Hi all, Maria Korolov is joining us tomorrow for the first Safari of the Fall season.
The announced venue has changed, though. Meeting at the OSgrid clubhouse, not on the Safari annex. That's because Avacon grid had something happen with its servers, and although it is back online and lovely, there is a bug in Textures. https://opensimworld.com/events/92284

What makes OSGrid special?
Some grid veterans weigh in... including Dan 'pretty boy' Banner, shown here
plus news of the musical fun coming up over the weekend of the 30 - 31 July

Opensimworld is such a great resource for opensim - love it! The home page has so much useful info on it.
My request - could The Box be moved further down the page? Maybe swap with Events or Bookmarks? Just because more often than not The Box is so depressingly infantile and completely useless to anyone looking for information.

This week's InWorld Review featured a great build over on the Science Circle, with AbaBrukh Aabye, plus a 30 minute roundup of some opensim news. You can watch it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzVCNz1sMgY

Cornflakes Week! It is the final week of February.
It's a uniquely Opensim festival, not linked to any season, religious, or national festival.
It's about silliness, fun and bright colors.
It's a way to show solidarity and unite opensim.
Any grid or region can hold their own version of a Cornflakes party! If you plan to mod your usual weekly dance event to make it cornflake-y I would love to know, and include it in the video this year.

Beginning soon (12.00 Grid time) a party to celebrate fifteen years of the MdM and the extraordinary dedication and work of Rosanna Galvani to nurture, divulge and protect virtual art in both SL and Opensim.
The party is here craft-world.org:8002:Art Garage

Today there was a post about the closing of a really nice grid, and I want to put an icon showing I am sorry it's going.
The only non-happy comment icon is the prayer symbol - not appropriate. I don't want to encourage negativity on OSW but... can we have a face with a tear? Also a "wow" face would be a great icon to add.
