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.

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.

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.

Everyone, we love you all! But:-
We cannot provide support for DreamGrid (don't know anything about it)
We have nothing to do with OSGRID
We'd love to help but we're busy enough supporting our wonderful Wolf Grid users! (Photo from Jimmy Olsen's Iceland region) - ofcourse if you want to migrate to Wolf Grid as so many have done we'll do our very best to help you!

Spirit of Dreams - A new region- The Gateway to Pandora (portal to iknimaya)


In the heart of Spirit of Dreams, where the sacred fire burns and the river sings to the ancestors, there lies a hidden pathway—a portal of the spirit, where time bends and the soul transcends.

This ancient gateway, known as The Veil of Echoes, is a sacred place where shamans, healers, and seekers of wisdom journey beyond the limits of time. Through deep meditation, guided rituals, and the whisper of the wind, spirits travel forward—not to a future of steel and machines, but to a world where nature remains sovereign.

Year 2374 – The Age of Rekindling
The spirits speak of a time, nearly 350 years ahead, where the Earth has begun to heal, and those who once walked in harmony with the land find a new home among the stars. Through the ancestral bond, the Na'vi and the keepers of the old Earth are reunited, sharing knowledge of balance, energy, and life.

It is here, in Spirit of Dreams, that the bridge between worlds remains open. The portal glows faintly at twilight, flickering with the energy of unseen forces. A ritual of spirit travel must be performed—guided by the rhythm of the drum, the scent of sage, and the breath of the wind.

This is a work in progress, please visit any time to see the progress. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Spirit of Dreams
