Hi Ember :) |

Ember (emberell) |
Hello, Word. How are you? |
| 14:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Good, but multiple things going on. |
| 14:38 |
|
Ember (emberell) nods |
| 14:38 |
Ember (emberell) |
Tora's first class went very well |
| 14:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Good, I couldn't make it then, but I noticed that she had 7 students |
| 14:40 |
Ember (emberell) |
I sat in and gave her some feedback. She's feeling good about it, though. |
| 14:41 |
Ember (emberell) |
Welcome, Lovejoy! |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
btw, the education reserve map behind me is updated. CDS has moved in (the six sims to the left of the orange one) |
| 14:43 |
Ember (emberell) |
Welcome, Phrynne! ❤ |
| 14:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome, Phrynne |
| 14:44 |
lovejoy2199 |
btw: Chancellor, and before I forget to ask, is COU going to have an exhibit at SL19B? |
| 14:45 |
lovejoy2199 |
hummm...And, what about VWEC? Are they going to have one also? |
| 14:46 |
Ember (emberell) |

I haven't heard anything from Carl about SLB and I haven't had the time, so, I doubt it lovejoy. |

howdy howdy, lovejoy and ember!! |
| 14:47 |

Ok |

Ember (emberell) |
Carl has been quite busy lately |
| 14:47 |
Phrynne |
I believe there is going to be an exhibit from Caledon, but that's all I know about it |
| 14:47 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I believe both VWEC and CDS will have exhibits |
| 14:48 |
lovejoy2199 |
Ahhh. Caledon is going to have one. Nice. |
| 14:48 |
lovejoy2199 |
Maybe another airship? |
| 14:51 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
and Welcome Tora. I noticed you had seven in your class on Friday. |
| 14:51 |
Phrynne |
I think Jan Stroikavski may know something about it. |
| 14:52 |
Tora the Exploradora (toraona.thane) |
well, to be fair, Beth was there and Ember and Shae and Elf, so if you count friends who want to back you up, lol, yah, i had seven :-P |
| 14:52 |
Tora the Exploradora (toraona.thane) |
of course, it's still marked cancel on the calender, i think |
| 14:52 |
Ember (emberell) |
Shae is a good student. |
| 14:52 |
Ember (emberell) |
It's not actually! |
| 14:52 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome, Elf |
| 14:52 |
Ember (emberell) |
If you look at the calendar here, you'll see it's been updated to the right time slot on Friday |
| 14:52 |
Tora the Exploradora (toraona.thane) |
shae is! she's even coming back to reabsorb next week |
| 14:52 |
lovejoy2199 |
Sorry Tora. Just not a good time for me. |
| 14:53 |
Tora the Exploradora (toraona.thane) |

Tora the Exploradora (toraona.thane) |
yah, you said that, i think at the VWEC fireside? gotta say, that's exciting :-D |
| 14:55 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
OMG ... Rainy ... Welcome |
| 14:55 |
Tora the Exploradora (toraona.thane) |
can't wait to see it. you're going to leave the script the same? |
| 14:56 |

Hello Rainy |
| 14:56 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A few minor changes, because now all the buttons and the number display are faces on a single mesh prim |

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. |

| 15:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Have a few to catch up on Gronk |
| 15:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
What do you have for us from Commons today, Ember? |
| 15:02 |
Kara2016 |
we drew a crowd today.. |
| 15:02 |
Robyn Starbrook (robynxre) |
New Crayons ? |
| 15:02 |
Ember (emberell) |
I've been a bit busy with RL today, but I'm making steady progress on an update to the faculty kit materials. I intend ot have that posted this month, assuming things keep going as well as they are. |
| 15:02 |

Besides that, I did want to welcome Rodrigo back as a full Tutor again - he'd left for a time, but has returned to help out at Oxbridge. We are still looking for new tutors, or most anyone else interested in helping out at Oxbridge in some capacity. |
| 15:03 |
Kara2016 |
Smiles brightly. |
| 15:03 |
Ember (emberell) |
For those interested in that, always do feel free to reach out to me, or any of the other staff here for details. :-) |
| 15:03 |
Rodrigo (panther155) |
Thanks ^^ |
| 15:03 |
Ember (emberell) |
That's all from me this week. |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thanks, Ember |
| 15:04 |
|
Shaerken Changeheart (changeheartshaerken) cheerz! |

