[17:13] Talon Lardner: Sorry folks, you think it is safe to look away for one moment, then WHAM! it's your turn... I think I now have a strategy for going earlier!
[17:14] Talon Lardner: Anywho, not much going on at the moment, but I do have a report prepared allready.
[17:14] Talon Lardner: We are looking for beta-testers for a possible Activiites related function, enquire to Talon Lardner for details.
[17:14] Talon Lardner: By beta testers, I mean ensigns and cadets who don't mind taking part in a project that could very well take off, or fail MISERABLY... but I need beta testers to find out
[17:15] Talon Lardner: You'll be seeing some new RPs pop up soon, feel free to check the callendar frequently for updates!
[17:15] Rowan Jacobus: Yay!
[17:15] Talon Lardner: RP 101 is almost a go! Expect the first class to be ran sometime next week! We are hoping to have this class be a basic class available to help both officers and crewmen meet their academy requirements
[17:15] Talon Lardner: And last, but probally the MOST important...
[17:15] Talon Lardner: if you have ANY concerns, comments, or frustrations with a current RP or Role-player here at SLQ, PLEASE contact me ASAP. I hope to make RP here a fun, enjoyable, and safe experience for all.
[17:16] Talon Lardner: If there are any questions, feel free to ask me now, otherwise, I yield the floor to the admirals

[17:19] Bedwyr Merlin: Thank you, Admiral
[17:19] Bedwyr Merlin: Friends, Vulcans, Countrymen.... lend me your ears....
[17:20] Gaviota Lane: lol
[17:20] Bedwyr Merlin: This will be brief- I was only asked to step in with a quick report a few minutes ago.
[17:20] Bedwyr Merlin: The Academy is expanding its services and courses rapidly
[17:20] Bedwyr Merlin: The RP 101 course Cdr Lardner mentioned HAS been approved and will be offered this week!
[17:21] Bedwyr Merlin: (clapping now is good...)
[17:21] Gizmo Theas smiles

[17:21] Kyler McMahon claps
[17:21] BJ Cheetah claps
[17:21] DarthBunny Petrov claps
[17:21] Bedwyr Merlin: This is one of a number of courses available to our new recruits to assimilate them (ooh, bad word) into our collect.... er, society
[17:21] RoBobby McMillan: hehehe
[17:22] Si Arcadia + sourit jusqu'aux oreilles + * smiles up to ears *
[17:22] Azkharel Dagger: lol
[17:22] You: do i clap now again?
[17:22] Bedwyr Merlin: On another note... There is a new position at the Academy which has been introduced..
[17:22] Gizmo Theas smiles
[17:22] Bedwyr Merlin: (aye, sir - please clap as often as you like...) :-)
[17:22] Bedwyr Merlin: I have assumed the role of "Provost" for the Academy.
[17:23] Bedwyr Merlin: The full position description has been posted to the Forum site for review.
[17:23] Gaviota Lane: Yippee!
[17:23] Bedwyr Merlin: The brief description is as follows:
[17:23] Bedwyr Merlin: The Provost is a Senior Academic Officer reporting directly to the Commandant of the Academy. The Provost will directly oversee all aspects of Student Evluation and Assessment and will strive to create an environment in which all students have a reasonable opportunity for sucess. The Provost will work collaboratively and in support of the Superintendent in matters of curriculum development and review.
[17:24] Bedwyr Merlin: In RL, I am a professional educator, as well as a musician. It was felt that the Academy needed someone to directly oversee student issues who had a background in Academia.
[17:24] Katrina Bixby: claps
[17:24] Bedwyr Merlin: I am looking for people who can assist me in this endeavor.
[17:25] Bedwyr Merlin: Specifically - I am in need of other RL educators AND RL counselors
[17:25] Bedwyr Merlin: If you have a background in these areas, please IM me privately so that we can discuss the Provost office in more detail.
[17:26] Bedwyr Merlin: That is about all I have. Are there any questions I can make up answers to?
[17:26] Aimhigh Seelowe: Yes sir I have a question....there has been reference to cadets all during this meeting. As far as we know...there IS no Academy sir. And no cadets at this time.
[17:26] Si Arcadia: claps.
[17:26] Si Arcadia claps
[17:26] Aimhigh Seelowe: And no Academy.
[17:26] Aimhigh Seelowe: Just classes.
[17:27] Bedwyr Merlin: Once a Recruit has passed their training and become Crewmen - they can move into Officer Training - thus becoming Cadets.
[17:27] Hortense Rasmuson: how sir?
