14:48 lovejoy2199 Hello Chancellor
14:48 Larky (larkylouz) Thank you Word. Hi LJ
14:49 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea, I haven't heard a word from Missy Mole yet. I'll try to contact her tomorrow
14:49 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) probably best
14:49 Wordsmith Jarvinen I'll have a building done later tonight can be able to work on contents
14:50 lovejoy2199 Has SL20B Started?
14:50 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) about a week
14:51 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) about another week
14:51 lovejoy2199 I thought so. Was wondering from the comments I am reading.
14:52 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) nods
14:52 Wordsmith Jarvinen And, Lovejoy, Andrea ended up with two parcels. So, if this all works, she has offered me one of them, so Oxbridge may end up with an SL20B exhibit.
14:52 lovejoy2199 HEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
14:53 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) i sent missy a im
14:53 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) she is on

14:53 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) should be with me shortly
14:54 lovejoy2199 Don't forget the 'Pod Rides' Make sure you have some comments.
14:54 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've almost got a building done, it's vaguely rectangular but built of S curves in mesh. But I'm putting a vaguely cat head at one end and a tail at the other. I'll put an Oxbridge flag on the top of the upturned tail.
14:55 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) would anyone like a cat reading shoulder pet?
14:55 Wordsmith Jarvinen I don't have much info yet other than the parcel is 64x64 and the LI limit is about 2100
14:55 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) you can build from the ground level to 75 m
14:55 Larky (larkylouz) Too cute, Andrea. Yes, please
14:55 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) final day is 14th
14:56 lovejoy2199 LOL Could could always use a large version of Ember.
14:56 Larky (larkylouz) :^)
14:56 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) And more fiery :-)
14:56 Wordsmith Jarvinen Oh, good, since with the flag maybe 20m
14:57 Ember (emberell) :-)

