Some *might* have noticed that these words have been in every one of the four store builds since I started a year ago. Therefore:
'...let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honour and humility, mirth and reverence within you...'
The recent "knicker twist" (a *very* ugly and overly dismissive way to blow off what I read as being well-thought out and reasonable points raised by Marianna) does bring up a couple of questions:

Are there amateur builders left in Opensim?
It would be useful to define "amateur" -what do we mean by that term? Myself, I mean "self-taught", someone who has not been to art school or taken formal (not counting Builder's Brewery etc) courses on building. Other people may have different definitions -let's hear them.

It would also be useful to define "builder". When I say 'builder' I mean someone who makes creations with prims or mesh (Blender). (I'm excluding scripting, that's programming.) I'm aware that others define it in such a way as to refer to making modifications on pre-fab/pre-made mesh. Basically a "modder". In my mind it's a valid thing but it's different than building.

But language shifts and definitions change, "hacker" used to mean "someone who comes up with clever approaches to computer problems or design" -but for roughly 30 years it's been used to refer to people who break into computer systems and/or write viruses. As I say -definitions change.

So how do we define "builder" now? What constitutes "building"?

I can only think of a small handful of builders in the sense of making something from nothing, there's a larger pool of people who modify pre-made content -and unless I'm mistaken Marianna and Luna Luneria do a mix of both. Again, one isn't better than the other and both are forms of creative expression. But they are different.

The point of all this is to assess *need.* Do we need an organization? By "we" I am referring to "amateurs", I'm not referring to AuroraAsteria's group.

Moreover with the extremely low user numbers of Opensim would there be a point to creating an organization (beyond a collection of friends -I mean, if you already know each other knock yourselves out)?

I suspect -and have for years, that any such group would wither on the vine from lack of interest. Otherwise I'd be trying to start something myself.

I reserve the right to delete obnoxious comments and lock the comments entirely if it looks like they're going to simply be a shit-show. Show me that you *can* adult, OSW. Don't post insults (I'll delete them), paranoid rants (I'll delete them), off-topic diatribes about how somebody done somebody wrong songs (again -will delete). If there's a question about what the topic is intended to be -ask.

Make this a pain in my ass and I'll delete everything and lock the comments.

HarperHeld: Complaining about trans folks 1)In a post written by a trans woman 2)after said trans woman's already said "no paranoid rants" ...is very, very silly. I'm going to wrap this up, before things slide i... 11 hours ago

we spent our time focusing on our similarities
instead of our differences?

I have seen many discussions here become very toxic recently because people are focused on how we are all different. I love how we all are different, but we also have some common similarities; the most obvious is that we are all people behind the pixels.

Sometimes in life and Opensim, it is much easier to tear a person down than to build them up. Let's make the extra effort and support eachother!

This is our Opensim.....lets take pride in it!

Hi folks, you will start seeing a bit more of this around. Long story short: a bunch of as OS contributors have come together to align and improve with our shared brains!
=The Gilded Accord=

The Gilded Accord is a collective of active OpenSim contributors who came together to align and coordinate their efforts.
Its raison the etre is to align the existing efforts and labour of love of the top OpenSim contributors, fostering sharing of best practices, and cross-pollination: because the result of the sum of some part can sometimes be bigger, be the exponential improvement that is born out of many creative minds working together!
Its vision is an OpenSim hyper-world that enjoys free, quality items.

The aims of the Accord are to:
1. Offer a forum for active creators from different grid to coordinate themselves.
2. Foster sharing of best practices.
3. Drive standardisation on standard items, nomenclature and approach that enable further development of dependant items (i.e. appliers, auto-alpha...)
4. Maximise the each members effort by aligning on contributions roadmap.
5. Freely sharing core items (scripts, and similar) that both standarise and improve items
6. Share and align best practices
7. Weave a network of trusted, quality stores across the hypergrid.