[17:27] Aimhigh Seelowe: It is my understanding that the Enlisted men and women then have an opportunity to enter the Academy...if recommended by superiors...and graduate...as Ensigns.
[17:27] Bedwyr Merlin: Lt Ekevu Lian, Academy Superintendent, is also the Dean for Officer Training. He is in the process of setting up that program. I am not aware of its status at the moment.
[17:27] Kizna Oh: *Raises Paw*
[17:28] Aimhigh Seelowe: But there are no Cadets...
[17:28] Bedwyr Merlin: You are correct - that is the process. The Academy is designed, at the moment, to facilitate the training of BOTH recruits and Cadets.
[17:28] Aimhigh Seelowe: at this time?
[17:28] Bedwyr Merlin: Until Lt Lian secures a curriculum, I would say that is accurate.
[17:28] Aimhigh Seelowe: Thank you sir.
[17:28] Bedwyr Merlin: I would also hope the delay would be minimal.
[17:28] Bedwyr Merlin: Mr Oh?
[17:28] Aimhigh Seelowe: As would I.
[17:29] Kizna Oh: A few things about this i have talkes with Lt Lion a few hours ago about this ans yes for applying in the Officer School you need a Recommendation from a Lead. Thats was what he have told me
[17:29] Kizna Oh: but maybe it will change who knows :-)
[17:30] Bedwyr Merlin: What that sounds like to me, then, is that a Crewman, freshly annointed as such, should approach their Lead officer for a recommendation.
[17:30] Aimhigh Seelowe: ut...there is no program as yet...
[17:30] Aimhigh Seelowe: to be reccomended for.
[17:31] Aimhigh Seelowe: Sir.
[17:31] Bedwyr Merlin: I don't mean to be obtuse. My position deals with ALL student assessment and, in Dolamite's absence, I have been covering for Recruit Training. I'm not directly involved with the curriculum design for Officer training.
[17:31] Jyrras Wilder: seelowe hush
[17:31] Aimhigh Seelowe: With respects...
[17:31] Bedwyr Merlin: Still - I would suggest you approach your Lead officer anyway and have them send the the recommendation to Lt Lian - that will help speed that process along.
[17:32] Aimhigh Seelowe: this is the only forum to get this straightened out ma'am.
[17:32] Deej Kasshiki raises a paw
[17:32] Kizna Oh: when there will be cadets then he will make classes for them ^^
[17:32] Aimhigh Seelowe: ::nods:: Thanks you sir.
[17:32] Bedwyr Merlin: Well - we need a full curriculum in place with or without cadets... But this will help move that process along.
[17:32] Bedwyr Merlin: Dr Kasshiki?
[17:33] Deej Kasshiki: Thank you Bedwyr
[17:33] Deej Kasshiki: As you all may or may not know I am also a Dean of Medicine with the Academy...
[17:34] Deej Kasshiki: and an instructor and I'd just lik eto ask for everyone's patience during this time
[17:34] Deej Kasshiki: We are working with large numbers of new recruits with not enough staff and not enough support personnel
[17:35] Bedwyr Merlin: Aye
[17:35] Bedwyr Merlin: good problems - but problems nonetheless
[17:35] Deej Kasshiki: I'm teaching, designing courses, acting as Dean in addition to my duties in Medical
[17:36] Deej Kasshiki: Tere aren't enough hours in the day to do everything...
[17:36] Bedwyr Merlin: Yes - that has been the rule. Lt Lian is Superintendent, but also a Dean. Lt Giffen is the Vice-Commandant but also serving as a Dean... It's difficult to get everything organized.
[17:36] Deej Kasshiki: I understand many of you are frustrated and waiting for classes
[17:36] Bedwyr Merlin: Some of you wth RL academia backgrounds should also consider working for the Academy in these capacities, as well.
[17:37] Deej Kasshiki: but keep in mind that the academy as currently sructured is b=very new and we have many issues to resolove
[17:37] Deej Kasshiki: So if you can give us time to resolve these issues...and ESPECIALLY if any of you would like to volunteer as instructors
[17:37] Deej Kasshiki: that would be greatlt appreciated
[17:37] Bedwyr Merlin: Defiitely
[17:38] Deej Kasshiki: *greatly
[17:38] Bedwyr Merlin: *Definitely
[17:38] Aimhigh Seelowe: Of course sir...we just needed the info.
[17:38] Deej Kasshiki: Thank you Bedwyr
[17:38] Bedwyr Merlin: Thank you, Deej!
[17:38] Bedwyr Merlin: Are there any other questions I can answer?
[17:38] Bedwyr Merlin: Excellent. Admirals, may I step down?
