(reposting this for as long as necessary until goal is achieved. hoping to announce success asap so that we can have it concluded and move on to a happy and festive christmas/holiday for all) :)

Our dear Luna Lunaria has passed. Rather than only mourn her, which we all do in our own ways, let us band together and show Luna's real life family...just how much she meant to us.

To some, perhaps Luna was a character from one of her rl human creator's stories. To most of us, she was much, much more. It is with a heavy heart that I have shouldered the responsibility as one of her many friends, to setup a GoFundMe for an idea i had: to name an actual star (or multiple stars different names from her stories or rl family), depending on how well this goes. If you like this idea, please find it in your heart to contribute to a worthy cause! https://gofund.me/60f7d925d

Not one thin penny will go to anything not Luna related, with the main goal being at least an "ultimate" star package from the international star registry. All pertinent information is listed in the interest of transparency. If we exceed the $200 goal, additional items or a bigger package may be purchased. I will be working with Lone Wolf on this, and any real life items to be mailed, will be sent discreetly and privately to Luna's real life family, pending their approval. For now, let's just get this ball rolling and see how much this OpenSim community loves and embraces her. She inspired us and gave us so much. Let us give back. Seriously, if you can spare only a buck, 1 dollar of your native currency, 25 cents, whatever it may be, it all comes from the heart. You are not required for your real name or any info to be publicly disclosed if you donate, so keep that in mind, friends. Any questions please contact Leonitas Lionheart or Remmy Ravenhurst of Homelandz Grid, Star Ravenhurst of Tenth Dimension Grid, or Lone Wolf of Wolf Territories grid.

Just a reminder ... I'm having a great big fat sale! Most items (not all) are 50% off! This includes homes, stores, furniture & textures!

The sale is only on the Kitely Market at:
https://bit.ly/4windskitely
We export to most worlds.

Please IM me if you have any questions. I don't have my Four Winds land open yet but I'm happy to rez them for you in world if you want to see before you buy.

Thanks for your consideration. :)

2025 RESULTS
Every year, in December, my team and I review the "outgoing year," highlighting our achievements and setbacks. We also share the development of our community. And this year will be no exception.

This year, like last year, has been challenging and eventful for us. It's not over yet, but challenges and minor problems continue to surround us, and we, in turn, continue to actively address them. We wish each of you strength and success in overcoming all the difficulties you encounter along your journey.

For the "Opensimulator" virtual community as a whole, this year was also challenging and eventful in terms of development, setbacks, and losses. And despite all the difficulties, we managed to survive this year and maintain the integrity of our idea and commitment to our values ​​and interests.
So, let's start by talking about our failures and losses.
FAILURE OF THE YEAR
I consider geoblocking, which arose as a result of targeted control measures (data protection, blocking access to information due to law or security requirements) in the Russian-language segment of the internet, to be the failure of the year. It affects the social development of our world as a whole. And although it exists, our world has continued to function and develop. Yes, it is a significant hindrance. But so far this year, we haven't been able to completely circumvent all the restrictions that were imposed. I hope we will definitely solve this problem next year. And next year will be filled with positive emotions for all of us.
LOSS OF THE YEAR
This year, we lost two truly wonderful residents of the Opensim metaverse who always supported our world and the Opensim community as a whole, and who have made enormous contributions to the development of the metaverse. Luna Lunaria, the great designer and creator of the Wolf Territory world. She has passed away, but her memory and her work will forever remain in the metaverse. For me, she was a good friend, whom I often turned to for advice when I was struggling. Together, we explored PBR materials and studied the conceptual development of PBR worlds. Rest in peace. Your fire of enthusiasm for the development of worlds continues to burn in our hearts. Verna Avril is an excellent DJ in the OSGRID world. She dedicated her entire life to creating magnificent sets. I loved listening to her sets and attending parties with her. She was also a good friend of mine. Rest in peace, my friends. Your memory will forever remain in my heart. We remember you guys and will always remember you. Another loss is the passing of my co-owner, Trevor Belmont. For five years, he was an excellent creator and developer and my supporter. He decided to take a different path. I respect his choice and appreciate his contribution to the development of the RussianGrid world. ACHIEVEMENT OF THE YEAR
We've all had plenty of accomplishments this year.
- We've all had the chance to meet new, interesting creative people and worlds open to friendly collaboration with the Russian-speaking segment of the OpenSimulator. We're open to everyone.
- We completed construction and opened the enormous Galaxy Hall cinema and concert hall.
- We've begun creating a museum of Russian art at the Alex Leo residence. The residence was completed entirely using PBR. Thanks to Luna Lunaria for the consultations.
- We managed to complete (independently, without consulting scripters) the Kario male body.
- The new OpenSimulator engine allows us to fully work with PBR materials.
- Restructuring of the STEKLOFF club. Branches of the club, which was very popular with OpenSimulator residents, will now be located in many regions, and they will broadcast events from the main STEKLOFF club.
- This year has seen tremendous development in our world's web resources. We've acquired services such as our own messenger, our own social network, our own cloud storage for users, and our own Flikr equivalent. Most importantly, we've finally managed to create a fully-fledged media streaming grid server, allowing every user to host full-fledged video streams completely free and without restrictions. Our cinema is powered by it.

