This group is now one years old, and the largest, and most active on OSW. I created this group as an alternative to posting on the sometimes toxic front page box. It's clearly something that people find useful. Thanks to everyone for helping folks who are looking for stuff.

After a year, its time to assess and see what improvements we might be able to make. I know one big issue has been getting your posts noticed, as people may not make it a habit to check in here to see if there is someone looking for help.

The solution I found was to ask that people use our group chat to provide a link to their post to immediately alert people about it. The tricky thing is mentioning what kind of thing you are looking for, so the people who might be able to help are alerted, without saying exactly what you are looking for, which might result in a discussion in chat rather than a response to the post. We aim to be an alternative to asking for help via chat.

I seem to always be on the verge of finding a way to help say what you are looking for, generally, without saying what you are looking for specifically. So far the solution eludes me.

So, other than asking for help coming up with a solution to that dilemma, I'm looking for people to let us know about any other issues and/or suggestions about how to make the group work better.

Also, if someone wants to help plan a one year anniversary party event, let me know. It's an opportunity to get together with the friends you have, and the friends you have yet to meet, and to acknowledge everyone who has offered help in the past year.

Miss Munk will be spinning her wheels of steel at 1 pm grid time, at The Piazza!

Black White Castle wird schon bald 1 Jahr alt - Zeit, die Region endlich mit einer Party einzuweihen! Wie der Name schon sagt, ist Black White Castle komplett in schwarz-weiß Tönen gehalten, daher sind möglichst monochrome Outfits, vielleicht sogar im Vintage-Stil sehr wünschenswert!!! Schließlich soll sich jeder Partygast wie auf einer Zeitreise zurück in die Schwarzweiß-Film-Ära fühlen.

Black White Castle will be 1 year old soon - so it is time to finally inaugurate the region with a party! Black White Castle is completely designed in black and white tones, so monochrome outfits, perhaps even vintage style, are highly desirable!!! Every party guest should feel like traveling back in time to the black and white film era.

The excitement of turning a dream into reality. It begins as a spark of imagination, a vivid mental picture of a breathtaking world—perhaps a misty mountain range, an alien landscape, or a bustling medieval city. This dream is like the first stroke of inspiration for an artist.

When you start building, the blank OpenSim region becomes your canvas, a digital palette where each prim, texture, and script is a brushstroke. The process is exhilarating as you shape the terrain, paint the sky with colors and clouds, and breathe life into your vision. You sculpt cliffs, plant forests, and carve rivers, adding details that make your world not just beautiful but immersive.

What makes OpenSim even more thrilling is its ability to provide massive land sizes without the prohibitive costs of other virtual platforms like Second Life. The expansive landscapes give creators room to explore their wildest ideas, unburdened by financial constraints. This freedom fuels creativity, allowing for sprawling builds that are limited only by the creator’s imagination.

There's also a sense of discovery as the imagined meets the possible. You experiment with elements—adjusting lighting for a perfect sunset, scripting interactive elements, or adding soundscapes that make the environment hum with life. The joy of creation is heightened when the imagined dream surpasses your expectations and becomes a place where others can explore, share, and marvel.

Building in OpenSim is not just crafting pixels; it’s the act of creation in its purest form—a thrilling dance between imagination and realization, where the limits are only bound by the extent of your dreams.

This is an excellent place to start:

Our lore / backstory
To avoid being killed in a vicious nightly attack, King Maximus, and his advisor Steve, had to leave the continent temporarily. What was ment to be only weeks, became years as they crashed in unexpected islands reefs.
They finally travelled back with trusted people to reconquer the Throne, and on arrival found something quite intriguing. The seven kingdoms were left without rulers, almost emptied, even from citizens!
The former King and his group investigated, one land after the other, questioned the rare livings still around. They discover that dragons came back in mass, and took over by the force of their claws and fire, into what is now called the Flaming Era.
Everyone will try to unite, finding ways to regain control of the kingdoms.

Join us at 5 pm grid time for an hour of great fun with a live performance from Steven Strikker.
The Piazza, where great fun and good friends come together.

Here, we have created a fence with different vantage points. I've done it in a texture that I'll share as well, but you are free to alter the textures and create any dimension you wish. Since these are our creations and are available for purchase in SL, we kindly request that you refrain from attempting to take them there. They'll be in the Saturday box, so enjoy yourself with them. They are mesh.

Join us at the Piazza at 3 pm grid time, for a couple of hours of fun and music while Rockin' Robert spins the tunes for us via his radio station Wax Radio.

Voici le compte-rendu de la Réunion d'hier établi par Prodyck
.
Compte rendu de la réunion du jeudi 5 décembre

Merci à Eden d'accueillir régulièrement cette réunion sur sa grille. De nombreuses personnes n'ont pu être informées ou venir en raison de la maintenance d'Osgrid. L'information a été diffusée sur Discord, le groupe des Francophones sur Opensimworld, ainsi que via les contacts de chacun.

Ont été abordés :

La sous-utilisation du groupe francophone d'Osw est un problème particulièrement criant vu les circonstances.

Le problème de l'utilisation du chat écrit et de la voix : les discussions techniques sont plus compréhensibles par écrit. La voix donne des discussions plus vivantes. Mais dans ce type de réunion où le nombre d'avatars est réduit, cela ne pose pas de gros problèmes. Il ne s'agit ni d'un cours magistral, ni d'une conférence, mais d'une discussion à bâtons rompus détendue qui est plus facile d'accès pour certaines personnes.

Il apparaît que cette réunion devrait être plus structurée. Pour une meilleure prise en compte de ce type de réunion, il sera demandé aux uns et aux autres quels sujets ils voudraient aborder.

Ankh est venue nous expliquer de façon détaillée ce qu'est une machine virtuelle, comment la créer et s'en servir. Un sujet qui a retenu l'attention de tous.

Il a aussi été question d'une clé USB bootable, particulièrement pour tester les versions Linux et des problèmes avec le setup pour certaines machines.

Enfin, sur Francopholie, le mémorial continue de se mettre en place.

Je suis parti à ce moment-là.