[17:38] You: indeed
[17:39] You: dismissed
[17:39] Si Arcadia: claps.

[17:40] You: and now, a report from the Library, Ltjg RoBobby McMillan

[17:40] Si Arcadia: claps.

[17:40] Si Arcadia claps
[17:40] Kizna Oh claps
[17:40] Christopher Molinaro claps
[17:41] RoBobby McMillan: greetings all!
[17:41] RoBobby McMillan: The Library is at it again! Thanks to the efforts of Crewman Demeter Slade and Ensign Ashtar Hian amongst others, the Star Trek episode database is nearly complete! We will continue to work on this, as well as information that can be used in RPs. We will also work together with the project of the SFCSLQ computer: we will, amongst others, provide the information for this project.
[17:41] RoBobby McMillan: Internal news in the Library: We have an Assistant Lead! Ensign Ashtar Hian will be assisting me in tasks in the Library. So if you have any questions about the Library, feel free to IM either Ashtar or myself.
[17:42] RoBobby McMillan: Other news: The Library has started on getting together information about the actors and characters of the Star Trek series. Come and visit the Library and find out how far that information goes!
[17:42] RoBobby McMillan: Just a couple of hours ago, I got the assurance of Xenomusicology (I hope I spelled it right! ) that there will be a sound-archive in the Library, with not only Star Trek sounds, but sounds made by members as well! I would like to thank the members of Xenomusicology for making this possible.
[17:42] RoBobby McMillan: As Lt.cmdr Noarlunga already reported: Q-Pedia will fall under the flag of the Library. We will strive to continue the goals Q-Pedia was founded with. I hope to have more information on how we'll do this, next meeting. Thank you for allowing the Library to take over Q-Pedia, Vanessa.
[17:43] RoBobby McMillan: That's it for now. See you all in the next GM, I hope. Or somewhere in the Library. Take care all! Unless there are any questions, 'cause then I'll gladly address them here.
[17:43] Bedwyr Merlin: *raises hand*
[17:43] Gizmo Theas: .-'`'-. APPLAUSE APPLAUSE .-'`'-.
[17:43] RoBobby McMillan: Mr. Merlin.
[17:43] Ramesh Singh: *Raises Hand*
[17:44] Bedwyr Merlin: (now wearing XenoMus hat...)
[17:44] Bedwyr Merlin: We are hoping to put a sound library together - it will primarily be housed through the Science division. We're not sure what the scope of the Academy version will be - yet...
[17:44] Bedwyr Merlin: It may or not be the full version - it may only be a sample of what we're doing...
[17:45] Bedwyr Merlin: I still need to consult with Cdr Noarlunga on those points - but we're excited about having something at the Academy.
[17:46] RoBobby McMillan: I understand. I probably should have worded that better. I've had a conversation with Gandalf, and he said XenoMus would be interested in making a sound archive indeed. He also said that there would be sounds to be shared with the Library. I apologise if I've made it believe that the Library will hold the entire database: that is not the case.
[17:46] Katrina Bixby gave you Rejecting Lucas Atlantis for StarFleet.
[17:46] RoBobby McMillan: Thank you for pointing that out.
[17:47] Bedwyr Merlin: Oh - no worries - I just wanted to be clear that we'll be at the Library but we just don't know to what extent.
[17:47] Aimhigh Seelowe: ::anything but that damned "john Luke Picard" song::
[17:47] RoBobby McMillan: Aye. Now, I believe there was another question: Mr. Singh?
[17:47] Jyrras Wilder: aimhigh would you please be quiet now
[17:48] Ramesh Singh: yes thank you, just a quick question the information and visuals in the library are they available to copy and use for courses taughtin the academy ?
[17:48] RoBobby McMillan: If you'd like to use them for courses, please IM me: I'll see if they can be made available for that goal indeed.
[17:49] RoBobby McMillan: ARe there any other questions?
[17:49] RoBobby McMillan: Then I would like to conclude by saying thank you to the Library staff, without whom this would not be possible. Thank you.

[17:51] Vanessa Noarlunga: I can
[17:51] Vanessa Noarlunga: Give a short report on Linguistics
[17:52] You: very well LtCmdr, please do
[17:52] Vanessa Noarlunga: this will be very short and on the fly
[17:52] Vanessa Noarlunga: Linguistics is currently developing Academy courses for Non English speaking members in basic english
[17:53] Vanessa Noarlunga: Also an automated babel fish like translator is almost completed and will be included in the new Comm badge
[17:53] Bedwyr Merlin: *raises hand*
[17:54] Vanessa Noarlunga: Finally Linguistics is exploring the idea to expanding their services beyond SLQ for rvenue ...where 1/2 goes to the actual translator and 1/2 to the SIm Donation fund but that is a concept discussion only at the moment
[17:54] Vanessa Noarlunga: that be it
[17:54] Vanessa Noarlunga: yes mr. Merlin?