- We've created a texture cache proxy server. This allows users with slower computers to play comfortably. Cache and textures load instantly. Thanks to this, you no longer need to store tens of gigabytes of cache on your PCs and worry about clearing it every time it gets full.
- Huge thanks to @FerdFrederix for his support, development, and optimization of the DreamGrid project. We appreciate it.
- Huge thanks to @Mike Mills for providing technical support and solving huge problems in the world. My favorite system administrator. I'm glad the server problems are in his hands.
- In terms of server optimization, we were able to achieve excellent frame rates with the most minimal hardware requirements. The security system has also been optimized. There's no longer a need to block users. After the global rules are finalized, intelligent security will be enabled in all regions.
The "Zorkiy Glaz" intelligent system will automatically monitor regional security.
Despite all the restrictions surrounding our world, and the discrediting of our world by unfriendly worlds, we managed to end this year with dignity. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, Alex Leo 12/06/2025.

Wolf Territories had an amazing memorial for Luna Lunaria on Sunday. DJ Spirit was the last performer of the day and honored Luna by playing her song requests through the years. They say that if you listen to a person's favorite songs, you get a little more insight into that person. It was a lovely tribute. Luna's Real World Son was there and asked if some of it could be filmed.
Here it is, Luna's last requests.

John Mayall – Der Vater des britischen Blues

Wenn man die Geschichte der Rockmusik betrachtet, stößt man unweigerlich auf Namen, die wie Monolithen in der Landschaft stehen.
Doch hinter den glitzernden Fassaden von Bands wie Fleetwood Mac, Cream oder den Rolling Stones
verbirgt sich oft ein gemeinsamer Nenner, ein Fundament, auf dem diese Paläste errichtet wurden.
John Mayall war genau dieses Fundament ...

Kitely Winter Fair: your booth design can be rewarded!
After the huge success of our 2024 Winter Fair, we simply had to bring it back for another sparkling edition! ❄️✨
And this year… we want YOU to be part of the enchantment. it will be in the Kitely world Catronian Archipelago.


We warmly invite all merchants to reserve their spot at our charming winter market. Each participant can claim two stalls to showcase their creations — and yes, we love freebies… we really do! 😉 For the best design we offer a prize in dollars ( you need a PayPal account).

Imagine your stall set in a picturesque, old-European village square (think Dutch–German vibes), gently dusted with snow. Around you: twinkling Christmas lights, cosy market huts, waffles and warm drinks, music in the air, excited visitors hunting for decorations… and of course, talented artists turning the little houses into a magical gallery trail.

Our market is nestled in the heart of a 12-sim-wide Winter Wonderland, home of the legendary 11 Cities Skating Tour!
Find the checkpoints, collect the stamps, earn the trophy — and maybe even secure a proud place in the Skaters’ Hall of Fame. ⛸️🏆

This fair traditionally attracts a huge crowd, so early reservations are highly recommended. Many booths are already taken. There is no need to be a highly skilled designer or builder, it is for the fun of participating.
To secure your two stalls, please send an IM to Trouble Ahead.

Today, as I entered my OutOfThisWorld grid, I lifted my gaze to the firmament
and saw a new star shining with the brilliance of a radiant beacon.

In that moment, I understood
that a dear friend had departed to the realm of the immortals.

Luna Lunaria, my friend… you will be deeply missed.

Each time I behold your creations,
so exceptional and beautiful,
you will live on in memory.

May the Creator grant you eternal peace and love.

Thank you, dear Lunita, for accepting me as your friend.
I will always carry you in my heart and mind.

Today is the memorial for Luna Lunaria, it's a time to be both sad to have lost a friend, but glad to have had the chance to know such a nice person and fabulous builder, who cared so much about our unique community.
