More SL15B Exhibits

The official events of the Second Life Fifteenth Birthday are over. Except for the "Cake Explosion" later this week, no other happenings are planned. But that doesn't mean the fun has come to an end. With fewer people around, the lag is less, and you can enjoy the exhibits more. Or perhaps there are some you haven't seen yet, some you want to see again, or both. Gemma Cleanslate has been going around the SL15B sims, and wrote on more exhibits.

Sneak Peek: The Newser SL15B Exhibit

Some last minute work on the SL15B exhibit for the Newser before the sims were temporarily closed to builders on Thursday at Noon. Yours truly had the idea of putting up some pictures from across Second Life history on the fifteen floors of the tower, one for each year. Unfortunately, I ran past the prim limit, and had to take some down. Oh well, I should be able to keep a few up.

The sims open Sunday at noon. So be there at the Second Life Fifteenth Birthday celebration.

SL15B Update

On Monday May 21, the first of the applications for the SL15B were answered. The Newser got it's answer the following day on Tuesday. We're approved. Listening in the SLB group, others also got their approvals, though not everyone. Others will follow. For those approved, Starting at Noon on Friday May 25, they can message a volunteer and be invited to the exhibitors' group. Once you accept, you can be shown your parcel and claim it. The deadline for exhibitors to claim their parcels is Tuesday May 29. For more details on the timeline, Click here.

After over a month of not changing much, the SL15B sims are taking shape. The total area has grown by six sims to twenty-one, three more than last year. The additional space will be needed as the number of applications us more than last year.

Sunday June 19 is when the SL15B opens. Stay tuned for more updates.

Sneak Peak: The SL Newser SL15B Exhibit

It was almost two weeks ago on April 13 that applications for this year's Second Life Birthday celebration began being accepted. Among the organizations applying, the Second Life Newser. Once again, the talented Silvia Ametza is lending her skills and time, along with her friend Aimeelou Destiny, to build our exhibit. She showed me her progress shortly after her building started. Exactly what it will be, well, we're not saying just yet other than it will reflect the theme of Crystal Anniversary in some way. Stay tuned for more sneak peaks of the SL Newser SLB exhibit, and that of the Sunweaver community.

SL15B Theme Announced: Crystal Anniversary

The theme for 2018's Second Life Birthday celebration event has finally been announced. This year, the theme is "Crystal Anniversary."

As Second Life begins to celebrate its 15th birthday, our “crystal” theme aims to inspire residents to reflect both on the past and see into the future. The community is encouraged to use the crystal aesthetic and concept to creatively express their favorite SL features of the past while also looking forward into the future. The “crystal” theme allows for exploration of the tapestry of time that weaves together the past, present and future of Second Life.

The theme may have been inspired from fifteenth wedding anniversaries traditionally being called crystal ones.

This is also the day that applications for performers, exhibitors, and volunteers are open for those wanting to file one. For the latter two, you'll have only a few weeks to do so as applications for exhibitors and volunteers close on May 7. On May 7, the regions are open to builders with May 29 being the deadline for parcel claims. Performers have longer to decide whether or not to take part, their deadline being May 31.

This will be quite an exciting event, so be sure to stay tuned for updates.