[17:54] Bedwyr Merlin: (wearing the Provost hat again...)
[17:55] Bedwyr Merlin: We are in need of a JAPANESE translator... If anyone is fluent, please contact Mr Dench or myself about translatiing Academy and other materials into Japanese...
[17:55] Vanessa Noarlunga waits till Merlin has th right invisible imaginary hat on and for his question:
[17:55] Vanessa Noarlunga: ;-)

[17:55] Vanessa Noarlunga: I will help with that as I am

[17:57] BJ Cheetah claps
[17:58] Ethan Muldoon: Good afternoon Admirals, fellow officers, cadets, crewman, recruits and guests (whew...hope that lists does not get longer).
[17:58] Ethan Muldoon: The Personnel sub-division has been busy with many new recruits and new crewman coming in for placement into our fine divisions.
[17:58] Ethan Muldoon: As mentioned last week in General Meeting, Personnel is looking for additional staff. If there is anyone that is interested, and has the time to devote, please contact me via IM or drop a notecard on my desk in the Personnel office, upper level.
[17:58] Ethan Muldoon: As mentioned, the placement office is getting underway with new crewman coming in looking for those first assignments. I ask that every division/sub-divison lead respond when our staff sends a notification to you requesting you contact a person regarding an interview for your division. They are being told that you will make first contact with them within 72 hours. Please make this happen
[17:58] Ethan Muldoon: If you are not aware, Lt. jg Morgue McMillan is currently offline due to RL issues ((seems her internet was cut to her home by workers)). She has plans to return ASAP. Until that time, I am handleing the plalcement issues within the Personnel Office, so IM me, or Stones Petty, Personnel Lead.
[17:59] Ethan Muldoon: In closing, I want to thank those of you that have started moving into their offices here in Galaxy. I am not sure if my words last week had anything to do with it, but we welcome you as neighbors...again.
[17:59] Ethan Muldoon: That concludes my report. Is there any questions?
[17:59] Jyrras Wilder: *Raises Hand*
[17:59] Ethan Muldoon: Yes, Lt. Wilder?
[18:00] Jyrras Wilder: is there any chance of moving one of the prcesing rooms the crosschat is bad
[18:00] Ethan Muldoon: Which room are you talking about, and where is the cross chat coming from?
[18:00] Jyrras Wilder: if we are procesing more then one person
[18:01] Si Arcadia: /Greetings, furry things and other different types of attachments wearers: /- Division: There was a conference held this week at the infinity quark's bar, about a possible new role of "Masters At Arms"; /this new role would serve 3 purpose wich are to inform about regulations, give tours to places with different rules and building/ scipting; /details will keep being given in the SFCSLQ Regulations group about this new role, please feel free to join to get the latest - Projects: There was an informal meeting today about the functions of sim scanner, wich would help in locating people in need of reg info; /this would supplement the helmet-invisible wich can transport trans-sim, and communicate to the latest keyboard-5pictures( 1prim ); /you can allready help make the beta transport beams development and keyboard-viewer by giving feedback and suggestions /- Regulations: Besides the duty-officer's notecard that has been approved and deposited to regulations, nothing new at regulations;
[18:01] Vanessa Noarlunga: Cross chat comes from next door if both offices are used
[18:01] Si Arcadia: there will be hopefully, more people sending their rules and procedures for archiving soon, the admiralty should review the main-notecard; /as for those who want to have anything officially archived, please contact the regulations group as soon as possible /( Addendum to the one who made a SFCSLQ youtube machinima on me, I'm good since it's sayd: "...attachments that cause chat spam" ) / Thank-you for your patience, and I hope to see you having fun, or chasing griefers in one of SFCSLQ's sims!
[18:01] Si Arcadia: ( Sorry, as per usual, I "pop" at 6pm
[18:01] Si Arcadia: See-you, all
[18:01] Warren Holt: Bye Si
[18:01] Jyrras Wilder: last week me and lt cmft noarluga was doing a processing in both rooms and it was pretty bad with crosschat
[18:02] Ramesh Singh: i was involved in that as well
[18:02] Warren Holt: (that was the quickest division report i ever seen)
[18:02] Ethan Muldoon: I will look into it. However another option in a situation like that is the use of IM
[18:02] DarthBunny Petrov raises hand
[18:02] Ethan Muldoon: Thank you for the information Lt. I will check into it.
