Caledon Oxbridge Deans' Q&A for 2023-04-23
| 14:46 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome, Lovejoy |
| 14:47 | lovejoy2199 | Greetings Chancellor |
| 14:49 | lovejoy2199 | hummm. Just thought of something. Since the place is based off a GB university, maybe you and the Deans should wear 'robes'. |
| 14:51 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | It would be appropriate yes |
| 14:52 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I remember Feynman writing that one could toss on a robe and not worry about what was underneath it. |
| 14:53 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome, Frigid |
| 14:53 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome, Edmund |
| 14:53 | Frigid Cryotank | Hello Wordsmith. |

| 15:00 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | 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. |
| 15:00 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | at http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/qna/qna_index.php |
| 15:00 | Ember (emberell) | Welcome, PHrynne |
| 15:00 | Gronk Seriman | ...and not a moment before. |
| 15:00 | Phrynne waves | |
| 15:01 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And starting to catch up on transcripts.... got 4 or 5 weeks of the general Q&As up this week. Deans' Q&As are next. |
| 15:02 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Ember, what do you have for us from Commons this week? |
| 15:03 | Ember (emberell) | Not much from me this week. I've been busy with RL. I am keeping the CAT and train station as they are for now, though I've removed the old train map. I'll see about updating them when they return. |
| 15:04 | Ember (emberell) | And as always, Oxbridge is looking for those willing to help out - whether on campus as a tutor, or otherwise. If your'e interested in getting involved, please feel free to reach out to me, Word, or any of the other staff here and we'll figure out how you can help out. |
| 15:04 | Ember (emberell) | That's it from me this week. |
| 15:04 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Des posted that Shetty has brought the trains back, which is just short of amazing |
| 15:04 | Ember (emberell) | Oh, that's fantastic news! |
| 15:04 | Gronk Seriman | Nice! |
| 15:04 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Splendid |
| 15:05 | Ember (emberell) | I saw him on campus lately. I'll be sure to send him my thanks. The trains are a delight. |
| 15:05 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Part of the character of Caledon |
| 15:05 | Ember (emberell) nods | |
| 15:06 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hopefully, the CATs (Caledon Air Transport airships) come back soon |
| 15:07 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea, what announcements do you have? |
| 15:07 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | We will be having a spring themed dance next week. More details to come |
| 15:09 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | the avatar next to me is a official alt of mine. Caledonian Nights. if you see her around. She reports to me. The back up emergency laptop can only run a low resource account on the old thing. |
| 15:09 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Great, be sure and get a link to Mint by Friday, I'll be on a plane to a conference on Saturday and gone until the evening of the following Saturday. |

| 15:14 | CaledonianNights | hi |
| 15:14 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | :- |
| 15:14 | highlyadjective | ❤ |
| 15:14 | highlyadjective | I hope you get well and soon Andrea |
| 15:14 | Katie (katie.canningham) | me too |
| 15:14 | Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) | Tonight's movie in Caledon Downs is Total Recall (the original, with Arnold) |
| 15:14 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Our thoughts and good hopes are with you. |
| 15:14 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Nods. that was a good movie |
| 15:14 | Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) | Bayou Bunny gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 15:15 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Thank you Bayou Bunny |
| 15:15 | Ember (emberell) | Thank you so much for the donation, Bayou! |
| 15:15 | Bayou Bunny | very welcome |
| 15:15 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | For the time it was made. total Recall was visually stunning |
| 15:15 | highlyadjective | I think I will come, I have had a stressful week |
| 15:15 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | back to you word |
| 15:15 | Frigid Cryotank | May I ask the time of the movie? |
| 15:16 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | It's been a difficult couple of weeks for Caledon. We lost 5 sims, so Caledon is down to 17 sims now. |
| 15:16 | Ember (emberell) nods | |
| 15:16 | Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) | 6 SLT, basement of the Goblin Cave |
| 15:16 | Ember (emberell) | Many of us are feeling the loss |
| 15:16 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | oh that reminds me. waits for word |
| 15:16 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I have an updated Caledon map in the Hall of Caledon at Oxbridge: Caledon Oxbridge (148,181,30) |
| 15:17 | Katie (katie.canningham) | Goblin Cave Theatre: Caledon Downs (142,101,22) |
| 15:17 | Gronk Seriman | Great! |
| 15:18 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | So, if anyone was wondering about the talk of CATs and trains, along with the Caledon Quest, that's why. A lot was broken that has to be fixed. |
| 15:18 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | No further losses or moving of sims is currently planned by Des. |
| 15:18 | Gronk Seriman | Good. |
| 15:19 | KimberlyDworkas | Oh, is that the reason for those 'ghost sims' on the map? |
| 15:19 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I've updated the visitor statistics on our website: https://www.caledonoxbridge.org/statistics/index.php |
| 15:19 | Gronk Seriman | What are the chances of Des ever adding sims back on? Slim to none? |
| 15:20 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | That would require more tenants |
| 15:20 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Yes, Kimberly. Where there were sims, but no sim now, there are ghost images (but they don't have sim names under them) |