The standards of Accord member are:
1. Respecting other people's contributions, while also encouraging consensual sharing of items across stores (particularly 'core' items like body skins, bodies, heads...that are always handy to have in different grids).
2. Standarising the use of [at least!] MOD+COPY format for items
3. Championing the use of normal and specular layers - especially for new items.
4. Making a reasonable use of physics (prioritising bounding box) and reasonable levels of LOD, ensuring a smoother loading on hypergrid.
5. Leverage standardised nomenclature (i.e. use the same names for body and head faces, so other people can create appliers for them).
6. Focus on items for adult avis.
7. Promotion and champion of other members work.

This sounds nice - but what does it look like?
For Accord member: A private discord server section where we can align and share. 'Hey I'm focusing on contributing X', 'Oh, then I'm going to focus on Y which complements X'.
For overall OS members: A trusted networks of stores that meet same standards, as well as regular updates on them from our discord!

Hicks: good initiative, it's one more tool in the toolbox. I wish you success yesterday

Ihr Lieben,

ich wünsche euch ein frohes neues Jahr und nur das Beste ....

Das neue Jahr fängt an und auch der Stil hat sich geändert. Wir laden euch herzlichst auf unsere Baustelle ein um schon einmal reinzuschnuppern.

Wenn es die Zeit zulässt wollen wir vor dem 6.1. noch eine schöne Poolparty machen. Derzeit werkel ich an der Shop Area wo wir euch mit neuer Kleidung, Scripten (evtl. das Tanzsystem *grins*) und mehr beglücken werden ....

Die Region hat eine Größe von 8x8 Sims und wird täglich weiter bebaut also immer mal reinschauen.

Aus Zeitgründen werde ich nicht doppelt texturieren sprich die Texturen sind primär PBR-lastig (ein alter Viewer sieht viel weiss xD).

Gruß Wiener

We wish you all a Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR

May 2025 bring you endless joy, success, and cherished moments with loved ones.
A new year is like a blank canvas. Paint it with bold colors, bright ideas and your beautiful imagination.
Happy New Year!
Cheers from C&C

Happy 2025 From Us to You

It's suspended there to remind us before we pop the champagne and celebrate the New Year, to stop and reflect on the year that has passed. Remember our triumphs and our missteps - our promises made, and broken. The times we opened ourselves up to great adventures - or closed ourselves down, for fear of getting hurt. Because that's what New Year's is all about: getting another chance. A chance to forgive, do better, do more, give more, love more. And stop worrying about 'what if' and start embracing what would be. So when that ball drops at midnight - and it will drop - let's remember to be nice to each other, kind to each other. And not just tonight but all year long

Happy New Year to you All.

Happy New Calendar Year 2025!
Wishing you all peace, joy, love and perpetual happines. Bright Blessings, The Starchilds

Yep, UDP still plays a role in areas like real-time updates (e.g., avatar movements or instant interactions), even if it’s a smaller portion of the data flow. But for the majority of traffic, optimizing HTTP settings like connection limits or caching strategies seems to make a much bigger difference
Wolf Territories Grid 18 hours ago
So that bandwidth setting doesn't do that much any more as it only handles UDP data and most of the data transferred is using http which is tcpip now.

It's the price of having the freedom to hop around grids. For instance, in "the other place," it is only a single grid, so it is easy to make things work all the time. No one else is trying it. But we have freedom and diversity, and that means things are finicky. I choose freedom with some glitches
Marianna yesterday
Bandwidth settings in Firestorm do more than just prevent server overload—they also optimize the user's connection for better performance. Regarding client capabilities, many older systems can handle 3Mb/s bandwidth, provided they have a stable internet connection and are well-maintained.
Pagane yesterday
bandwidth setting in Firestorm is to prevent server overload. About client...3Mb/s for any 20 year old PC is ...are you joke???

@Khironametza Unfortunately the ways of HG can be mysterious. Anything from a minor networking issue on both server and/or your ISP, to Robust acting up to... anything, really, can make a HG attempt fail :( Some days I can't get to R. Lion for instance. I know it's no consolation but..

The optimal bandwidth setting in Firestorm depends on your internet connection speed and quality. Setting it too high or too low can cause issues like slow rezzing, lag, or even connection loss.

Hi Khironametza, try lowering your draw distance and check your bandwidth, could be slow server and even ISP latency