[18:02] Ethan Muldoon: Yes, Mr. Petrov
[18:03] You: wow, was that a drive by report?
[18:03] DarthBunny Petrov: One problem with using IM is that recruiters and trainees can't observe the processing, and sometimes a personnel officer processes two recruits at once
[18:03] Warren Holt: (indeed it was)
[18:03] Ethan Muldoon: hehe, trying to make it quick sir.
[18:03] Vanessa Noarlunga: it was a SI extravaganza....
[18:03] Ethan Muldoon: They can if you use friends conference
[18:03] Jyrras Wilder: exactly what mr petroc said
[18:03] You: (no, refering to Si's .....report...)
[18:03] Ethan Muldoon: ah.
[18:04] Ethan Muldoon: If you are not sure how to do that, I can show you.
[18:04] Ethan Muldoon: Any other questions?
[18:04] Ethan Muldoon: very well, I return the floor to the Admirals

[17:20] Bedwyr Merlin: This will be brief- I was only asked to step in with a quick report a few minutes ago.
[17:20] Bedwyr Merlin: The Academy is expanding its services and courses rapidly
[17:20] Bedwyr Merlin: The RP 101 course Cdr Lardner mentioned HAS been approved and will be offered this week!
[17:21] Bedwyr Merlin: (clapping now is good...)
[17:21] Gizmo Theas smiles

[17:21] Bedwyr Merlin: This is one of a number of courses available to our new recruits to assimilate them (ooh, bad word) into our collect.... er, society
[17:21] RoBobby McMillan: hehehe
[17:22] Si Arcadia + sourit jusqu'aux oreilles + * smiles up to ears *
[17:22] Azkharel Dagger: lol
[17:22] You: do i clap now again?
[17:22] Bedwyr Merlin: On another note... There is a new position at the Academy which has been introduced..
[17:22] Gizmo Theas smiles
[17:22] Bedwyr Merlin: (aye, sir - please clap as often as you like...) :-)
[17:22] Bedwyr Merlin: I have assumed the role of "Provost" for the Academy.
[17:23] Bedwyr Merlin: The full position description has been posted to the Forum site for review.
[17:23] Gaviota Lane: Yippee!
[17:23] Bedwyr Merlin: The brief description is as follows:
[17:23] Bedwyr Merlin: The Provost is a Senior Academic Officer reporting directly to the Commandant of the Academy. The Provost will directly oversee all aspects of Student Evluation and Assessment and will strive to create an environment in which all students have a reasonable opportunity for sucess. The Provost will work collaboratively and in support of the Superintendent in matters of curriculum development and review.
[17:24] Bedwyr Merlin: In RL, I am a professional educator, as well as a musician. It was felt that the Academy needed someone to directly oversee student issues who had a background in Academia.
[17:24] Katrina Bixby: claps
[17:24] Bedwyr Merlin: I am looking for people who can assist me in this endeavor.
[17:25] Bedwyr Merlin: Specifically - I am in need of other RL educators AND RL counselors
[17:25] Bedwyr Merlin: If you have a background in these areas, please IM me privately so that we can discuss the Provost office in more detail.
[17:26] Bedwyr Merlin: That is about all I have. Are there any questions I can make up answers to?
[17:26] Aimhigh Seelowe: Yes sir I have a question....there has been reference to cadets all during this meeting. As far as we know...there IS no Academy sir. And no cadets at this time.
[17:26] Si Arcadia: claps.
[17:26] Si Arcadia claps
[17:26] Aimhigh Seelowe: And no Academy.
[17:26] Aimhigh Seelowe: Just classes.
[17:27] Bedwyr Merlin: Once a Recruit has passed their training and become Crewmen - they can move into Officer Training - thus becoming Cadets.
[17:27] Hortense Rasmuson: how sir?
[17:27] Aimhigh Seelowe: It is my understanding that the Enlisted men and women then have an opportunity to enter the Academy...if recommended by superiors...and graduate...as Ensigns.
[17:27] Bedwyr Merlin: Lt Ekevu Lian, Academy Superintendent, is also the Dean for Officer Training. He is in the process of setting up that program. I am not aware of its status at the moment.
[17:27] Kizna Oh: *Raises Paw*
[17:28] Aimhigh Seelowe: But there are no Cadets...
[17:28] Bedwyr Merlin: You are correct - that is the process. The Academy is designed, at the moment, to facilitate the training of BOTH recruits and Cadets.
[17:28] Aimhigh Seelowe: at this time?