Lindal, anything for today? |
| 15:04 |
Lindal Kidd |
well |
| 15:05 |
Lindal Kidd |
as I expect most of you know, we've resurrected the Avatar Safety class |
| 15:05 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Great |
| 15:05 |
Rodrigo (panther155) |
yay |
| 15:05 |
Kara2016 |
Smiles brightly. |
| 15:05 |
Ember (emberell) |
Welcome, Jan! |
| 15:05 |
Lindal Kidd |
Because the areas of Land and Shopping have changed so much |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(hi Jan, welcome) |
| 15:05 |
Jan Stroikavskoi |
Hi Word :) |
| 15:06 |
Lindal Kidd |
I doubt that we will be re-introducing those classes |
| 15:06 |
Jan Stroikavskoi |
Thanks Ember! |
| 15:06 |
Lindal Kidd |
but I am working on a two part class on Avatar Appearance |
| 15:06 |
Lindal Kidd |
part one is nearly complete |
| 15:06 |
Kara2016 |
<..looks in mirror.. |
| 15:06 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That would be excellent to have |
| 15:06 |
Lindal Kidd |
I have been spending time on Welcome Island 2 |
| 15:07 |
Lindal Kidd |
handing out our Freebies notecard to all the newcomers |
| 15:07 |
Lindal Kidd |
It includes a LM to Oxbridge of course |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yay! |
| 15:07 |
Lindal Kidd |
so that's my little bit to try and drive traffic our way |
| 15:07 |

