| 15:28 | Ember (emberell) | Spike, did you have a question about the Science Circle? |
| 15:29 | Spike Rose (spike.bloodrose) | Yeah actually, i guess that got passed over. I was wondering what that group was. there was talk of them touring through so I got curious! |
| 15:29 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hold on, just a sec, Spike |
| 15:30 | Spike Rose (spike.bloodrose) | No problem. |
| 15:30 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | https://www.sciencecircle.org/ |

| 15:33 | Spike Rose (spike.bloodrose) | Sounds like good topics to me. |
| 15:34 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | They also have 7am Sunday morning classical music concerts |
| 15:35 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | (which is where I scheduled the tours with Chantal this morning) |
| 15:35 | highlyadjective | Oh nice |
| 15:35 | Ember (emberell) nods | |
| 15:35 | Ember (emberell) | It's very lovely. |

| 15:36 | Spike Rose (spike.bloodrose) | Oh uh, one other question; Andrea said something about a 'songbird'? Is that an event of some sort? |

| 15:37 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Tuesday is live night |
| 15:37 | Spike Rose (spike.bloodrose) | Oh, neat! Thank you! |
| 15:37 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Gronk? |
| 15:38 | Gronk Seriman | I hate to admit I don't have the patience I used to, to sit and wait for students to come through the Entry Hall. |
| 15:38 | Gronk Seriman | Is there any way we can be notified when somebody arrives so we can be ready in the Plaza as they come by? |
| 15:39 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | If you are inworld, I have a way you can check remotely |
| 15:39 | Gronk Seriman | Ooo, good! |
| 15:39 | Ember (emberell) | The who's on sim HUD, correct? |
| 15:40 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | It's a HUD that displays "Who's on Sim" |
| 15:40 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Yep, Ember. |
| 15:40 | Ember (emberell) | Welcome, Phrynne |
| 15:41 | Gronk Seriman | What's on Second, I don't know is on Third? *grins* |
| 15:41 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Apologies I have a pre-existing show to get to. And it takes a min to get to the stage |
| 15:42 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I'll get you a copy Gronk. It's a click on / click off small HUD, so just add it after I give it to you |
| 15:42 | Gronk Seriman | OK, thank you very much! |
| 15:42 | highlyadjective | You look prepared Andrea :) |
| 15:42 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | notices to come out the next few days |
| 15:42 | Ember (emberell) | I believe it may be in the faculty kit, also |
| 15:42 | Gronk Seriman | I looked in the kit. Must have missed it somehow. |
| 15:42 | Ember (emberell) | hm, it may not be |
| 15:43 | Ember (emberell) | Would it be alright if I did include that in the kit, Word? |
| 15:43 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Nope. The language HUD is there, but not this one (it uses an external resource) |
| 15:43 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | No, I give it out no transfer |
| 15:43 | Ember (emberell) nods | |
| 15:44 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Uses a Google app-engine program to enable communication |
| 15:45 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Necessary because SL URLs are transient (ephemeral) |
| 15:46 | Gronk Seriman | I was thinking more simple. Use the sensors already there to generate a notification in the COU Group chat. Although I have no idea how "simple" that would be. |
| 15:47 | Gronk Seriman | Or a desperate Tutor Group chat. |
| 15:48 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I don't think your want an email every time an avatar arrives on the sim, Gronk |
| 15:48 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | But now, you can turn that on, and easily see if anyone is there |
| 15:48 | Gronk Seriman | I do not forward chats to email. I forgot some people do. |
| 15:49 | Gronk Seriman | Thank you so much! |
| 15:49 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Any other topics? |
| 15:51 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hearing nothing further, |
| 15:51 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | We are |
| 15:51 | highlyadjective | Is there much new traffic from Linden letting Caledon advertise or have notices, or whatever that was? |
| 15:52 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Not a lot yet, but more than there was. The graph for visitors is on the wall behind me. |
| 15:52 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And, adjourned |