[17:28] Bedwyr Merlin: Until Lt Lian secures a curriculum, I would say that is accurate.
[17:28] Aimhigh Seelowe: Thank you sir.
[17:28] Bedwyr Merlin: I would also hope the delay would be minimal.
[17:28] Bedwyr Merlin: Mr Oh?
[17:28] Aimhigh Seelowe: As would I.
[17:29] Kizna Oh: A few things about this i have talkes with Lt Lion a few hours ago about this ans yes for applying in the Officer School you need a Recommendation from a Lead. Thats was what he have told me
[17:29] Kizna Oh: but maybe it will change who knows :-)
[17:30] Bedwyr Merlin: What that sounds like to me, then, is that a Crewman, freshly annointed as such, should approach their Lead officer for a recommendation.
[17:30] Aimhigh Seelowe: ut...there is no program as yet...
[17:30] Aimhigh Seelowe: to be reccomended for.
[17:31] Aimhigh Seelowe: Sir.
[17:31] Bedwyr Merlin: I don't mean to be obtuse. My position deals with ALL student assessment and, in Dolamite's absence, I have been covering for Recruit Training. I'm not directly involved with the curriculum design for Officer training.
[17:31] Jyrras Wilder: seelowe hush
[17:31] Aimhigh Seelowe: With respects...
[17:31] Bedwyr Merlin: Still - I would suggest you approach your Lead officer anyway and have them send the the recommendation to Lt Lian - that will help speed that process along.
[17:32] Aimhigh Seelowe: this is the only forum to get this straightened out ma'am.
[17:32] Deej Kasshiki raises a paw
[17:32] Kizna Oh: when there will be cadets then he will make classes for them ^^
[17:32] Aimhigh Seelowe: ::nods:: Thanks you sir.
[17:32] Bedwyr Merlin: Well - we need a full curriculum in place with or without cadets... But this will help move that process along.
[17:32] Bedwyr Merlin: Dr Kasshiki?
[17:33] Deej Kasshiki: Thank you Bedwyr
[17:33] Deej Kasshiki: As you all may or may not know I am also a Dean of Medicine with the Academy...
[17:34] Deej Kasshiki: and an instructor and I'd just lik eto ask for everyone's patience during this time
[17:34] Deej Kasshiki: We are working with large numbers of new recruits with not enough staff and not enough support personnel
[17:35] Bedwyr Merlin: Aye
[17:35] Bedwyr Merlin: good problems - but problems nonetheless
[17:35] Deej Kasshiki: I'm teaching, designing courses, acting as Dean in addition to my duties in Medical
[17:36] Deej Kasshiki: Tere aren't enough hours in the day to do everything...
[17:36] Bedwyr Merlin: Yes - that has been the rule. Lt Lian is Superintendent, but also a Dean. Lt Giffen is the Vice-Commandant but also serving as a Dean... It's difficult to get everything organized.
[17:36] Deej Kasshiki: I understand many of you are frustrated and waiting for classes
[17:36] Bedwyr Merlin: Some of you wth RL academia backgrounds should also consider working for the Academy in these capacities, as well.
[17:37] Deej Kasshiki: but keep in mind that the academy as currently sructured is b=very new and we have many issues to resolove
[17:37] Deej Kasshiki: So if you can give us time to resolve these issues...and ESPECIALLY if any of you would like to volunteer as instructors
[17:37] Deej Kasshiki: that would be greatlt appreciated
[17:37] Bedwyr Merlin: Defiitely
[17:38] Deej Kasshiki: *greatly
[17:38] Bedwyr Merlin: *Definitely
[17:38] Aimhigh Seelowe: Of course sir...we just needed the info.
[17:38] Deej Kasshiki: Thank you Bedwyr
[17:38] Bedwyr Merlin: Thank you, Deej!
[17:38] Bedwyr Merlin: Are there any other questions I can answer?
[17:38] Bedwyr Merlin: Excellent. Admirals, may I step down?
[17:38] You: indeed
[17:39] You: dismissed

[17:41] RoBobby McMillan: greetings all!
[17:41] RoBobby McMillan: The Library is at it again! Thanks to the efforts of Crewman Demeter Slade and Ensign Ashtar Hian amongst others, the Star Trek episode database is nearly complete! We will continue to work on this, as well as information that can be used in RPs. We will also work together with the project of the SFCSLQ computer: we will, amongst others, provide the information for this project.
[17:41] RoBobby McMillan: Internal news in the Library: We have an Assistant Lead! Ensign Ashtar Hian will be assisting me in tasks in the Library. So if you have any questions about the Library, feel free to IM either Ashtar or myself.