| 15:20 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | none |
| 15:21 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And, having LL add 250 sims, including some Victorian ones in Bellisseria didn't help |
| 15:22 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Word? |
| 15:22 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea? |
| 15:22 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Just a note. I do not have the LM handy. But I have installed a temp sail boat rezzer and canoe rezzer at the docks in the village |
| 15:23 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | i have one corner to redo. |
| 15:23 | Ember (emberell) | Near the dockhouse, Andrea? |
| 15:23 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | but you can sail around the village and the cou to south end |
| 15:23 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | It is near the house of steam |
| 15:23 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Bellesaria: https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/458445-bellisseria/ |
| 15:23 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | the old public ones |
| 15:23 | Phrynne | It's possible to follow narrow channels to sail north, also |
| 15:23 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | yes you can |
| 15:24 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | the canoe works better for that. |
| 15:24 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | and you can sit 2 people |
| 15:24 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | . I'll make a notice soon |
| 15:24 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | that is all |
| 15:24 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | back to you word |
| 15:25 | highlyadjective | ❤ |
| 15:25 | highlyadjective | Thank you Andrea |
| 15:25 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | So, the size of Caledon depends on demand |
| 15:25 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | renters |
| 15:25 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Oxbridge financially is in excellent shape (thanks to Andrea and helpers). |
| 15:26 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | and all of you who support |
| 15:26 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | we don't see you at events, but we appreciate the support |
| 15:27 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | oops. CN , why don;t you go to the village |
| 15:27 | CaledonianNights | ok |
| 15:27 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | We have a substantial surplus, although that reduced by 1009 $L over the last two weeks and by 1800 $L over the two week prior. Welcome to RFL season. |
| 15:27 | highlyadjective | Is um, is she seeing anyone currently? Just curious I mean |
| 15:27 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | one reason we push all year |
| 15:27 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Not really highly |
| 15:27 | highlyadjective wagges his eyebrows Groucholy | |
| 15:28 | Ember (emberell) | Oxbridge is not a dating site. :-) |
| 15:28 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | :-P :-) |
| 15:28 | Katie (katie.canningham) passes out. | |
| 15:29 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I haven't updated any of the graphs behind me for this time |
| 15:29 | Phrynne moves smelling salts under Katie's nose | |
| 15:29 | Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) | If you want dates, go to Mondrago. They have palm trees. |
| 15:29 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | That's it from me, open to general announcements, questions, comments |
| 15:29 | Katie (katie.canningham) | Thankee Ti Phrynne! |
| 15:29 | Phrynne | np |
| 15:30 | highlyadjective | I remember dating from the olden days |
| 15:30 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Date palms or coconut palms, Liska? |
| 15:30 | Katie (katie.canningham) | that's just nuts |
| 15:31 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | BTW, ti means you in Spanish, so that's like saying You, Phrynne |
| 15:31 | Ember (emberell) | I think you mean tu |
| 15:31 | Phrynne | It's an abbreviated honorific for Tinies |
| 15:31 | Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) | Probably date palms, it's middle0east themed |
| 15:31 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | No, also Ti. Google it. |
| 15:31 | Phrynne | that is not the form used for that situation. |
| 15:31 | Ember (emberell) | Mhm. As Phrynne said. |
| 15:31 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | do we also use Fu (furry), Hu (human), Ro (robot)? |
| 15:32 | Katie (katie.canningham) | O.O |
| 15:32 | Phrynne | Take it up with Stereo Nacht, not me. |
| 15:32 | Ember (emberell) | Ti is an accepted gender neutral address like Mr.mrs, |
| 15:32 | Ember (emberell) | So on. |
| 15:32 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Any other topics? |
| 15:32 | Phrynne | And it is Raglanese, not Spanish. |
| 15:32 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) is glad it is so much easier with Finnish | |
| 15:33 | Ember (emberell) | We have translators, too, for non English questions :-) |
| 15:34 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hearing nothing, we are adjourned. Thank you all for coming and participating. |
| 15:34 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hope you can get some sleep Ro Elfbiter. |
| 15:34 | Katie (katie.canningham) | Thankee Andrea and Wordsmith and Ember! |
| 15:34 | Gronk Seriman | Thank you, Deans! |
| 15:34 | highlyadjective | I am curious about 'weekly visitors' since the beginning :) |
| 15:34 | Katie (katie.canningham) | nini Elf! |
| 15:34 | TheresaVellaNitely | Thanks for the presentation. |
| 15:34 | highlyadjective | I will wish you all goodnight - 6 is my 9, but I may be able to catch the start of the movie |
| 15:35 | Ember (emberell) | Thanks all for coming! |
| 15:35 | Katie (katie.canningham) | Good night everyone! |
| 15:35 | Ember (emberell) | Oxbridge is here for the students after all |
| 15:35 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | There's statistics on the wall behind me Highly |
| 15:35 | Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) | Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