that's it from me! |

^-^ |

Shaerken Changeheart (changeheartshaerken) cheerz! |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I talked to Leslea, who owns Happy Hippo. She had mentioned that they had a portal from welcome island. She said it was via Peter Linden during Help Education Quorum's days. I'm going to see if Madori Linden can do the same for us. |
| 15:09 |
Lindal Kidd |
that would be splendid |
| 15:09 |
Ember (emberell) |
Oh that would be a great help. |
| 15:09 |
Rodrigo (panther155) |
Yes |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Financially, we couldn't be better, but our newbies are down to a trickle. |
| 15:10 |
Tora the Exploradora (toraona.thane) |
schmooze him, take him out to a hearty lunch of 1's and 0's... |
| 15:10 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Newcomers seem to come one at the time in these days. |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm also filling out a Destination Guide request. Took a couple snapshots at the entry point this morning |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'll make it clear that, while Oxbridge is located within Caledon, it is independently run. |
| 15:12 |
|
Ember (emberell) nods |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I haven't updated the visitor graph for today, but as it is it shows the decline in first-day and first-week visitors. We are riding on older avatars and returnees. |
| 15:14 |
Madeline Clarence |
Why are there not a lot of newcomers |
| 15:14 |
Madeline Clarence |
because they go to social island? |
| 15:14 |
Phrynne |
for one thing, it's summer. |
| 15:14 |
Phrynne |
people have offline things to do. |
| 15:14 |
|
Rodrigo (panther155) nods |
| 15:15 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Numbers of new people go up and down over time. |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And we need the things I just mentioned above. They have to be able to find us. |
| 15:15 |
Madeline Clarence |
that confuses me how you said that, Phrynne do you mean newcomers or ? |
| 15:15 |
Rodrigo (panther155) |
Yes Wordsmith :) |
| 15:16 |
Rodrigo (panther155) |
But how could we do that? |
| 15:16 |
Tora the Exploradora (toraona.thane) |
i'm wondering how aware people are of what we do here. I take a LOT of classes. Everybody talks about happy hippo or builders brewery or blender benders, but i don't hear anybody mention oxbridge |
| 15:16 |
Penelope (penelope90210) |
waves a hand. I was told to come here by someone who came here themselves. They gave me a landmark on my first day. I don't remember the name of the place. |
| 15:16 |
Madeline Clarence |
I was asking because I didn't know if this was said in our meeting because there is an interest in discussion about it |
| 15:16 |
Ember (emberell) |
That is mostly how we get people coming in - by referrals, or the odd newcomer by chance. |
| 15:17 |
Tora the Exploradora (toraona.thane) |
hmm |
| 15:17 |
Penelope (penelope90210) |
They commented on the excellent newcomer program you have here. |
| 15:17 |
Madeline Clarence |
like they do a Google search, hear by word of mouth, 1. to go to second life and 2 to go to Oxbridge? |
| 15:17 |
Madeline Clarence |
I have not been in second life in a long time |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Getting a portal from welcome Island would help a bunch as well as a better listing in the destination guide. |
| 15:18 |
Madeline Clarence |
and I have not really learned that much |
| 15:18 |
Tora the Exploradora (toraona.thane) |
ok, possible silly question i've been ini SL for 12 years, BUT... are there other newcomer islands? there are, right? |
| 15:18 |
Lindal Kidd |
As I understand it, first time logins go to Welcome Island or one of the established gateways like Firestorm or London. Oxbridge isn't a gateway |
| 15:18 |
Ember (emberell) |
there are a fair few newcomer places, LL run or user run. I have a list in the faculty kit, Tora |
| 15:18 |
Rodrigo (panther155) |
Totally agree, I hope with that portal we get more visitors |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm also hoping that, as the education reserve takes off, we start getting student referees from there. |
| 15:18 |
Tora the Exploradora (toraona.thane) |
what if we volunteered to spend an hour or so there, like lindal did, brilliant idea, btw, and kind of walk the sandwich board back and forth |
| 15:19 |
Tora the Exploradora (toraona.thane) |
okies, i'll check them out. thanks hon |
| 15:19 |
Madeline Clarence |
well, maybe it should also be known, the difference of newcomer friendly and for those who may have learning or mental disabilities in which they need continuous attention and help |
| 15:19 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
and lots of newcomers have come here with London group tag |
| 15:19 |
Lindal Kidd |
The group that covers Welcome Island is White Tiger Mentors. Treacle Darlances is the head. |
| 15:19 |
|
Ember (emberell) nods |
| 15:20 |
Lindal Kidd |
Darlandes* |
| 15:20 |
Shaerken Changeheart (changeheartshaerken) |
Lawst Paradise (Treacle's region) is currently under renovations. |
| 15:20 |
Tora the Exploradora (toraona.thane) |
i'd be willing to volunteer a couple hours a week, if that would help? at the welcome island, i mean |
| 15:20 |
Shaerken Changeheart (changeheartshaerken) |
That was announced 3 days ago in their group notices. |
| 15:20 |
Shaerken Changeheart (changeheartshaerken) |
They are "closed temporarily" |
| 15:20 |
Shaerken Changeheart (changeheartshaerken) |
Are their tutorial/welcome team still working? |
| 15:21 |
Ember (emberell) |
It can be quite helpful, Tora, just do be sure not to over extend yourself ❤ |
| 15:21 |
Madeline Clarence |
is there an agenda I am getting confused about what we are talking about, why, what Oxbridge needs |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
btw, I updated the education reserve map on the wall behind me. CDS just moved there six sims in a few days ago (the six sims to the left of the orange one). |
| 15:21 |
Tora the Exploradora (toraona.thane) |
lol, promise. i wouldn't do that anyway without an official sanction. i don't really have the standing to represent all of Oxbridge by myself :-P |
| 15:22 |
Rodrigo (panther155) |
hehehehe |
| 15:22 |
Lindal Kidd |
tjat |
| 15:22 |
Ember (emberell) |
There's no official agenda, Madeline, we're just discussing what we might do to better direct people -to- oxbridge. |
| 15:22 |
Lindal Kidd |
that's a lot of educational sims! |
| 15:22 |
Ember (emberell) |
Staff usually help out on campus on a volunteer basis |
| 15:23 |
|
Rodrigo (panther155) nods |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
With that, I'm done. so open to questions, and general announcements. And Jan is here to ask about a Caledon exibit at SLB. |

