IT'S NOT TOO LATE!
Promote your grid, show off your creativity, on one of the free parcels of land at OpensimFest.
If you are using an HG avatar, you will not see a group invite unless you are in the OSFest grid at the time the invite is sent. If you are using a local avatar, check your notifications to see your group invite. If you don't see it, let one of the organizers or admins know. Here is an updated grid layout map that shows grey parcels are taken. Can't see the map clearly? click here https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/891871633726398474/...

OSFest begins on July 8 2022
(*nah, not really any drama, but pretty interesting as part of Opensim's cultural legacy.)

No, seriously, here are the limits to what's allowed behavior at OSFest. It's serious business.

If the builds are the heart of OpensimFest, then the musical performances are its soul, so who better to organize the performers than the Fairy Godmother of soulful tunes of every genre, Rosa Alexeev.

Do you need a nice building in which to show off your creations/merchandize at OSFest?
Making mesh that fits the limits of the grid can be challenging but Luna Lunaria has kindly provided a solution!
" Fits the 64 x 64 and is full perms so that you can size it to your parcel and do with whatever you like. You can find it at the main landing as well as the landings for Oxygen, Sulphur, and Fluorine. Feel free to share it" - Luna Lunaria

OpensimFest is a machine with many moving parts, and dedicated volunteers help to keep it running smoothly. Curious about who's who at the Fest? Check out this profile of Contessa Lacombe, the Exhibit Coordinator