[17:42] RoBobby McMillan: Other news: The Library has started on getting together information about the actors and characters of the Star Trek series. Come and visit the Library and find out how far that information goes!
[17:42] RoBobby McMillan: Just a couple of hours ago, I got the assurance of Xenomusicology (I hope I spelled it right!
) that there will be a sound-archive in the Library, with not only Star Trek sounds, but sounds made by members as well! I would like to thank the members of Xenomusicology for making this possible.[17:42] RoBobby McMillan: As Lt.cmdr Noarlunga already reported: Q-Pedia will fall under the flag of the Library. We will strive to continue the goals Q-Pedia was founded with. I hope to have more information on how we'll do this, next meeting. Thank you for allowing the Library to take over Q-Pedia, Vanessa.
[17:43] RoBobby McMillan: That's it for now. See you all in the next GM, I hope. Or somewhere in the Library. Take care all! Unless there are any questions, 'cause then I'll gladly address them here.
[17:43] Bedwyr Merlin: *raises hand*
[17:43] Gizmo Theas: .-'`'-. APPLAUSE APPLAUSE .-'`'-.
[17:43] RoBobby McMillan: Mr. Merlin.
[17:43] Ramesh Singh: *Raises Hand*
[17:44] Bedwyr Merlin: (now wearing XenoMus hat...)
[17:44] Bedwyr Merlin: We are hoping to put a sound library together - it will primarily be housed through the Science division. We're not sure what the scope of the Academy version will be - yet...
[17:44] Bedwyr Merlin: It may or not be the full version - it may only be a sample of what we're doing...
[17:45] Bedwyr Merlin: I still need to consult with Cdr Noarlunga on those points - but we're excited about having something at the Academy.
[17:46] RoBobby McMillan: I understand. I probably should have worded that better. I've had a conversation with Gandalf, and he said XenoMus would be interested in making a sound archive indeed. He also said that there would be sounds to be shared with the Library. I apologise if I've made it believe that the Library will hold the entire database: that is not the case.
[17:46] Katrina Bixby gave you Rejecting Lucas Atlantis for StarFleet.
[17:46] RoBobby McMillan: Thank you for pointing that out.
[17:47] Bedwyr Merlin: Oh - no worries - I just wanted to be clear that we'll be at the Library but we just don't know to what extent.
[17:47] Aimhigh Seelowe: ::anything but that damned "john Luke Picard" song::
[17:47] RoBobby McMillan: Aye. Now, I believe there was another question: Mr. Singh?
[17:47] Jyrras Wilder: aimhigh would you please be quiet now
[17:48] Ramesh Singh: yes thank you, just a quick question the information and visuals in the library are they available to copy and use for courses taughtin the academy ?
[17:48] RoBobby McMillan: If you'd like to use them for courses, please IM me: I'll see if they can be made available for that goal indeed.
[17:49] RoBobby McMillan: ARe there any other questions?
[17:49] RoBobby McMillan: Then I would like to conclude by saying thank you to the Library staff, without whom this would not be possible. Thank you.

[17:51] Vanessa Noarlunga: I can
[17:51] Vanessa Noarlunga: Give a short report on Linguistics
[17:52] You: very well LtCmdr, please do
[17:52] Vanessa Noarlunga: this will be very short and on the fly
[17:52] Vanessa Noarlunga: Linguistics is currently developing Academy courses for Non English speaking members in basic english
[17:53] Vanessa Noarlunga: Also an automated babel fish like translator is almost completed and will be included in the new Comm badge
[17:53] Bedwyr Merlin: *raises hand*
[17:54] Vanessa Noarlunga: Finally Linguistics is exploring the idea to expanding their services beyond SLQ for rvenue ...where 1/2 goes to the actual translator and 1/2 to the SIm Donation fund but that is a concept discussion only at the moment
[17:54] Vanessa Noarlunga: that be it
[17:54] Vanessa Noarlunga: yes mr. Merlin?
[17:54] Bedwyr Merlin: (wearing the Provost hat again...)
[17:55] Bedwyr Merlin: We are in need of a JAPANESE translator... If anyone is fluent, please contact Mr Dench or myself about translatiing Academy and other materials into Japanese...

[17:57] You: next, Personnel report by Lt Cmdr Ethan Muldoon
[17:57] BJ Cheetah claps
[17:58] Ethan Muldoon: Good afternoon Admirals, fellow officers, cadets, crewman, recruits and guests (whew...hope that lists does not get longer).
