SL15B Exhibitor Parcel Claim Deadline Today

For the first round of exhibitors of the Second Life Birthday approved by email, and were able to claim parcels on the SL15B sims starting last Friday, time is running out. The deadline to make your claim is today at Noon SL time. So if you haven't, get there.

No word yet about the deadline for the second round of exhibitors.

SL15B Open to Exhibitors

 The early part of the Second Life Fifteenth Birthday is over. The exhibitors, at least the first round of those approved, were notified a few days ago in their emails. And starting at Noon today, they could ask to be invited to the exhibitors' group and claim their plots. Ant the Newser "threw it's hat in the ring" once more. Our build will be at SL15B Spectacular.

Already, some exhibitors are putting their builds up. So we can't show you an expanse of plots waiting to be claimed as the builders were that fast. We may show you a few sneak peaks over the next few weeks. But we can't reveal too much, not yet, at least of the builds. But there's still plenty to write about in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for further updates.

The sims open to all on Sunday June 17 at Noon SL time when the celebration begins.

Sansar Creator Preview - Ria

(Click here if the video fails to play)

Posted on July 6 by Linden Lab, with the help of Draxtor Despress, "Opening to the public in 2017, Sansar is the best way to create, share, and monetize your own social VR experiences. You can apply to join our creator preview community now at Sansar.com. Ria shares her thoughts on this new platform and offers a sneak peek at "Little Giant," one of the first experiences created with Sansar during the creator preview."

Daniel Voyager, Inra Pey, and Hamlet Au would write about the video, Inra having the most to say.  Being a promotional video, Inra cautioned, "Those looking for details on Sansar are going to be disappointed ... given it is a promo video, reading too much into what 'is' or 'isn’t' said would be a mistake." Among what was spoken was Ria's claim that "right now, there is nothing even remotely like Sansar, " something any Second Life user will tell you is not true. Hamlet Au was unusually critical of the Lab for this, "Linden Lab knows full well, because for one thing, the company's invested in Philip Rosedale's High Fidelity. Not to mention all the other competitors in the social VR space which have similar aspects to all or most of what Sansar is purporting to offer." It could easily be argued this is another sign Linden Lab is expecting few Second Life users to make a complete change to Sansar and will be marketing their next generation virtual world to others.

Putting Our "Hat In The Ring"

The Newser finally got it's plot for it's exhibit at the SL12B. To let everyone know it was claimed, an object had to be rezzed on it. Some just rezzed the "slice of cake" that all exhibitors received from volunteers. Me however, I left something else behind.

Stay tuned for more details on the SL12B.
