An Art Hive is a community art studio that welcomes everyone as an artist. From an art pop-up in a local library to a community studio or gallery, at its heart, an Art Hive is about inclusion, respect and learning. It's a welcoming place to talk, make art and build communities. Responding in creative ways to things that matter.

We have released WolfVoice to GitHub this morning - this is a complete WebRTC setup for OpenSim, so you can switch off Vivox or add voice to any grid. It includes the server software and full setup instructions.

Note that we run the amazing OpenSim NGC, so it's designed to run with that, but it should run with any version of OpenSim. No more Vivox Droputs. https://github.com/wolfsoftwaresystemsltd/wolfvoice is the repository. Have fun!

FINAL NOTICE, YANA DAKOTA

After much consideration, I have decided to leave OpenSim completely.
Effective immediately, I am retiring as a DJ and ending all my OpenSim activities.
This is a personal decision. My RL, my future and my peace are more important to me now.
I am not leaving defeated or broken.
I am simply done.
Thank you to everyone who shared music, friendship and good times with me over the years.
This chapter is closed.

PS. Samsara will remain with TwizTidTimez Grid, entrusted to Faith. Trust matters.

Yana Dakota

I made a mistake!
Will be next Wednesday... 26. of August... Sorry!

🤠 ADRIAN MOON — COUNTRY VIBES AT THE BARN 🎸

Gentle Fire Grid is getting a little dusty today.

Adrian Moon is taking over The Barn from 12 till 2 PM Grid Time with a country-flavoured set that may contain guitars, questionable dance moves, and absolutely no guarantee that anyone leaves with their dignity intact. 😂

Expect country classics, feel-good tunes, a few surprises, and the kind of atmosphere where you come for the music and somehow end up arguing about who looks better in a cowboy hat.

No fancy rules. No serious business. Just good music, good people, and Adrian behind the decks pretending he knows what he’s doing. 🤣

📍 The Barn — Gentle Fire Grid
🕛 Today • 12:00–2:00 PM Grid Time
🎧 DJ: Adrian Moon
🤠 Dress code: Country, cowboy, outlaw… or whatever you managed to put on before noon.

Teleport: hop://login.gentlefiregrid.net:8002/Nevada/140/83/22

Come for the country. Stay because you can't find the exit. 😂🎶