[17:58] Ethan Muldoon: The Personnel sub-division has been busy with many new recruits and new crewman coming in for placement into our fine divisions.
[17:58] Ethan Muldoon: As mentioned last week in General Meeting, Personnel is looking for additional staff. If there is anyone that is interested, and has the time to devote, please contact me via IM or drop a notecard on my desk in the Personnel office, upper level.
[17:58] Ethan Muldoon: As mentioned, the placement office is getting underway with new crewman coming in looking for those first assignments. I ask that every division/sub-divison lead respond when our staff sends a notification to you requesting you contact a person regarding an interview for your division. They are being told that you will make first contact with them within 72 hours. Please make this happen
[17:58] Ethan Muldoon: If you are not aware, Lt. jg Morgue McMillan is currently offline due to RL issues ((seems her internet was cut to her home by workers)). She has plans to return ASAP. Until that time, I am handleing the plalcement issues within the Personnel Office, so IM me, or Stones Petty, Personnel Lead.
[17:59] Ethan Muldoon: In closing, I want to thank those of you that have started moving into their offices here in Galaxy. I am not sure if my words last week had anything to do with it, but we welcome you as neighbors...again.
[17:59] Ethan Muldoon: That concludes my report. Is there any questions?
[17:59] Jyrras Wilder: *Raises Hand*
[17:59] Ethan Muldoon: Yes, Lt. Wilder?
[18:00] Jyrras Wilder: is there any chance of moving one of the prcesing rooms the crosschat is bad
[18:00] Ethan Muldoon: Which room are you talking about, and where is the cross chat coming from?
[18:00] Jyrras Wilder: if we are procesing more then one person
[18:01] Si Arcadia: /Greetings, furry things and other different types of attachments wearers: /- Division: There was a conference held this week at the infinity quark's bar, about a possible new role of "Masters At Arms"; /this new role would serve 3 purpose wich are to inform about regulations, give tours to places with different rules and building/ scipting; /details will keep being given in the SFCSLQ Regulations group about this new role, please feel free to join to get the latest - Projects: There was an informal meeting today about the functions of sim scanner, wich would help in locating people in need of reg info; /this would supplement the helmet-invisible wich can transport trans-sim, and communicate to the latest keyboard-5pictures( 1prim ); /you can allready help make the beta transport beams development and keyboard-viewer by giving feedback and suggestions /- Regulations: Besides the duty-officer's notecard that has been approved and deposited to regulations, nothing new at regulations;
[18:01] Vanessa Noarlunga: Cross chat comes from next door if both offices are used
[18:01] Si Arcadia: there will be hopefully, more people sending their rules and procedures for archiving soon, the admiralty should review the main-notecard; /as for those who want to have anything officially archived, please contact the regulations group as soon as possible /( Addendum to the one who made a SFCSLQ youtube machinima on me, I'm good since it's sayd: "...attachments that cause chat spam" ) / Thank-you for your patience, and I hope to see you having fun, or chasing griefers in one of SFCSLQ's sims!
[18:01] Si Arcadia: ( Sorry, as per usual, I "pop" at 6pm
[18:01] Si Arcadia: See-you, all
[18:01] Warren Holt: Bye Si
[18:01] Jyrras Wilder: last week me and lt cmft noarluga was doing a processing in both rooms and it was pretty bad with crosschat
[18:02] Ramesh Singh: i was involved in that as well
[18:02] Warren Holt: (that was the quickest division report i ever seen)
[18:02] Ethan Muldoon: I will look into it. However another option in a situation like that is the use of IM
[18:02] DarthBunny Petrov raises hand
[18:02] Ethan Muldoon: Thank you for the information Lt. I will check into it.
[18:02] Ethan Muldoon: Yes, Mr. Petrov
[18:03] You: wow, was that a drive by report?
[18:03] DarthBunny Petrov: One problem with using IM is that recruiters and trainees can't observe the processing, and sometimes a personnel officer processes two recruits at once
[18:03] Warren Holt: (indeed it was)
[18:03] Ethan Muldoon: hehe, trying to make it quick sir.
[18:03] Vanessa Noarlunga: it was a SI extravaganza....
[18:03] Ethan Muldoon: They can if you use friends conference
[18:03] Jyrras Wilder: exactly what mr petroc said
[18:03] You: (no, refering to Si's .....report...)
[18:03] Ethan Muldoon: ah.
[18:04] Ethan Muldoon: If you are not sure how to do that, I can show you.
[18:04] Ethan Muldoon: Any other questions?
[18:04] Ethan Muldoon: very well, I return the floor to the Admirals
[18:05] You: thanks, always wanted this floor....