(whispers to Word, not me ;) |
| 15:24 |
Madeline Clarence |
Ember there are a lot of issues |
| 15:24 |
- ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (teddysnugglebear.littlepaws) |
I will be taking Photo Salon on a Field Trip to SL19B on June 29th |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Nice. As far as I know, CDS and VWEC both will have exhibits there |
| 15:25 |
Madeline Clarence |
you may need to research not only steampunk, history, building, architecture, but know how to specifically find and "target" those who are going to be safe, productive community netizens |
| 15:25 |
- ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (teddysnugglebear.littlepaws) |
The students will gather in front of the Oxbridge Exhibit for our class photo. |
| 15:25 |
lovejoy2199 |
*SMILE* |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And it was mentioned that Caledon as a whole may have one. |
| 15:26 |
Madeline Clarence |
the sim is well planned visually but there are social interpersonal actions that will help |
| 15:26 |
Madeline Clarence |
1. sl goals have to support or not interfere with rl goals |
| 15:26 |
- ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (teddysnugglebear.littlepaws) |
I am asking for all available staff & members of the University can attend and assist be involved with the class photo\ |
| 15:26 |
Madeline Clarence |
and rl goals - can be very varied but can also be very well known |
| 15:27 |
Ember (emberell) |
I'm unsure if we are going to have an exhibit up this year at SLB, but if I can help set that up, I'd be happy to be there. |
| 15:27 |
Lindal Kidd |
what time on the 29th, Teddy? |
| 15:27 |
- ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (teddysnugglebear.littlepaws) |
I will be providing a shout out in the group chats prior to the event |
| 15:28 |
- ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (teddysnugglebear.littlepaws) |
Yes June 29th |
| 15:28 |
Madeline Clarence |
will the exhibit be something to get new members or be to conform to organization standards and expectations? |
| 15:28 |
Madeline Clarence |
see this is why I get confused |
| 15:28 |
- ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (teddysnugglebear.littlepaws) |
@ 7:30 pm SLT after the lecture |
| 15:28 |
Madeline Clarence |
I personally want to see 1 subject discussed at a time |
| 15:28 |
Ember (emberell) |
It would help if you weren't talking over Tedy, Madeline. |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
As far as I know, Oxbridge will not have an exhibit. I believe tha application time has passed. |
| 15:28 |
- ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (teddysnugglebear.littlepaws) |
is that true? |
| 15:29 |
- ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (teddysnugglebear.littlepaws) |
I did not know that |
| 15:29 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Aww |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Carl has been doing the exhibits and apparently wasn't able to this time. |
| 15:29 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Hope he's OK |

Does anybody have experience using a VPN while in SL? Does a VPN affect SL any? |
| 15:32 |
Lindal Kidd |
I use Nord VPN |
| 15:32 |
Ember (emberell) |
I haven't used one personally, but I believe it does work fairly reliably with SL. It may depend on the VPN |
| 15:32 |
Lindal Kidd |
it does have a small impact on performance, but not serious |
| 15:32 |
Chris (chrismillernhs) |
I found that using a VPN slowed it down considerably. At least for me |
| 15:33 |
Gronk Seriman |
So the answer is pretty much what I thought. "It depends!" |
| 15:33 |
Jorge Serapis |
I haven't had an issue, Gronk. |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It's simply another server bounce that hides your actual location |
| 15:34 |
Jorge Serapis |
But I also have a gaming laptop, so I guess the machinery accounts for the performance. |
| 15:34 |
Rodrigo (panther155) |
yes Jorge:) |
| 15:36 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
VPN performance may be influenced based on local ISP |

