Today I ran across the Halloween region on the Island Oasis grid(created by Sophia Paolino). I thought Island Oasis was a closed world? Or are some parts accessible to OpenSim. I stopped playing Island Oasis cuz no one was there!!! How long has this been available?

Just to point out that the header on the page reading, "There are no news" is incorrect as news in itself is singular. So it ought to read :
"There is no news" ~ or it could use the multiple "There are no news items", either way would be correct.

Well… we all have to start somewhere. I wanted to start off with a bang. This is something I’ve slowly been developing from the ground up. It’s basically an OpenSim version of CasperVend. It’s certainly not a competitor, since CasperVend was bought out by Linden Lab, but I kind of figured—why don’t more people use this instead of marketplaces if they want an in-world store? You know, to sell self-made things if they don’t have a marketplace and prefer the old-school way.

Like CasperVend, this includes product redelivery management, redelivery terminals, and a web-based management portal, as you can see from my screenshot. Everything is shown: the user’s name in-world, the item they purchased, revenue management, etc.

At first this wasn’t web-based and was entirely done from in-world, but with the tools and the innovation, it can now be hosted on my own web hosting service—or server, I should say. It’s as easy as dropping in your delivery server and your vendor script, then adding each product. It’s been a pain, but I finally managed it, and I hope to add so many more cool features like blacklisting, setting the amount available, and much more.

Anyway, I’ve got a ton more, like a TV and a breedables system, and so on and so forth. The possibilities are endless, and I just wanted the bragging rights for doing this all by myself, I guess. Well, you get where I’m going with that. People can create a ton of things, and best of all, none of my stuff costs a single cent. Why? Well, OpenSim is meant to be a free alternative, so spending money is the last thing I want anyone to do.

Thanks for reading.

💕 SPEED DATING – APHRA SOCIAL CLUB

Our last Speed Dating event was a great success, and people have already asked us to do it again. Well, the event, of course. LOL!

Everyone is welcome to join the party – and nobody has to participate in dating.

What makes this event different from an ordinary party? Our incredible Dating Boards! You can leave your picture and a notecard at any time, whether you're looking for love, friendship, or simply curious about who's out there.

The boards are automatically cleared every four weeks, which is why I think making this a monthly event is a great idea!

And remember: Everyone is welcome, just cover your bits! We're relaxed here, not formal. This isn't the grand ballroom affair – not yet, anyway! 😉

🌐 **GridGather: three weeks in, and the Hypergrid showed up!** 🎉

Hey OpenSim family! 👋

When we launched on October 13, GridGather was a brand-new idea: one social home for every grid on the Hypergrid. Three weeks later, here's where we are:

👥 **70+ members** and growing every week
🗺️ **55 Regions** with their own pages, photo feeds and live "who's online" status
🎶 **30+ Venues** showing live head counts from their in-world boards
📡 **Dozens of GatherPoint boards** reporting in around the clock, across the grids
⏱️ **Almost 8 minutes** on the average visit. You're not just stopping by, you're hanging out!

✨ **New since launch:**
🏷️ **Post badges**: Greetings, Now Hiring, seasonal fun and more
🏠 **Venues in Regions**: link your club to the sim it lives on, even as a tenant on a friend's Region
🕰️ **Automatic Grid Time**: event times stay right through every time change
🔑 **One board for everything**: any Venue or Region key works on the new GatherPoint v10.4 board

Thank you to every DJ, host, builder and explorer who took a chance on something new. You're the reason it works. 💜

Liebe Lagerfeuertänzer und Musikzuhörer.
Morgen am 2. November ab 20:00 Uhr(12:00 SLT) gibts wieder eine Musikalische Rumpelkiste am Lagerfeuer. (Vormusik ab 19:30).
Leute - wir haben schon November - und jetzt wirds kühler draussen - da werde ich doch mal den versprochenen zweiten Italienischen Abend "auspacken" - damit uns zumindest musikalisch noch die Gedanken an einen Italienurlaub aufwärmen können. Dann mal avanti, avanti...

Dear campfire dancers and music lovers.
Tomorrow, November 2nd, starting at 8:00 PM (12:00 SLT) , there will be another musical romp around the campfire. (Pre-music starts at 7:30 PM).
Folks – it's already November – and now it's getting colder outside – so I'll finally "unpack" the promised second Italian evening – so that we can at least warm ourselves musically with thoughts of an Italian vacation. Let's go, avanti!
