, sometimes |
| 15:31 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
Is there a schedule, or is it spontaneous? |
| 15:31 |
Ember (emberell) |
It's all on a volunteer basis |
| 15:31 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
waves at Jan |
| 15:31 |
Ember (emberell) |
WE encourage people to be there when they can, but there's no strict guidelines, hours, or pay. |
| 15:32 |
Ember (emberell) |
(on time spent there I mean. We do generally ask tutors to hold themselves to a higher standard to set an example for students and visitors alike) |
| 15:32 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
how does one volunteer? |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Somewhat like docents or park rangers |
| 15:32 |
Ember (emberell) |
They can reach out to me, and I can get them information and talk to them about the matter. |
| 15:32 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
ok! |
| 15:33 |
Ember (emberell) |
I usually ask volunteers to fill out a notecard detailing a few questions on SL and otherwise, if you'd like a copy I can send you one! |
| 15:33 |
|
Katie (katie.canningham) abruptly realizes "Black Moon Marauders" is still active |
| 15:33 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
yes please! |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Oh, yes, they are, Katie |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other matters? |
| 15:34 |
Gronk Seriman |
I used to hang around the plaza too much and was too helpful. Got slapped with a Tutor tag. |
| 15:34 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
thankee! |
| 15:34 |
|
Gronk Seriman smiles |
| 15:34 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
:) |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yep Gronk Tag happens. (grins) |
| 15:35 |
Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 15:35 |
Ember (emberell) |
I've sent you both the application, and application information. I hope those help ❤ |
| 15:35 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I was invited when I had been a regular for couple of years. Then I suddenly got ejection rights.. |
| 15:36 |
Ember (emberell) |
Thank you so much for your donation, Andrea! |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And I believe parcel ban rights, since ejection just moves avatars to the NW corner of the sim where Andrea and I have placed sharks. |
| 15:37 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Not at first |
| 15:38 |
Gronk Seriman |
Sharks with freakin' lasers! |
| 15:38 |
Ember (emberell) |
We usually wait a while to see how tutors handle themselves before granting such abilities. |
| 15:38 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
maybe should put in a jail cell there |
| 15:38 |
Ember (emberell) |
But we do also try to encourage students to learn from mistakes that get them ejected. We don't want to punish people, only keep campus safe and working well. |
| 15:39 |
lovejoy2199 |
Do we need a 'corn field'? |
| 15:39 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
and sharks are cool |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I just want to create sharks that with text, stuff like "naked avatars with attachments are food not friends". |
| 15:39 |
Ember (emberell) |
They're laser sharks :-) |
| 15:39 |
|
Chris (chrismillernhs) snickers |
| 15:39 |
Ember (emberell) |
And, well, clothing mishaps are a common thing. Sometimes one doesn't realize their dress was left in the teleport |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Although avatars are asked to add clothes and detach before being sent to the sharks |
| 15:40 |
Gronk Seriman |
It's a not so subtle way to let somebody know they screwed up without outright banning them. It gives them a chance. |
| 15:40 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Corn Field could have several Princes if we had one... |
| 15:41 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
nakee with attachments? I really do need the "oh my gah!" gesture |
| 15:41 |
Ember (emberell) |
And well, it is a good way to catch attention, if one is not in local/ims |
| 15:41 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
How about "clicking scissors" gesture instead? |
| 15:41 |
Ember (emberell) |
But we do try to give them many chances to change before taking action |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Well, Elfbiter, we could add a couple large crabs to the mix in the corner |
| 15:42 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
oh my gah! |
| 15:42 |
Phrynne |
I believe I've seen some giant clams around, the kind that close up. |
| 15:43 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
O.O |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There was a sci-fi story about a guy who had to walk back to a domed city when his transport failed. He got to where he could see the lights of the dome, a bit beyond a large pair of crab claws. |
| 15:44 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
Did he live? |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Clam shells might work too. |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That was the end of the story. |
| 15:44 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
ah. |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Almost making it, but a likely fatal creature in the way |