The only SL repercussion I've heard of was several women in different locations that were using the same VPN setup. They got banned from a location because they all appeared to have the same IP address and someone decided that they were being spoofed by one person. |

yah, the fastest network will have to slow down to whatever slowest thing is between you and the main office |
| 15:37 |

so to speak. point of origin is a better phrase |

I just tested. Connecting to my VPN in the middle of a session caused the viewer to crash. But now that I am back, I am getting 50% better performance, with the vpn |
| 15:37 |
Tora the Exploradora (toraona.thane) |
wow! nice! |
| 15:37 |
Gronk Seriman |
WITH the VPN?! Wow! |
| 15:37 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Interesting |
| 15:38 |
Lindal Kidd |
Your Mileage May Vary |

That sounds more like a routing problem than a VPN solution. |
| 15:38 |
|
Lindal Kidd nods |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Must be routing its traffic through less congestion |
| 15:39 |
Jorge Serapis |
With vpn connection, I'm at a 34.3 frame rate. |
| 15:39 |
Lindal Kidd |
about the same here, Jorge |

Q? on a past mention today -- the Education Reserve map -- you said x's denote restricted access -- how does that get determined by your algorithm (or whatever is used), or does it come from the region "owner" directly, or direct recognizance on your part Wordsmith? Thank you. |
| 15:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I visit (or try to) every sim in the reserve. If it tells me that I don't have permission to enter, I flag it as a closed sim. |
| 15:42 |
Shaerken Changeheart (changeheartshaerken) |
TY. I think one may be mismarked -- however, I'll need a day or 3 to test it out with an alt. If I find so, may I IM or notecard you? |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I collect sim information and enter it into a JSON file from which the plot is made. |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You can always IM or notecard me |
| 15:43 |
Shaerken Changeheart (changeheartshaerken) |
Paw-some. TY very much that ends my ?. |
| 15:44 |
Gronk Seriman |
Apparently, some educators feel it's safer to limit access to their sim. Keep out the riff-raff. |
| 15:44 |
Jan Stroikavskoi |
Hi Sig :) |

Shaerken Changeheart (changeheartshaerken) nods at Gronk. |

It can help when you don't have staff around to monitor potential troublemakers |
| 15:45 |
|
Shaerken Changeheart (changeheartshaerken) nods at Ember |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And it is likely that some K-12 entities will be placed in the reserve and use a reg-API to limit their students to their areas |
| 15:46 |
|
Shaerken Changeheart (changeheartshaerken) nods. "A very wise choice from my perspective." |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And some sims were already in the reserve. |
| 15:48 |
|
Shaerken Changeheart (changeheartshaerken) nods |
| 15:49 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There's a number of Univ of Texas campuses to the upper right of the map |

Mayo clinic, NASA Education, National Space Society, Jewish Historical Museum of Monmouth County, to name a few |
| 15:50 |
Shaerken Changeheart (changeheartshaerken) |
me cheers and whamps paws. |
| 15:50 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And the hope is to attract some universities back into SL. |
| 15:51 |
Frigid Cryotank |
Did LL reinstate the academic discount? |
| 15:51 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Oh, and Space Station Alpha and Beta are there |
| 15:52 |
|
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) has not heard of any of the former places linked to late EduFinland |
| 15:52 |
Lindal Kidd |
yes, they put the academic discount back several years ago |
| 15:52 |
Frigid Cryotank |
Thank you. Didn't know. |
| 15:53 |
lovejoy2199 |
Priming the pump. The more "Ed.' that come, the more students. |
| 15:53 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
For those moved into the reserve, the move is free. If it isn't a good match, a move out is free (i.e. one free round trip). |
| 15:54 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And any existing discounts don't change with the move |
| 15:54 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(but all the moves go through Madori Linden, not the normal support process) |
| 15:55 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, Lovejoy. Institutions mean students, and students new to SL. And Oxbridge already has a portal from the landing area of the VWEC resource sim. |
| 15:57 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any last quick questions or topics? |
| 15:58 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And Shae, feel free to add anything I've missed on the reserve, etc |
| 15:58 |
Shaerken Changeheart (changeheartshaerken) |
Ty you, I'll be in touch, I may be mistaken. |
| 15:59 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
