Wordsmith Jarvinen |
What might you have for us today, Ember (Dean of Commons)? |
| 15:02 |
Ember (emberell) |
This week in the RL side off things has been busy for me, but I've been keeping up with campus affairs. Mostly it was managing a brief lecture hall mishap - which has been corrected, thanks muchly to the help of Mr. Ormstein. |
| 15:02 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Ooer |
| 15:03 |
Ember (emberell) |
Aside from my usual work keeping campus safe and accessible, Oxbridge is always looking for new tutors and help staff - I hear there may have been some interest in that in the community meeting Neoguv hosted. As always, please always feel free to reach out to me, or any of the other staff here and we can figure out how to get you involved 💛 |
| 15:03 |
Ember (emberell) |
That's all from me this week. |
| 15:03 |
Ember (emberell) |
Welcome Evey |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm floored |
| 15:04 |
Ember (emberell) |
Oh, yes, I did make a makeshift lecture hall floor for emergencies |
| 15:04 |
Ember (emberell) |
It's not ideal, but, should do in a pinch :-) |
| 15:04 |
Agatha Macbeth |
What happened to the old one? |
| 15:04 |
Ember (emberell) |
Oh, it went on a brief walkabout. IT's returned now |
| 15:04 |
Ember (emberell) |
It happens occasionally with Oxbridge stuff |
| 15:04 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Ay |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
ty Ember, for the report and temporarily flooring us |
| 15:04 |
Ember (emberell) |
Happy to help, Word. Back to you |

| 15:06 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Don;t forget |
| 15:07 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
the newcommers' ball is this week |
| 15:07 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
There are donation coins at the entrances to the park |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Which day? |
| 15:07 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Let me check that for you and bring it up shortly |
| 15:07 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I don;t trust my memory |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'll put a poster out at Oxbridge |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
thanks I'm in the SL viewer and can't load it right now. My firestorm and norton suddenly do not get along |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
back to you Wordsmith |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
From me, we remain in excellent financial condition, although the account dropped by 3k $L since the 27th of October. |
| 15:10 |
John Laughing (thesoundofonemanlaughing) |

| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The Oxbridge graphs on the wll behind me are current to today. Not anything new on the visitor timeline really, but the class attendance timeline has a nice increase, with the addition of classes by Suzanna (and Ali) and Sasha. |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The weekly and monthly statistics summaries on the website are current: https://www.caledonoxbridge.org/statistics/index.php |
| 15:13 |
John Laughing (thesoundofonemanlaughing) |
Nice |

Evey (evey45) |

Ember (emberell) |
Welcome, Jan |
| 15:14 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Hello Jan |
| 15:14 |
Jan Stroikavskoi |
Thank you Ember :) |
| 15:14 |
Jan Stroikavskoi |
Hi :)) |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And, I got the transcript from yesterday's Caledon Community Meeting up just before this meeting. It's linked to: https://www.caledonoxbridge.org/ccm/ccm_index.php |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome, Jan :) |
| 15:15 |
Jan Stroikavskoi |
Hi Word :) |
| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
wabes. hi Jan |
| 15:15 |
|
Jan Stroikavskoi whispers Hi Andrea ;) |
| 15:15 |
|
Katie (katie.canningham) jumps down, scampers over, jumps onto the bench next to Jan, hugs her, then scampers back |
| 15:15 |
Jan Stroikavskoi |
Hugs Katie :) |
| 15:16 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |

| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And that's the reports from me, open for questions, comments, general announcement, comas, etc. |
| 15:16 |
Evey (evey45) |
I'd like to propose an idea to bring more people and give a better service |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Evey? |
| 15:16 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Sounds good :p |
| 15:16 |
Evey (evey45) |
It's a simple board, and I'm sure Suzanna or ali could script it. So the newbies o newcomers could ask directly a dean/tutor/volunteers that were online. I'm guessing it could work like logging in the board with the amount of time that volunteers are willing to spend answering when /if there are questions/tours/ guiding etc. We dont need lindens just volunteers. |
| 15:16 |
Evey (evey45) |
https://gyazo.com/c90574a609d364d6d607149bb68f6794 |
| 15:16 |
Evey (evey45) |
this is the idea |
| 15:17 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I have seen similar boards elsewhere. |
| 15:17 |
Ember (emberell) |
We've been hesitant for that in the past, since online tutors may be off relaxing, or doing other things and may not be available to be paged |
| 15:17 |
Evey (evey45) |
but in this one, they would "log in" |
| 15:17 |
Ember (emberell) |
But it could possibly be done with some sort of system link the mentor pager hud that the SL mentorship program uses - a help buton that pings an attachment worn by willing tutors |
| 15:17 |
Evey (evey45) |
very nice idea Ember! |
| 15:17 |
Ember (emberell) |
Either way it'd need an easy log-out button so newcomers aren't disgruntled having no response |
| 15:18 |
Ember (emberell) |
(one that's not easy for tutors to forget to click or so) |
| 15:18 |
Evey (evey45) |
If you authorize it I can ask suzanna and ali |
| 15:19 |
Evey (evey45) |
a board for them, a hud for us |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
No need, I can script it if you can Ember define what you want, and Ember can check with tutors on what they want in this direction. |
| 15:20 |
Evey (evey45) |
great! |
| 15:20 |
|
Ember (emberell) nods |
| 15:20 |
Ember (emberell) |
I'll post a question for the current tutors for feedback and see what might be agreeable. Currently it -has- just been, being there. But I know some tutors in the past have expressed interest in having something that lets them know when a student is at Oxbridge |
| 15:20 |
Ember (emberell) |
(and wants a direct line) |
| 15:21 |
Spike Rose (spike.bloodrose) |
an opt-in system maybe? |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yep |
| 15:21 |
Ember (emberell) |
Yeah. I have some ideas for what to posit, will just need a day or two to polish a notice, and reach out to some of the more frequent folk who are there to help |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
But before newbies can click on a board (when there isn't a tutor in the plaza already), they have to come to Oxbridge, and the visitor timeline graph shows that isn't happening. We are getting about 5-7 newbies (first day and first week) per week. |
| 15:24 |
|
Ember (emberell) nods |
| 15:24 |
Evey (evey45) |
well, some of us can visit some hubs, newbies corners and bring them here |
| 15:24 |
Ember (emberell) |
Word, do you think it might be helpful to link something on the website to the board as well? |
| 15:25 |
Ember (emberell) |
I think in the end we want to encourage people to be here. It's always nice when tutors, or even just helpful folk (since you can help here without being an official tutor) to bring folk to browse the tutorials |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
nods, that would help. We do have a spot in LL's welcome hub, and also at the VWEC sim landing spot, btw. |
| 15:26 |
Ember (emberell) |
Yes, I'm there occasionally too. It's a nice display |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other topics? |
| 15:27 |
Evey (evey45) |
can we have the landmarks available? so everyone with a little time could go there |
| 15:27 |
Ember (emberell) |
I can send them out in a notice again, and include it in the faculty kit |
| 15:27 |
Evey (evey45) |
great! thanks |
| 15:28 |
Ember (emberell) |
I'll double check that I haven't done the latter already, since Neo asked at one point if folk would be willing to keep an eye there and talk Caledon when they could |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
LWelcomeHub (96,149,25) |
| 15:29 |
Evey (evey45) |
great! thanks Words |
| 15:29 |
Ember (emberell) |
That leads to the welcome hub! The Caledon display is to the northwest, among the community exhibition stands |
| 15:29 |
Evey (evey45) |
that will be very good! |
| 15:30 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Just a mention. The village has been setup for the harvest festival. There are plenty of rides and games. the crazy birds ride gives you a great birds eye view of things in the village. |
| 15:31 |
Evey (evey45) |
"Touring Caledon" that will be my first mission and the village seems to be the right landing point! |
| 15:31 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
come for the rides, stay for the food |
| 15:31 |
Evey (evey45) |
and for the classes |
| 15:31 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
yes! |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Also look at the community meeting transcript, Neo had out the web address for registering new users direct to Oxbridge. |
| 15:31 |
Evey (evey45) |

Thank you, Katie |
| 15:34 |
Evey (evey45) |
Thank you! |
| 15:34 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Also. I am interested in doing a event on alt Sundays from the Bi weekly dance. Movies are out as many computers can't run media in sl. I would be interested in knowing what people would be interested in doing that would be worth coming in on a Sunday and possibly donating some Lindens. Please send me an IM on ideas. If you have something you would like to do that could be a fundraiser and event for the COU. Please let me know. |
| 15:34 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Keeo in mind we are a g-rated family oriented facility |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Okay, I just rezzed a copy of the Harvest Festival poster that Beth gave me |
| 15:36 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
click on the poster for more information |
| 15:37 |
Spike Rose (spike.bloodrose) |
starts right before my birthday, ahah. |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The Oxbridge region is G-rated, but Oxbridge Village is M-rated. |
| 15:37 |
Evey (evey45) |
will do Andrea |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And Oxbridge adheres to the maturity rules that LL has set. |
| 15:38 |
Ember (emberell) |
EArly happy birthday, Spike |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any other topics? |
| 15:39 |
John Laughing (thesoundofonemanlaughing) |
No questions, I will just say I am enjoying my little place on Caledon Port...or is it Port Caledon... |
| 15:40 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |

| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