14:59 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) still pushed too hard
14:59 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Good will has been good to me. I found a kitchen hutch top
15:00 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) and managed to mate it to a bottom
15:00 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) so been moving stuff from the storage room to the kitchen
15:00 Wordsmith Jarvinen And the bell has sounded
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 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) will get back to that a bit later. hoping to unpack my dvds and some books
15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen Ember, what might you have from Commons for us this week?
15:02 Ember (emberell) This week has been a bit of a busy one for me in RL - but I've been continuing to check up on old notecards in the ffaculty kit, focusing first on the ones we most frequently hand out.
15:02 Ember (emberell) Besides that, I've been talking with prospective tutors - though I neither of those I talked to were interested sadly in the end.
15:03 Ember (emberell) WE are, as always, looking for more people interested in helping out - whether as tutors, or in any other capacity. Those interested can always reach out to me, Word, or any of the other staff here, and we'll figure out how to get you involved
15:03 Ember (emberell) That's all from me this week.
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen ty Ember. Any landscaping changes?
15:04 Ember (emberell) Not many this week. Jorge has found a lot of lovely little things I'd like to sit down and add though.
15:04 Larky (larkylouz) I figured out a streamlined way to do the social media stuff, so I'm hoping to look at Spanish and Portuguese notecard later this month.
15:04 Ember (emberell) I'm very thankful for what he's been able to find and provide, it's been a treasure trove of things to brighten up the campus :-)
15:04 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hi Gronk
15:04 Ember (emberell) that would be quite nice, Larky
15:04 Ember (emberell) And welcome, Gronk
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen Nice, Larky
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea?
15:05 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) We will have the fundraiser the 25th since next week is fathers day.
15:05 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) otherwise. nothing new
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) may do a raffle soon
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Okay. Thank you.
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) to help raise some funds. will get back to you later on that
15:06 Ember (emberell) If I can help setting anything up for that, Andrea, do let me knwo
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) nods
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) np
15:07 Ember (emberell) Welcome, Jorge ❤
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hi Jorge
15:07 Wordsmith Jarvinen Little new from me other than Andrea ended up with two SL20B parcels, offered me one, and i've been in Blender a lot creating an exhibit building. I have until the 14th to get everything together.
15:09 Wordsmith Jarvinen We remain in excellent financial shape. Our surplus went down by 6k since 15 May, but that's to be expected with RFL coming to a head and well within our tolerance.
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hi Sally
15:09 Ember (emberell) Welcome, Sally
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen With that, open for general, questions, comments, and the like
15:10 SashaKylebaka ru>en hello everyone, sorry for being late
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen No problem Sally
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen Any questions or comments?
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen Jorge?
15:11 Ember (emberell) raises a paw
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen Ember?
15:12 Jorge Serapis Nope, no questions.. :_)
15:12 Jorge Serapis .. actually, a small pedantic one...
15:12 Jorge Serapis ... do we know the gauge of the Caledon rails?
15:12 Ember (emberell) I mentioned last week, but LL put out a small notice regarding the issues with friend's lists sometimes not loading properly, or not reflecting who is currently online well. They are working towards a solution, but recommend users find a quiet and somewhat empty sim (like a sandbox) and relog there, which hsould fix the issue on a local side
15:13 lovejoy2199 Good question, Jorge.
15:13 Ember (emberell) I'd be curious about that as well, actually :-)
15:13 lovejoy2199 I think it is standard SL.
15:13 Jorge Serapis .. which is what, in cm?
15:13 lovejoy2199 Although, I can't make any of my engines run on it.
15:14 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hmmm I don't, although it is measurable
15:14 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I have a tied up animation. I hope to install some villainous damsel in distress locations on the rails soon
15:14 Jorge Serapis I've been working on fixing small infrastructure here and there, and there doesn't seem to be a consistency.
15:14 Wordsmith Jarvinen I'd have to look up from where to where on a rail bed
15:15 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Is there any cliffs to place cliffhanging heroes onto? :-)
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen There's some heroine tie-down places
15:15 Jorge Serapis We can hide some on Oxbridge's towers. :_)
15:15 lovejoy2199 There are places to tie down damsels.
15:15 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) the one in Southend was lost I think
15:16 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) so I was working there
15:16 Larky (larkylouz) suggests equal opportunity tie downs - male, female non-binary
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen grins
15:16 Ember (emberell) pose balls for anyone to pose as a person-in-distress? :-)
15:16 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) nods
15:16 Jorge Serapis Gender neutral tie downs. I approve of this.
15:17 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) i guess I'll put in a dark angel of drafa to appear. caan;t get upset with a markap bad guy
15:17 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) markab
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen Interesting question on the gauge.
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen From various discussions, I don't think the trains are choosy about gender and whom they run over.
15:18 Larky (larkylouz) lol
15:19 SashaKylebaka ru>en excuse me, I need to go out, sweet smile
15:19 Ember (emberell) Otherwise, I might suggest sensitivity train-ing
15:19 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) they tend to be equal opportunity
15:19 Wordsmith Jarvinen take care, Sally
15:19 Wordsmith Jarvinen Other questions?
15:19 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hi katie
15:20 Katie (katie.canningham) Hi Andrea!
15:20 Jorge Serapis aye.. the port Caledon trolley is developing the same hunger for flesh as the Caledon Cay trolley did.
15:20 Wordsmith Jarvinen Elfbiter has his writers' workshop at 11am on Thursdays
15:21 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) One can come even if they were allergic to cats
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen Val and I postponed last Thursdays sci-fi read until next month, since many of the normal participants were working on SL20B builds
15:21 Jorge Serapis Oh, how genius would that be.. ? Develop an SL allergy HUD.
15:22 Ember (emberell) Sorry, Jorge, I'm allergic to work
15:22 Jorge Serapis BRAVO!!!!!!
15:22 Jorge Serapis ***** APPPPPPPLLLLAAAUUUSSSSEEEEEEE***********

15:25 Katie (katie.canningham) TC!
15:26 Larky (larkylouz) Take care everyone.
15:26 lovejoy2199 btw, Word: On oneside of the entrance to the exhibit, I would suggest a large statue of Ember. One the otherside, a large statue of Elf.
15:26 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) poofs
15:26 Ember (emberell) If there are any lingering questions on the way out, please feel free to ask
15:27 Ember (emberell) I think that might detract from the focus of the exhibit, really
15:27 Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) badgerofzen gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway.
15:27 Ember (emberell) Oxbridge and the learning it offers is our focus here :-)
15:27 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) ty badger
15:27 Ember (emberell) Thank you for your donation, Badger!
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen Oh, Ember, I put out a notice that last week's general Q&A transcript is up as well as the 28 May Deans' Q&A transcript
15:28 lovejoy2199 If you come to visit, you will probably see both of them.
15:28 Ember (emberell) Thank you for putting htose up, Word!
