I have fallen far behind in my care and feeding of the now robust What Are You Looking For group. I'm making up for that by posting to the front page a list of our recent helpers that I would usually post in the group. My point in doing this is to let people know that their help will be acknowledged. I'm several months behind in doing this, so, for now, this is a list of our helpers in the past 2 months. I've also included info about them. If it's about their region, I've provided a region address. Go visit and know that they are nice people. If it's info about their interests and such, you might seek them out if you have a mutual interest, or use it as a conversation starter if you see them at an event. You will recognize them as they have avatars that look like the people in that charming picture of helpers. (Or maybe not. Ya, probably not.) In any case, you will want to get to know them because, as I've said, our helpers are good people. The list.

What is this group about? I'm still figuring it out. This is what I've got so far. This should be...
1. A place to look at pix and videos, especially those part of a collection, and to get links to them.
2. A place to find a brief commentary or notification about recent posts from (and links to) news sites, blogs, and articles focused on OS.
3. A place that doesn't duplicate the purpose of OSW "News" forum, whatever that purpose is, in intent and practice.
4. A place to send people who want to know what OS is.
5. A place where you can get a fuller, deeper understanding and appreciation of what OS is.

Have a look at the posts I've done to get a sense about what I hope this group will be. Your thoughts? And, can you suggest a name for the group that best evokes the group purpose?

Looking for a DJ for March 21st @12noon grid time, that knows and has music for a NYC CBGB Party. You know what CBGB's was and where it was and know how to bring it. Contact Kimm Starr, let's represent!!!!!!!!!

What is Open Sim? "OpenSim — short for OpenSimulator — is free, open source software that allows anyone to create a virtual world and run in on their own computer." Where did I learn this? On the website of Hypergrid Business, an online publication about “immersive virtual reality environments and virtual worlds.” https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/faq/what-is-opensim/

Hypergrid Business has a lot to offer people interested in OS.
Open Sim news: https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/category/metaverse/
Active OpenSim Grids https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/statistics/active-grids/
Grids Renting Land https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/category/vendors/single-...
If interested in the wider realm of virtual world, here is the home page: https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/

Oh, and ya. Open Sim is also the name of a virtual human muscle and skeleton simulator. Confusing.

Jupiter Roland has German blog in the Fediverse about virtual worlds. The most recent post was Mar. 5, "Asset Apocalypse: Und dann ging es ganz schnell mit dem OSgrid" about the decision to put OSgrid into long-term maintenance. Read it here: https://publish.ministryofinternet.eu/jupiter-rowland/asse...

I'm still trying to figure out the name.
1. Why Yes! I Do Have a Media Site About OS.
2. OS News and Views: Blogs, Pix and Video".
3. The View: OS Blogs, Pix and Video.

And I'm still trying to figure out how to explain the aim of the group. Have a look at the current posts and you might get a sense of it.

Hypergrid Safari is a tour group/social club that visits two different grids each week. (The next tour season opens in April). After the visit there is usually a write-up on the blog https://hgsafari.blogspot.com/

To quote Cherry Manga "HG Safari is the best place to learn about hypergrid, and to discover fabulous places to visit."

The most recent entry on the blog is about the visit to Loru Destiny's fabulous Opensim Film festival, featuring Opensim's filmmakers. It's a post on a OS media site about OS media creators! Unfortunately, the "Why Yes! I Do Have a Media Site About OS" group opened after the event, as this would have been great to promote in advance. Plan to visit next year! From the HG Safari blog, here is a picture of The Drive In at the Opensim Film festival, where you click on the posters in front of the giant screen to access the many choices of featured short films.
